Int'l Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE) Narrative Summaries

The following files contain POW-related information (treatment of POWs and civilian internees, camps, atrocities, regulations, etc.) culled from over 10,000 pages of the IMTFE Narrative Summaries of the Record. The Record of Proceedings of the IMTFE, it may be noted, total close to 50,000 pages, so the Narrative Summaries are very helpful in getting the essence of what was covered during the Tokyo War Crimes Trials, minus the final pages dealing with Summations, Replies and Judgments, as well as omitting the back-and-forth discussions between the prosecution and the defense and other related formalities of the proceedings. There is also a Summary of the Proceedings, however only the first part is available (through page 16,997 of the Record, consisting of 343 pages); includes interesting remarks and advice by the President. There is also a Chronological Summary, in two parts (total 380 pages), of the "oral and documentary evidence given by the Prosecution up to December 10, 1946," giving much like a story line for the whole Prosecution phase.
