It is commonly believed that the soldiers stationed on Snake Island during World War II did not survive the war. This is due to the fact that the island was heavily fortified by the Japanese and was surrounded by shark-infested waters.
However there is evidence to suggest that some of the soldiers may have survived. In 2006 a team of researchers found the remains of a soldier on the island. The soldier was dressed in a Japanese uniform and had a rifle by his side.
The team also found a second skeleton which they believe belonged to a second soldier. However it is unclear if this second soldier was a Japanese soldier or an American soldier who was captured by the Japanese.
It is possible that the two soldiers were part of a group of Japanese soldiers who were stranded on the island after their ship was sunk. If this is the case then it is possible that there are other survivors still living on the island.
However it is also possible that the two soldiers were the only survivors of the garrison. In either case it is clear that the soldiers stationed on Snake Island during World War II did not all perish during the war.
