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 of it.

A film of the actual ceremony of the Japanese signing their surrender ending the second world war. General Douglas MacArthur was the supreme commander of our armed forces in charge of the signing ceremony.

Those guys faced terrible odds and unbelieveable conditions. To everyone who was associated in any way with WWII, my largest salute to real heros.
