Japanese Conquest of Malaya & Singapore, 1941-42
Japanese Conquest of Malaya & Singapore, 1941-42 - By Gerald F Pillay1 Introduction Those with an historical or military bent will find this document a comprehensive reprise of the subject, perhaps even overladen with detail. Its value is that the information is not elsewhere found in one place. For the adept I have left in fascinating detail about the re-occupation of Malaya and Singapore, ie Operation Zipper and Operation Tideface, etc. The casual reader may skip much of the document, and only go by the headings. The brave will find that the following annexes provide much for additional digestion: Annex A Air Defence Deployment - 8 Dec 41 Annex B Battle Order - 8 Dec 41 Annex C Map of Japanese Invasion of Malaya 1941-42 Annex D Map of Battle of Singapore, 1942. “Malaya Command” was the term used to describe the defence sector of Malaya and Singapore under a single Commanding Officer. I keep to it for convenience. I have retained the original names of peoples, places and events for historical authenticity. This document is put together from information on the Internet. All sources are given, and are hereby acknowledged. Imperial Defence Strategy2 In the 1920s, the British Imperial geopolitical thinking evolved along the following lines. The most probable enemy in the East was Japan. The main targets to be defended were Australia, New Zealand and British Malaya. Of the last, Singapore would be the prize target. The launch base would be Japan. An air offensive was out of reach. The threat was essentially naval. And finally, distance provided insulation of about 180 days to the actual arrival of any invasion forces. -
