The war, the people, the crime, the cover-up, and finally the
truth. An engaging book revealing the shocking truth of the Kavieng
Massacre in March 1944. During the push southward in the Pacific by
the Japanese during World War II, a large group of expa-triate
Australian men and German Catholic mission-aries were trapped on
New Ireland, many interned by the Japanese in September 1942 at
Kavieng. They disappeared without trace in March 1944. The
Australian Government commenced a largely secret enquiry into the
fate of these missing civilians, dis-covering that all the Kavieng
internees had been secretly murdered by their captors. The Japanese
naval officers responsible for the Kavieng massacre elaborately
concealed their embarrassing crime to mislead Australian
investigations. This concealment was successful and delayed
revelation of the truth until 1947.
