I have always been fascinated with WW2, I have gone across Europe to visit famous battlefields and recently I have been going to the Pacific to visit Japanese-held islands.

Big mistake.

You see, some islands the Japanese occupied have not really been, cleaned up.

Peleliu for example.

I don't mean things like artillery, tanks and caves and buildings, I like it when previous battlefields are left the way they where 70 years ago to protect its historical significance.

But, if you exit the tourist route, you can see some creepy shit.

I exited the route when I arrived in Peleliu island last week, in a search to find a cave system that the Japanese used during the invasion of peleliu.

I found one, but the problem was no one else had.

Inside I counted 5 corpses, perfectly preserved possibly from the coolness of the cave and because of the low oxygen compared to the outside world. Their uniforms, equipment and insignia where still intact. And it seemed that it was a mass suicide, to avoid imprisonment. Obviously not very nice. I was struck with fear and still have nightmares.

However, I told the locals and now the bodies are being sent back to Japan.

I kinda feel good for that.
