Japans Surrender 1945

Japans surrender to Allied Forces

 

Representatives of Japan including Japanese foreign affairs minister Mamoru Shigemitsu stand aboard the USS Missouri prior to the signing of the Instrument of Surrender September 2nd 1945.

 

I’m certain this is a press shot and not just a random shot from one of the sailors. Either way, I’m happy it’s found its way into my collection.
