they are sneaky ones and the canoe idea is genius and is one of the most brilliant ways to penetrate a harbor.

I'm not too sure if I got it right. I read from somewhere that after the mission in Singapore, the Japanese prosecuted many locals believing that they sabotaged the ships instead of The Cockleshell Heroes.

well reading thru history, I have the impression, the japs butchers whoever for whatever reason.

@gepardlee Could very well be - possibly, depending on the level of resistance the locals were putting up, the attack might have been seen as a good political excuse to do away with perceived native "troublemakers".

@gepardlee I think that is correct but something similar is portrayed in the film so maybe we are getting it from there.
