  Welcome to 70x80, the section of 7080 .it dedicated
• 1:10
  to the deepening of the topics discussed in the
• 1:13
  articles of the portal. We are with the director
• 1:15
  Massimo Lualdi who introduces today's topic.
• 1:18
  What are we talking about today? About war. In
• 1:20
  1974, on all the newspapers of the world appeared
• 1:23
  the news of the 19th Japanese soldier, hidden
• 1:27
  in the jungle for decades, in the conviction
• 1:29
  that the Second World War was still in progress.
• 1:32
  His name was Teruo Nakamura, he was born in Taiwan
• 1:35
  in 1919, but he had Japanese origins, noble parents,
• 1:39
  and in fact for the empire he had fought in the
• 1:42
  Second World War until 1974, despite the conflict
• 1:46
  being terrible. ended in 45. Nakamura would have
• 1:49
  been the last of the so -called ghost Japanese
• 1:53
  soldiers of the Second World War. Arruolatosi
• 1:55
  in November 1943 among the volunteers of Takasako,
• 2:00
  a division composed of Taiwanese aborigines of
• 2:02
  the Japanese Imperial Army, Nakamura resided
• 2:06
  in a hotel in Indonesia shortly before the archipelago
• 2:09
  was invaded by the Allies in September 1944 after
• 2:13
  the Battle of Morotai. The soldier was declared
• 2:17
  dead in 1955, while in reality, after the conquest
• 2:21
  of the island, he had lived with others scattered
• 2:24
  until the 1950s, leaving them, however, periodically
• 2:27
  for long periods. In 1956, more than ten years
• 2:31
  after the end of the Second World War, Nakamura
• 2:33
  had left for the last time his garrison of subjects
• 2:37
  on the island and had left to build a small camp
• 2:40
  on his own. His fort consisted of a small hut
• 2:43
  inside a recinted field with barbed wire. The
• 2:46
  discovery of the Nakamura soldier's refuge was
• 2:48
  completely random. A pilot, in the summer of
• 2:51
  1974, was flying around the area and, seeing
• 2:55
  the strange hut recinted with a military style,
• 2:58
  sensed that it could be a ghost soldier. At the
• 3:01
  time, not many had been found. So, informed by
• 3:04
  the Japanese embassy in Indonesia, assistance
• 3:06
  from the Indonesian government was required to
• 3:09
  organize a research mission, which was conducted
• 3:11
  by an important Asian airline and conducted the
• 3:14
  arrest of Nakamura. by the Indonesian soldiers
• 3:17
  on December 18, 1974. The soldier was then transferred
• 3:21
  to Jakarta, where he was recovered, while the
• 3:24
  news of his return reached Japan only nine days
• 3:27
  later. Many of the socio -economic and political
• 3:32
  clashes between Taiwan and Japan on those who
• 3:34
  had to pay Nakamura the due pension for the repatriation
• 3:38
  of the military were many. Thank you to the director
