Japanese surrender to Allied forces
On Sept. 2, 1945, General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Allied Commander, opened ceremonies for the formal surrender of the Japanese aboard the USS Missouri anchored in Tokyo Bay. The ceremonies lasted for a half-hour and included such indelible images as the Japanese delegation led by Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu wearing a top hat and General Yoshijiro Umezu, Chief of the Army General Staff. Hundreds of crewmen aboard the Missouri watched the proceedings and the formal signing of the surrender documents.
