| Content: | This is an Allied Translator and Interpreter Section (ATIS) interrogation report for Corporal KATÔ Kumio of the 15th Independent Engineer Regiment 3rd Company 1st Platoon, who was captured in Giruwa on 25 January 1943. KATÔ, a 29 year old Corporal from Osaka, was too weak to resist, on account of malaria and a foot wound, when he was captured by local people. Initially, KATÔ gave a false name, YAMAMOTO Kiyokazu, but later he gave his correct name. During the interrogation, KATÔ provided information on unit organisation, work of the engineering unit, and engineering equipment. A diagram of a direction-measuring instrument is included. |
