My paternal Grandfather's brother-in-law was taken prisoner by the Japanese during WWII. Although he was completely averse to speaking about his time in captivity, his wife (my Great Aunt) would, on occasions, relate to us some of his experiences. The war left him with the most enduring hatred of all things Japanese, even to the point where he refused to eat rice for the remainder of his life.
It is often said that those returning from war display little interest in talking about their experiences. It isn't too difficult to understand why, and not just those who spent time as PoWs.
