My paternal grandfather was a civilian in China when Japan attacked the US. The only evacuation plan the state department had was to evacuate all the women and children by boat and the men had to go to Mao's people for safe keeping.
Grandad spent a few months under the care of Maoists then escaped and made it out via what became the Burma Road once it was completed.
Makes sense.
