My father was here as a 19 YO foot soldier, 1946. Very interesting to see what he saw as a young man. He almost married a Japanese girl. That wouldn't have gone over well at home, given the era.
Must have been quite some cultural experience for a young man at that time, in which many not even knew their neighbouring county. Join the army, see the world.
My dad was in the 8th Army in Tokyo 46-48. He was with the 720th MP BN. I have his album of pics from his time there. Great to see this time captured in these films. TY!!
Hello, I've processed this and other pieces of footage from Japan, with some assistance, regarding the US Army ranks/units. If you have questions about it, you may ask me, and I might answer, if I have time!
Ive seen you comment on a few of the periscope videos, thank you for making these older films available for future generations to view. Keep up the good work! Thank you Ivan!
Glad to see this. I was there as a child at that time. The timer bar and URL cover some things I would like to be able to see. The music is annoying but can be muted.

No, thank you. My ancestors, and naturally my sympathies, are on the losing side.

Very good file and histórical register
What is the background music used for this?
