Japanese Soldier Stayed in Jungle to Save Face

One evening in 1972 two men, Jesus Dueñas and Manuel De Gracia, were setting up their traps for shrimps along the river of Talofofo. Then out of nowhere, they were attacked by a man that they previously assumed was a local villager. They never imagined that the man was a soldier from WWII, still hiding in the jungle and that the reason for his aggressive behavior was that he felt his life was in danger. However, they took the man out of the jungle to one of the villages nearby.
