#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.
