I don't know if you have seen a movie about the trial of Japanese war criminals, called "Tokyo Trial", the movie tells about the Trial of Japanese war criminals in Tokyo after World War II, the focus of the trial is the Japanese war criminals in many ways to argue, making the trial very difficult to carry out, see that it is called an anger, but in the end, some war criminals were sent to the gallows, but do you know? The historical Tokyo trials may be even more infuriating.
Today, we will talk about the Tokyo Trial in conjunction with "Tokyo Trial"! In 1946, after Japan's surrender, more than a hundred Japanese Class A war criminals were all imprisoned, and a trial team organized by the victorious powers to carry out a trial of these Japanese war criminals.
Even the British and American prosecutors who tried the trial could not help but laugh at each other, saying that the court should prevaricate the prosecutor on the basis of facts, and let the plaintiff China present evidence that the Japanese army killed people and set fire to Nanjing.
At that time, the trial of these Japanese Class A war criminals was even more difficult, at this time, the people who were representatives of China returned to Nanjing with the US prosecutors, started from the people, explored all the scene materials, found a number of on-site photos, and finally used the overwhelming evidence to make these prosecutors dumbfounded, but what was the final outcome? The answer is that only a small percentage of people have been sent to the gallows.
But most of the war criminals were released only a few years after they were imprisoned, especially after World War II, the strategic policy of the United States made a large number of war criminals released from prison, and MacArthur at that time also issued the so-called "parole of war criminals" directive, in various names to parole or reduce the sentence of a large number of war criminals, and even Kishi Nobusuke, as a war criminal in World War II, became the prime minister of Japan in 1957.
What makes people even more indignant is Chiang Kai-shek, in order to use the strength of the Japanese army to carry out the civil war, vigorously prevented the trial of criminals from the Japanese army invading China, created the Jinan massacre, and carried out a "acquittal" of Okamura Ningji, commander of the Japanese Front army that implemented the Three Lights Policy in China.
