[Milsurplus] "Ghost of Guam" interview video

[Hubert Miller]

I was looking online to learn about a 1962  movie, "No Man Is an Island", about George Tweed, the "Ghost of Guam",  U.S. Navy radioman who declined
to surrender when Guam fell to the Japanese. After the surrender grace period expired, there was no surrender; any U.S. serviceman captured from then
would be killed. Looking online for the movie, I did see some trailers, and it actually looks pretty hokey, maybe what you'd expect for 1962. But I also found
this 4-part series, apparently recorded off-air from TV broadcast in Guam.  Video and sound a bit shakey, but...this is real treasure. I had already long ago
read the account by Tweed himself, "Robinson Crusoe, U.S.N." but somehow didn't realize these videos existed. Interesting that there is opinion by some
Chamorro natives that Tweed should have surrendered at the outset. Each part 6 - 8 minutes.
George Tweed became a radio - TV repairman in Grants Pass, Oregon after the war, and unfortunately died in an car accident.
