The story of Japanese Prisoner
The story of Japanese Prisoner of War camps is a particularly harrowing example of the extreme degree of inhumanity so often present in war. Allied soldiers captured by Japanese forces experienced an almost unimaginable scale of depravity. However, this story also highlights the resilience of the human spirit as they resisted the cruelty they faced, adopting various strategies to preserve not only their lives but also their dignity and self-respect. Join us, as we journey through a remarkably intertwined tale of horror and resistance.
As the Japanese believed it to be shameful to surrender in combat, they ran their camps with marked brutality. From when they entered the war in 1941, it is conservatively estimated that the Japanese held around 130,000 Allied troops as Prisoners of War who they had captured in battle and that around 35,000 of these never returned home. Bar the Nazi concentration camps, captives in Japanese Prisoner of War camps could expect to face the most brutal and dehumanizing conditions seen anywhere during World War II. The mortality rate for Allied prisoners of war held by the Japanese was around 25 to 30 percent. Lets go back in time to expand on this weird history and the dark chronicles of POW camps that according to some can be compared to the Soviet gulags.
