(Subject: World War II - Pacific) The true horror of the Japanese treatment of Allied POWs at sea during WWII. Crammed in their thousands into the holds of ships, moved from island to island, they were put to work as slave labour in the prison camps. Some 126,000 prisoners were transported and more than 21,000 of them died from disease, starvation and beatings, as well as by Allied attacks.
