He was born in 1938, so his earliest childhood memories would have been of WWII-era Japan. That said, I do remember reading something about this once but it's been years now; I want to say it was either on the V3 dvd notes or in some of the episode notes that went up with fansubs from the Showa series (maybe KITSubs?). Maybe it was on Igadevil's old site, I'm not sure. I don't remember enough details to provide a thorough answer, but I remember that there was something in the cultural zeitgeist that explained why fascist organizations and stuff like hidden Nazi gold showed up a lot in 70s Rider.
