#1 I must confess my ignorance of this particular battle. The Pacific theater had some very unusual challenges. Due to food shortages the Japanese resulted to cannibalism. They removed parts that allowed prisoners to live on so not having refrigeration they would still have a food supply. The fungus infection in the ears was another issue. Ear canal coated with a green carpet needing medical attention that appears to reoccur for the remainder of their lives. Then of course the many other warm climate ailments acquired.

It still bothers me that after Japan's loss in China that they had so few prisoners of war.

Sorry. It's late and I ramble.
