Repatriated on Gripsholm, TERIA was assigned duties at the Navy Department and Naval General Staff from June 1942 until the end of the war. His duties concerned training and allocations of pilots to the Naval Air Force through Naval Air Headquarters. TERAI answered questions frankly and directly. He was considered a reliable witness.
