국문 초록

この論文は、北朝鮮軍創設時内部の親日派問題をどのように清算したの か、そしてその過程はどのように行われたかどうかをATISの捕虜に対する尋問の 報告書を通じて分析した。学界では、北朝鮮の親日派の清算について、個人 の生活習慣に残っている遺物までも徹底的に行われたものと評価している。 しかし、北朝鮮政権樹立以降、実際に親日派の清算に対する具体的な法 令が制定されていないことから、北朝鮮の親日派の清算さらに、北朝鮮軍内 部の親日派の清算は宣伝に過ぎないことを知ることができる。さらに、既存の研 究は、北朝鮮内部の文書をそのまま引用することで、北朝鮮の宣伝論理に従っ ている危険性もある。 北朝鮮軍内部にも日本軍出身者が多く、特に日本の各種の士官学校出身 者たちだけでなく、特殊部隊出身者たちまで存在していることが確認されて、北 朝鮮の親日派の清算が、伝えられているように、徹底的に行われたという認識 は向上しなければならないだろう。 本論文では連合国翻訳通訳局(ATIS)が行った捕虜尋問報告書を通じて、 当時、北朝鮮軍内部に日本軍出身者がどのように存在していたのかを究明しようとした。 極東軍司令部が編纂した｢北朝鮮軍捕虜尋問報告書｣によると、一部日本 軍出身の北朝鮮軍将校と兵士の存在が確認されている。北朝鮮空軍保安隊 暗号局に勤めた捕虜の供述によると、北朝鮮空軍の人的構成は大半が日本 軍出身であることが明らかになっている。また、北朝鮮軍医務将校のほとんど は、日本の医科大学を卒業して日本軍に服務した後、北朝鮮軍に徴集されて 将校として勤務する場合が一般的だった。 また、北朝鮮軍歩兵将校の中でも日本軍将校出身だったにもかかわらず、 作戦将校や戦線司令部の作戦参謀として活躍した者も確認できる。結局、北 朝鮮軍内部の徹底した親日派粛清という宣伝は、北朝鮮軍捕虜に対する尋 問の報告書を通じても事実と違うことを確認することができる。

영문 초록

This paper analyzed how the internal pro-Japanese group issue was settled at the time of the founding of the North Korean military and how the process was carried out through the Allied Translator and Interpreter Section(ATIS)’s Prisoner of War report. Academics say that the liquidation of pro-Japanese group in North Korea has been thoroughly carried out even the remnants of individual lifestyles. However, given that no specific legislation has been enacted since the establishment of the North Korean regime on the liquidation of pro-Japanese group, furthermore, the liquidation of pro-Japanese group within the North Korean military is nothing more than propaganda. Moreover, there is a danger that existing studies follow the North’s propaganda logic by quoting documents inside the North as they are. As it has been confirmed that there were many former Japanese soldiers inside the North Korean military, especially those from various Japanese military academies as well as those from special forces, the perception that the North’s liquidation of pro-Japanese group has been carried out thoroughly, as previously known, should be enhanced. In this paper, we tried to find out how former Japanese soldiers were present inside the North Korean military at the time through a report by the ATIS. According to a report compiled by the Far East Command, the existence of some North Korean military officers and soldiers from the former Japanese military is confirmed. According to a statement by a prisoner who worked at the North Korean Air Force Security Command, most of the personnel composition of the North Korean Air Force is from the former Japanese military. In addition, most of the North Korean military conscripts graduated from a Japanese medical school and served in the pre-Japanese military before being conscripted into the North Korean military and serving as officers. Also, some of the North Korean military infantry officers were former Japanese military officers, but they served as operational staff members of the operational officer or the frontline command. After all, the propaganda inside the North Korean military, called “a thorough purge of pro-Japanese group,” can be confirmed to be different from the truth through the North Korean pow’s report.
