History of Trommer's All-Malt Beer

[chajin]

The end of the Philippine campaign from the Japanese perspective can be seen in the 1959 film Fires On The Plain, where the remaining Japanese troops stuck in the jungle eventually resort to cannibalism in an attempt to survive.

A remake of this was released last year, but I have not seen it, so I don't know how it treats the subject from a 70-year distance.

MAJ. RADOVICH GETS 3 YEARS IN $7,000 BRIBERY

NEW YORK (UP) (Jul. 7, 1945) - Maj. Walter V. Radovich, 24, of Los Angeles, Cal., much-decorated combat flyer who shot down four Japanese planes, was convicted by an Army court-martial at Mitchel Field here, of charges that he accepted $7,000 to keep two enlisted men from being sent overseas.

The major was sentenced to dismissal from the service and three years’ imprisonment. Radovich’s counsel, former Judge Advocate Gen. Samuel Ansell, declined to call any defense witnesses on the ground that he could not offer a defense unless, he said, certain secret and confidential records were made available . He said Radovich was being sacrificed to protect other officers.
