Description
Sasano discusses his time in the Philippines, including describing Japanese Prisoners of War, Philippine citizens, a tour of airfields in North Luzon, and going to Corregidor. He also talks about his experiences in Okinawa, including working as a counterintelligence investigator, an assignment analyzing papers for military value for the war department in Washington D.C., and what it was like being there when Hiroshima was bombed. After the end of World War Two, Sasano left for Yokohama where he interrogated Germans at a naval training center, recalls experiences where Japanese citizens approached him for approval for entry to the United States Army; and later met up with his brother in Tokyo.
