Just curious

Many of those Japanese deserters became trainers to help Viet Minh in the war against the French, not against the American. They started to return to Japan when Vietnam became 2 nations. Yes I just saw an article, " The contribution of our new VietNam citizens, the Japaneses, in the war against the French"
Thank you for sharing your curiosity:)))
