My father was in prison camp in Manila and he told me that the Japanese did
some pretty horrific things. One of them was to make prisoners dig their own
graves, shoot them and then bury them while still alive. He also saw
behedings so your story is most probably true. Im not sure where you can go
to locate more info there but I have a book that might have some reference
in it. Let me look and Ill get back to you.
