The story

At the end of the Second World War on Ambon Island, Australian troops liberate a prisoner-of-war camp and are told by the survivors that their Japanese captors had engaged in systemic beatings, torture, and executions. Shortly thereafter, a large mass grave of beheaded Australian prisoners is found in the forest outside the camp. The camp commander, Captain Ikeuchi, denies all knowledge of the killings by simply repeating "I know nothing of any executions".
