Important collection of 25 first-generation 3 x 4.25 in. photographs of the Japanese defendants in the Tokyo War Crimes Trials, taken at an early point in their captivity. Each photograph, likely used by the Allied occupation administration, bears an image of the alleged criminal in civilian clothing with a his name and prior rank/position in facsimile on the face. The verso of each has the defendant's name, title, biographical notes, date of arrest, and charges lodged against him. Essentially all of the Tokyo war criminals are present, including Tojo, Togo, Suzuki, Shimada, Shigemitsu, Oshima, Itagaki, etc. Also included are two original photographs, one showing Hideki Tojo standing before an American MP, the other a broad view of the Military Tribunal. WITH: a fine tribunal-related manuscript for a presentation titled 'Tojo and Company' by Provost Marshal of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East Aubrey S. Kenworthy, 38pp. 4to., summarizing many of the defendants and describing them often in a somewhat positive light. Kenworthy adds: '...some of us practically lived with these people...we got to know them as former Rulers, Statesmen, and Warriors of Japan...if I speak of them...as a good fellow I am referring only to his actions while our prisoner...' Much more content about other defendants, and including many of Kenworthy's anecdotes. These photographs have an excellent association, having originated from the files of Brigadier Gen. CHARLES S. FERRIN (1892-1976), was a highly-decorated Army brigadier general, who most notably served as the Provost Marshal of Tokyo after war's end and was charged with the security of the International Military Tribunal, Far East, during the incarceration of the Japanese war criminals. During World War II, he was an Assistant Plans Officer at Pearl Harbor and the Artillery Commander of the 27th Infantry Division which fought with distinction at Eniwetok, Saipan and Okinawa. 28 pieces.
