Here's what happened on September 17, 1945:

• Belsen Trial Begins The Belsen Trial commenced in Lüneburg, Germany, with Josef Kramer and 44 SS personnel facing a British military court. The defendants were charged with conspiracy to commit murder in Nazi concentration camps, marking a critical moment in post-war judicial proceedings against Nazi war criminals.
• Vidkun Quisling Sentenced to Death in Norway In a landmark post-World War II trial, Norwegian collaborator Vidkun Quisling was sentenced to death for his extensive cooperation with Nazi Germany during the German occupation of Norway. Quisling, whose name became synonymous with 'traitor' in many languages, played a significant role in facilitating the Nazi regime's control over Norway during World War II.
• US Begins Mass Repatriation of Japanese Population The United States initiated a massive repatriation effort, beginning to return approximately 7 million Japanese soldiers and civilians from formerly occupied territories back to Japan. This operation was a crucial step in post-war reconstruction and normalization of international relations in the Pacific region.
• Canada Removes War-Time Employment Controls Canada officially lifted employment controls that had been implemented during World War II, which had previously restricted job changes and mandated work in war-related industries. This marked a significant transition from a wartime to a peacetime economic structure.
