Between 10-3-1947 and 17-3-1947 the warcrime trial of Shoji Toshishige took place in Hong Kong at the British Military Courts of Hong Kong.

Shoji was held responsible, during the invasion of Hong Kong island in december 1941, for crimes against sick and wounded POWs and against medical personel. Ill treatment and killing of (about 200) British, Canadian, Chinese and Indian troops and Red Cross personel after they had been taken POW. Shoji was acquited on the grounds "no case to answer". (see:Hong Kongs War Trials Collection)

On 28-8-1947 Shoji Toshishige was flown to Singapore. To stand trial for the Australian War Crimes Section (which was established in Singapore in Dec. 1945). Shoji was charged with responsibility for atrocities committed againts Australian and other allied troops in and around Batavia (Djakarta). There are no records available of this Trial. But it is believable that in Singapore there were no witnesses of these warcrimes.

In 1948 and 1949 Shoji had to appear for the Temporaire Krijgsraad (Dutch Military Court martial) in Batavia (Djakarta) for the massacre in and around Soebang (Java) between 1st and 8th March 1942. After his company landed on 1st March at Ertan Wetan on Java. He was held responsible for the killing of about 20 patients and the medical personel (4 nurses) of the Soebang hospital, a private hospital belonging to the Pamakoekan and Tjiassemlanden in Soebang. And  in which hospital I was born about two weeks earlier,  in Febr. 1942.   Furthermore he was held responsible for the massacre of a great number of Pows at the nearby Triaterpas.

On 26-1-1949 the death penalty was demanded by the Dutch Military Court (Temporaire Krijgsraad). Shoji claimed that he had not seen any Pow's that were killed.   The Court found that a mendacious statement.

On  17-7-1949 Shoji was found guilty and received the death penalty. This was the last case of the Temporaire Krijgsraad (Military Court)

After that and in he last month's of 1949 the Dutch government left the Dutch East Indies.
