“For real? Were there any survivors?”

Evidently, and it’s certainly believable and maybe helps explain why lots of people returning from the Pacific weren’t able to even talk about what they experienced.

This is from Wikipedia (Cannibalism), I also saw it History Channel, PBS, or something like it.

“In his book Flyboys: A True Story of Courage, James Bradley details several instances of cannibalism of World War II Allied prisoners by their Japanese captors.[91] The author claims that this included not only ritual cannibalization of the livers of freshly killed prisoners, but also the cannibalization-for-sustenance of living prisoners over the course of several days, amputating limbs only as needed to keep the meat fresh.”
