In this episode of the Compendium: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things, we dive deep into the enthralling story of Hiroo Onoda, the last Japanese holdout who refused to surrender long after World War II had ended. Set against the backdrop of the Philippines, this tale combines elements of folklore, guerrilla warfare, and psychological struggle.
Hiroo Onoda became a symbol of unwavering loyalty, living in hiding for nearly three decades. We explore the concept of surrender and its weighty implications through the lens of wartime psychology. So, if you've ever been intrigued by tales of guerrilla warfare in the Philippines or wondered about the Japanese soldier who refused to surrender, this episode is for you.
