Speaker
Pryor, Don
Date CreatedApril 12, 1945
Description
Pryor reports off the coast of Okinawa. He talks about his experiences in Simabuku and Awashi and the Japanese people he's observed. He analyzes their mental state from a variety of angles, but returns to the idea that fear is the overriding emotion for the Japanese. It is so bad for some that they were asking American forces to kill them in the tombs of their ancestors. Some still believe the Americans plan it to torture, enslave, and/or kill them. He also looks at these people's ties to Pearl Harbor.
