There is so much in this episode, the internet can barely contain it! First . Krysta discusses a recent trip to see 'Jesus Christ, Superstar' at Starlight Theater as well as discusses some of her favorite extinct animals including the Dodo, the Sabretooth Tiger and the Thylacine! Then we settle into this week's topic with a broad strokes and very miniscule overview of World War II and after that we discuss three men who were stationed at different places in the Pacific in the early 1940's and none of these men returned home until the 70's. From the quiet hidden life of Shoichi Yokoi as he simply tried to survive in hiding, to the war of Hiroo Onoda who refused to surrender until his commanding officer came to the Phillipinse and ordered him to surrender, to Tetsuo Nakamura, a Taiwanese Indiginous person who served in a unit of 'Volunteers' until he was lost on the Island of Morotai where he lived in a hut he built in a small fenced in field for almost twenty years. We cover their lives in wartime and afterwards in this unforgivingly historical episode of the Family Plot Podcast!
