What was the difference between Australian POW's caught by the Japanese and POW's caught by the Germans?
Japanese treatment of POW's was far more brutal when compared to German treatment of POWs (bear in mind, Aussies were not of the same ethnicity as Pole or Russian soldiers, who received the worst treatment from Germans). Japan used POWs for slave labor (eg:Burma-Thai Railroad, "Bridge over River Kwai") and were subjected to vivisections, experiments, and overall barbaric treatment. A simple statistic illustrates the difference most clearly. 98% of POWs returned from German POW camps 73% returned from Japanese camps.
