Eh? Did the Japanese even *have* a military in that decade? >>
ack,
I must have deleted a line in my final check somehow. After *between* this
should have read "from the invasion of China in 1937 to the end of
World War II" Don't remember what 1970-80 was in reference to. Sorry about
that.
In this number is around 138,000 POW's. I don't know how many of the number
toll was due to deaths from massive forced labor. One estimate I read put
the toll up to 300,000 to build the Burma-Thailand railroad.
