Описание: During the final stages of WWII in Burma, the Imperial Japanese Army faced a brutal choice: surrender to the British or retreat through 10 miles of dark, muddy mangroves. They chose the swamp. But Ramree Island was the natural habitat of thousands of saltwater crocodiles—the largest reptiles on the planet.

Official reports from the Royal Navy and naturalist Bruce Wright describe a night of "hellish cacophony," where rifle shots were drowned out by screams as the soldiers were hunted in the dark.

In this episode of The Ashborn Archive, we open the file on "Operation Matador" and the biological nightmare that followed. Was it a massacre of 1,000 men, or a war legend exaggerated by time?
