- Including - First meeting of Allied War Crimes Commission at the Law Courts - Lord Wright in the chair. (Contrast is made between the orderly proceedings of the AWCC to the scenes in Milan where mob rule took over and Mussolini, his mistress and accomplices were murdered and their bodies strung up to a petrol station roof). Vidkun Quisling goes on trial in Oslo. William Joyce (Haw-Haw) and wife in captivity. Midget submarines and human torpedoes at Copenhagen. Fire bombs as used on Tokyo. Filled with jellied petrol it burns at 3 thousand degrees Fahrenheit. At sea off Okinawa American navy ships send up heavy anti-aircraft barrage against Jap "suicide-planes".
