The Soldiers STILL Fighting After WW2 Ended Into The 1950s 

Since surrender is Disrespecting your fighting spirit and dishonor your emperor

So they were the og taliban?

I@@alejandroguevara2212 indeed

@@alejandroguevara2212 this kind of behavior goes back thousands of years before the Taliban existed Ever since war has existed, there’s always been soldiers who fight to the death even to a suicidal degree.

They were just rogue soldiers who often committed theft or armed robbery against local population. Sometimes they fought with local police sent to arrest them. They were menaces, rather than heroes.

2 other US involved conflicts in the pacific started and ended by the time they surrendered lol That's interesting and sad as well

there were some Japanese holdouts that fought in some of the pacific wars

@@saccorhytus”WTF they are coming from all sides !!!!”

@@lo0nyt0onz More sad than interesting, wtf is with the US involvement in those years after the war. Complete waste of resources and lives

fun fact: they turned what used to be his hiding grounds into a sort of tourist attraction called "onoda trails"

that one japanese soldier - who was it?

Must’ve pissed off the local residents when he was pardoned by the president of the Philippines at the times, Ferdinand Marcos, upon being found and going back to Japan despite killing some of their friends and family who were unlucky enough to cross paths with him when he went out to hunt or steal food and supplies.

His name was Hiroo Onoda. He didnt surrender until 1974.

Yep, i caught that too

I noticed too. Even position of the beach is spot on too! And the Japanese soldier arm movements before going out with a bang unfortunately taking the medics with him

great show

Weren't some of them who joined Ho Chi Min became command officers of Viet Minh and helped engineered the Siege of Dien Bien Fu? And if some joined Indonesian rebels, now I can see why they flew leftover Hayabusa fighters and Betty bombers against Dutch garrisons. How many Japanese soldiers took part in Malaya Emergency?

@@thanakonpraepanich4284 Then I'll take some known Japanese personnel as an example: Major Sei Igawa and Takuo Ishii volunteered as part of Viet Minh staff officer and commander. They were killed in action while fought against the French. Navy Lieutenant Hideo Horiguchi volunteered as part of Indonesian volunteer Army Lieutenant Colonel. He was captured by Dutch soldiers and his wounds were treated by them. As for the Malayan Emergency, it is known that at least 200-400 former IJA troops fought in the war.

​@@thanakonpraepanich4284 there are 3000 Japanese soldier joined in Revolution war of Indonesia. Half left only after the war. They are grouped in PGI (Pasukan Gerilya Istimewa) or Especial Guerilla Forces under Indonesian National Army

I swear I remember reading somehere that the largest one was an army based in china that got cut off as the war ended. Like 10K strong for a tad but idk I can’t find any info on it not.

@@fadhillaramadhan2327 pertanyaan? Berapa banyak dari mereka yang selamat sesudah perang usai? Konon katanya banyak sekali yang tewas dan cuma beberapa (sekitar dibawah 100 orang) yang selamat usai perang.

Yeah I remember the Japanese sailor who didn’t know the war is over.

Me too

You're old, I learned this by watching "The Six Million Dollar Man"

She could have become a queen by telling them “if you want me then you do what I say or I will kill myself” or something like that. 😂 But yeah absolutely it’s sad

Yeah that's bs what happened to her. So unjust

​@@stargazer-eliteyeah she's a Japanese High Value Queen back when most women where trustworthy

I knew that story 3 years ago like in 2021

Did they believe that Japan surrender

@@EternalEmperorofZakuul Probably not. They are stuck on the island with no contact with the outside world. The Japanese wouldn't listen to any Allied news of surrender, declaring it propaganda. Surrendering went against their orders. I would bring this up that, my Grandfather would eventually be stationed in Japan itself and would meet, and marry, a Japanese woman. They would spend the rest of their lives together. Grandma served in the Japanese Red Cross during the war. She witnessed the Doolittle Raid and was sent to Singapore in 1943, and spent the rest of the war there. Around the same time Grandpa captured the holdouts, Grandma was a POW in Malaya at the hands of the Aussies and British, who she considered gentlemen. Grandma told stories of how the sentries would salute her, as nurses are regarded as officers-even though Grandma was civilian. The British officers would hold the doors open to her, and say, "Good morning, Ms. Mogami." When it came to her surrendering, it wasn't a problem for her and the other nurses. Possibly due to them being civilians and not military, even though they served the Imperial Japanese Army as a hospital in Singapore. When surrender was announced, Grandma and her comrades didn't try to end their lives, nor fear shame. They just accepted it. When Grandma returned home, to find a devestated Japan, Grandma wasn't angry. She wasn't upset about the atomic bombs, either. When it came the ware as a whole, Grandma would just say, "It was war." Then five minutes later she would forget about everything and say, "Let's go shopping!"

Okinawans are some of the most long-lived people in the world, so it’s entirely possible that one of them in his 90s or even 100s is still out there.

Bro pulled out the blade specialist

The Pacific is so good. I’ll never forget when my dad rented from library and brought it up north to our cabin with us back 2011-12 around that time it. Watched it every day while taking a break from Fishing. I realized damn this is a 10 hour long movie essentially ❤

Other than what’s written about him nobody today would know a thing about him.

Yeah, that was Hiro Onoda, whose story was detailed in this video

That’s the first story. After the rest of group either got killed or had surrendered, it took a Japanese reporter to convince Onoda that the war is over in the 70’s. Lt. Onoda is a Kempeitai, a political officer of Japan, the equivalent of the SS of Germany, so you can tell he’s totally fanatical about the war.

There is no honor in death.

There is honor in death and humility

It's the Ring of Honor PPV

Right the Japanese are real honorable just ask all the women and children the Japanese raped and murdered.

Don't glorify fanaticism.

Their entire cultire revolved around things like loyalty, honor, and integrity. And when you grow up being told that it's better to go down swinging then throwing in the towel, then yeah they'll go till they can't. So yes to them, there couldn't be much that was more shameful then exactly that dude.

Seeing a nuclear bomb, that's easy to say. In the 1940s, that would literally be like a dragon the size of New Zealand effortlessly breathing a fireball onto your city. You can't really fight it, and you know it, but that's literally never a threat until you see it happen. Before you see it, you aren't quick to surrender, and aren't quick to believe a city sized explosion

It was in their culture. "Admitting defeat" was a grave dishonor not only on yourself but on your family. And to the Japanese honor was everything

Yup, Lt. Onoda. The guy who found him , Norio Suzuk, was also discussed there.

Yes, the Japanese troops running tanks and warplanes manually like toys!

Hiro's story is the most famous of the stories

​@@Slenderslayer351 One story? There's another of more of them.

@@jamesedwardladislazerrudo1378 I said his is the most known out of the others

@@Slenderslayer351 Dude Japanese soldiers not only from hiding they also supported the guerrillas after world war 2.

I think those japanese soldiers were kinda dumb if they thought a war could last that long

And the Clone loyalty to the republic

lol I guess. They used suicide tactics to expand their land, and not defend it. That’s desperation and not honor. Nothing compared to the samurais.

To be fair, I don't think a lot of people like to hear or see hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians dying. Japan is a tough player in the game but really the ideology has been like that for thousands of years

But when combined with fanaticism...

And also a lack of braincells continuing a pointless fight against an enemy thats just going to give you a bunch of money and go home.

Its foolishness. Anyone can be this dogmatic, we aee just animals with a weak and predictable mind. You commending this animalistic behaviour shows your ignorance.

@@treett4268 sounds edgy ngl

Zero…

How did Germany got ahold of American 32acp back then?

@JohnFleming-sw7hn .32ACP was THE go to pistol calibre of many European countries up to WW2. Many European police used .32ACP pistols up to the 80's. The WW1 French ' Ruby ' pistols and Browning 1900s are 2 famous examples. Spain even made .32ACP revolvers

​@@JohnFleming-sw7hnDude everybody used .32 ACP, even James Bond.

Made In Japan quality

That's Hiro Onoda

Also it's Philippines not random island nation.

Random Island 😭

ONLY killed 20 people? Even if it was over the course of close to 3 decades, that was still 20 too many.

@@nowthatsjustducky they pardon him because Japan had an honor system that still kind of is going on today. The honor system they used was never surrender. He was given orders from his commanding officer that he was never to surrender so for 30 years after world war II ended he continued to believe fighting for the emperor even though the war was over. They parted him for the fact that he believed he was still fighting. There is a major psychological study done after world war II about people following orders. If somebody in a professional manner told you to shock somebody you would do it because you would believe them and you wouldn't be at fault for committing the shocking. Based off that study people no longer hated the Nazis because the German army had no part in what the Nazis did they were just following orders to round up Jews. Same thing with Japan. But now what's going on in Japan is because they lost their honor by losing world war II, they have punished their entire descendants. Japanese girls have low self-esteem so by Western standards they're gorgeous but to them they are not because of what Japan society is. Same thing with the men if you make a mistake at work they will re-educate you for 3 Days to ensure you do not screw up mistakes in Japanese culture are not okay for some reason nowadays. The only reason why I know this is because seconds from disaster did an episode of a train crash in Japan and it explained the re-education that went on

so what do you think happened to him?

Then you're a gullible fool

Marx wasnt an emperor silly... Oh, you meant the Japs.. yea they were pretty fanatical and prone to unhinged things by western standards.

Death or dishonor
