In this episode, show host and 11th Airborne Division historian Jeremy C. Holm covers the Angels' often-overlooked involvement in the historic surrender of Japan.
This will include how the 11th Airborne was the first full Allied unit to land on Japan during their daring landings at the Atsugi airfield on August 30, 1945. The Angels then formed an Honor Guard for General Douglas MacArthur to protect the general, his family and other dignitaries before the Surrender Ceremony onboard the USS Missouri on September 2.
The Angels also guarded the departure docks used by the dignitaries and military "brass" who sailed out to the Mighty Mo floating in Tokyo Bay. You'll also learn about one 11th Airborne Paratrooper who played an incredible role in carrying the Instruments of Surrender back to Washington, DC as well as discover what it was like for these young, battle-tested Angels to walk the streets of Tokyo and raise the first American Flag over the city, all against General MacArthur's orders.
