This year’s exhibit showed a Japanese government POW flag, Signed by Prime Minister Tojo and other top ministers of the WWII government of Japan. Obtained by a guard at the Sugamo Prison, where the Japanese officials were incarcerated after the war.
A Japanese Surrender card (often such cards were dropped from airplanes into enemy territory to encourage troops to surrender), and the Japanese government’s Order of the Golden Kite, a medal awarded for extreme bravery.
