World War II Surrender Collection

Our newest addition to our World War II Surrender Collection is this original TOP SECRET Operation Plan No 6-45 for the Commander of the Fifth Fleet dated August, 1945 hand signed by Admiral Spruance who was onboard the USS New Jersey at this time. This manual is extremely comprehensive with about 130 pages of historic information including several hand drawn maps pertaining to the Surrender of the Japanese.

Here is my grandfather Frank P. Orban, Admiral Halsey’s flagman and Coxswain driving the Japanese Delegation to the USS Missouri on September 2, 1945 for their formal Surrender.
