Why should Tanaka be a witness in the trial?

1, save your life In fact, Tanaka was one of the chief culprits of the Japanese war. However, after World War II, Tanaka reached a deal with MacArthur and others, and the United States guaranteed Tanaka's safety, while Tanaka was a "tainted witness" to vindicate Japanese war criminals, including Wu Tengzhang.

2, political transactions In fact, Tanaka was at odds with Tojo and others in the later period, and several factions contradicted each other. In order to achieve revenge on Tojo's cabinet, Tanaka promised Americans to be witnesses.

3. Royalists said that in fact, in order to protect the Japanese Mikado system, Tanaka and some other lawmakers began to consider taking Tojo as a scapegoat and correcting those original "friends" by changing their identities, thus diverting the attention of the international community and pushing the war crimes to the cabinet, thus ensuring the safety of the royal family.

It can be said that Tanaka was a real politician, and he adopted a vacillating policy, which made him hold important positions many times later ... and was called "Judas of Japan".
