Secret Australian Heroes of Borneo Prisoner of War Camp

60 Minutes Australia •7 Dec 2019


Sixty years ago the war in the Pacific was coming to an end. And as the imperial Japanese army retreated its atrocities were revealed.

The death camps of Changi and the Burma railway shocked the Australian public.

But there was another place, a place so barbaric, so terrible that the Australian Government decided it had to be kept secret from the public. A place called Sandakan.

In this Japanese POW camp on the island of Borneo, the Australian death toll was near 100%. Yet only recently have the families of the men who died there learned the truth - a quite extraordinary story of horror and heroism.
