The Brutal End of 3 Japanese War Criminals in Shanghai | REAL FOOTAGE

The Brutal End of 3 Japanese War Criminals in Shanghai | REAL FOOTAGE On April 22, 1946, inside Shanghai’s former racecourse, three Japanese war criminals were hanged before Allied witnesses and a U.S. Army camera. This real, uncut footage captures the executions of Major General Masadica Kabaraji, Sergeant Major Kiomi Kawawaii, and Corporal Yasaburro Shurikawa—the men directly responsible for the sham trial and murder of captured American airmen from the Doolittle Raid. Through rare historical film, the video traces the entire chain: the 1942 bombing of Tokyo, the kangaroo court near Hankou, the Kempeitai investigation, and the landmark Shanghai War Crimes Tribunal that ruled “following orders” is no defence. A sober documentary record of one of the first Allied war crimes trials of the Pacific War, and a turning point in how the world holds individuals accountable for atrocities. #WWII #History #Documentary #TrueCrime #WarCrimes #MilitaryHistory #Justice #VintageFootage #WarHistory #DoolittleRaid #Shanghai1946 #HiddenHistory
