[boye3san]

"That was a queer one." love this guy and this story <3

[geekintheperimeter]

How can anyone dislike this story? Must be 3 of the japanese soldiers who did not know the war was over.

[TYUIO11111]

Japan was responsible for killing 30 million people in Asia with 20 million of them Chinese they are so cocky that they unlike the Germans who took responsibility Japan did nothing instead they hid behind the nuclear thing yes it was bad but burying children alive and using Indians as target practice is unforgivable they have to take responsibility even in their own country Ainu people face prejudice honestly such a disgustingly racist country but since their not white its all good pffft

[directHITz]

Thanks

[directHITz]

What year was this?

[CFloridaWW2Museum]

@directHITz The year was 1945 and this incident happened shortly after the war's official end.

[kicknbazz1615]

Haha So they basically flew into an active Japanese airfield? lol

[foodgarbage]

greeting from Asia to the brave American soldiers whom freed the entire Asia

[tarnsand]

This is one tough/brave man and his memories are so accurate and interesting. I agree; listening to their stories I am always extremely proud of what they did for our freedoms and came home and worked hard to raise good families. And retained their values learned in the military. They are 'the originals':)

[incaliber45]

much respect i had 7 family members who served in ww2

[JAMESLeadGuitarist]

[GokuSuzumiya]

[supdawg9999999]

glad it was resolved peacefully. wow

[judopathoftruth]

Wow.

Amazing

[samigirl22]

thank you great story.

[abc114able2]

wow if there is jap soldiers in the pacific it makes u think that there may be us soldiers still down there

[AspiringPotato]

@abc114able2

No way. Last one was 1975.

[lacrossefan2]

That's a great story

[RedDeerGhostHunters]

imagine that there are probably still Japanese soldiers in the pacific islands unaware of the end of world war two!.

[DeHerg]

@RedDeerGhostHunters nonsense! How is that supposed to work? Some solider sitting on an island making no effort to reestablish contact with his command for decades and is just gonna assume that war had gone on for all this time?

[FantasyFinal4]

@DeHerg Japan didnt have good communication equipment. But i guess i would have been a little fanatical if i was sent onto an island as a 22 year old boy. Filled with enemy troops. 30 years later without knowing anything about the fall of the Japanese empire. I can see the point from his view. The last thing i would was to re establish radio contact. Maintain radio Discipline so enemy forced coundlt find me.

[erererer2]

@RedDeerGhostHunters lol it might be a little apparent after that many years and no fighting

[derekuk2000]

unbeleivable , japanese soldiers were still hiding out years afterwards

[jumpthestump]

Growing up in their teen years during the great depression then hitting adulthood and living through World War 2, these are toughest men alive today. Love talking to them.

[chimp644]

my grand father was a russian hero.

[Luckilius]

Great story.

[USaryan]

It's always great to hear stories from WWII soldiers, they are American hero's and were truly the greatest generation. I could only hope to become 1/10 the man Lt. Col. James N. Methven is/was. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

[meronmotors]

@USaryan I always loved hearing stories from vets.So onetime Im at a friends and his dad wasa vet. Hisdad starts to tell me a story when my friend walksin.he gets upset thathis dad is teling the story.I tell him that I asked to hear the story and that Im intrested in that kind of stuf.So he walks out.Later I ask him why he got irratated that his pops wastellin me war stories. He tells me that what most people dont understand is that old men tell the same stories everynight there entire lives lol
