Came across this interesting documentary on UTube..."This landmark film by Paul Elston tells the incredible story of how it was the British who gave the Japanese the know how to take out Pearl Harbor and capture Singapore in the World War 2. For 19 years before the fall of Singapore in 1942 to the Japanese, British officers were spying for Japan. Worse still, the Japanese had infiltrated the very heart of the British establishment - through a mole who was a peer of the realm known to Churchill himself.This is a very rare documentary on the fall of Singapore in WW2 by BBC Two broadcasted in Northern Ireland only."
I have set up this site to support my research related to the events and personal stories concerning the fall of Singapore in February 1942. Specifically my interest relates to the evacuation of civilians and military personnel from Keppel harbour where most of the evacuation ships left from in the last days before Singapore capitulated to the Japanese. http://www.twitter.com/singapore1942 You can contact me on davidahope@gmail.com
