Balak Island

About

Balak Island (Malay: Pulau Balak) is an island located near Banggi Island in the Kudat Division on Sabah, Malaysia. This island is uninhabited, but it is known that in 1946, during the war between the United States and the Empire of Japan, a small number of Japanese soldiers were stationed on the island, and a military camp and airstrip was presumably located there. Local legends claim that the island houses a secret bunker in which Hitler hid after the Third Reich's defeat in the war, but this information is unconfirmed.
