Capt. S. C. Carter of Australia, who helped rehabilitate Australian POWs in Britain, said the Japanese are far tougher than the Germans. He noted Japanese use noises to intimidate and that they fear noise themselves, while his companions called the Japanese fanatical fighters, clever in jungle and open-field fighting, though very foolish in retreat.
