Talk:Hitoshi Imamura

External Links

The video posted here is from 1944, a period when Imamura was in NG/Solomon islands, NOT Java. (This is clear from this entry as well as other sources.) The video is of his successor as Commander of the 16th Army in Java, Lt-Gen. Kumakichi Harada reading the Koiso Promise of independence for Indonesia. That website has been informed and will presumably correct thri information (Dewobroto (talk) 05:45, 19 August 2013 (UTC))

Self imprisonment

The source for this is half missing. All it says is "Van Reybrouck, 2020, page 212." Page 212 of what? I looked up the author and it seems to be his book released in 2020 is Revolusi: Indonesia and the Birth of the Modern World but it's about Indonesia not Japan. I don't have a copy to go through to check page 212 though. If this is even the correct book mentioned in the citation. Even then the author is Dutch and it could be the release date of a different book but in the language of whoever added the citation. IRMacGuyver (talk) 08:10, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

I found a copy in English and on page 191 the paragraph is:

"When, after the war, he was condemned by an Allied tribunal to ten years’ imprisonment for war crimes committed by his subordinates, he decided the sentence was not severe enough. After his release in 1954, he had a copy of his three-tatami prison cell built in his garden. He remained there until his death in 1968. His cell can still be visited in Nirasaki today."

There is no footnote or citation. There's the tantalizing possibility that someone can visit Nirasaki and find out where (if) this prison exists. 38.34.111.84 (talk) 15:56, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
