Description

Nakamura continues his recollection of his time visiting Hiroshima and how the Japanese there were very welcoming to him. Next, he speaks about his discharge from the Army and staying in Tokyo to work as a civilian. He first joined the Civil Censorship Detachment (CCD) looking through Japanese mail and censoring anything that was troublesome to the military occupation. After a few months there, he was reassigned to audit government correspondences, once again looking through letters to make sure there wasn't any troublesome information being passed through. Next, he speaks about reforms, occupation of Japan and the reason the occupation was so successful.
