Geschichten aus der #Geschichte: GAG76: Holdouts – Japans vergessene Soldaten

Eine Geschichte über Yokoi #Shōichi und Onoda #Hirō
Mit dem Ende des 2. Weltkriegs ziehen sich etliche japanische Soldaten in den Dschungel oder auf Inseln zurück. Statt nach #Japan zurückzukehren, überleben einige von ihnen dort bis Mitte der 1970er Jahre – einsam und ohne jegliche medizinische Versorgung. Die letzten #Holdouts kehren erst mehr als 25 Jahre nach Kriegsende zurück. Wie ist das möglich, was waren ihre Motive und inwiefern handelt es sich um ein spezifisch japanisches Phänomen?

The decision came after McCarthy huddled #Wednesday with a mix of his supporters and his most ardent #holdouts as they clawed for any path to break the high-stakes stalemate — which has #humiliatedtheGOP on a national stage.

While an overwhelming majority of #Republicans want to elect McCarthy (Calif.) as #speaker, roughly #15 have put the outcome in serious #doubt.
