How were Australian prisoners treated compared to the prisoners generally treated in Japanese POW camps?
Australian POWs were treated as appallingly as other whites in Japanese camps. They were used as slave labour.
What POW camps did the US run in the Pacific?
POW camps for the Japanese, but NOT in the Pacific. In the United States itself were POW camps held. They were for the Japanese whom were deemed spies for the Japanese government.
Why haven't the Australian POW's of Germany during World War 2 been paid like the Australian POWs of Japan?
If you would care to read the documents on the Australian POW's in Germany were much better treated, in a more humane way then the ways that the Japanese were treating the Australians. Although it still must be looked upon. Hope I Could help :)
What was the difference between Australian POW's caught by the Japanese and POW's caught by the Germans?
Japanese treatment of POW's was far more brutal when compared to German treatment of POWs (bear in mind, Aussies were not of the same ethnicity as Pole or Russian soldiers, who received the worst treatment from Germans). Japan used POWs for slave labor (eg:Burma-Thai Railroad, "Bridge over River Kwai") and were subjected to vivisections, experiments, and overall barbaric treatment. A simple statistic illustrates the difference most clearly. 98% of POWs returned from German POW camps 73% returned from Japanese camps.
What were Japanese POW camp conditions for Australian soldiers in World War 2?
Absolutely disgraceful , just as they were for the British, American and other allied groups which included civilians from the same countries. They were starved, in Changi and other camps they resorted to eating rats for example, if they could find any. Torture was prevalent and beheading was common. To a westerner the Japanese were sadists and to this day are typically hated by people who were associated with the war. The Japanese tested out poisons on the pows and specifically used separate limbs which meant chopping limbs of them. After there were no remaining limbs they would through their torsos out in to the snow
