In this historical episode of In Case You Missed It, we turn back the clock 80 years to the latter days of World War II, when Taipei lay in ruins after an American air raid. Then we take a look at the bloody Battle of Okinawa, where Taiwanese conscripts fighting for the Empire of Japan first saw combat but whose story was largely forgotten after Japan's defeat.
