Newsreel Footage of Japanese Surrender on September 2, 1945


I've seen shorter clips of the surrender ceremony, which aren't as complete as this one. I thought it was interesting.

  1. When in Honolulu, don't forget to include Mighty Mo [USS Missouri] in your tour of Pearl Harbor.

    The usual Pearl Harbor tour is a small boat trip over to "Battleship Row" to the Arizona memorial which is indescribable.

    But Might Mo, also located in Battleship Row, is a must and is accessed by driving across the bridge to Ford Island.

    Much of what you see in this newsreel has been preserved, and the location where the papers were signed are clearly memorialized with a marker.
