My mother worked for the Tokyo War Crimes Trials translating documents that were sent from Germany and used by the U.S. occupation to try the Japanese. I’m not sure if Mother took this picture or received it from a friend, but you can see former Prime Minister Tojo right there in the center. This was, of course, victor’s justice. U.S. military officials admit that if the U.S. had lost the war, U.S. generals would have been tried as war criminals for the fire bombs they let drop on cities across Japan killing hundreds of thousands of civilians.
