Interesting take on the movie
the True story behind The Bridge On The River Kwai Saturday morning on the History channel?
An amazing story. The British and Australian POWs were treated as bad as anything I've ever heard. The Nazis had nothing on the the Japenese guards and engineers when it came to brutality.
Why has it taken this long for me to hear this story?
I can't find a direct link to the show I saw this morning but there are many true versions out there.
The Thai-Burma railway was built under the worst of circumstances if the story is to be believed and I have no reason to doubt the story tellers.
It seems to me that the Aussies are always going to battle for the right people for the right reasons and getting the worst of it.
