  • was the Japanese versions of the fall of Bataan, Corrigidor, Singerpore, and Java.1 Their interpretation of the flight and desertion of MacArthur, Sayre, and Quezon gave them powerful and useful propoganda and it was capitalized and exaggerated for months on end. Charts, maps and tables showed such Japanese gains and American losses that we sometimes wondered whether or not we even had a country or homeland. Many people were affected in camp but the majority laughed in supreme contempt at Japenese attempts to fool even themselves into believing themselves victorious. After two years of this the Jap commandant was tipped off that we were reading the news in reverse and that when the Japs “sank 60 ships and knocked down 120 planes while losing only one destroyer which rammed a cruiser and 5 planes which dived into their objective or had not yet returned” it was possibly exactly reversed. We didn’t get any more papers through the Japs. As long as this paper was published we got it from some source or other until the end. 20 here In connection with rumors and news it is well to know that the Japs were so stupid as to not realize that Mr. B. a publicity name and a radio broadcaster wanted by then was really Mr. A. an internee who made all our loud speaker announcements and who cleverly by intonation and mispronouncation usually referred to the latest verified news. For instance shortly after the Leyte landing he concluded his announcement by some trivial importance by saying “Better Leyte’ than never” and when Hitler was believed assassinated he played the record “Cheer up the Wicked Witch is Dead” Hundreds of soldiers and officers have asked us as a first question whether or not the Japanese mistreated women prisoners. The answer is negative. There were stories and rumors but no authentic account of mistreatment of women other than slapping them around, many of whom deserved slapping because of indifference to discipline and regulations. It is the opinion of informed people that this one crime was not committed because this would have lost the support of the Spanish, Swiss and other neutral parties outside the camp as well many Filipinos. Others believed, and this opinion came from old timers in Japan and China, that white women because of their strong meaty smell and mannish cloth had no sex appeal to even sex starved soldiers.
