JA145599, a 26 year old Civilian Employee from Kagoshima, was captured by an Australian Signals Unit when he was left behind during the retreat. During the interrogation, JA145599 provided information on his unit's work on constructing roads and wharves. He was a barber in the unit. He also gave information on ranks among the civilian employees. He was quite talkative and expanded on narrative on being captured, war, and his attitude towards other races and atrocities. |
