Contrasting The Void True, but there are very few with tested knowledge on wilderness survival and combat. Regardless of whether we'll fight in the jungles an time soon, I would've recorded all that he did to achieve his feat. That knowledge may be beneficial not only to combat troops, but also hikers and adventurers. For example, how did he manage to escape malaria, keep himself hydrated, keep his Arisaka and uniform in spanking new condition, gather food without dedicated tools, shelter building...etc. I'd imagine many would kill to acquire this knowledge. Teck King Yeah, I concur. I would've have the JSDF ask him for his knowledge and then transfer it to the US/Japan's allies.

He made it through firefights, disease, hunger, loneliness and everything you can throw at a human being. After all that he managed to reintegrate with a world he never could have pictured in 1944, REFUSED the back-pay offered to him, directing it to charity instead, married two years later, and lived to the ripe old age of 91.

The ww2 Japanese military culture and tradition were a direct decendant of the samurai bushidō code, soldiers were indeed expected to follow out orders without question and be willing to die in battle if necessary. Much like european soldiers but due to the Japanese culture Japanese soliders were much less likely to surrender in battle, during the tarawa landing only 17 japanese soldiers surrendered of over 3500 that were there during the battle.

All I can say is this man was amazing! From using bark fiber to patch holes in his uniform, to stealing tires and using the rubber for the soles of shoes, this man knew how to survive. He could of gave up early on, but stuck it out for 29 years. I remember talking to an older Japanese woman about him, and she said that the people in Japan felt 'sorry' for him. I was in shock, but I could understand why they felt that way. Sadly, he passed away a couple of years ago. Hopefully his life story can be made into a film for the masses who don't read books. That way, his story is told and remembered by those that want to give up when the going gets tough.

Wrong, for the most part US marines killed Japanese surrendered and or injured because the Japanese would routinely hide grenades and blow themselves up along with the marines who would either be corpsmen tending to a wounded Japanese solder, or normal marines escorting them as a prisoner. The Japanese killed prisoners or injured Americans because to them those who were surrendered were "dishonored" and deserved to be killed. Those who were actually taken prisoner by the Japanese were not much luckier than he ones killed. Have you read what the Japanese did to POWs? Absolutely horrifying.

His brother was in the helicopter and a public address system was rigged up in the helicopter. His brother would tell him all sorts of stories from his childhood that only a brother could know. The brother was saying that the war had ended and that they would be no shame in surrendering. Despite the fact that the brother was telling all sorts of stories from his childhood, Onoda (I think that was his name) could not figure out how American intelligence could learn about that. He thought that the American intelligence Network was so devious that it was able to procure all these stories from his childhood

Thank you so much for sharing, man. I got acquainted with Onada's amazing story because my grandfather used to have Life's Book of the Year 1974 and it mentions him. I've been studying WWII practically my whole life and I can assure you all this is one of its most astonishing stories. Thanks, again. And I just suscribed to your channel. Keep the good work.

Hayden Logston You’d be surprised. The Japanese used incredibly dirty tactics. They value honor and their goal was to essentially eliminate anything that came into their path. The more you look into their atrocities in Korea, China, and the way they treated enemies in their POW’s, the more your realize that their history has been buried compared to Germany.
@haydenlogston21644 жыл бұрын
Logan Olson I disagree don’t think their history hasn’t been buried at all. It is there and documented for anyone who wants to look.
@loganolson39684 жыл бұрын
Hayden Logston The problem is not that it was buried per say but I think it is not incentivized. Like in an American history class you won’t be taught about japan/Asia since the focus will be entirely in Europe. Which in my opinion leads to a lot of misconceptions. In Japan, most aren’t even taught about there actions before WWII other than the fact that two atomic bombs were dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Which is why you won’t ever have a Japanese politician acknowledge their atrocities in China.

I remember when these last few walked out of the jungle. One of them was interviewed and seemed to have PTSD. That one said that he knew the war was lost when he saw a huge white bomber scream over head that had no propellers. Of course it was a civilian jet airliner - probably a 747. But he had no way of knowing that. To me that was really the end of WW II. And I did feel truly sorry for him. It made me wonder how many others had died of disease or malnutrition during those years who never knew that the war had ended, still trying to do their duty to the end. War is indeed a tragedy for all involved. And World War II was the greatest tragedy that the human race has ever known.

I'm happy he got to spend the last 40 years of his life knowing a world not at war. His type of dedication is sorely missing in the world. And that pretty much includes most, if not all, facets of life. Onoda has my respect.
