Notes on Imperial Japanese Army Documents
IJA documents taken on the field of battle were collected by or for the Allied Translator and Interpreter Section (ATIS), who evaluated all such documents, translating and publishing those of immediate value. After the war, the ATIS compiled historical records and debriefed numerous IJA and IJN officers about their roles in the war. These documents were published by the ATIS, and are filed at the Center of Military History in Washington, DC.
IJA histories and reports were also compiled after the war by the 1st and 2nd Demobilization Bureaus. These units were staffed by former IJA and IJN officers and Imperial General Headquarters personnel operating under the direction of G-2, US Army Far East Command.
Further documents are included among the transcriptions and exhibits from the war crimes trials held by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo, but by the United States Military Commission in Manila. These records were originally in the custody of the Judge Advocate General but were later transferred to the Departmental Records Branch of the Advocate General’s Office.
Bill Yenne is the author of more than three dozen non-fiction books, including The White Rose of Stalingrad: The Real-Life Adventure of Lidiya Vladimirovna Litvyak, the Highest Scoring Female Air Ace of All Time (Osprey 2013). His other works have included many military histories, as well as several military biographies, and he has contributed to encyclopedias of both world wars. General Wesley Clark, the former Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, called his recent biography of Alexander the Great, the “best yet.” The New Yorker wrote of Sitting Bull, Yenne’s biography of the great Lakota leader, that it “excels as a study in leadership.” His dual biography of Dick Bong and Tommy McGuire, Aces High: The Heroic Story of the Two Top-Scoring American Aces of World War II, was described by pilot and best-selling author Dan Roam as “the greatest flying story of all time.”
He has also appeared in several documentaries broadcast on the History Channel, the National Geographic Channel, and ARD German Television. He lives in San Francisco, and on the web at www.BillYenne.com
