Description
While their parents and families were still confined in internment camps, Niseis liberated villages all over Europe. The famous all-Nisei Combat Infantry 100/442d Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated group, and faced the highest casualty rate. In addition, 6000 Niseis served in the M.I.S. (Military Intelligence Service), greatly risking their lives because they looked like the enemy they were fighting. They were able to use their Japanese language skills as weapons in the fight for victory in the Pacific.
