Wedemeyer says request for seven divisions in Manchuria refused
Lt Gen Albert Wedemeyer testified that he asked for seven American divisions to safeguard Manchuria after Japan’s defeat and to seize Japanese arms for Chinese Nationalists but Gen. Douglas MacArthur refused. Wedemeyer had been U.S. commander in China and later led forces in Korea. He said the move would deter Soviet action and keep arms away from communists, but MacArthur doubted Japanese reaction and withheld the troops.
