Background

I refer to "the Okinawa war"

U.S. forces struck Okinawa Island (1945) on April 1 in 1945. The Japanese military to meet assumed it inhabitants evacuation district about the northern part of Okinawa Island including Ogimi-son, and the full-scale defense military power did not locate it. Kunigami detached force (the head: Uto Takehiko colonel) which assumed the 44th independent combined brigade second infantry arm (the head: Uto Takehiko colonel) a nucleus unfolded. I lost in a battle of Mt. eight folds of Motobu Peninsula and the Mt. Tano, and the Uto military unit shifted to guerrilla warfare on about April 25. There was the thing which continued acting in mountains after the end of the war, and 99 Uto colonel party surrendered on October 2.

Because the northern part was appointed in the Shimauchi evacuation district of inhabitants, inhabitants sheltered from the central parts of the island. When the northern part enters under U.S. forces occupation, the private citizen will live a life at camps by the instructions of U.S. forces. A camp was established in the Hitoshi Tai district of feather Chimura on April 7, and the refugees who added it, and evacuated to local inhabitants and the forced immigrant from other occupation zones were accommodated early. As for the number of the inmates of the Hitoshi Tai district camp, 64,000 people were accommodated at the time of 16,000 people, the closedown of the end of July in conjunction with Imadomari, Nakijin-son camp on 7,500 people, April 29 on April 22. 渡野喜屋 of Shioya, Ogimi-son where the case happened is located the east of this Hitoshi Tai camp. The camp of 10,000 scales was in Kijoka in Ogimi-son.

The case that the Japanese soldier who continued guerrilla warfare took food away from a private citizen was taking place [¹].
