On August 15, 1945, the Japanese fascists were completely defeated, but the crimes committed against the leaders of the Japanese fascists did not end with Japan's unconditional surrender.
Japan has killed so many innocent soldiers and civilians during the war of aggression, and the culprits of these crimes will certainly be punished by law.
On January 19, 1946, the United States, China, the Soviet Union, britain, France, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, and the Philippines jointly formed the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, and on May 3 of that year, the trial of Japanese war criminals was officially held.
What we will see below is the scene of the trial of the Japanese fascists.
The man walking in the middle of the photo without a hat is Japan's 41st prime minister, Class A war criminal Kuniaki Koiso.
After the fall of Hideki Tojo in 1944, Koiso Kuniaki was promoted to the new prime minister by the Emperor of Japan and the Emperor's regents.
During his tenure as prime minister, Koiso Kuniaki actively launched a war in a vain attempt to use the war to change the decline of Japan's imminent defeat, and during the September 18 Incident and the July 7 Incident, Koiso Kuniaki was also one of the fascists who actively advocated aggression against China, and he also killed a large number of Korean soldiers and civilians during his tenure as commander of Korea.
On November 12, 1948, Koiso Kuniaki was convicted of peace sabotage and sentenced to life imprisonment, and died a year later at Sugamo Prison in Toshima-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Trailing behind Kuniaki Koiso was Hiroshi Hirota, the 32nd Prime Minister of Japan, who was also an active member advocating aggression against China, and Hirota's aggressive tactics toward China were all carried out diplomatically.
In 1915, Japan proposed the "Twenty-One Articles" to China, including the active participation of Hirota Hiroshi, who proposed the Hirota Three Principles to China in 1935 during his tenure as Japanese Foreign Minister, and after Japan's defeat, Hirota Hiroshi was listed as a Class A war criminal and sentenced to hanging.
The photo shows the judge who tried 28 Japanese war criminals, the white-haired judge Sir William Webb from Australia, who appointed William Webb as its president after the establishment of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East.
Standing on the defense stand is Hideki Tojo's defense lawyer Ichiro Kiyose; although the crimes committed by the Japanese aggressors are unforgivable, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, as a just trial body, will also give criminals a chance to defend themselves.
Only after a just trial could the Japanese invaders realize the heinous crimes they had committed, and the lawyer who defended Hideki Tojo, Ichiro Kiyose, graduated from the Imperial Independence Department of Kyoto, Japan, and had also studied in European countries and had the title of Doctor of Laws.
Hideki Tojo hired such a professional lawyer in an attempt to escape the trial of the law, and it seems that Hideki Tojo still did not realize how deep his crime was.
The person who is speaking in the photo is also Brud, the defender of Hideki Tojo.
The photo shows the trial scene of Class A war criminal Shigetaro Shimada, and the person sitting on the defense bench is Muranan, Shimada's defender, who is defending Shimada.
Shimada Kitaro is a loyal follower of Hideki Tojo, originally the Japanese Army and Navy have always competed with each other for merit and no one obeyed anyone, but after the Army-born Hideki Tojo came to power, as a loyal follower of Hideki Tojo, Shimada Shigetaro led the Japanese Navy to actively participate in the war of aggression launched by Hideki Tojo.
Shimada Wasitaro was directly involved in the Japanese Navy's war of aggression against Shanghai in China in 1932, and when he was a navy admiral in 1940, he directed the bombing of Chongqing and the invasion of Hainan, causing numerous casualties Chinese.
Although he was sentenced to life imprisonment by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, Shimada Shigetaro, a class A war criminal who committed the most heinous crimes, was released only seven years later, and Shimada Shigetaro died in 1976 after another 21 years after his release.
The person in the photo is Japanese Lieutenant General Akira Muto, who is an active member of the invasion of China, and before the Japanese army invaded China, he sent a large number of spies to China to collect intelligence.
After the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, it was because of his order that the Japanese army entered the city of Nanjing and began to massacre the people of Nanjing, and the crimes he committed could not be forgiven, and the International Military Tribunal for the Far East sentenced him by hanging after his trial.
The two men who were playing chess were Japanese Class A war criminals Sato and Shiratori, who were direct participants in the Japanese invasion of French Indochina and were sentenced to life imprisonment after Japan's defeat.
Shiratori was a Japanese diplomat at the time, and during the War of Aggression waged by Japan, Shiratori actively engaged in diplomatic action for the Japanese invasion and contributed to the Triple Alliance between Germany, Italy and Japan, and after Japan's defeat, Shiratori was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Smoking was the Japanese fascist leader Hideki Tojo, a strong member of Japanese militarism who refused to confess guilt after Japan's defeat and tried to commit suicide before being hanged by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East.
Sitting with Hideki Tojo was his loyal follower, Shigetaro Shimada.
This is the Japanese Class A war criminals Hirota, Togo, Tojo, and Sato who are eating breakfast and waiting for the trial.
The men's hands were stained with blood, but there was not a hint of remorse in their expressions, and they seemed to think they had done the right thing.
Sitting on the cart was the Japanese Class-A war criminal Ishihara Guan'er, who was simply a cunning fox who was an active participant in Japan's war of aggression against China, and together with Hideki Tojo and others, planned the 918 Incident to invade northeast China.
After Japan's defeat, he disguised himself as a lover of peace, and repeatedly wrote letters to MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the United States in Japan, to excuse himself, and finally under the disguise of Ishihara, he actually escaped the trial of him.
Ishihara, who is coming out of his residence, because he has bladder cancer, so he needs to rely on people to promote travel, and when Japan has not yet launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, Ishihara has been collecting intelligence in China.
From 1920 to 1921, Ishihara took advantage of the opportunity of being appointed to the headquarters of the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army in Hankou to carry out large-scale intelligence collection in Hunan, Sichuan, Nanjing, Shanghai and other places in China.
In order to detect more perfect information, he also disguised himself as a Chinese to do coolies, and during a reconnaissance mission, he was almost arrested by the police, who later stripped him of all his clothes and let him go.
This also proves that Ishihara is a person with strong reconnaissance ability and is very good at camouflage himself.
Puyi, who was the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was not willing to accept the fall of the Qing Dynasty after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he ran to the northeast region with the support of a part of the royalists, and later colluded with the Japanese to establish the puppet state of Manchukuo, becoming a puppet of japan's invasion of China.
Puyi is swearing an oath to the judge at the scene of the trial, in any case, Puyi was once the emperor, and he may be the most heavyweight witness at the trial scene in the world.
Sitting on the witness stand was Tanaka, then a Japanese lieutenant general, secret service, and head of the War Department's military service, who was also an active participant in Japan's war of aggression.
But after Japan's defeat, he also tried to justify his crimes like Ishihara, and in order to reduce his punishment, he stood on the witness stand to testify against the militarists who had participated with him in the war of aggression.
The person in the center of this photograph is the Dewang of Inner Mongolia, and standing to his left is Tanaka, who tried to make Inner Mongolia independent from China through the support of the Japanese during the Japanese invasion of China.
After the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, King De was imprisoned in Zhangjiakou, and after the founding of New China, he was released in 1963 at the time of amnesty.
This is the Japanese war criminal Masaharu Honma and his wife Fujiko, during the trial of Masaharu Honma, Fujiko walked around trying to justify The crime of Masaharu Honma, and she once said that she was proud of her status as Masaharu Honma's wife.
Fujiko's words and deeds represent the thinking of many Japanese militarists, so Japan has not publicly apologized to those who were hurt by the Japanese army in World War II.
Masaharu Honma, who was on trial, could see from his sitting position that he was still arrogant even in court, and Honma Masaharu was finally sentenced to execution by shooting by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and executed in Manila in April 1946.
This is the Japanese war criminal Yamashita Fumifumi, who served as commander of the 14th Front when the Japanese army launched the war of aggression, and he was sentenced to death by hanging after Japan's defeat.
This was Hideki Tojo, who attempted suicide in a vain attempt to evade the law by committing suicide, and before being tried he pulled out the Colt pistol that Hitler had given him during his time in Germany and fired a shot at his own heart.
Hideki Tojo has committed so many crimes that if he were to let him go, it would be a lack of justice, and with the help of the Americans, Hideki Tojo was successfully rescued and sent to the International Military Tribunal for the Far East for trial.
The large number of American military planes flying over Tokyo Bay in Japan, the Japanese nation advocates force, but what they fear is also force, and it seems that only strong force can make Japan completely submit.
Some Of the Japanese war criminals who were cheering after Japan's surrender joined the ranks of the Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan, 140 Japanese war criminals were arrested by the People's Liberation Army in the War of Liberation.
After the founding of New China, the Soviet Union handed over 969 Japanese war criminals to New China, and more than a thousand of them were detained in the Taiyuan War Criminals Management Center in Shanxi Province and the Fushun War Criminals Management Center in Liaoning Province.
Later, due to the active reform of these war criminals in prisons, New China released all these war criminals in batches from 1950 to 1964 and returned to China, and these Japanese war criminals made great contributions to the cause of Sino-Japanese friendship after returning to China.
These were the first batch of war criminals to be released for lesser crimes, and these people were all war maniacs when they invaded China in those years, and they should be pleased that New China tolerated them.
The japanese are supported by the Japanese, the mother of the traitor Wang Jingwei, who took him to Japan in April 1940 in order to make Wang Jingwei die for the Japanese.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the nationalist government at that time, at the request of the people of Nanjing, blew up the grave of Wang Jingwei, who was buried in Meihua Mountain.
