^Lot 463 Hideki Tojo

Prime Minister of Japan during most of World War II who was directly responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbor. He was later tried for war crimes, convicted, and hanged on December 23, 1948. Scarce vintage glossy 9.5 x 7.5 photo of Tojo in custody under the watchful eye of a military policeman and an unidentified civilian, signed in fountain pen. Signature fairly light, but mostly legible, scattered creases and surface marks, and lightly trimmed edges, otherwise very good condition.
