American paratroopers in Normandy in June 1944 thought they had
captured a Japanese soldier in German uniform, but he turned out to
be Korean. His name was Yang Kyoungjong.
In 1938, at the age of 18, Yang had been forcibly conscripted by
the Japanese into their army in Manchuria. A year later, he was
captured by the Red Army after the Battle of Khalkhin-Gol and sent
to a labour camp. The Soviet military authorities, at a moment of
crisis in 1942, drafted him, along with thousands of other
prisoners, into their forces.
Then, early in 1943 he was taken prisoner at the Battle of
Kharkov in Ukraine by the German army.
In 1944, now in German uniform, he was sent to France to serve
with one of the Wehrmacht’s eastern battalions made up of Soviet
prisoners to defend Normandy at the base of the Cotentin peninsula.
After time in a prison camp in Britain, he went to the United
States. Yang settled there and died in Illinois in 1992.
