[Eric in the Ozarks]

We lived in Japan in the 1950s...
Our maid, Masako, told us when she was a child, she was forced to work in a munitions factory that had a large red cross painted on its roof. When the factory was hit by bombs in '45, some of the machinery was moved into caves where production resumed. She said the militarists had no plans to surrender, even after the second atomic bomb.

If you don't mind my asking, how old were you when you lived in Japan in the '50's?
