[songkok7hitam]

Pity pecival, eventho he was there seeing japs surrender to allied.. but the damage to the british empire in 1942 was so vast..

Long Live Japan

[mrceebees14]

Wow.

[greiteneis]

Is there a commemorative coin of the surrender out there too?

[roge9651]

Excellent.  Thank You.

[PrizeDaul]

Thank you for posting. My grandfather, David Earl Pardue, was assigned the task of orchestrating this event and escorted Halsey onto the ship. Apparently, Gen. MacArthur told him everyone should wear their fatigues because, "We beat the sons of bitches in our khakis and we'll watch them surrender in our khakis." Thank you for posting.

Was this taken with iphone4? So clear!

[ELconchesumare]

I prefer this footage silent a million times over techno background music other morons upload it with.

Ети толстяки кроме етого нечего и не делали, у них не война в Европе была а пикник какой-то. Хорошо провели время)

tigerlilly7423... your Grampa is a Hero as are all the men and women who served during the war, I'm fortunate enough to be able to go see my friend, Battleship Missouri later this week when I take my first trip to Hawaii, but rest and know, I will be honoring your grandparents friends as I mourn the many friends my grandparents also lost during the tragedy of WW-II

[LBstudios1]

Guys, victory was great but we should respect the Japanese, they fought with balls.

[xIIIAlcopwnageIIIx]

Allied powers my ass it was all America in the Pacific

[LBstudios1]

@xIIIAlcopwnageIIIx Uh, have you ever heard of the commonwealth? They did a big part too. But of course in America they infest your textbooks with "we did it all" shit.

[xIIIAlcopwnageIIIx]

@LBstudios1 lol yea it doesnt even mention the commonwealth but it did mention some stuff about Australia

[LBstudios1]

@xIIIAlcopwnageIIIx :o

[allanxbarahona]

[LBstudios1]

@allanxbarahona Hm. It was much better before the 2000's now its ugly.

[happygamestvfun1]

[LBstudios1]

@happygamestvfun1 Is it that hard to say Japanese? We are in the 2000's that event is over.

[Ninjalilboss]

United States Rules!! thumbs up if u agree!!

[happygamestvfun1]

@Ninjalilboss Which one?

[DeAztec62]

@Ninjalilboss you forget yourself, it wasn't America alone who won the war

[joefarry1]

Does anyone know the name of the ship that came alongside the Missouri? It was at 2:50 /9:42

[usnavyhistory]

@joefarry1: Unfortunately the hull number is out of focus. There is a chance it is USS Nicholas (DD-449). Several Japanese naval officers served as pilots for ships of the Third Fleet entering Tokyo Bay for the surrender. We have a presentation on our Online Library for this event, but YouTube will not allow a direct hyperlink to it here in this comment. If you do a Google search on "JAPAN CAPITULATES - Rendezvous with Japanese Pilots" it should bring you to our page on this topic.

[N0kada]

@joefarry1 It may or may not be the USS Buchanan as well. Buchanan was the destroyer that shuttled General MacArthur to and from the Missouri.

[getfitdaddy]

@joefarry1  United States Destroyer Buchanan...

[bxbuff]

@joefarry1 Could it have been the Buchannan? in this video, it mentions it coming alongside the Missouri:

"Japanese Sign Final Surrender"

[muujai]

@bxbuff USS MISSOURI,LIVE FOR EVER

[tigerlilly7423]

My Grandpa is in this film! He is on the on the end of the right row of four seamen that are waiting by the stairs.

[happygamestvfun1]

@tigerlilly7423 I was also in this film on the one on the start.

[MingTongPang54]

@tigerlilly7423 LOL stairs? we have no stairs onboard, we call it ladderwell. its military jargon (like bathroom is called a head)

[lilmaqi]

@3:20 seems like the ship is sinking.

[bolavilchki]

After watching footage of the attack on Pearl Harbor and of FDR's speech, I felt the need to watch this. My uncle was on one of the ships that accompanied the "Mighty Mo." I've never watched the actual surrender.

[Mikyz12]

Wow. In color, it takes away the sense of this war being so far away and so long ago. It brings it to the present. Thanks for sharing this amazing footage.

[densaner77]

Take That Tojo!

[RightWingIreland]

I have watched other WW2 stuff in colour and like them it makes it seem so real. The people who were so cruelly occupied by the Japs back then must of thought they would never see them surrender.

And now Japan is a great a country. All countries touched by the Americans benefit greatly.

Thanks for the post.

[Dman33]

Film note: The American flag shown was the same one that flew in 1853 on the USS Powhatan during Commodore Perry's first expedition to Japan (per Wikipedia).

[Shmoot]

I mistakenly registered the first "dislike" rating. I then refreshed the page and rated it "like", as I had originally intended. Sorry about that.

[mrceebees14]

This still burns the ass of the Japanese.

[rusbp]

Douglas MacArthur from USA.

Chester William Nimitz from USA

Bruce Fraser from UK

Kuzma Derevyanko from RUSSIA.

[usnavyhistory]

No, the original footage was silent. Music was added to this 2010 restored version, but has been removed on YouTube.

[waypasthadenough]

no sound on this?

[mkforever666]

Greatness .. Pure Greatness!...

[azdana]

Thank you to everyone that had a hand in this amazing part of history.

[ratclone]

A wonderful video! Thanks for sharing.....
