OK, so it’s not late-breaking news. The claim is that this newsreel, which includes audio from General MacArthur, has not been shown publicly before. I don’t recall seeing it, but I have my doubts as to that claim. In any case it’s quite the historic document. History buffs will enjoy it.

I have seen a number of newsreel shots of this surrender, but do not recall seeing anything like this one, on History Channel etc.
Did you notice how gaunt poor Gen. Wainright looks?
