The Japanese began to move Australian prisoners of war to Thailand and the hell that would be the Burma-Thailand Railway on May 15, 1942

The Japanese began to move Australian prisoners of war to Thailand and the hell that would be the Burma-Thailand Railway on May 15, 1942.






The first group, A Force, was 3,000-strong and commanded by Brigadier A. L. Varley. About 13,000 Australians were to be used as
slave labour on the railway's construction, with about 2,800 dying there and many more later passing away as a result of the inhuman working conditions.

Overall, a staggering 61,811 British, Dutch, Australian and American POWs and 177,700 civilian slaves from Malaya, Burma, Java and Singapore were to lose their lives.

May you all rest in peace. Photo: Mess parade for POWs of the Japanese, at a camp on the Burma-Thailand railway. In theory the Japanese ration scale for POWs on the railway included 680 grams of rice, 520 grams of vegetables and 110 grams of meat or fish per man per day. In practice, these figures were seldom achieved during the railway construction period.
Those unable to work because of illness were reduced to half rations, a policy not implemented by POW camp
commanders.

The rations were equally shared, with the workers accepting a reduced scale.

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
