As we all know, the war was very cruel, and during World War II, Japan, as a fascist country, used very cruel means, and they completely disregarded international treaties and violated many international regulations. For example, the Japanese treated captives mostly badly, and eventually these captives were tortured to death. However, after the end of World War II, many countries still treated Japanese prisoners of war more humanely, and most of them gave preferential treatment to prisoners of war.
However, the preferential treatment of Japanese prisoners of war led to a prison escape, when more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers escaped with dinner knives, but they were dumbfounded after rushing out. At that time, in Cowlan, in order to hold prisoners of war, the Cowland prisoner of war camp was established, and because the place was sparsely populated, a large prisoner of war camp was established. More than 20,000 prisoners of war were held here, including Italian soldiers, or Japanese soldiers.
The prisoners of war who were imprisoned here, their lives were very comfortable, and they had food and play. And the Japanese army's transformation method is only to cut down trees, perhaps because it is too comfortable, so that these people actually planned a prison escape. At that time, because the Camp of Kaoran prisoners of war was full, the Australian side decided to transfer some Japanese troops, which made a Japanese soldier named Toshima At that time think that he wanted to kill them, so he wanted to escape.
And their weapon was a dinner knife, and when they rushed out, the Australian troops outside were holding heavy machine guns, facing them. Only 500 prisoners of war escaped, but they were dumbfounded when they saw what they saw. In this place, there is not even a jungle, hot during the day and cold at night, and there is no place to hide. As a result, they were caught and many people died, and if they had stayed in the prisoner-of-war camp at that time, maybe they would have returned to Japan alive.
