Скачать или смотреть Hell Ship to Japan

John Wyatt of the East Surrey Regiment was captured by the Japanese during the Fall of Singapore. After being forced into slave labour on the Thai-Burma Railroad, he was shipped with many others to Japan to work in factories.
Of all his wartime experiences, John recalls that sea voyage as one of the 'greatest horrors' he experienced. The transport ships became known as Hell Ships for the terrible conditions on board. Prisoners, many already ill with tropical diseases, were locked in the hot, airless holds with insufficient food and water as the Hell Ships ran the gauntlet of Allied submarines on the way to Japan.
Here, John describes his experience aboard the Hell Ships.
