The Surrender Aboard Missouri-The End of WWII

This week Seth, Bill, and third amigo Jon Parshall wrap up the Pacific war with the surrender ceremony aboard the battleship USS Missouri. The conversation doesn't start there, however. The guys get into the details of the early occupation, how American troops got to Japan, how many, how often, and all the stipulations in between. Before we get to the surrender ceremony we take a fascinating look at the rescue of General Jonathan Wainwright at the hands of the OSS in Sian, Manchuria. The guys then put a bow on the war as they get into every single aspect of the surrender ceremony in this penultimate episode of Season 4. See you next season as we start all over again.
