Overview:
Based on the events portrayed in the movie "Bridge Over the River Kwai" (1957). During the course of the WWII Japanese occupation of Burma, they expended huge efforts in laying down railroads through the heavily forested, mountainous terrain. The Kwai River, in southern Burma, provided a significant obstacle in the path of the planned railroad. The fall of Singapore provided the Japanese with huge numbers of British soldier laborers for this project. The horrendous conditions and austere treatment of the Japanese caused the death of many prisoners. British COL Nicholson and his battalion were assigned as prisoner replacements for the losses. At first the British hampered construction by slow and shoddy work. COL Nicholson forced the Japanese to improve conditions while in return the bridge was worked adequately. The British High Command sent a commando force to destroy the bridge. The commando unit timed their attack as the first train was crossing.Attacker: British (Force 316)
Defender: Japanese (Prison Garrison, POW Camp 16)
