迎えにきたジープ p.000-001　The Kaji and Mitsuhashi spy cases were making a noise in 1952. I was visiting the bereaved family of Katsumi Sasaki, who was known as a liaison of the spy cases.

迎えにきたジープ p.002-003　On the morning of November 19, 1950, Katsumi Sasaki, a former Army colonel, ceased his own life while shouting his wife’s name.

迎えにきたジープ p.018-019　The Soviet Army’s aim was to arrest Japanese war criminals and to detect White-Russians and reverse spies, but more importantly, to forfeit the vast Soviet information collected by the Kwantung Army.

迎えにきたジープ p.020-021　A full order to collect Soviet information has been issued to GHQ. Therefore, GHQ’s G-2 (Information Division) was set up with a History Division and a Geography Division, and recruited former Japanese military personnel as staff.

迎えにきたジープ p.024-025　The first Phantom Corps, which swears loyalty to the Soviet Union and returns to Japan and executes its secret command, was thus found.

迎えにきたジープ p.026-027　This American, Taylor, who always has a bare pistol on his waist, was the first man to face a Soviet spy in Japan after the war.

迎えにきたジープ p.028-029　Captain Sakamoto looked for an advisor. He recruited former Major Masatsugu Shii (military school 52nd), who was a 35th Air Force staff member, returning from Siberia and living in Maizuru. This is the person later known in the Rastvorov case.

迎えにきたジープ p.038-039　The thing that I recall in Kobari’s words was a very detestable my own memory. I was in Hsinking at the end of the war, but was captured by Soviet troops at Gongzhuling.

迎えにきたジープ p.040-041　Hundreds of thousands of Japanese became Soviet military POWs. In chronic hunger, some have become Soviet spies in return for a piece of bread. They forged and informed the facts, and a tragedy occurred that forced many compatriots to die.

迎えにきたジープ p.044-045　”Why do you want to work for the Nihon Shimbun?” “First of all, I want to research the Soviet Union. Secondly, I want to study Russian.”

迎えにきたジープ p.072-073　By March 15, I was called twice and was forced to sign, but did not respond. However, seeing my subordinates fall down one after another due to extreme overwork, I finally signed the spy pledge on March 16th.

迎えにきたジープ p.074-075　Only the Soviet embassy, which was a neutral nation until the end of the war, was in a position of “wolf in sheep’s clothing”. Finally, the wolf showed its true nature by throwing away the sheep’s skin.

迎えにきたジープ p.078-079　Looking at the Soviet conspiracy against Japan, it can be seen that a consistent policy is flowing. Since the end of the war, the Soviet was anticipating many years into the future, and Rastvorov was turning Hiroshi Shoji and Nobunori Higurashi into spies.
