Episode 33: Prisoners of War in Asia

from WW2: Both Sides of The Wire · host Prof. Matthias Strohn & Jesse Alexander

In today’s episode, we’ll pick up our theme of Prisoners of War - and this time we’ll focus on the Asia-Pacific theatre. As in Eastern Europe, similar harrowing themes defined the experience of men in enemy hands: a punishing climate, disregard for human life, forced labour, and even a ten-year-wait before seeing home.
