The thirteenth wooden step that counted down his last seconds
In this episode, we follow the life, career, and courtroom fate of General Tomoyuki Yamashita, tracing the decisions and evidence that shaped his trial after the Manila atrocities. The narrative asks whether holding a commander accountable without proof he knew of specific crimes can be called justice.
Person: Tomoyuki Yamashita
Date: February 23, 1946
Event: Military tribunal in Manila
Location: Manila
Casualties: 100,000 civilians in spring 1945
- He rose from a rural village in Kōchi Prefecture to graduate sixteenth of 920 from the Imperial Japanese Army Academy.
- Aligned with the Imperial Japanese faction and petitioned for leniency after the failed February 1936 coup, a choice that later sidelined him.
- Commanded the Twenty-Fifth Army in the rapid Malayan campaign and accepted Singapore’s surrender on February 15, 1942.
- Issued orders forbidding looting, rape, and arson at the campaign’s start, yet atrocities including the Alexandra Hospital killings and Sook Ching occurred during and after the fall of Singapore.
- At his Manila trial, the prosecution did not allege he ordered atrocities, and key evidence showing another officer disobeyed his explicit orders was excluded.
