Tomoyuki Yamashita, the so called ‘tiger of Malaya’ during WW2, according to history books is the one who transported lots of valuable goods and items from the Southeast Asian countries to the Philippines and some in Japan before the end of WW2. According to the book written by Sterling Seagrave and Peggy Seagrave, that thousand of gold has been transferred from Singapore defense base of the Japanese Army to the Philippines and some back to Japan.
But according to some analyse, “By 1943 the Japanese were no longer in control of the seas… It doesn’t make sense to bring in something that valuable here(Philippines) when you know it’s going to be lost to the Americans anyway. The more rational thing would have been to send it to Taiwan or China.”
To me some of it is a myth, but only half truth. Some of them could be valuable but not necessarily gold for that matter. How can one ship or a battle ship would bring lots of gold during a war to another place only be sunk by Americans.
