Joseph Allman oral history interview, part 2 of 3, April 22, 2006

Allman continues his discussion on Pearl Harbor and his brief interactions with Japanese Americans while guarding bridges and tunnels in California. Next, he is shipped north to Alaska where he begins his stint in the Aleutian Islands, keeping watch for Japanese submarines. After a 30-day leave, Allman gets reassigned to the 208th Infantry Battalion and is shortly after moved to Camp Shelby. His discharge from the Army begins close after that, which is then followed by his re-enlistment. He briefly discusses his reactions to the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and going to China for his second term with the Army.
