Were all prisoners of war treated the same way during World War 2 in Japan were Americans treated differently?
Prisoners of war in World War 2 were not all treated the same. Here is an example of this. The German army ran the POW camps in Nazi Germany during WW2. American POW's had a death rate in the German camps of 4%. In contrast, the POW camps of Japan that held American POW's had a death rate of 17%. This is a remarkable difference. If anyone has seen the captured Japanese made film of the Death March of Bataan, the film shows defenseless American soldiers on this death march bayoneted by Japanese soldiers. It's a horrible scene, as are the scenes of the Burma road manned primarily by British prisoners, or the treatment of the Chinese who lost 517,568,000 men compared to USA's 131,028,000. The Japanese were particularly unforgiving on any prisoners that surrendered (not just Americans!) as they saw the act of capitulation as a sign of inferiority. this is also the reason that they would rather commit ritual suicide or fight against ridiculous odds before the dishonour of surrender. This social trait was used to good effect by the leaders of the Japanese imperial army to create an inhuman fighting force. more cruel and dispassionate than the Germans who had no such social code.
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.
