Tojo Hideki's will Tojo Hideki who was an execution person in charge of Greater East Asian War foresees that it'll be a death penalty by Tokyo Tribunal of War Criminals and leaves several wills. The style is the one in aromatic at that time, but it's something unfortunately which is difficult for present-day people to read. Therefore I'm sorry for late Tojo Hideki, but a free translation is done and offered here so that even today may be easy to read.
<<I tell a various countries person of England and America.>> you're a winner already. My 邦 is a loser. This serious fact, I, originally, this, it's admitted, they aren't hesitant. But your victory is a victory by the power and isn't a victory by Shori highway. There is no time when I'm coming here in you and am enumerating fact now. But if you observe a recent historical change with a frank and fair look, is there something which passes the concerned middle? That willful RE overran Shori highway because I had poor ability freely, 痛嘆, just. Even if however necessary the war be when the means aren't chosen, when atrocity is too cruel to that I went, anyway I have to say to slaughter tens of thousands of people of men and women of all ages of innocence or hundreds of thousands of people at a stroke using an atomic bomb.
If there are no cases that miscellaneous conduct is finished at the end, the world, third, fourth, fifth, such as, to stop causes the world war and when there are no things which make the mankind come to extinction, would disappear.
You, the means or easy grave serious reflection, think back to yourself, and make an effort toward an avenue in a universe so that there are no ashamed things.
<<The Japanese brother people, you>> it's grouper now, 承詔必謹, [Tomo note: Whatever there is, an Imperial edict in the end of the war is caught importantly.], just. I don't have the word to say to which I say everything, too.
It's they provoked Greater East Asian War, and that it has just passed since I received inevitably for state survival and national self-defense. This process is as special mention is written of in an Imperial proclamation of a declaration of war on December 8th in 1941 and is obvious like a blaze in the sun. Therefore it's as there is a person who also affirms this in his national man that I'm in his country, not that the person in charge is in our country when an opinion of the world tries to cross-examine a war responsibility person. Our country made it unfortunate, and was defeated by his country because I was incapable but Shori public debate is that it can't be changed that there is our country solemnly.
Since making the strength of the power the standard of the right and wrong of right and wrong, it's bad by all means. When it's a lot, a person wins the Providence, and when heaven is decided, it's a law of God to defeat a person. You have the confidence which are large country people in you, and could you keep waiting for the day when heaven is decided? Japan is a divine land. A state of eternal immortality. A divine spirit of ancestor of the Emperor 皇宗 also illuminates us awesomely, and you're seeing.
That you don't wait at the sun 復明 devotion is convinced of fate in an empire without stupor's being disappointed without BA's where a wish springs becoming desperate, and conquers this grave difficulty by making an effort, and one at the sun 復明 leaks, and to come.
<<A Japanese youth tells you. >> <<A Japanese youth, you>> my Japan is a divine land. You're over individual's head freely for this national last hope. You do 隠忍 prudence of me, and with neglecting no kind of efforts, I keep intention, build a liver up, hope to handle the present situation and don't suffer.
I make the empire unfortunate at present and fall into the bottom of grief. I don't cast a doubt about but this is a problem of the more or less of the power and the strength, and a justice highway's being consistent and being in our country always at all.
Millions of brothers died for a state for this war, but their British soul Takeshi soul [Tomo note: Beautiful and strong spirit] will be that it'll be this state guarding certainly eternally. A single-minded person of patriotic martyrdom has never died for nothing. You and NE GAWAKU, when, Japan has confidence tightly with a Japanese race barrel confidence, and runs after senior 遺旨 loyal and brave heroism will be again with a lead of national history since 3000, it leaks, and, 皇運, that I don't assist in playing a role forever. This is my last wish truly. I think, a soldier won't have few persons who stand on ceremony, flatter the world, flatter strange logic and heresy and follow blindly from now on, and it would occur. But could you stick to one's true value of a Japanese boy in you?
What is one's true value? Japanese spirit of loyalty and patriotism. Only this.
