World War II, the last Japanese soldier finally surrendered in 1974

The last fighting soldier surrenders almost thirty years after the conflict ends, there’s something awfully strange about the whole situation.
This is what happened to Teruo Nakamura, an indigenous Taiwanese soldier that joined the Japanese military at the beginning of the war. He assumed the war was still raging on while his unit fled into a jungle in Indonesia. He survived on his own, foraging for whatever food he could until he was finally found in December 1974.
after thirty years, it's epic. He's going to be my hero :)
