Could anybody identify withfull name the Major-General Tajima, who is mentioned in the war crimes proceedings against Yamashita, and who himself was condemned as a war criminal and executed on 3rd of April 1946 according to Richard Fuller. Fuller also has him as commander of the Batan Island Garisson 1944-45.
