The chart provides the number of POW up to April 9 is less than normal history books ' figure : 75000 , only 70,380 POW were captured. Also Corriegdor or campaign for Panay, Cebu and Mindanao only accounted for 12,495 POW, also less than normal history books information. Some books say Corriedgor had 15000 POW and Mindanao had another 5,000.
And why campaign of Dutch East Indies figure had some more details like figures for bullets or artillery ammunition. Japanese claimed they had captured 89,071,820 small arms ammo and 1,728,585 artillery ammuntion in Java campaign. Did Philippines campaign had some thing like this ? Thank.
And do you have about 25th Army total booty report for the whole Malaya campaign ? I have one on Singapore alone.
Normally history books only concerned about Singapore alone. But Singapore booty report are very detailed, like number of ATR, bullets but did not have figure on artillery ammuntion. Thank
