No one survived from the death marches. Everyone involved in the actual marching was sent to another concentration camp where they would have died or maybe would have survived butthat wouldn't be a death march then. The others went to be executed.


What happened to Australian POWs in Japanese camps?

Australians had the highest survival rate of all the allies held by the sadistict japanese. Even though they had the highest survival rate, only six people survived in the Sandakan Death March.


Why did the Sandakan Death March take place in 1945?

In early 1945 the 1st Australian Parachute Regiment (of which my wife's uncle, Ron Hodsdon was a member) was placed on standby to perform a rescue mission to extract the (more than) 2000 Australian & British men from Sandakan. A request had been made for the use of 30 planes for this operation. Gen Blamey personally refused this request. Ron has written a tribute to the men of Sandakan. A reading of this is heartbreaking. Such a tragedy should never have occurred and the Australian Military heirachy had it in their power to stop it. Because of crass stupidty and bloodymindedness all these men (with the exception of 6) died needlessly. The Sandakan Death marches (and there were 3) took place because the heads of the Australian Government and military allowed them to. There was ample intelligence to locate and extract these men, but no rescue was authorised. I always wondered why my father had such a disdainful hatred of Blamey, and after reading Ron's book I have a small inkling of why.

How many men survived the march to the pow camp?

The number of men who survived the march to the POW camp can vary significantly depending on the specific march being referenced, as there were many during different conflicts, particularly in World War II. For example, during the Bataan Death March, approximately 54,000 of the 76,000 American and Filipino troops who were forced to march survived the ordeal. However, many suffered from severe maltreatment, starvation, and disease. If you have a specific march in mind, please provide more details for a more accurate answer.
