When talking about Japan's WW2 surrender Robert Powell states "it took weeks for the news to reach isolated troops,some Japanese soldiers would remain hidden in the jungle for more than 30 years". How true is this statement? Do we know how the troops felt & adapted to normality when they resurfaced?
