Features: On May 3, 1946, at 8:42 AM, Tokyo, Japan. The former office building of the Imperial Japanese Army Ministry had transformed into the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. Judges with blue eyes and blonde hair sat sternly behind black desks, their cold and severe gazes fixed on the defendant, Tojo Hideki, who sat in the dock with sunken cheeks, pale complexion, half-closed eyes, and gold-rimmed glasses.
"Do you admit to committing the crime of starting a war?"
"This war was indeed a defensive war for Japan."
"Killing Chinese people on Chinese soil is also self-defense?"
"This Japan is like an 18-year-old youth wearing a 10-year-old child's clothes—it's too small, it needs to be expanded."
A Chinese witness stepped forward, tearing open their clothes to reveal 37 scars. Another Chinese witness came forward, a survivor of the Unit 731 human experiments, testifying to the blood and tears of their ordeal... A Korean woman stepped forward, accusing the Japanese of both physical and mental torment...
The Indictment against the 28 Class-A War Criminals of Japan contained 55 charges, and Tojo Hideki was found guilty on 54 of them. Especially when he puffed out his mustache and sneered during the trial, he infuriated all the judges and the audience.
Chinese people gritted their teeth: "Kill him!"
Americans roared: "Kill him!"
British people shrugged and waved their hands: "Kill him!"
On the night of December 22, 1948, at 11:30 PM, inside Tokyo's Nakano Prison. Tojo Hideki, with his head shaved and wearing a gray death row uniform, had a black cloth hood placed over his head as he stood on the gallows.
Thump! With a sound, the trapdoor under Tojo Hideki's feet opened, and he fell abruptly. The noose tightened instantly...
A sturdy American colonel in horse boots faced the executioner and reported crisply: "The criminal is dead!"
The whole world rejoiced!
