Ex-Japanese soldiers return to Japan after Soviet detention

Former Imperial Japanese Army soldiers detained by the Soviet Union after World War II and assigned to hard labor as prisoners of war mainly in Siberia walk on Japanese soil on June 27, 1949, after arriving at Maizuru port in Kyoto Prefecture aboard the vessel Takasago Maru from Nakhodka in the Soviet Union. After the war, about 660,000 veterans and civilians returning from the Soviet Union, China and the Korean Peninsula arrived at the western Japan port through 1958.
