Manabu Sakamoto oral history interview, part 5 of 7, March 27, 2004

Following the end of the war, Sakamoto would get out of the camp and head back to Los Angeles, where he would get a place with his brother in Bunker Hill and start working at Columbia Records, manning the hydraulic press to make the plastic records. While doing this, he would also attend Los Angeles City College. His family would rejoin them and they would open up the flower shop once again, having some famous clients. After this, he would decide to enlist into the Army, going first to Camp Beale and then to Fort Lee. He would begin training as a quartermaster and be shipped overseas to Germany. He would arrive first in Bremerhaven, where the water was cold before going to Marburg and then Frankfurt, seeing the devastation of the people everywhere he went.
