Original Title: TIL of 'rubber soldiers' - Brazilians conscripted by their government during World War II to harvest rubber in the Amazon for the war effort. Approximately 30,000 died from rough conditions and disease - more than the total number of solders Brazil sent to fight overseas during the war.
