2. The Cowra Breakout (true aussie story)
"In the early hours of August 5,1944 1100 Japanese prisoners launched a mass breakout from a
P.O.W. camp near the small NSW town of Cowra.
Armed with the most primative of weapons,they charged over the barbed wire into Australian
gunfire.334 actually escaped.Twenty Japanese had already committed suicide within the compound.
Another 180 odd died during the breakout itself along with 4 aussie guards.
The breakout at Cowra was the largest prison break in history and the only land battle fought on
Australian soil in 2 world wars.The full story of the breakout was not revealed for more than 30 years.
It remains one of the most bizarre and least understood episodes in the history of the Pacific War."
