This is a shocking story, the story of a living nightmare, it is - I think - very much the story for a horrific film.
In January 1945 British forces were pushing the Japanese back in Burma. After initially landing against no opposition on Ramree Island they came up against stiff Japanese opposition in land. Rather than a frontal attack, they outflanked the Japanese and effectively cut them off. Only one road of escape remained open to the Japanese - a 16km night hike through the mangrove swamp, that turned into a two week path through hell.
British troops outflanked the Japanese with their unopposed landing on Cheduba island. It lies about 50 km west of Taungup on the Arakan Coast and is separated from Ramree Island to the north by the Cheduba Strait. It is 32 km long and 27 km wide and has an area of 523 square km. Cheduba was a stopping place on the historic coastal trade route from Bengal (India) by which Indian civilization came to Myanmar. Later came Buddhism and the earliest contacts with the British East India Company. In the 1780s, after the Burman conquest of the area, Cheduba became a province of Arakan. Small craft from Chittagong and Sittwe call at the island on their way to Yangon (Rangoon). Cheduba village on the northeast coast is linked to Kyaukpyu (Ramree Island) by steamer. Farming and cattle raising are the main economic activities. Mud cones emitting steam and sulfurous fumes indicate slight volcanic activity on the island; there are also gas and oil seepages. Pop. (1983) 63,761.

Considering that they were able to bury people alive, rape any age girls, maim and execute POWs, without feeling any guilt, death by 30ft crocodile is only karma.
What evidence is there - other than blatant racism - that Jews were trying to take over the German financial system? Or is this just another anti Semitic slur?
Hankohalla, please my comment was simply stating facts not expressing opinion. My point is that those who believe that the Holocaust was the deadliest or most tragic genocide of all time are wrong simply because of the numbers. However to say that it was caused by Jews trying to take over the German financial system is just awful. Financial corruption should be dealt with appopriate measures, not discriminant murder.
Good point. Should read learned how to read. However I see your teacher was not much cop either. The word grammar does not take a capital letter unless it is at the beginning of a sentence.
It was a mistake as all have made, I am occasionally mindlessly typing and add in extra characters or press shift when unnecessary... Should read learned how to read- means what I ask?
Illuminati=reptilian kin aka jinn, naga, demons, dragons, vampires, bluebloods, Al Gore, Windsors, Rockefellars, Rothschilds etc who rule secret societies like Freemasonry. Their agenda: force toxic swine flu vaccines on many, cap n trade, internet 2, codex alimentarius, WW3 then a staging of an alien invasion to get a fascist world government with us chipped.
