German in the Japanese Army
The man in the photo renounced his German citizenship and became a Japanese citizen during the war.
Photo taken at Kumagaya Flying School on July 24, 1944
Insignia next to the sergeant's rank insignia. A distinctive belt at the waist.
This is the uniform of an "apprentice officer." Since he graduated from the Army Flying School in 1944, he is a "special pilot training officer".
This was a system used in the latter stages of the war, in which only highly educated people were selected and trained to become pilots in a very short period of time.
He is wearing a pilot's uniform and was photographed in Korea.
