AI notes: On September 5, 1945, just days after Japan's formal surrender ended World War II, reports of Japanese brutality during the war began to emerge widely in the press. Eyewitness testimonies from liberated prisoners of war, civilians, and military personnel revealed horrific accounts of atrocities committed by Japanese forces, including the Bataan Death March, the Rape of Nanking, inhumane treatment in POW camps, and biological experiments by Unit 731. These revelations shocked the global public and laid the groundwork for war crimes investigations and trials, including the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal.
