At no time in that write-up, which was done 20+ years ago, is it written that the Japanese were 'jungle experts'. It fact in no place in that write up about the Japanese was the word "expert" used
at all
None. So the entire post is built on a false statement
That is the "interpretation" of the write-up by the original poster. The phrase 'jungle experts' is not in the write up. What it says is "from 1941 the jungle training was also started"
Training does not = "expert" it just means they started jungle training a bit earlier than other armies.
As stated that write up was made 20+ years ago by the principal author(s) of the original DOS OOB.
As for the Japanese being "probably the best trained force in the world"..... any statement that starts with " probably" is an opinion and it is debatable ( though I have ZERO interest in debating it ) IIRC ( it
was 2 decades ago ) this was meant to mean at the start of the war and at the start of the war many allied nations had a lot of catching up to do which they did in time
