Americans Seize Japanese War Loot

The US 1st Cavalry stands guard at the Imperial Mint in Tokyo, overseeing the removal of gold, silver, and platinum worth $250 million with Japanese assistance. This wealth, held by Japanese armed forces since 1937, was largely unaccounted for. The precious metals, mainly in bullion form, are transported in trucks and tanks, transferring Japan's vast war loot into American hands.
