>>51933291Jap soldiers who refused to return home after the surrender helped the Indos fight for their independence from the Dutch who decided to return and reclaim the territory after the Japs had fermented rebellion and a sense of independence in the populace with spies and agitators before the outbreak of ww2. There's a huge cemetery for them.
Kek the indos can thank the nips for chasing the white man out of SEA because they sure as shit weren't going to even try to do it themselves.
Still, the nips in typically cruel bugman fashion performed biological warfare experiments on some laborers there amongst all the other shit that went on during that time.
Contrariwise after the japs going their shit moving again Indo was one of their first ports of call to set up massive infrastructure and training for the population, helpjg build the local economy.
As you can imagine the view of the japs there would be a mixed, conflicted bag.
