HOMETOWN HISTORY
Tri-State History September, October & November 1945
By Harold Morgan
September 1945, week two: General MacArthur
made a one-mile-long military parade thru Tokyo to
show the U.S. strength; Japanese citizens stared in
silence. British, French, Russian and American military
gave a mighty parade thru Berlin to celebrate VJ Day.
U.S. troops streamed into Tokyo in great numbers.
The Spaghetti Bowl Restaurant at 218 NE Fourth
Street burned; the restaurant gave a free dinner to any
man or woman in uniform, regardless of race, throughout
the war. Tojo shot himself near his heart but survived;
he groaned “I want to die.” It was reported that
P-47s had been used to drop two napalm (jellied gasoline)
bombs per flight against Japan before the surrender
of Japan.
September 1945, week three: Due to high flood
waters of March 1945, the Dixie Manor, Gatewood
This Evansville-built P-47 is being launched from
the deck of an aircraft carrier off the coast of
Saipan Island in WWII. (Republic Aviation photo)
