A number of witnesses against Tokyo Rose later indicated that they had lied in their testimony. She fed nearby American prisoners with her meager earnings from the TR gig.

She was a master at using American slang double entendre in her broadcasts that the Japanese did not understand. Many American troops thought she was on our side.
A very smart and complicated woman

Interesting about Tokyo Rose.

Kawakita wasn't pardoned, but he was released by Kennedy before the sentence (death) was carried out. Back to Japan. Almost as good as a pardon, but not one.
