Victory over Japan: The 32nd Infantry Division’s Role in WWII’s Final Chapter

Описание: V-J Day—Victory over Japan—was announced by President Harry S. Truman on August 14, 1945, marking the end of World War II. Today we commemorate 80 years since that historic moment.

Historian Mark D. Van Ells, author of “Red Arrow Across the Pacific” and professor at Queensborough Community College, takes us through the events of V-J Day and the U.S. occupation of Japan that followed.

The 32nd “Red Arrow” Infantry Division, after more than four years of relentless combat, shifted to a new mission: helping stabilize a turbulent post-war Japan.

Discover the story of Wisconsin’s legendary National Guard unit and its vital role in the WWII in “Red Arrow Across the Pacific.”
