    “To live, a man needs food, water, and a sharp mind.” ​

    –Louis Zamperini

     

    Lt. Louis Zapmerini was an Olympic long distance runner and is the central character in Laura Hillenbrad's book Unbroken, which is to be made into a motion picture by Angelina Jolie.

     

    Here are the official records of the disappearnce of Lt. Louis Zamperini and of the Class B & C Yokohama War Crimes Tribunal trials of people Zamperini complained against. Although Zamperini only provided an affidavit and did not give evidence in the trials - which would allow him to be cross-examined - his affidavit was accepted as evidence.
