    Default Actual Video Footage Ceremony of the Japanese to MacArthur in Tokyo Bay in September 1945

    This is an actual film made of the surrender ceremony of the Japanese to MacArthur in Tokyo Bay in September 1945. Actual voice of the General.

    Never been shown to the general public before. We always saw the "stills" but never the film itself. If you are a history buff, you WILL enjoy it.

    Historical Footage: Japanese Surrender Signing Aboard Battleship Missouri Sunday Sept. 2, 1945. An important piece of history. Most people have seen still photos of the event but haven't seen the newsreel

    This is pretty cool! Definitely worth Watching!

    I'll have to watch it. My grandfather was a marine in the pacific and actually on the Missouri during the signing.

    Definitely an interesting watch. Hard to believe that it's never been available to public.

    Well, this reminds me of the high trousers, but MacArthur wasn't exactly a fast talker

    Thanks for the vid, we just watched it. Very cool
    It's my fault for making it look so easy.
