If anything, can we appreciate the fact that those two old Japanese guys were able to survive in the wild for 60 years?
no, they murdered locals AFTER the war
On the other hand, what about those who retreated into the jungle after August 1945, never surrendering and die never knowing or believing ww2 has ended. There are tons of islands and dense jungle in the region anyway.
That's assuming the story is true, and it's completely unverified. The guys who survived there for 30 years are incredibly impressive though
Idk how but old Japanese people just have a way of living that means that if that story was true, they'd be the kind of people who'd have survived until now
Considering homo sapient could survive in the wild since forever. It’s not that surprising. Plus military men are built different from your average UA-cam enjoyer.

No shit, Sherlock
To give you an idea on how paranoid Hiroo Onoda was. In his book he states the Japanese search parties sent his brother to the island, who he noticed but could not get close enough to see his face. Before leaving his brother sang a song from their childhood, this almost convinced Hiroo Onoda that this was actually his brother. Unfortunately his brothers voice cracked at the end of the song, meaning Hiroo thought "the imposter revealed his real voice at the end". So basically, Hiroo Onoda thought his actual brother was an imposter of his brother because of a voice crack.
Saying they are still "fighting today" is a bit of a stretch. I thought there was some obscure nation still engulfed in a war started by wwii
Actually Japam and Russia are still in ww2
They have signed a non-aggression pact and still today they cannot agree on the peace terms
If you’re in the jungle for 60 years, you’re hiding from the war, not fighting it.
And I don’t blame them a bit.

It would have been instructive to have included these returning warriors' reactions to modern Japanese society. Onoda, for one, had some bitter words on the subject. For these soldiers were abundantly supplied with what Nietzsche called "those foursquare virtues that cause us to hold our grandfathers in honor -- and at arm's length!"

Those Japanese soilders were downright sadistic. Look up The Nanking Massacre. In just one incident. Two Japanese officers held a contest. To see who could behead 100 civilians first.

Great videos! Nice ☝🏽
Wow this is an interesting video. Although Japan was our enemy during the war I cant help but admire the absolute dedication and fortitude of these men. Harder than nails for sure. My grandfather used to tell me stories about the war. Him and all his brothers volunteered. All but one came home. I cant imagine how they came home and went on about their lives and maintained as well as they did. The things they did and saw and survived. It would break most from my generation and later I believe. They really were the greatest generation. My grandfather went on to serve in Korea, and was still in the military when Vietnam started however he didnt serve in the war itself. He finally retired. He was among the last class of enlisted aviators before they required pilots to be commissioned officers. He was at some point a machine gunner where he got a purple heart from a bullet that came through and grazed the side of his head and I know he served with crews on B24s and B17s. He served in the navy and later the air force. I know he also was part of another squadron but I'm not sure what the aircraft was. Truly amazing men and women from those days. Much respect.
I guess. But that kind of stubbornness tends to be more of a hazard for Japan than anything else.
It's more like being brainwashed than dedication imho
@@hil449 I can respect your opinion. Sure is possible.
My grandfather was a WW1 veteran and was captured by the Japanese in the Philippines in the opening stages of the United States involvement. To imagine the sweet old man I knew enduring what I know he must have endured boggles my mind.
Doesn't this starkly reveal that "absolute dedication" is a vice, though?
Best line ever: "a European with a nervous arm twitch" (paraphrasing)
Mine furher!

14:40 FINELY!! I see so many videos about Japanese solders hiding in the jungles and forests yet I have almost never seen his story unless I look for it. I lived on Guam for 10 years and saw the museum that kept a lot of his stuff. It also had other war vehicles. To it was a nice drive through hundreds of bamboo which where enormous

Interesting. Do you have a link with more info.
I know this happened, because I saw it happen to Steve Austin, a former astronaut who in the 1970's parachuted from his damaged plane onto a remote pacific island occupied by a Japanese soldier, still fighting.
I did NOT know that so many Japanese soldiers fought with American M1 Garand rifles, or that American B-29 crews carried Japanese Nambu pistols. Must have been an exchange program going on in secret.
If this topic fascinstes y'all absolutely need to pick up a copy of "My Thirty Year War". It's by a man by the name of Hiroo Onada who stayed fighting in the jungle far, far after the war had ended and the world had moved on. Just an incredible story.
