Description
Miyamoto describes learning about the War's end while in Italy when a military aircraft dropped leaflets on his Jeep convoy. He then recounts searching and dispossessing the many German Prisoners of War and waiting for a long time to leave Europe for the U.S. Mainland. When he returns to California, he rejoined the Cortez Growers' Association as a manager of a farm that grew peaches, grapes, and almonds. The interview concludes with a description of his wife and children before sharing final thoughts about the Nisei participation in the Second World War
