Japanese Surrender Onboard Ship
Excellent coverage of the Japanese surrender on the USS Missouri. Sailors cram the ship's decks. Japanese diplomats stand at attention in archaic formal clothing. MacArthur gravely strides on deck, walks up to microphone. Japanese foreign minister signs papers at a table. Other shots show MacArthur in occupied Japan, Japanese children waving American and Japanese flags. Quick shot of Emperor's palace with stone bridge in the foreground.
