The Embassy of Japan will only receive the actual items at this stage of the process and only if the item has been traced back to its origin. You will then be asked to send or bring the artifact(s) to the Embassy of Japan.

Complete details, including how and where the item was recovered, are crucial to the success of the investigation and should therefore be described in full on the REQUEST FORM. Any identifying markings should be enlarged and clearly legible. Email, mail, or fax the completed REQUEST FORM to the Embassy of Japan in DC along with photos or photocopies of the artifact.As stated in number 3 below, please do not send the articles to the Embassy before the investigation is completed. The procedure for the return of such artifacts is as follows. The Government of Japan would greatly appreciate your cooperation in refraining from the sale or purchase of such articles. Please be aware that the online auction or sale of WWII artifacts (especially on articles on which the names of the war dead are clearly visible) would deeply offend the feelings of the war bereaved. To facilitate the return of these artifacts the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of the Government of Japan will attempt to locate the original bearer of a WWII artifact or surviving kin of the original bearer provided the party requesting the investigation agrees to tender the item to the Embassy of Japan without demand for compensation, if and when the search is successfully completed. That is why we are promoting the return of those artifacts.

For example the Ottoman Empire can be found in the Atlas of Turkey.The Government of Japan recognizes that the original owners (or their family) would greatly appreciate the return of articles lost during World War II. The maps of former countries that are more or less continued by a present-day country or had a territory included in only one or two countries are included in the atlas of the present-day country.See the content for the entities concerned. The status of various entities is disputed.Historical maps are included in the continent, country and dependency entries.The same goes for the texts in the history sections. This video shows the front lines of the European Theatre of WWII, every day, from the invasion of Poland on 1 September, 1939 to Germany's surrender and fall. For sources of the introduction see therefore the Wikipedia entries linked to. The text of the introduction(s) is based on the content of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. If other languages are native and/or official in an entity, introductions in other languages are added in separate sections. Every entry has an introduction section in English.That page contains links to entries by country, continent and by topic as well as general notes and references.

The main page is therefore the portal to maps and cartography on Wikimedia. The WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Atlas of the World is an organized and commented collection of geographical, political and historical maps available at Wikimedia Commons.
