Hope this is ok! My relatives fought in WW2 on opposing sides. My grandfather was drafted by the Japanese and I don't speak Japanese so I doubt I could find anything about him
However I recently learned that his brother fought for the 442nd infantry regiment! Makes me very proud to know my family fought fascism when given the choice. He unfortunately had a very common last name though, so I haven't had luck finding anything about him.
Are there any resources historians can recommend for finding more in depth detail about individual soldiers? Especially WW2 and the 442nd infantry.
The NARA has published a guide to researching what your relatives did during WW2. Beyond that the 442nd is a famous military unit so a lot of the little ephemera that would normally be lost have been collected and are available to look through. UHM has a bunch of stuff related to the 442nd online and there are similar collections at various museums or in the hands of veteran's organizations. Looking through that stuff can be a bit of a needle in a haystack, but his official records will probably have some clues that will help narrow things down.
