Summary

He emerged from the thick jungle for the first time in a long time. He had been waiting for this moment for years. The day World War II would come to an end. He would be relieved from his duties and Japan glorious in their victory! Onoda held his breath while his commander read his release. Onoda waited for further orders but there were none. Just a tub of face cream. “What’s this for?” - asked Onoda. “You’re going to need it. For all the interviews… Onoda, the war ended 29 years ago. We’ve been looking for you. The world will want to know what on earth did you do in the jungle for the past 29 years? How did you even survive? And how many did you kill?” Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
