Re: Interesting information on war in the Pacific
My Dad worked on Okinawa after the war on a construction project and he said after a year the bones had to be cleaned by a virgin and then put back in the tomb.
He also said hundreds of tools, trucks and equipment were bull dozed in the ocean that was left behind by the military and the Okinawains would cut aircraft drop tanks into and make small boats out of them.
Also the military made him carry a .45 side arm that he did not like to carrry because it was heavy. He left it behind alot and got yelled at alot for leaving it. They claimed after the war there were still Japanese survivors but he never saw or heard of any.
