Eighty years ago today, September 2, 1945 (July 26, 1945 in the lunar calendar), where are the fascist A-class war criminals today? A Japanese surrender ceremony was held on the USS Missouri on September 2, 1945. At 9 a.m. on September 2, 1945, the Japanese surrender ceremony was held on the U.S. battleship USS Missouri in the Gulf of Tokyo. Japan's new Foreign Minister Aki Shigemitsu signed the surrender letter on behalf of the Japanese Emperor and the government, and Army Chief of Staff Mijiro Umezu signed the surrender letter on behalf of the imperial headquarters. Subsequently, General MacArthur, the representative of the Allied Powers and Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces who accepted the surrender, Admiral Nimitz, the representative of the United States, General Xu Yongchang, the representative of China, Admiral Fraser, the representative of the United Kingdom, Lieutenant General Gereviaco, and representatives of Australia, Canada, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand and other countries signed in turn. At this point, Japan, the last of the three fascist axis powers, officially surrendered, and World War II ended with the defeat of the fascist axis powers and the victory of the anti-fascist allies. Foreign Minister Akui Shigemitsu signed the contract on behalf of the Emperor and the Japanese government. The person standing next to him (first from left) is MacArthur's representative to China and Minister of Military Order Xu Yongchang signing the document. Why was another surrender ceremony held in China on September 9? On September 2, Japanese Foreign Minister Akui Shigemitsu formally signed the surrender letter on board the U.S. warship USS Missouri. This is a surrender to all anti-fascist allied forces. On September 9, Yoshiji Okamura, Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Invaders, submitted a surrender letter to He Yingqin, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Republic of China, in Nanjing. The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and World War II officially ended. The two surrendered to different objects and different meanings. Is the day when Japan formally surrenders to China on August 15 or September 2? On August 15, Japanese Emperor Hirohito officially announced Japan's unconditional surrender in the form of a broadcast of the "War End Edict." On September 2, a signing ceremony for Japan's surrender was held on the U.S. battleship USS Missouri anchored in the Gulf of Tokyo, Japan. On September 9, at the surrender ceremony of the China Theater held at the Nanjing Army Headquarters, Yasuji Okamura, Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Aggression Army in China, signed the surrender document on behalf of the Japanese base camp and handed over his personal sword to express that the Japanese invaders formally surrendered to China. In December 1949, the Government Council of the Central People's Government designated August 15 as the Victory Day of the Anti-Japanese War. Therefore, 8.15 is the announcement of surrender (not yet formally surrendered);9.2 is the formal surrender to the Allies; and the formal surrender to China should be counted as September 9. Japan's surrender signing ceremony The U.S. warship USS Missouri sailed into the Gulf of Tokyo. Sailors and photographers on the USS Missouri wait for a historic moment. Japan's surrender signing ceremony Extended reading: What is the fate of fascist A-class war criminals? Extended reading: What is the future of fascist A-class war criminals? On May 3, 1946, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East opened in Tokyo to try one of the culprits of launching World War II, the Japanese militarist ruling clique. The trial lasted until November 12, 1948 and was the largest and longest international trial in human history. However, due to various reasons, many Japanese war criminals were still released, including many A-class war criminals who committed heinous crimes. In order to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the China People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, Baidu Library compiled information on Class A war criminals who escaped war trials and issued a "Wanted Notice for Class A War Criminals Who Escaped Trial" to expose to the world the Class A war criminals who escaped trial. Devil's Staff Officer: Tsuji Zhengxin Tsuji Zhengxin is a "full-class war criminal" who has been rewarded by the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, France and China. In 1937, he served as a staff officer of the North China Front Army and advocated the expansion of the "Lugou Bridge Incident" and was known as the "Devil's Staff Officer". After the war, the Kuomintang government sheltered him and arranged for him to work in the Second Office of the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of China, and escaped trial. In January 1950, Tsuji Masanobu returned to Japan. However, fate will not let go of this fanatic who committed a heinous crime. Shortly after Tsuji Zhengbu flew to India in 1961, he disguised himself as a monk and sneaked into Laos in an attempt to steal the gold hidden by the Japanese army before withdrawing from Laos. However, he was then captured by the Lao People's Liberation Army and executed for "espionage", ending his criminal life. Maker of bacterial warfare: Shiro Ishii, former Minister of the 731st Force, Lieutenant General, and Class A war criminal. In Harbin and other places, which belonged to Manchukuo at that time, bacterial infection and anatomical biochemical experiments were carried out on living people. During the trial in Tokyo, he was exempted from prosecution on the condition that he provided human test data to the US military and escaped trial in a war court. However, fate did not let him go. In 1959, Shiro Ishii died of laryngeal cancer in Tokyo, and the Ishii family was completely defeated with Shiro Ishii's death. The one who intended to separate Northeast China: Tada Jun, former commander of the North China Front Army. The "Tada Statement" was issued at the end of September 1935, aiming to separate Northeast China and was strongly condemned by world public opinion. In 1945, Tada Jun was detained as a Class A war criminal and held in Chaoya Prison. Five-star General MacArthur of the U.S. Army put forward the opinion of "acquitting Toshizo Nishio and Tada Tada" at a meeting of Attorney General Keenan, Director Weber, heads of military delegations and heads of legal delegations from 11 countries. Although opposed by the China delegation, the Soviet delegation, etc., Tada Tada has not yet been brought to the Tokyo court. However, on the eve of the execution of his allies Kenji Toiwara and Seishiro Iwaki, he died of gastric cancer in Chaoya Prison. Militarism fanatic: Shinsaburo Shinsaki Shinsaburo Shinsaki, former Army Education Director and Army Lieutenant General. Because he belonged to the pre-war Huangdao faction and was a figure excluded by the ruling faction, he was the first army general imprisoned by the domestic regime. Because he actively cooperated with the Allied General Command in investigation and evidence collection, he was able to be removed from the list of Class A war criminals. However, his fanaticism for militarism and his obsession with the idea of loyalty to the king ultimately made him nailed to the shame of history and became a typical image of Japanese officers at that time. After his release, Shinsaburo Shinsaki has been recuperating at home. On August 31, 1956, Shinsaki, who was in his hospital bed, suddenly said: I will die at three o'clock this afternoon. Sure enough, at 3:18 pm that day, 80-year-old Mansaki stopped breathing. Opponents of the Potsdam Declaration: Abe Yuanki, Minister of Police of the Special Higher Division of the National Police Department, Director of the National Police Department, and Director of the National Police Department.

Nobusuke Kishi formed a cabinet twice in 1957 and 1958 and served as Prime Minister for more than three years. He was one of the Class-A war criminals in World War II. He was also the first Japanese politician to be hostile to New China after World War II. Won the United Nations Peace Prize in August 1979. In March 1980, he served as an adviser to the Japan-China Research Association. He became a political figure who never left the center of Japan's political power during and after the war. Nobusuke Kishi's grandson is the current Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. One of the "Shikō Sanyu": Masayuki Tani, a Japanese official during the Showa period, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Japan's ambassador to the puppet government in Nanjing. Detained as a Class A war criminal. Released without charge. After his comeback in 1954, he was active in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the war, together with Ichiro Ota and Shunichi Kase, as a confidant of Shigemitsu Aki, and was known as the "Shigemitsu Sanfeather Bird." When Shigmatsu was deputy prime minister and foreign minister, he took office as ambassador to the United States and representative to the United Nations. In 1956, he served as U.S. Ambassador to China. Sinners: Koichiro Ishihara, Japanese industrialist and leader of nationalist groups. With the outbreak of the September 18th Incident in September 1931, Ishihara realized that Japan had a good opportunity to "advance southward", so he vigorously advocated that "Asia is the Asia of Asians" and became a theorist of the southward advance, and instilled such thoughts into the Japanese people. Ishihara provided a large amount of financial support to Lieutenant Anxiu Kurihara in the February 26 Incident in 1936 and was arrested as the chief offender of the rebellion. In 1945, he was accused of being a Class A war criminal. He was arrested and detained in Chaoya Prison on December 2, 1945, but was later released without charge. In 1949, Ishihara was dismissed from public office by the Japanese government and re-elected as president of Ishihara Industries. After the war, Ishihara personally went to the places where militarism was promoted before the war to reflect. Pray for those who died in the war, and traveled all over Japan. In his later years, he was committed to leading the Ishihara industry to eliminate public hazards such as asthma in Yokkaichi City, and funded the development of private waste treatment technologies.

After the United States occupied Japan, the source of several secret funds in the United States was Yukio Kodama. In 1948, Yukio Kodama reached a deal with Charles Willoughby, director of the Second Department of the U.S. Army Staff in Japan. Yukio Kodama provided US$100 million to U.S. intelligence in exchange for freedom and immunity from any war crimes prosecution.

After becoming a huge fortune, he established the "Japan Shipbuilding Promotion Association" in 1962, allocating a small budget to donate to social welfare groups, gaining widespread influence in politics and a good reputation in society in one fell swoop. In 1968, Sasakawa became president of the "International Federation of Victory and Communist Parties". In December 1989, Mr. Sasakawa invested 5 billion yen to establish the "Sasakawa Japan-China Friendship Fund", which was used for free friendly exchange activities between Japan and China in political, economic, cultural, educational and other fields. In 1993, Mr. Sasakawa decided to increase this fund to 10 billion yen, becoming Japan's largest people-to-people friendship fund with China, playing a positive role in people-to-people friendly exchanges between Japan and China. In order to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the People's Day War of China and the World Anti-Fascist War, various places have launched themed activities to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. In the "Top Secret Archives of the Tokyo Trial" topic launched by Baidu Library, these war criminals who escaped trial are exposed in the form of "Wanted for Class A War Criminals Who Escaped Trial", in order to let more people understand the war criminals who committed serious crimes in the war and their outcomes, and keep this history in mind.
