Appology, a little off subject. These are POW pictures out of Hoten Camp, Japan, May 1944. If anyone can translate Japanese we can know the names. Attachments:

"The following day we met the next "star" in our cast of characters at the Nichols Field Prison Camp. He was to be named "the Wolf". He was identified by the interpreter as the "Field Superintendent" of this work detail. His jurisdiction began when the POW's departed from the school each day. We were soon to learn this man was dangerous! ...
...To the Wolf, the Angel, Cherry Blossom and the majority of our guards, we American POW's were the lowest form of life. It also became obvious these 'people' labored under a strange inferiority complex. They were small, we were large, and more importantly, we were helpless! From " Amid Th' Encircling Gloom - Corregidor and Survival" - Al McGrew with Paul Whitman |

Hey EXO/dmether....It would be comforting, to me, to know that most, if not all of these guards had their collective necks stretched after the War Crimes trials. Do you have any information of this having happened?  |
