The Soldier Who Didn’t Know WW2 Ended

Back in 1974, a Japanese college dropout called Norio Suzuki heard a rumour. Apparently, on a lone island in the Philippines, far out in the dense jungle, was a Japanese soldier – a lieutenant no less - who’d been there since the end of World War 2, that’s almost 29 years at this point - refusing to surrender! Initially, Norio brushed this off as a hoax – if he’d been missing for that long, he must have been declared dead! Plus, there was no way someone could survive out in the jungle for that long. However, he did some research… the lieutenant, by the name Hiroo Onoda, had been missing since the war ended in 1945 and declared dead … in 1959. That was odd – it was a suspiciously long time to wait to declare someone dead. So, he must have been seen alive at some point. And if he’d survived that long… what was to say he wasn’t still there? Inspired by this wild legend, he decided to take matters into his own hands, and embarked on a daring adventure to find the lost soldier and bring him home! But it wouldn’t be that easy… not by a long shot. So, get ready, because we’re about to take one heck of a deep dive into the story of a man who fought for nearly 29 years after World War 2 had ended.
