#39 - Hiroo Onoda: The Last Man Fighting World War II

from The American Journal of Losers · host Adam McShane, Joey Bednarski & Cosmo Nomikos

Lieutenant Onoda of the Imperial Japanese army maintained an effective and deadly squadron of guerilla fighters on the Philippine island of Lubang… 29 years after his country surrendered. This week, we’re dropping planeloads of propaganda about the bizarre phenomenon of Japanese holdouts, who maintained their posts in the Pacific well after the dissolution of Imperial Japan.   Sources: Hiroo Onoda: Japanese WW2 Holdout -- Part OneLast Japanese soldier to surrender 29 years after WW2 ended | Hiroo Onoda's 1974 surrenderHiroo Onoda, Soldier Who Hid in Jungle for Decades, Dies at 91 - The New York TimesJapanese holdout - WikipediaAdam McShane, Joey Bednarski, and Cosmo Nomikos are stand up comedians based out of Chicago, IL.AJL is part of the Lincoln Lodge Podcast Network: https://www.thelincolnlodge.com/podcasts
