These range from the tragic Sandakan death march story, the full aftermath of the Japanese discoveries of resistance movements operating under their noses, to successful Australian landings against the Japanese in the final stages of the Second World War.
The tragic Sandakan death march story was one of World War II’s saddest stories, with the inhumane movement of sick and malnourished men for no gain. We also discover the full aftermath of the Japanese discoveries of resistance movements operating under their noses, to successful Australian landings against the Japanese in the final stages of the Second World War.
