Japanese Surrender Ceremonies - Japanese Insists Error Be Corrected (HD)
Ref #: BOF-26-981


This unedited footage of a portion of the Japanese surrender ceremonies shows the Japanese pointing out an error in their copy of the surrender document. The Canadian representative, Colonel Lawrence Moore Cosgrave, signed below his line instead of above it on the Japanese copy, resulting in everyone after him to sign one line below the intended one.  When the discrepancy was pointed out to General Sutherland he crossed-out the pre-printed name titles of the Allied nations and rewrote by hand the titles in their correct relative positions. This alteration was initially not acceptable to the Japanese, in order to make it so, Sutherland then initialed(as an abbreviated signature) each alteration; and the Japanese representatives did not demur further.

The surrender ceremonies took place aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay Yokohama Japan on September 2, 1945. Various scenes of planes flying over the USS Missouri. Brief image of the Unites States flag with the stars in the upper right corner. The reason being is that flags being shown on the right of an object plane, ship, or person are set to have the stars on the upper right corner. The reason for that is that it looks like it is heading into battle; as if it was attached to a pole and someone was carrying it and the wind blowing it so flag was unfurled and flying.
