The Invasion of the Netherlands East Indies (16th Army)
Abstract
This monograph is one of a series prepared under instructions from the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers to the Japanese Government (SCAPIN No. 126,1l2 Oct 1945). The series covers not only the operations of the Japanese armed forces during World War II but also their operations in China and Manchuria which preceded the world conflict. The original studies were written by former officers of the Japanese Anny and Navy under the supervision of the Historical Records Section of the First (Army) and Second (Navy) Demobilization Bureaus of the Japanese Government. The manuscripts were translated by the Military Intelligence Service Group, G2, Headquarters, Far East Command. Extensive editing was accomplished by the Foreign Histories Division of the Office of the Military History Officer, Headquarters, United States Army Japan. Monograph No. 66 deals with the Java Operation beginning with a brief account of the operations just prior to the invasion and the favorable disposition of the Japanese forces. It then tells of the short successful campaign and the capitulation of the Allied forces.
