ALT1:... that British accounts noted that Japanese actions during the Battle of Semarang had saved European
prisoners of war? Source: Same as above, p414: "So Tuli wrote in his report: 'In the course of their fighting the Japanese, who fought with incredible gal lantry despite losses which with most troops would have been prohibitive, in all cases protected the internment camps from molestation and released numerous Dutch and Eurasian captives from the jail"
Article meets DYK requirements, adequately sourced, no close paraphrasing found, QPQ done. The first hook is the more interesting of the two: I don't have access to the source right now so AGF on that. GTG.
