General Tojo in Shanghai – March 14 1943

Just as Hitler did a whistle stop one day tour to occupied Paris so, on 14 March 1943, General Tojo, the Japanese Prime Minister visited Shanghai – a Shanghai occupied by the Japanese (except the French Concession which was under the control of the Vichyite collabos still). He apparently conferred with the Japanese commanders of the city and pledged that the foreign concessions would be returned to China – by which he meant to the Wang Ching-wei collaborationist puppet regime. He stayed only one day and then moved on to Nanking.
