Just to say on the entry for the 3rd about the surrender of Japanese forces in Malaya i.e.
Its been pointed out that this isn't accurarte. I posted the reference on another site where discussion of the Japanese surrender was being posted and it was pointed out to me that while it was Yamashita that surrendered to Wainwright, Yamashita hadn't been the general Wainwright surrendered to in 1942. That was General Masaharu Homma in the Philippines in 42.

September 9th 1945Soviet occupied GermanyGeorgy Zhukov ordered his troops to stop committing crimes against the German civilian population; this order would be countermanded by Joseph Stalin on 20 Sep 1945 as the order was perceived to have failed to improve discipline. FranceGeneral de Gaulle comments on Anglo-French relations and the German problem, as well as related issues, in an interview with reporters from the Times and Manchester Guardian newspapers. Canada Meat rationing is reintroduced to assure adequate exports to the UK and Europe. ChinaAt 0900 hours, the main Japanese surrender ceremony in China took place at the auditorium of the Central Military Academy in Nanjing, China. General Yasuji Okamura, Commander-in-Chief of Japanese Army's China Expeditionary Army, represented Japan; his delegation also included chief of staff of the China Expeditionary Army Asasaburo Kobayashi. General He Yingqin represented China. In pursuit of Chiang Kaishek's wishes to treat the Japanese with benevolence, the Chinese had wanted the ceremony to be taken place at a round table so that the Japanese representatives would be viewed as peers, but the American liaisons sent to Nanjing succeeded in preventing such a friendly gesture. General He was said to have apologized to Okamura, an old acquaintance at the Japanese Army Academy in the 1910s, for subjecting him to such an embarrassing arrangement forced by the Americans. As a part of the surrender agreement, Japanese troops in China were to remain in power to maintain order, to care for prisoners of war, and to guard important locations against Chinese Communists.

KoreaAmericans Vice Admiral Thomas Kinkaid and Lieutenant General John Hodge accepted the surrender of all Japanese forces in Korea in the General Government Building in Seoul, Korea. Unaware of previous Japanese-Korean agreements on the transfer of power, Hodge ordered the Japanese occupation administration to remain in place, triggering anger among Koreans. Realizing the mistake made in his ignorance, Hodge quickly rescinded his order. However, he refused to recognize any of the political organizations vying for power in Korea, solely relying on his own military administration to make decisions despite of his staff's less than perfect understanding of the political situation.
