In June 1944, a young soldier surrendered to American paratroopers in the Allied invasion of Normandy. At first his captors thought that he was Japanese, but he was in fact Korean. His name was Yang Kyoungjong.
In 1938, at the age of eighteen, Yang had been forcibly conscripted by the Japanese into their Kwantung Army in Manchuria. A year later, he was captured by the Red Army after the Battle of Khalkhin Gol and sent to a labour camp. The Soviet military authorities, at a moment of crisis in 1942, drafted him along with thousands of other prisoners into their forces. Then, early in 1943 he was taken prisoner by the German army at the Battle of Kharkov in Ukraine. In 1944, now in German uniform, he was sent to France to serve with an Ostbataillon supposedly boosting the strength of the Atlantic Wall at the base of the Cotentin Peninsula inland from Utah Beach. After time in a prison camp in Britain, he went to the United States where he said nothing of his past. He settled there and finally died in Illinois in 1992.
机翻：1944年6月，一名年轻士兵在盟军诺曼底登陆中向美国伞兵投降。起初，他的俘虏者以为他是日本人，但实际上他是韩国人，名叫杨京宗。
1938年，18岁的杨被日本人强行征召到满洲的关东军。一年后，他在哈拉尔欣戈尔战役后被红军俘虏并送往劳动营。1942年，在一个危机时刻，苏联军事当局征召了他和其他数千名囚犯加入他们的部队。然后，在1943年初，他在乌克兰的哈尔科夫战役中被德军俘虏。1944年，他穿上德军制服，被派往法国，加入一个东巴塔连，据说是为了增强科唐坦半岛底部内陆的诺曼底海滩附近的大西洋壁垒的力量。在英国的一个战俘营待了一段时间后，他去了美国，在那里他没有提及自己的过去。他定居在那里，并于1992年在伊利诺伊州去世。
