| Content: | This is an Allied Translator and Interpreter Section (ATIS) interrogation report for JA147622, a 38 year old Korean fisherman who was captured at Hollandia on 6 May 1944 by US troops. During the interrogation, JA147622 provided information on fishing activities in the Wewak/Manokwari area, wages, Allied prisoners of war in Manila in December 1943, rumours of a fake city being constructed near Manila to divert Allied bombing attacks, and Allied attacks on Kaiyo Maru, Kagi Maru and Hokushin Maru. He claimed to have been pressed into military service and thought he might be able to learn of Japanese military matters if he was allowed to camp with Japanese prisoners of war. |
