Comments by "ODDBALL SOK" (@oddballsok) on "How effective were Indian troops in WW2? TIKhistory" video.
While many of the KNIL indo soldiers deserted after the first fighting encounter with the japanese (and thus were seen to be NOT reliable..as they in majority felt for a form of indonesian independence..)..the same thing didnt happen in India... oh no..it DID happen in MALAYA where LOTS and LOTS of indians all too easily gave up , deserted..etc. and hoped fpor a japanese support for the indian independence... Now the many anglofile history books do not mention this or delve deeper in this..just "indians performed poorly...under poor british command"...but a WILL to fight/resist is not ONLY dependable on good luck and good leadership.. the only difference between the malice of the dutch KNIL forces desertions and that of the indians in Malaya is that the indians DID give a good fight while the hours seem to give them the belief the defense worked...but once the masses of jap bombers, artillery and tanks rolled in, they just the same gave up on the british imperium, only too happy to surrender to the japs.

21:00 huh ? the indians had PREWAR training and SKILLS in NIGHT ATTACKS ?!??! And during the 1941-1942 MAlaya campaign..they got their arses kicked...because "the japanese were SKILLFULL in penetrating through jungles AT NIGHT..while the british(indians incl) LACKED this skill"......
