My father guarded Japanese soldiers in the Philippines. He remarked that he actually was protecting them from the Phillipinos, who wanted their revenge.

My father was with 76 Squadron RAAF, at Labuan in the Phillipines, when a young Japanese teen Boy Soldier walked out of the Jungle to Surender. he was starving, and the squadron personnel did not have the heart to hand him over to the MPs. they had seen some Japanese prisoner being shot previously. so they kept him in the barracks, and made him the camp potato and Vegetable peeler. he got to keep and eat the peelings etc which he was very happy to do. he was well treated and also did the squadrons laundry at odd jobs. his original clothes were torn and tattered so they gave him spare shirts & shorts, but he still wore his Japanese army cap. when the war ended they managed to get him back into Japan. and a group took him back to his village, where his father was a 'local official' and he was so grateful that his son returned that he put on a 3 days Sake drinking party. the returning groups was so hung over that the squadron was stood down for several days.

Fuchida's complaints a objections to the occupation should be viewed in the light of how the Japanese would have treated Americans if the shoe was on the other foot. I think Americans and Japanese alike know how that would have gone. there is ample evidence from Bataan and other prisoner of war incidents.

[fazbell]

Yes, it's got to be a wake-up call for the most cruel military on the face of the earth. The Japanese STILL have not atoned for their atrocities during WW2.

I'm now hooked on this. Great stuff! I knew of Fuchida from the book "At Dawn We Slept" but not the details of his conversion. Gotta start from the beginning and hear it all.

[Oldcoots]

Thanks! Such valuable insights and summaries of history! The world should thank you.

[catsnow]

The japanese back then never knew the behavior of their military toward POW's and non-combatants had galvanized American's into holding the entire japanese population accountable...And they never realized what kind of danger the home islands were in..

[jonathanpersson]

I understand that Japan treated the prisoners they took during the Russo-Japanese war very well. Their treatment of prisoners and occupied people during WWII was a cultural change for the worse. This is so typical of fanatical ideologies.

[stephengoetsch]

This is fantastic! What a sensitive and insightful view into one man’s journey toward faith and a new life. Is there a follow-on piece? Could someone post a link to that?

I always draw great morale inspiration from these stories true or not
To keep the hating and not move on after a war is over is to only ask for a second one

A war is an argument and just like a fist fight once the argument is over it should be left alone as to dwelve in the past means you do nothing about what matters the most: the future

[johnscott]

Everyone has a right to an opinion. Personally I respect and admire reverence for God and spirituality

[erichughes]

I hate to say it but Fuchida seems like a good honest brilliant man.

[thomasrobinson]

Unlike the Japanese treatment of Allied POWs.

[southernwonder]

How can I hear the whole entire story?🐦‍⬛

[banhtec]

Is Margret Cobble real or is this fiction?

[warfarenotwarfair]

Americans are a majority Christian nation, it wouldn't sit right with us to make people suffer unnecessarily. Non-Christian regimes like the Soviets or South East Asians engage in such atrocity it's unbelievable.

[bobgehrls]

A little too religious for my taste. I really enjoy these but, bringing in a god (any god) into the dialog is a distraction at best. God didn't help the Japanese, and God didn't help the Americans, money, resolution and weapon production did.
