Sukotjo Tjokroatmodjo (also spelled Soekotjo) (18 December 1927 – 16 March 2017) was an Indonesian historian, civil servant and retired Major general.
[4] In 2010 Sukotjo was one of the historians doubting the influence of former Indonesian president Suharto during the 1 March 1949 offensive on Yogyakarta.
History books had claimed that Lieutenant Colonel Suharto was the instigator of the General Offensive of 1 March 1949, but Sukotjo disagreed.
Sukotjo claimed that Colonel Bambang Sugeng, the commander of the Army Division III was the main plotter.
[3] In a September 2013 interview with a Nederlandse Omroep Stichting reporter Sukotjo asked the Dutch government to acknowledge the 17 August 1945 proclamation of Indonesian Independence, as the Dutch government still only acknowledges the 17 August proclamation de facto.
