I Interview Imperial Japanese Holdouts (Reenactors Allegedly)

Ойын-сауық

In this episode I sit down with three Imperial Japanese Army Reenactors. The IJA culture of reenacting is one I have very little knowledge on. It was a treat to have them out for the Thompson video, and I couldn't resist the chance to show them off with the kit some more!

    I was part of a huge reenactment of Iwo Jima in Doss Texas for one of the anniversaries back in the mid 2000s, they even flew in approximately 80 Japanese reenactors....those reenactors were absolute studs, speaking japanese, never out of character, etc. Great memories and we even made the Houston Chronicle. I was a corpsman in the reenactment and had an absolute blast.

    I heard from the C&Rsenal video on the type 38 that the noisy dust cover myth comes from when the American soldiers had to dump all the parts together for some reason (being used to interchangeable parts,) they reassembled them with mismatching components. This lead to the clangy dust cover myth as they were originally fitted very well to the specific gun.

    My uncle fought against the Japanese at Guadalcanal. At first the family back home only knew he was somewhere in the Pacific. Any correspondence home that mentioned where he was stationed was censored so that if the letters fell into enemy hands the enemy could not get an estimate of troop strength. Then the family noticed that his letters home were all signed with a different middle initial in his name. They put the letters in chronological order and the middle initials began to spell out G U A D A L C A N A L.

    Indonesia. Initially kept in barracks and not de-armed and still officered by their own, then used by the British and Dutch to quell initial uprisings. Then, many IJA units that had good relations with their Indonesian trainee troops purposely left their weapons and ordinance for the Indonesian freedom fighters to fight the Dutch. Several thousand IJA and IJN staid behind to train, fight, and lead Indonesian National forces. Several hundred were killed in fighting and listed as Indonesia National heroes. There is a huge monument to them in Jakarta at their national cemetery (Arlington equivalent). Many hundreds staid behind after the anti Dutch colonial war to make lives there in Indonesia. The Indonesian Navy was basically formed and encultured to a certain degree by those left behinds. Vietnamese Viet Minh forces as well had hundred of voluntary stay behinds as well fighting the colonial French. Though most of those were killed or were repatriated at some point.
