The final battles for the possession of
Java fought by Allied Air, Naval and Land forces from 18th
February to 7th March, 1942. The generally accepted idea is that
the Allies were ineffective in their fight against the Japanese
invaders. In fact the Japanese suffered serious losses. Japanese
commanders consciously took steps that exposed their forces to
great risk, however the tactic succeeded in putting the Allies
under great pressure. In the end the Royal Netherlands East Indies
Army (KNIL) and the allied forces capitulated on 8th March.
