Indonesian nationalists initially welcomed Japan's promises of pan-Asianism. But now, these have been shown to be entirely hollow. While Indonesian nationalist leaders continue to support the new occupier, it's clear that the country is simply under new colonial management. But the dream of Indonesian independence is still alive and this war will bring that day closer.

The Japanese decided that the Western civilians living in their new imperial territories threatened the Empire. Over one hundred thousand of these people now live in misery in concentration camps across Asia. Disease, overwork, hunger, and brutalisation are all taking their toll. Can the Allies free their civilians before time runs out?
