- Documents include stenographic records created by Sumihisa Ikeda, who was Chief of the General Planning Bureau of the Cabinet Office. He recorded proceedings of the Vice Ministerial Conference and the Supreme Council for Commanding Warfare Conference, which were both held from August 8 to 14, 1945. The documents show how tense discussions were held at the conferences on whether Japan should accept the Potsdam Declaration or the Japanese ought to prepare for an honorable death in a decisive battle.
