Hell Ships, naar Flores en de Molukken plot

The story of 6600 Dutch and British prisoners of war who were shipped from Java with the so-called 'Hell Ships' to the Moluccas and Flores, where they had to build airfields for the Japanese. About 2200 of them did not survive. They died from torpedoes and bombs from Allied submarines and aircraft, as well as from lack of water, food and medicine or from mistreatment.
