The really weird but true story is how the Brits, French and Japanese all fought together in Vietnam against the Viet Minh from Sept 45 through Spring of 1946!

Yup.

And there were Allied POW’s murdered after the surrender to keep them from talking about Japanese atrocities.

I hope that you can add this tidbit to your podcast covering the end of the WWII.

Many strange happenings at the end of the war.

They didn’t realize their rightful place was under French who owned them, and actually wanted their independence. Very arrogant of the Vietnamese.
