The cannon of the japanese troops on Sabang Island, Aceh, Indonesia.
Hi mate steemit ..
how are you all, may you all in good condition all, this time i will show some picture relics of war aceh during japan occupation.
As we know together Sabang Island is one of the most strategic places in the world, therefore many ships from all over the world at that time often lean on the port of sabang.
The outbreak of world war in 1942 had a major impact for the Japanese invasion in Indonesia, the Japanese forces made Sabang Island as a place of air defense from the western region.
Its precise position at the intersection between the Indian Ocean and the Malacca Strait makes it an ideal stopover point for commodity exchange traffic from Europe, India and the Middle East with East Asia.
Once occupied by Japan, there was an extraordinary bombing by the allies against the island of Sabang, resulting in heavy damage to the port of Sabang.
Therefore, many Japanese troops established underground bunker and above the hill facing directly into the ocean of the Indian Ocean, these bunkers are equipped with guns, which still intact until now as a relic of war, one of which there is bunker area of the anoe itam.
Thus a glimpse of the history of the aceh war on Sabang Island, keep the spirit of your day and have a nice day.
