But the most spine-chilling of all Japanese atrocities was their practice of cannibalism. One of the first to level charges of cannibalism against the Japanese was Jemadar Abdul Latif of 4/9 Jat Regiment of the Indian Army, a VCO who was rescued by the Australians at Sepik Bay in 1945. He alleged that not just Indian PoWs but even locals in New Guinea were killed and eaten by the Japanese. "At the village of Suaid, a Japanese medical officer periodically visited the Indian compound and selected each time the healthiest men. These men were taken away ostensibly for carrying out duties, but they never reappeared," the Melbourne correspondent of The Times, London, cabled this version of Jemadar Latif on November 5, 1946.

Then there were more similar testimonies by PoWs interned in other camps, such as Havildar Changdi Ram and Lance Naik Hatam Ali, who also gave details of cannibalism practised in their camps. John Baptist Crasta of the Royal Indian Army Service Corps, also a PoW at Rabaul, wrote in his memoir (Eaten by the Japanese: The Memoir of an Unknown Indian Prisoner of War) about Japanese eating Indian soldiers. He was made part of the Allied investigation into Japanese war crimes later.

this incident has been commonly known by J-intellectuals but i am sure netouyos will deny it. "its a conspiracy by china and korea!"
those J-soldiers were just in the state of starvation and had no choice for surviving. It even had been seen Jap-eat-Jap cases. so they were told not to walk alone by other J-comrades. actually 60% of J-soldiers death toll in WW2 was starvation....
Imperial J-army didnt have the system of military logistics.this disaster is a result of anti-rational "大和魂(yamato spirits)" policy.
btw seems like white dudes meat was called "白豚(white pig)" and native ppls meat was called "黒豚(black pig)".
