It is an excellent movie, and it only scratches the surface of what was endured physically and mentally by those who were captured in Malaya, at Singapore or on Java.

Ron, you're not wrong. The scars were deep and permanent for those who came home. For far too many the mental damage of years in a living hell never left them.

And yes, there was betrayal. Betrayal to Australiaicon as a nation, to the men, and to the world after the war. The occupation and war crimes trials for Japanicon were a sham compared to what the Germans faced.
