 | Australian POW Camps Prisoner of War and Internment Camps in Australia during WW2 Within this site is the camp at "Cowra" New South Wales, scene of the Japanese Beakout in August 1944. The break out was a suicide attempt by the Japanese prisoners. After killing guards, many were accommodated to their wishes.

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
