<b>270. [JAPANESE WAR CRIMINALS]</b>
<hr align=left size=5 width=33% color=#778899>Vintage collection of five wire service photographs, with typed copy, of Japanese military leaders convicted of war crimes at the end of World War II. Unsigned. Included are two International News photos “<i>sneaked out of Manila newspaper before Japs could destroy them.</i>..” One pictures “<i>President Laurel, the Filipine ‘Quisling,’ shaking hands with General Waji</i>”; and “<i>Tojo, listing to the port side because of the weight of 6 rows of campaign ribbons</i>,” saluting an honor guard as he and other Japanese military leaders arrive at Manila on May 5, 1945. Photo evidences scattered abrasions. Both have been trimmed for newspaper layout. Also an image of blood-spattered Tojo slumped in a chair immediately after he attempted suicide as Allied officers look on. Japanese defendants are pictured aboard a bus with MPs in transit during the War Crimes trials; and seated during the trial with military guards. Accompanying wire service copy identifies each one and the sentence meted out to him by the court. Photo displays binder holes at top edge; paper clip impression; scattered light scoring and wear. All have mounting glue on verso. All are in good condition with noted exceptions.
