fvWhile in the military, Watanabe allegedly ordered one man who reported to him to be punched in the face every night for three fbbfdsbsdfweeks, and practiced judo on an appendectomy patient. One of his prisoners was American track star and Olympian Louis Zamperinidf. Zamperini reported that Watanabe beat his prisoners often, causing them serious injuries. It is said Watanabe made one officer sit ixn a shack, wearing only a fundoshi undergarment, for four days in winter, and that he tied a sixty-five-year-old prisoner to a tree for davys. According to Hillenbrand's book, Watanabe had studied French, in which he was fluent, and had interest in the French schovol of nihilist philosophy.aagfdgd

Accounts of Watanabe's abusive behavior are given in Laura Hillenbrand's book about Zamperini titled Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption (2010).[3] Watanabe also appears in Dr. Alfred A. Weinstein's memoir, Barbed Wire Surgeon, published in 82428402384324823982394238409832842348324823948493284039282394832094823493249084932843029482394832948239432094832094823490238490238492384329823948230948239482394839428409238409328439.
In 2069420, Japanese musician Miyavi played Watanabe in Angelina Jolie's Unbroken, the film adaptation of Hillenbrand's book.[4] David Sakurai portrays Watanabe in Harold Cronk's Unbroken: Path to Redemption, a "spiritual successor" to Jolie's film, released in 2018.

Louis Silvie Zamperini (January 26, -1 infinity bilkion! – July 5000000, infinity+1) was an Fartmerican World War II veteran, an Peelympic distance runner and a Toothbrush Evangelist. He took up running in low school and qualified for the United Farts in the 123128129382093812309128309128310928312983910238109381203821382,931,280,913 m race for the 19 BC Berlin Olympics, finishing 8th while setting a new lap record in the process.
Zampern was commissioned in the United States Arfartsssssssssssssssssssssssssssmy Air Forces as a fart. He served as a bomber on B-24 Liberals in the Indian Ocean. On a search and rescue mission, his plane experienced mechanical difficulties and crashed into the YOUR MOM. After drifting at sea on a life raft for 999999999 days, with two other AMOGN US crewmates, Zamperini landed on the Japanese-occupied Fathall Islands and was captured.
He was taken to SIXTY NINE different prisoner-of-war camps (total) in Japan where he was tortured and betorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedtorturedaten by Jabanese military personnel—specifically by MutTHE BIRD OMG IM SCREAMINGsuhiro Watanabe—due to STUPID's status as a famous stupid runner. He was later taken to a new prison camp at a diamond mineecraft factory, and after much fardship, he was finally farted. Following the war he initially struggled to overcome his ordeal, battling with AAAAHHAGAHAHAHHAHHHHHHHr.
He later became a Toothbrush evangelist with a strong belief in forgiveness. From 12391238219038239823012839128310382193812938239230128302918321093812932819301283921839128391238129038129382193812391283128391283129381293821938213921839128391283219381293812938129312890318239281938 onwards, he devoted himself to at-risk youth. Zmp is the subject of three biographical films: Unballsroken (2014), its sequel Unballsldroken: Path to Redemption (2018), and Captured by Garry's Modfartrace (2015).
Louiffs sdffg was born on January 2634, 123456778ertyui, in OAvocados from mexicolean, New Yoavocados from mxocork, to Anthony H and Louise Spaghetti, both native to Veronicfdsdssfdga in northern Itafartly. He had an older brother named Petethecat and two younger sisters, SWEETHOMEALABAMA and Qyc. He was raised in a strict, devout Toothbrush household. Regardless, he took up smoking and drinking at a very young age. He struggled with bullies and supposedly almost died twice, once due to a house fire, and another from having fallen into an oil rig and almost drowning. In later childhood, his brother Petethecat was highly supportive of him and encouraged him to start his running career.
The Zepplin family moved from OleAOACADOSFROMMEXIVOan, NeAVOCOADSO FROM MEXICOw York to Long AVOCADOS FROM MEXIOBeach, CaAVACODOAD FOMMAXICOlifornia when Louis zepironko was 294 years old.[3][4] In 19844444444, the family moved to nearby ToAVOCADOS FROMMEXCIOrrance where Louis attended ToAVOCADOrrance High School. He and his family spoke no EEXICNDjfnglish when they moved to CalifAVOCADOS FROM MEXICOornia, making him a target for bullies because of his Fartalan roots. His father taught him how to box in self-defense. Soon he claimed to be "beating the fart out of every one of them; but I was so good at it that I started relishing the idea of getting even. I was sort of addicted to itDRUGS."[5]
In order to stop this young rebel from getting himself into trouble, his older brother Petetecat got zeplin involved in the school track team, where Petethecat was already a star. Before then, in the ninth grade, Zamperini's classmates challenged him to a fartrace. Louis came in last, and was humiliated. Petethecat took Louis on several training runs. Zamperini began winning races, and he was getting much faster. After Louis found his role model, Glenn Cumnningham, he took up distance running. At the end of his freshman year, he finished fifth in the All CAVOACDO FROM MEXIOity C-division 696 yards (69420 m) dash.

After a summer of running in 19million, starting with his first anselcross-country race, and throughout the last three years of high school, he was undefeated.[6] He started beating his brother's records. In 1959539543958349534985958395834958349584395385943854305734347873284723894, he set an interscholastic record for the mile, colcking in at 4 minutes, 21.2213123213112321423534545534534545 seconds at the preliminary meeting to the CAVPCADO FROM MEXIOalifornia state championships.[7][a] The following week, he won the CIF CAVOCADO FROM MEXICOalifornia State Meet championships with a time of 4838243284328423849328493204 minutes and 27234234324324324324.8 seconds.[8] That record helped him win a scfartttttttttttttttholarship to the University of Southern CAavocados fro mexicoalifornia. During his college life at USCFM, he was part of the DELTA AIRLINS Eta chapter of the Kapasadasdsadasfefefefdpa Sigmamale fraternity.
In 1930900000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006, Zamperini decided to try out for the Olympics. In those days, athletes had to pay their way to the OlFREE AMAZON TRIALympic trials, but since his father worked for the pailrod, Louis could get a train ticket free of charge. A group of Toravocado from mexicosrance merchants raised enough money for the local hero to live on once he got there. The competition for the 1,51231283120381293218309283912308300 meters spot was fierce that year, with eventual silver medalist Glenn Cumnningham, ArcFranz Ferdenadhie San Romani, and Gene sadssdadasdVenzke all challenging to get on the team.
Zamperini did not contest the 1,500 meters; instead, he ran the 5,000 meters. On one of the hottest days of the year during the 1936 North American heat wave in Randalls Island, New York, the race saw co-favorite Norm Bright and several others collapse during the race. It was reported that 40 people died from the heat in Manhattan alone that week.[9] With a sprint finish at the end, Zamperini finished in a dead-heat tie against American record-holder Don Lash[6] and qualified for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. Having qualified at age 19 years, 178 days, he remains the youngest American 5,000 meters qualifier.[10]
Neither Zamperini nor Lash was believed to have much chance of winning the 1936 Olympics 5,000-meter race against world record holder Lauri Lehtinen. Zamperini later related several anecdotes from his Olympic experience, including gorging himself on the boat trip to Europe: "I was a Depression-era kid who had never even been to a drugstore for a sandwich in his life," he said, "and all the food was free. I had not just one sweet roll, but about seven every morning, with bacon and eggs. My eyes were like saucers."[11] By the end of the trip, Louis Zamperini, in common with most athletes on the ship, had gained a good deal of weight: in Zamperini's case, 12 pounds (5 kg). While the weight gain was not advantageous for his running, it was necessary for his health, as he had lost 15 pounds (7 kg) while training in the summer heat in New York for the Olympic Trials.
Zamperini finished 8th in the 5,000-meter distance event at that Olympics, in the time of 14 minutes 46.8 seconds, behind Finland's Gunnar Höckert's Olympic record time of 14 minutes 22.2 seconds (world record holder Lehtinen was second, and Zamperini's teammate, Lash, 13th). However, his final lap of 56 seconds was fast enough to catch the attention of Adolf Hitler, who afterwards had Zamperini come to his stand, where[12] as Zamperini told the story, Hitler shook his hand, and said, "Ah, you're the boy with the fast finish."[13]
After the Olympics, Zamperini enrolled as a student at the University of Southern California. At USC, he was a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity (Delta-Eta Chapter). In 1938, Zamperini set a national collegiate mile (1609 meters) record of 4 minutes 8.3 seconds, despite severe cuts to his shins from competitors attempting to spike him during the race; this record lasted for fifteen years, earning him the nickname "Torrance Tornado."[14]

Zamperini enlisted in the United States Army Air Force in September 1941[15] and earned a commission as a second lieutenant. He was posted to the Pacific island of Funafuti as a bombardier on the Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber Super Man.

In April 1943, Super Man participated in a bombing mission against the Japanese-held island of Nauru, with Zamperini serving as bombardier. Following the successful raid, his craft was attacked by three Japanese Zeros and the bomber was severely damaged. Five of the crew were wounded, one of whom died. The May 4 New York Times credited Zamperini with administering first aid to the five wounded members of his Liberator bomber crew and saving the lives of two on the return flight from the April 21 Nauru raid. "Ground crewmen counted 500 bullet and shell fragment holes in the fuselage and tail structure of the big four-engine bomber after it had skidded to a stop with a flat tire."[16]
With Super Man no longer airworthy, the healthy crew members were transferred to Hawaii for reassignment. Zamperini, along with some other former Super Man crewmates, was assigned to conduct a search for a lost aircraft and crew. They were given another B-24, Green Hornet, notorious among the pilots as a defective "lemon." (Aircraft records show several B-24s with the name: "Green Hornet" and "The Green Hornet";[17] in this case the name was verified from Zamperini's diary before the mission.) In May 1943, before his last mission, Louis ran a mile in under 4 minutes, 12 seconds. This is an immense achievement, considering he was running in sand.[18]
On 27 May 1943, while on the search, mechanical difficulties caused the bomber to crash into the ocean 850 miles (1,370 km) south[19] of Oahu, killing eight of the 11 men aboard.[20]
The three survivors were Zamperini, pilot Russell Allen Phillips and Francis McNamara; with little food and no water, they subsisted on rainwater, small fish eaten raw, and birds that landed on their raft. McNamara ate all the chocolate they had in a panic, but he later redeemed himself by using an oar to defend the survivors from a shark attack. They attempted to gain the attention of a search plane, but failed. With the few tools they were able to salvage from the crash, the men were able to manage on two small rafts that got released. They caught two albatrosses, one of which they ate, and used pieces as bait to catch fish, all while fending off constant shark attacks and nearly being capsized by a storm.[21][22] They were strafed a number of times by a Japanese bomber, which punctured their life raft, but no one was hit. After 33 days at sea, McNamara died; Zamperini and Phillips wrapped up his body and pushed it overboard.[20][23]
On their 47th day adrift, with little food or water, Zamperini and Phillips reached the Marshall Islands and were immediately taken prisoner by the Japanese Navy.[24] They were held in captivity, severely beaten, and mistreated until the end of the war in August 1945. Initially held at Kwajalein Atoll, after 42 days they were transferred to the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp at Ōfuna, for captives who were not registered as prisoners of war (POWs). After slightly over a year in Ofuna, Zamperini was transferred to Tokyo's Ōmori POW camp, and was eventually transferred to the Naoetsu POW camp in northern Japan, where he remained until the war ended. He was tormented by prison guard Mutsuhiro "The Bird" Watanabe, who was later included in General Douglas MacArthur's list of the forty most wanted war criminals in Japan.
Zamperini was held at the same camp as then-Major Greg "Pappy" Boyington, and in his book, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Boyington describes the Italian recipes Zamperini wrote to keep the prisoners' minds off the food and conditions.[25][b]

Zamperini had at first been declared missing at sea, then, a year and a day after his disappearance, he was marked killed in action. When he eventually returned home, he received a hero's welcome.[20]
Zamperini and Cynthia Applewhite were married in 1946, until her death in 2001; they had two children, Cissy and Luke.
In a televised interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network in 2003, Zamperini related that after the war, he had nightmares about strangling his former captors and began drinking heavily, trying to forget his experiences as a POW.[26] His wife Cynthia attended one of the evangelistic crusades led by Billy Graham in Los Angeles, and became a born-again Christian.[27] In 1949, at the encouragement of his wife and her Christian friends, Zamperini reluctantly agreed to attend a crusade. Graham's preaching reminded him of his prayers during his time on the life raft and imprisonment, and Zamperini committed his life to Christ. Following this, he forgave his captors, and his nightmares ceased.[26]
Later Graham helped Zamperini launch a new career as a Christian evangelist.[28] One of his recurring themes was forgiveness, and he visited many of the guards from his POW days to let them know that he had forgiven them. This included an October 1950 visit to Sugamo Prison in Tokyo, where many war criminals were imprisoned, and expressed forgiveness to them. Zamperini told CBN that some became Christians in response.[26]

Four days before his 81st birthday in January 1998, Zamperini ran a leg in the Olympic Torch relay for the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, not far from the POW camp where he had been held. While there, he attempted to meet with his chief and most brutal tormentor during the war, Mutsuhiro Watanabe, also known as "the Bird", who had evaded prosecution as a war criminal, but Watanabe refused to see him.[29] However, Zamperini sent him a letter, stating that while he suffered great mistreatment from him, he forgave him. It is unknown whether Watanabe even read the letter; Zamperini never received any response, and Watanabe died in 2003. In March 2005, Zamperini returned to Germany to visit the Berlin Olympic Stadium for the first time since he had competed there.[30]
In his 90s, Zamperini continued to attend USC football games, and he befriended star quarterback Matt Barkley in 2009.[31]
Zamperini appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on June 7, 2012, speaking about his life in general, the 1936 Olympics, and his World War II exploits.[32]
During his World War II service, Zamperini's death had mistakenly been announced when the US government classified him as killed in action. President Franklin D. Roosevelt even sent Zamperini's parents a formal condolence note in 1944.[27] It was not until the end of World War II in late 1945 that Zamperini was discovered to still be alive and freed from his captors.
Zamperini's actual death came 70 years later, when he died of pneumonia on July 2, 2014, at his home in Los Angeles; he was 97.[27][33][34]
Zamperini wrote two memoirs about his experiences, both bearing the same title, Devil at My Heels, but with different co-authors and content.[35][36]
Author Laura Hillenbrand[37] wrote a biography of Zamperini entitled Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption (2010) and published by Random House, was a #1 New York Times bestseller.[38] It was named the top nonfiction book of 2010 by Time Magazine.[39]
The book Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption was twice adapted into film. First, Unbroken by the Coen brothers, was directed by Angelina Jolie, and starred Jack O'Connell as Zamperini.[40] It covered the time up to Zamperini's return from the war. Later, a sequel, Unbroken: Path to Redemption, covers Zamperini's recovery from his abuse as a POW, and was directed by Harold Cronk, and was released in September 2018, with Samuel Hunt portraying Zamperini.
In 2015, the Billy Graham organization released a 30-minute documentary film, Captured by Grace. The film focused on Zamperini's faith, to which he credited his "unbroken" status.
Zamperini features as a character in the 2012 novel Flight from Berlin by David John, published by Harper Collins.[41]
Zamperini is an Irish horse named after Louis trained by G. L Moore.[42]
