General Homma: After the surrender, in mid-September 1945, the Americans arrested Homma and extradited him to the Philippines, where he was tried by an American tribunal on 48 counts of violating international rules of war relating to the atrocities committed by troops under his command during the Bataan Death March General Yamashita: Upon his surrender in 1945, a true trial of the century took place. General Yamashita became the image of every Japanese soldier who had wreaked havoc on Filipinos, and the trial became a chance to claim justice and closure against Japan’s occupation. And so, Yamashita was tried for every war crime committed by his subordinates, many of which were done without his approval or knowledge. One example was the war crimes committed during the Battle of Manila when Rear Admiral Sanji Iwabuchi of the Imperial Navy ignored Yamashita’s orders to withdraw from the city without engaging in combat. Instead, Iwabuchi led the rape and pillage of Manila. Iwabuchi committed suicide after his defeat at the Battle of Manila, leaving Yamashita to take sole accountability.
