Cloak and Dagger - War of Words
Manage episode 486763945 series 3603785
O.S.S. Agents Harry and Pete are tasked with dropping bombshells from their airplane near a Japanese encampment in Burma. However, instead of explosive materials, these bombshells were full of propaganda leaflets, designed by the O.S.S. to lower the morale of the Japanese soldiers. One of the leaflets read "Sons of the Rising Sun, it is better to surrender than to fight without bullets or to die of starvation". Pete says "yeah, that ought to give those lousy Japs something to think about." Pete thinks about his statement for a few seconds, then says "I'm sorry Harry, I should not have said that". Harry says "That's okay Pete, forget about it". Sometimes, the guys forgot that "Harry" was short for "Hariyoshi", Actual name was Hariyoshi Oshinabura. Although Harry thought of himself an American Japanese, Pete Bono, his partner, thought of him as a Japanese American.
