my dad hated the japanese w/a passion. he hated sushi,rice, saki, japanese cars, japanese everything and anything.
his best friend was in the battle of the bulge and was shot in the neck w/a MG-42. snagged an SS officers dagger and lugar after he killed him. he also hated everything german. german cars/food/anything everything german.
my dad about had heart failure when i bought my 77 datsooon 280-z!
he actually stated the "happiest day of his life was when we nuked the japs back into the stone age!" he was slated for "operation coronet". the invasion of the japanese mainland!
