Schattensprache

1945, February 14

*Supriyadi led the PETA rebellion in Blitar

He saw how the Japanese forced farmers to hand over all the rice they had, even though they were running out of food, down to sewing tree barks into clothes, dying as romusyas, etc.

He hated the Japanese so much he decided to go ahead with his rebellion.
