Short title	p012579
Image title	Un homme de la Engineer Special Brigade 5th ou 6th (arc blanc sur le casque) inscrit les noms de prisonniers de la Wehrmacht. L'un d'eux très jeune est de type asiatique. En fait il s'agit d'un Coréen Yang Kyoung-Jong né à Shin Euijoo en Corée le 3 mars 1920. Enrôlé dans l'armée japonaise du Kwantung en 1938, il est capturé par l'armée soviétique à Nomohan, enrôlé de force ou non puis recapturé par les Allemands à la bataille de Kharkov en 1943 puis enfin par les Américains à Utah. Libéré d'un camp de prisonniers en Angleterre en mai 45, il part s'établir en Amérique où il mènera une vie paisible sans jamais parler de son odyssée (on le comprend !). Il y meurt e 7 avril 1992.

Simon&Schuster, 1994. "Stephen Ambrose, an executive producer on the television mini-series that was based on his work, Band of Brothers, interviewed Robert Brewer(correct spelling?), who was a member of the first platoon of 'Easy Company' of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, which parachuted near Vierville on June 6, 1944. According to this interview, on June 7, his platoon attacked and occupied a German bunker near the beach and captured four Asians in German uniform who spoke a strange language. They told him that they are Koreans and was conscripted to the Japanese army in 1938 and captured by the red army in 1939 in Nomonhan and again captured by Germans in the defense of Moscow in the winter of 1941. " Et : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2153688/Second-World-War--German-Japanese-soldier-stories-change-perception-ever.html Et : "In the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, members of E Company of the U.S. 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment dropped into and around Vierville and fought for several days with units attached to the German 709th Infantry Division and, once again, despite heavy casualties, four Koreans were captured and marched down to Utah beach. The photograph at the top was taken as one 24 year old Kyoungjong Yang was being processed as a German POW by the Americans there on the beach." extrait de: http://euroranger.wordpress.com/2009/12/07/ Et : http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/antony-beevor/book-excerpt_b_1619999.html Lire ici la légende américaine d'époque "jap in nazi uniform" http://www.flickr.com/photos/mlq/6245617155/in/photostream Vous noterez la date 21 juin ce qui peut expliquer que le prisonnier qui a été capturé à Utah le 7 juin se trouve en compagnie d'un Engineer de la zone Omaha (arc blanc sur le casque) transfert de prisonnier ou déplacement de troupes US, voir en p011594 un Engineer Omaha à Sainte Marie du Mont : http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=58897785@N00&q=p011594 Cette information aété réactivée par un article de Stéphane Jacquet dans le N°305, novembre 2012, de 39-45 Magazine, mais en fait connue depuis 2002 : http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=82819 Pour les prisonniers en uniforme allemand d'origine asiatique : Osttruppen ou Hiwis, voir les : http://www.flickr.com/photos/mlq/8186996935/in/photostream
