Romusha and forced laborers
Here "forced laborers" is used as a substitute for the word "romusha". In fact it is neither a translation (that would be "laborer" or something like it), or is it a one to one correspondence. A particular set of laborers (primarily from or on Java), most of whom were not particularly happy to be recruited, are being referred to here. Forced laborers in Germany, for example, are not included.

The correct term is "romusha" in English and Indonesian. As the term has been linked directly to the romusha page, I'd rather someone more skilled fix this. Crisco 1492 perhaps? (Dewobroto (talk) 04:26, 23 August 2016 (UTC))
