    On the 15th February 1942, the British surrendered the island of Singapore to the Japanese.

    85,000 British, Australian, Indian and local troops were taken prisoner.

    It was the largest ever surrender in the history of the British army and fatally undermined the British Empire in Asia and the Pacific region.

    Many thousands of those prisoners would die in camps before the war finished.

    So seeing as the British outnumbered their attackers by 2:1, how did this disaster come about?

    And how much was the British commander, Lt. General Percival responsible for this defeat?
