After Japan's defeat, it was listed as Japan's number one war criminal by the Allies and ranked first among the first batch of number one war criminals. On September 1945, 1 1 day, the United Army police entered tojo hideki's residence in an attempt to arrest him, but before the police entered his home, he committed suicide with a Walter automatic pistol given by Hitler. However, God did not liberate tojo hideki. The bullet penetrated his lungs, but it didn't kill him. In fact, he asked the doctor about the location of the heart and marked it. But unfortunately, because he was left-handed, he was hit and saved. Three months later, he went directly to the Nested Duck Prison in Tokyo, Japan.
The news of Hideki Tojo's suicide failure soon reached everyone's ears, and everyone took it as a joke. The Japanese allowed him to have a laparotomy instead of shooting himself like a coward. Other first-class war criminals in the prison have no contact with him, so he can only write his own confession and defense. Tojo was very arrogant on the battlefield, but very timid in court. He has been trying to escape his guilt with all kinds of lies, and he said that the cabinet allowed him to do so. Let's put it bluntly, this aggression is the liberation of China, and this struggle is only an act of self-defense. The judges of the Far East Military Court punched him and finally completed the trial in1948165438+10/2. The court sentenced him to death for war and aggression against other countries. 1948 12/22, tojo hideki, who was still dreaming, was woken up by the prison guard and had his last meal before going on the road.
Before hanging, it is necessary for war criminals to sign, but tojo hideki, who used to be arrogant, actually wrote his name trembling, and the samurai spirit disappeared. The execution place is a square house, and the length and width of the gallows are 8 feet. It's only 13 steps from the ground to the gallows. In the early morning of February 23rd, 65438+, tojo hideki covered her head and put it on the guillotine. After completing a series of preparations, tojo hideki's feet were separated and hung in the air. Later, tojo hideki's body was burned by the US military, and his ashes were scattered into the sea.
