In 1945, the case of the vivisection of a prisoner of war aboard a B-29 by the Kyushu University School of Medicine was revealed in its entirety at the war trial. Shizuko Tsutsui, the head nurse at the time, was sentenced to five years of hard labor at the Yokohama War Crimes Tribunal on August 27, 1948, as the first female war criminal. The photo shows Tsutsui standing in court, taken in Yokohama in 1948.
