In Hollywood— Bullfighter’s Verses Labeled Not So Hot

In the close-in fighting, Johnson's Nisei men prove themselves to be fearless in the face of any danger. And imagine the surprise of a group of German soldiers when they discover themselves prisoners of the Japanese — American-born Japanese. After a series of terrific battles, the Nisei's work in Italy is through, and the 442d is transferred to France.

Johnson is assigned to the 36th Texas Division in France. A former buddy, Don Haggerty (left), makes a slurring remark about the Nisei, and Johnson is quick to remove his officer bars and punch him in the jawq The 34th moves ints battle and is soon cut off and trapped.

Haggerty and Johnson can only sit idly by while the Germans cut their outfit to ribbons Then the 442d—the Nisei—effects an almost suicidal rescue, ripping through the German ring to open an escape channel for the 36th Division. Af the end of the battle, Johnson rejoins the Nisei.
