Allies Want Hirohito Alive
According to Capt. Bridgeman, the Japanese emperor is much more valuable to the Allies alive than dead. Because Allied generals feel that Hirohito's death would unite the Japanese, they have ordered the bombing of his palace to cease. ...
Asked if the Chinese would be able to carry much of the burden of the war he replied, "Everyone realizes that the Chinese are very tired and not unified. We must expect to bear the brunt of almost all the fighting."
"In my opinion, the Russians will get into the war," he said. He added that "Russia's interest in the Far East is naturally great and I'm sure that the Allies will receive all the material aid that she can give them and quite possibly she will contribute actual manpower."
Burma Is Greatest Victory
"The Burma campaign represents the greatest allied victory against the Japs so far," he said.
"The Burmese hate the Japs," he said. "As our army pushed the Japs back, the welcome we received from the natives was amazing and as soon as we arrived the native men were rushing to headquarters to volunteer to fight with the allies."
Captain Bridgeman owns a tea plantation in India and had spent some time there before the war. It was here that he learned to speak the native dialects and became acquainted with the country.
Before being sent to Burma he participated in the early North African campaigns and was stationed for 6 months on the Russian-Prussian front.
