00:04Well, picture this.
00:05It is 1945 Myanmar and the Japanese have found themselves in a huge predicament.
00:12They are trapped by the British forces from all sides and are left with just two options.
00:18Die in battle or attempt a desperate escape through 10 miles of swamp water.
00:24But this was no ordinary swamp.
00:27It was home to the largest reptile on earth, the saltwater crocodile.
00:32As night fell and the soldiers stepped into the murky water, the swamp came alive.
00:38For hours, all the British forces heard were scattered rifle shots,
00:43thrashing water and screams of the Japanese getting clamped between crocodile jaws.
00:49A few soldiers managed to climb trees, hanging onto the branches until morning.
00:54Of the 1,000 men who entered the swamp, only 20 were found alive,
00:59rescued by the very enemy they were trying to flee.
01:03Please stay pressure off and what they was afraid of if they were alone.
01:08The eye of the水 bueno behaves inside the swamp,
01:13they第三叩 times in the sea,
