He was appointed as the Minister of People's Security in the Presidential Cabinet, but was replaced by Imam Muhammad Suliyoadikusumo on October 20, 1945 because Supriyadi never appeared. How and where Supriyadi died, still a mystery unsolved.

Early life.

In a 1945 report, the Secretary of Defense is still "beloem lifted" due to unclear fate Supriyadi.

After completing Europeesche Lagere School (elementary school level), Soeprijadi continued his education to Meer Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs (First School level), and then entered the Civil Service School in Magelang. However, the Japanese invaded the Dutch East Indies before he graduated. He then trained Seimendoyo in Tangerang, West Java.

On October 1943, Japan set up a militia PETA to assist the Japanese army to face the Allies. Supriyadi joined PETA with the rank shodancho or platoon commander, and after training is assigned in Blitar, East Java. He was assigned to supervise the workers romusha. Suffering such workers encouraged him to rebel against Japan.

Blitar uprising.

When Sukarno was visiting her parents in Blitar, PETA forces told him that they were planning a rebellion and ask the opinion of Sukarno. Soekarno asked them to consider the consequences, but Supriyadi sure rebellion would succeed.
On February 14, 1945, PETA soldiers began to rebel. However, the Japanese managed to quell the revolt. Six (or eight) of people sentenced to death and the rest imprisoned for between three years to life. However, Supriyadi not be put to death. Some say Supriyadi escape and hide from Japan and was never recovered thereafter.

He was officially declared as a National Hero of Indonesia on August 9, 1975 by Presidential Decree No. 063 / TK / 1975.

Tracing Traces Supriyadi.

Homeland Defense military uprising (map) on February 14, 1945, led by Shodancho (soldiers) Supriyadi in Blitar until now still leaves many questions, especially for the people of East Java.

Where it goes dashing heroes and brave? There is a friend of former shodancho but they do not know his whereabouts. If still alive where is the place of residence, and had died where grave or tomb. Most people when asked about Supriyadi Blitar always shook his head as if giving cues do not understand.

There is only the silent witness traces of the brave heroes once stationed. Silent witness in the form of the workplace, the bedroom, the kitchen, where the cook at the same time a secret meeting rooms, a clinic for treatment and trace where the Supriyadi first raised the flame of resistance against Japanese invaders. Trace and former silent witness this brave hero has now become a school complex Blitar city, said clerks Blitar City Education Department placed in SMPN 3, 5 and 6 Boenadi at work.

At that time no one dared to oppose the occupation any longer fight, only soldiers Map Daidan Blitar, dare to fight it. Indeed there are some earlier uprising, commander of the scholars and public figures in various places in Indonesia but all of them have not yielded satisfactory results.

Suffering of the people throughout the country at that time was very bad. National pride trampled, poverty, hunger and misery infect various aspects of life. What happens is that late night hospital dead, dead night morning sickness, morning sickness during the dead, during the night sick to death, and so on.

Sights smothering and make the inner eye sore that eventually burn nationalism Shodancho Supriyadi and his friends lit a fire of patriotism. On Tuesday Legi Wednesday Night Pahing February 14, 1945 Shodancho Supriyadi started rebelling against the invaders. PETA's uprising, looks less effective because it only lasts a few hours and resulted in the arrest of nearly all members except the brave troops Map Supriyadi. But in terms of the impact event Supriyadi uprising has been able to open the eyes of the world to the Japanese invaders out of Indonesia.

Rebellion map carve gold ink in the history of the struggle of Indonesia, because the incident is the only insurgency by the Japanese army discipline. In fact, this uprising may be regarded as the sole phenomenon of Japanese students who dared to resist his master throughout Southeast Asia and East Asia were colonized by the Japanese colonial.

Perpetrators rebellion many had died, but no one ever testified in the media and on the historical writings. They narrate her involvement in the uprising events Map Blitar, 64 years ago. Among them are former members of the army rank Gyuhei PETA Blitar, Budhanco, even ex Shodancho, though not of Daidan Blitar. In his day, they were scattered in various corners and angles Blitar, but only a few people.

Several heirs of the perpetrators uprising PETA, ranging from family Supriyadi in Blitar were not spared from the target to be able to come back tells the atmosphere at the time. Of various books on the history of rebellion map tells us that Shodancho Hardjomiarso Supriyadi were in residence, the village head Sumberagung District of Gandusari (even villages Sumberagung also could be used as the headquarters of the last uprising).

There is a story that mentions Waterfall Sedudo, in Nganjuk is an other place in East Java which is said to have visited Supriyadi, after the uprising. A name is also written in the history books that the relevant map uprising helped "hide" Supriyadi in a cave on a hilltop near Sedudo.

Also in the village Krisik in the Blitar, Malang regency. There is a cave era Japanese defense found there. But the cave's defense is not found signs of Supriyadi.

There is also news from Beach Pond, Jolosutro Beach, Serang Beach in South Blitar. This location, said first soldiers Map Blitar make the defense, practicing and working with hundreds of romusha forced to die. But back in this place there is no resource that is able to speak about their Supriyadi. Panceran District Ngancar Ngancar village, Kediri regency, precisely on the mountain slopes Kelud. He said at this location Supriyadi fled along with his followers after the guerrilla uprising.

Supriyadi the presence of witnesses that still exists today is the building formerly used by the Army Headquarters on the road map Shodancho Supriyadi Blitar. The area that is now used as educational complex, there are former Supriyadi bedroom, kitchen PETA soldiers, even now stands a monument Map Blitar. Seven statues realized there describe their faces when the uprising occurred February 14, 1945.

Talk about the uprising Blitar map, actually not just talk about Supriyadi mysterious figure. Immediately after the uprising took place a flag (which finally has become the flag of the Republic of Indonesia) red and white, never flying in space Blitar.

According to the story Parthohardjono (PETA Army Blitar) the person who bravely waving red and white on the field in front of the headquarters of the Army Map Blitar. That place, now included in the hero's tomb garden area, directly across from the monument Map Blitar. A note said, after the proclamation of independence, the 1946 General Sudirman never visited the place where the red and white flag ever flown first time in Blitar. At this location Jendal sudirman pinned wreath.

Boenadi said that when the uprising took place, the sound of mortar fire boomed, as a sign of the start of the uprising led by Supriyadi. That night Blitar really tense atmosphere. Map bustle soldiers who began a revolt against his master, the courage one of the brothers making Supriyadi named Parthohardjono red-white flag on the north field headquarters Map Blitar.

Here the red and white pillars was raised. According to the story Parthohardjono do homage to the red and white flag. Then kneel and kiss the ground three times with tears in her eyes full of emotion, convinced that Indonesia has Merdeka night.

Inferno Patriotism and Nationalism uprising Blitar map, it is still lit, and emerged as a passion for the Government and the City of Blitar, especially the Indonesian people in general.

This was supposed to be a whip nation's leaders in the fight for the interests of its people. How Supriyadi have real give evidence against the invaders. Then colleague Supriyadi named Parthohardjono have provide role models of courage and fighting spirit so great. Is not, soldiers Map has been willing to die to be free from the shackles of colonialism.

It is ironic presumably, if the uprising Map lasting only as a mere historical record. Other than that it was only the heroic events scheduled for the celebrated each year in a ceremonial without meaning.
