Yet the men kept coming, forced out of the holds and into the fires by rising water. Eventually, the chaos, the strafing, and the fires became too much for the Japanese jailors, who abandoned ship. Left to their own devices, more than a thousand POWs ended up in the water and swam toward land.

The Japanese captured them in the water and on the shore—it is unclear whether anyone actually escaped. The guards then herded their pitiful charges to a tennis court on shore for the next stage of their deadly ordeal. In sobering detail, historian Edward J. Marolda has traced the fates of the group of men who survived the sinking of Oryoku Maru. Most of them were loaded onto another requisitioned merchant ship, which subsequently sank off the coast of Taiwan.

Those who did make it to Japan were subject to further abuses and neglect as well as another hellish trip at sea, this time to Korea, where, at the end of the war, U. Japanese treatment of Allied POWs was deadly in and of itself, Allied sinkings of hell ships notwithstanding. The sinking of Oryoku Maru was the result of intercepted Japanese radio transmissions that would have revealed some information about POWs on board. Whether that information made its way down to the theater commanders is unclear.

At any rate, there is no evidence to suggest that commanders at sea had any knowledge of the presence of POWs on Japanese ships. The issue of culpability is complicated and disquieting. As yet, no historian has taken it on directly. The fatal Ultras were sent. Axis and Allies died together. Source: Gregory F. Note: There is considerable disagreement among historians on the number of hell ships and the number of sinkings. Arden R. Edward J. Navy, on 1 July NH Naval History and Heritage Command.
