There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

What young looking German
soldiers. Probably confused as to why their Japanese
allies are fighting them.

U.S. Mainland Nisei were but most of those of Hawaiian origins were not.

I have read of a Korean man drafted into the Japanese
army fought against the Russians in Manchuria, taken prisoner conscripted into the Russian
army, taken prisoner by the Germans and THEN was taken prisoner in Normandy by US forces.
World traveler!

Wonder if he ever went back to Russia
I am sure they would have bestowed on him "Hero of The Motherland" award then tied him to a post and shot him or sent to a Gulag in Siberia even if he was a POW of the Germans he defected from his army to fight for them 2 losing sides out of three not a good lottery that one.
