When Emperor Hirohito decided for the Japanese to surrender after the dropping of the Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he was not a popular man.  The Japanese honor dictated that the Japanese should fight to the very last person and never give up.  Hirohito knew that the people have suffered badly and that most everyone would die if the war continued and he saw fit to end the war and end this great suffering.  The Japanese generals in charge of the armies thought differently than this.  They wanted to continue the war to the very end, to the very last man, for the honor of Japan.

 

In these rare photos, you can see the Japanese surrender delegation standing next to their Betty Bombers and then standing next to one of the American planes.  One of the Betty Bombers ran off of the runway and was damaged.  Some people think that they intentionally ran the plane off of the runway so they wouldn't have to fly it back to Japan and take the chance of getting shot down by their own pilots.  There has not been any movies that I could find that had any pictures or the story of these Japanese pilots or this pre surrender ceremonies.  However, these Japanese soldiers had a tremendously hard time making it back to Japan because the Japanese generals had ordered their fighter pilots to shoot down any of these planes bringing the surrender plans to the Americans and back to Japan.  This is the real surrender story.
