"Why are there boxes of loot stashed in every random cave around this island?" Yamashita put them there.

Unlike the hatred between two nations like Serbia and Albania where little kids of both are indoctrinated from young ages that the others are evil. Also, there are a ton of interesting stories that could get a lot of kids more involved in history like heroic battles, unlikely allies, etc. My three favourites of specifically war history of all time: - The christmas truce 1914/WWI - 588th night bomber regiment (Soviet, WWII) - Witold Pilecki (Auschwitz, inmate 4859, WWII) Witolds Report: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold%27s_Report

@@AlTheWombat I suppose it's not evidently that kids learning about war crimes at young age would have substantial different responses, but if adults can have such drastic reactions, I don't think it is affordable to do a gamble on it until an educating formula can be found to lecture about these kinds of things. And yes, there's a lot more to history than war crimes, at least a major part of it are taught down and the rest are optionally pursuitable for people with passions.

In Jr. High a teacher of mine told us what her husband had endured as a POW in a Japanese Camp. What was horrifying was the prisoners weren't given food or at least rarely. Her husband and other POWs ate human waste to assuage the pain of hunger. As far as I'm concerned all sides did unnecessary and unspeakable things to enemy combatants whether they were being held in POW camps or not. Civilians who were loyal American Citizens were rounded up and held in (internment camps) but were in fact concentration camps by a nicer name on U.S. soil and not treated as if they were actually enemies without proof. Timely and appropriate medical was almost non existant. After the war many found the property they'd owned prior to the war had been confiscated and sold. I am not sure if any of them were compensated for the losses or if they just had to start from scratch. Like I stated all sides in all wars have done unspeakable things to those they called enemy. In fact the expansion of the original 13 colonies came at the expense of the lives of not just healthy young men who fought for their tribes but the elderly and young children and their mothers were attacked in villages and hiding places. For the longest time the U.S. Government framed the expansion as a great effort battling savages who fought to hold on to their territorial areas. The movie Avatar explains it simply. When someone has something you want. Just call them savages not worth caring about anything.

[@danielpark7821]

Thank you for touching base on Japanese War Crimes. Being Japanese myself I never believed any of the stories told by my non Japanese friends about Japanese war crimes in WW2 and dismissed it as propaganda. Our textbooks in Japan have no mention of it or completely embellish them. For example growing up we were taught that “comfort women” weren’t forced but volunteers who “handsomely” were paid by the Imperial Army. We were also taught that the Rape of Nanking, comfort women (women forced into sexual slavery by imperial japan), and other war crimes were embellishments created by the Chinese, Korean, and other former colonial governments out of jealousy for Japans economic growth following ww2. We often made obscene jokes about it during class and my fellow classmates would laugh along. It wasn’t until later in life that I decided to conduct a more objective investigation. Needless to say I’m greatly ashamed of my younger and immature self all those years ago. It worries me for future fellow Japanese generations as politicians are looking to erase such embellishments even further. Just recently in 2021 Japanese textbooks will no longer mention comfort women or the rape of Nanking as being associated with the Japanese military in WW2. History is riddled with embarrassment for every civilization that has ever existed. Erasing such memories only dooms humanity to repeat the same mistakes perpetually. It seems in the current global geopolitical climates the musings of war and paranoia are accelerating this trend.

@@surfingbrrrdLies. He had executed many Japanese soldiers for disobeying the orders aforementioned. You don't disobey a Japanese General's orders without severe repercussions. Besides, most Allied judges in trial were quite sympathetic to General Yamashita except for one big name, General MacArthur who had vetoed all rule in favor of sparing Yamashita from hanging. The reason for this would most likely be attributed to General Yamashita's massive success against MacArthur's forces in the Philippines, which utterly embarrassed MacArthur and our country's history. This battle would be and still is our country's worst defeat in warfare since our inception.

[@user-pn3im5sm7k]

There are other Japanese generals with honorable records such as General Kuribayashi and General Matsui, with similar orders as General Yamashita.

Great Uncle William Lee McMillan, Company M, 4th Marine Regiment, surrendered on Corregidor in 1942. He survived nearly three years as a POW of the Japanese. At least in body and just barely. Malaria paralyzed him from the waist down. Ulcers in his eyes rendered him virtually blind. He was rescued at Bilibid Prison, Manila in 1945 by the US Buckeye Infantry Division. Through intense physical therapy and surgery he was able to recover some of his sight and could shuffle walk by the time he was discharged. Needless to say, he was rated as permenantly disabled. His time home was not good. He couldn't hold a job. His physical and mental disabilities drove him to drink. He was married briefly, and had a son. Tragically the boy died less than a year later and the marriage ended in a divorce. Then to add to his woes, his nephew, my grandfather, came home with a Japanese bride! That split the family horribly. Many treated Grandma either coldly or with outright hostility. One relative called my father, an baby at the time, "That J@p boy." Strangely enough, Uncle Bill was another exception. According to Grandma, he never had anything mean to say to her. Never raised his voice or even blame her for what happened to him, but he wouldn't stay in the room with her for very long. Uncle Bill died in 1976, at the age of 64. The offical cause of death was heart failure, but we know it stemmed from his captivity. Part of him is still in the Philippines.

Yet he knows to know the enemy. There's a big difference between assumptions and telling your own men to obey an order then trying to avoid accountability. Would you trust that? Future wars happen. People look back on history. How can they trust their leaders when there's always some backstabber and turn coat betraying their own troops? Compare that to someone that hides nothing. Wanting their enmies to know they're coming. And knowing that nothing can be done to stop them. Provided that turns out to be true then that's a much better example to set. One of bravery and courage. Or if not that at least honesty and responsability. People will follow a weak leader if they are honest. People won't follow a strong leader if they are a lying two faced coward that doesn't even admit what they do. And secrets always get revealed in the end. It might not be soon, but in the end it WILL get found out. That's when the troops of today smell blood in the water. Leading to rebellions and fighting your own.

The name Maison Centre as illustrated here is correct , it is transalted to Central House in vietnamese to create a diversion for people back then and back in 1945 only near 110 people escaped , all of those people later became marshalls and goverment officials of vietnam like lê duẩn , võ nguyên giáp .
