[@cosibuster9738]

Referring to the last image, Allied prisoners of war were subject to beatings, beheadings and other forms of murder, starvation, death marches and were even subject to experiments in surgery without anesthesia. The Japanese treatment of their prisoners was inhumane, brutal and disgraceful.

[@nigelmcquinlan1887]

You are quite correct, they ( Japanese Army Navy Airforce) were ' sanctioned savages' - stop. That picture was taken on board the USS Missouri (or sister ship) in 1945 He was a Japanese naval aviator whose kamikaze missed that very ship and he survived the impact and was retrieved by the crew ( undoubtedly whilst stunned from the impact into the sea) He was stripped naked to ensure he ad no weapons and was consciously vulnerable whilst he was made to clean himself up. HE WAS A NOVLETY ( living captured Japanese Kamikaze Aviator) consequently whilst under guard - EVERBODY whom was not on duty, came up to see the (LIVE) Enemy out of sheer curiosity - I speculate. NOTE the guy mid photo (2 m back from the observing Officers) with a Base ball Bat - JUST -IN-CASE 'Tojo' went all samurai and felt obliged to be an asshole. After all that effort and good luck, they wanted him alive!! So a Less- than Lethal BB Bat was preferred over a Colt 45. There is NO crime there, - Laws of Armed Conflict (LOAC) ALLOW that to; preserve the shock of capture, keep the POW disorientated and to ensure they have NO concealed weapons ( or as in GAZA Now - no IED Vests, etc.) they canned be stripped down under guard. If it were the Japanese ( and an Allied POW) they would have butchered him - absolute bastards. Ask ANY POW captured by the Japanese. Ask the millions of civilian s they murdered in Asia, Ask the forced prostitution woman were subjected too. Ask the Chinese in Nanking and Hong Kong.

My dad's best friend survived Bataan and the POW camps that were horrors and death traps. What Japan did to Allied troops was horrific and mostly hidden in the press during and after the war because it was just too terrible for the American people to digest.

It would be really nice if a real person read the script, at least he could pronounce the names properly. 18:02 The bombing of Dresden has always amazed me how there was a stink over this incident. This was nothing more than pay back for the equally senseless bombing of London where 43000 civilians lost their lives. . Might want to look at it that way. What comes around, goes around.

[@willowwood3384]

The last photo gets me too, "Inhumane treatment"? That Japanese POW was photographed on the deck of the ship he had just tried flying his plane into, if he wasn't pulled aboard and given the means to wash all the oil off himself chances are he would be at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. I hope generations of his family look back on that image, realising that's the day their blood line was saved.

[@hangar4851]

Compared to Dresden, Cologne, Hamburg, Fulda, the bombings of English cities were firecrackers. Hard to accept for many english, but that is fact. The night bombings of german cities took around 620.000 civilian lives. The cities had been destroyed up to 95 %. Including a vast annihilation of european cultural and scientific heritage. The effects of these retribution campaign led by Arthur Harris on german morale instead was around zero. Actually, the german fanatism had been heated up by the fire bombing raids. The day bombings of the US squadrons instead focussed on industry and military installations.

[@gwayne919]

I read a book about the destruction of Dresden and several more written by American POWs who were sent into the city to clean out cellars full of dead people and the corpses were only small black logs unrecognizable as human remains. They didn't have time for burial because of the numbers of bodies and stacked the bodies and cremated them and most of the time reliable numbers were not kept, but it's estimated that with the refugees from the east fleeing the Russian Bear and the military transiting through the city that it was entirely possible that more than 350,000 to over 400,000 people perished in the firestorms that the British and American air forces bombed over several days as a request from the Russian government to eliminate the German Vermacht as a cooperative measure. The Russians lost many millions of people and military to the Nazis and the governments of Britain and the US were more than obligated to do as Stalin requested. It's quite another matter that Stalin ended up just as crazy as Hitler was, but I am sure that we suspected as much when they signed up to divide Poland between them and not invade each other and then Stalin began the Cold War with the Iron Curtain. I was impressed when it all came down when Communism failed circa 1990. It's sad that ex-KGB Putin wants to reassemble post war Russia and the shit is again hitting the wall and upsetting lives in many eastern European countries, but at least we have NATO alliance and our resources to supply Ukraine and they are the forces that are doing the fighting.

[@billko9201]

Isn't it strange that so little is said about the anti-aggression patch that Hitler and Stalin signed during the early years of WWII? Hitler, who most likely never intended to keep that pact, but only entered into it in order to keep Stalin at bay. When it was seemingly to Hitler's advantage, he double crossed Stalin. But, Hitler, a Corporal and message runner during WWI, being the brilliant tactician that he was, picked the worst possible time to attack Russia. Eisenhower, brilliant tactician that he was held up Patton allowing the Russians to enter Berlin, causing the E/W divide of Berlin and Europe. That was instrumental in many lives lost and the Cold War. On a positive note, Ike brought the idea of the Interstate Highway system to the USA after seeing the German Autobahn.

[@gwayne919]

I became acquainted with Kenishiro Ooniki, a failed kamakasi pilot when he traveled to Houston in 1970. His son translated for us and it was not until much later that I realized exactly what the father was trying to say and the son was probably trying to sound like he was only a pilot for the Japanese air arm. Kenishiro's story can be found online. He was declared a traitor, sent to prison and forbad from flying more kamakasi missions after his plane developed engine trouble and he had to land before reaching our ships. If there was another version of the story I am not aware of it, but I don't doubt that some of the pilots had second thoughts about dying for the emperor and wanted to live, but sometimes they were escorted by a senior officer who ensured they all would serve honorably.

Re: inhumane treatment of Japanese POWs. I spoke with a WWII vet who had a friend that survived a Japanese POW camp. The friend reported watching another American POW being killed by having a samurai sword shoved thru his rectum into his body. Hearing that takes away some of my sympathy for Japan POWs.

[@Silverado1st]

My grandfather, rest his soul, was a 35 year navy veteran. When I was about 9 years old I came across a picture album on the living room table that had pictures of japanese soldiers buried up to there necks in concrete along what looked like a path to the sea shore, with allied soldiers defecating on them as they passed. Other pictures showed soldiers beheaded with the samurai swords and there heads displayed on the swords stuck in the dirt or the heads were placed between there spread legs at the crotch, one body was naked faced down and the head resting just above its ass. But what actually scared me the most was the god awful ear piercing yell my mom let out when she caught me looking at the book, and then the yelling at her father for leaving it out. My grandfather just said, he's only 9 years old, he doesn't understand what he's looking at and will probably forget about it by tomorrow. Little knowing of the photographic memory I had. I even remember the huge lion clawed feet that supported the table that the book was on. The feet that had killed one of my uncles at 2 yrs old after hitting his head. The uncle who's spirit was flying around his room, a converted breezeway entrance at the side of the house, the night me, my brother and mom spent in it at grandpa's when I was 8yrs old. I could even see his spirit coming at me with the covers over my head. Wasn't about to close my eyes right away because seriously how interesting is a sight like that, plus my mom was only one bed away from me. There were two other spirits dotting back and forth but they never came away from the cathedral ceiling.

Some objective perspective with this photo - this fellow having a wash ( Japanese Army Navy Airforce) were ' sanctioned savages' - stop. That picture was taken on board the USS Missouri (or sister ship) in 1945 He was a Japanese naval aviator whose kamikaze missed that very ship - and he survived the impact to be subsequently retrieved by the ships crew ( undoubtedly whilst stunned from the impact into the sea at the shallow angle - hence is lack of violent resistance) I am sure there is War film footage of his particular ( fortunately ) botched attack. He is being treated humanely In accordance with the Laws of Armed Conflict (LOAC)- Arguably more than he deserved. He was stripped naked to ensure he had no weapons and was 'consciously vulnerable' whilst he was made to clean himself up. HE WAS A NOVLETY ( living captured Japanese Kamikaze Aviator) consequently whilst under guard - EVERBODY whom was not on duty, came up to see the (LIVE) Enemy out of sheer curiosity - I speculate. NOTE the guy mid photo (2 m back from the observing Officers) with a Base ball Bat - JUST IN-CASE 'Tojo' went all samurai and felt obliged to be an asshole. After all that effort and good luck, they wanted him alive!! So a "Less-than-Lethal" BB Bat was preferred over a Colt 45 to subdue him (if required) There is NO crime there, - Laws of Armed Conflict (LOAC) ALLOW that to; preserve the shock of capture, keep the POW disorientated and to ensure they have NO concealed weapons ( or as in GAZA Now - no IED Vests, etc.) they canned be stripped down whilst under guard. i In a similar event, a Kamikaze hit the the USS Missouri causing negligible structural damage, - But the pilots body (reportedly most of it intact! ) was recovered, the Captain stopped the corpse just being tossed over the side and had a formal burial at sea with Military Honors conducted . Controversial at the time - but it reinforced the Moral Code of Conduct in the best traditions of the US ( and Allied Forces) Much Kudos to the Captain for doing so. Brought much respect to the vessel and crew - and distinguished the Allies from the savages they were fighting. If it were the Japanese ( and an Allied POW) they would have butchered him - as they WERE absolute bastards. Ask ANY POW captured by the Japanese. Ask the millions of civilian s they murdered in Asia, Ask the forced prostitution woman were subjected too. Ask the Chinese in Nanking and Hong Kong.
