Owen Cunningham papers
Collection
0007-GWP
Owen Cunningham was one of several Americans who served as defense attorneys for Class A Japanese war criminals tried in the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. The defendants were also represented by Japanese attorneys. The collection is comprised of legal documents related to the trial of General Hiroshi Oshima (Japanese Ambassador to Germany, 1938-1939 and 1941-1945) and also includes notes, articles, correspondence, and portions of a manuscript that appears to have been written by Cunningham.

It is unclear when the Owen Cunningham papers were deposited at the University of Maryland or who was the donor. The only certainty is that they have been in the Gordon W. Prange collection since at least 2009.
