My Grandad on my mother's side was a Japanese prisoner of war. He died when I was around 7, I'm 45 now. I really wish I could have had a chat with him as an adult about his experience. I remember as a kid he used to talk Japanese to me and my friends. Let us not forget what this generation went through.

I worked with an older person who said that the 2 Atomic Bombs were a crime - it should have been 20. The more I learn of the Japanese the more I agree with him. Sandakan - a P.O.W. camp with 2,500 Allied soldiers in 1942 but in 1945 only 6 Australians who had escaped were the only survivors.

I was told by a paitient of a doctor in Cranfield in 1977 that if the doctor thought someone was 'faking' he would show that perso scars on his shoulders where bamboo had grown through him when he was a PoW.

Thank you for providing this information. So many thing I was not aware of

The SS were terrifyingly well organized and deliberate in their horrors. The Kempitai were terrifying because there were no rules, they could do as they damn well pleased and face no consequences.

[@RisingTidesAC]

So, are we to believe that these people have changed so much in 80 years?

Three Came Home, Factories of Death, The Prisoners of the Japanese, The Bridge on the River Kwai. .. More than for any information, torture was for Bushido, an elitism, racism, and sadism practiced by most Japanese soldiers. Aside from the cultural flavor, Japanese cruelty was much like any cruelty, military or not. Pound for pound, the Japanese were exceeded only by the Romans, with their love of violent unfair death.

Can you please do the invasion of Rabaul, the Tol Plantation massacre, and the sinking of the Montevideo Maru.

[@johnengland8619]

Thanks again for the content

[@user-ob1oi7kn2w]

Thats why USA dropped the Bomb

[@gofoats]

That, and we did not want to lose that many of our soldiers and kill that many of the Japanese trying to take the home islands. The Emperor was still a god to the Japanese, and they would not hesitate to die for a god.

Hey! I didn't realize the Japaneze had M16s in ww2.

[@MovalPhotos]

While the narrator is describing water torture performed by the Japanese, at 2:32 into the video an image appears with the caption "Water Torture Was used by the Japanese". The picture is from the Vietnam war. Note the M16 rifles, that were not developed until after WW2. I don't know who the torture victim is, probably Viet Cong or North Vietnamese Regular Army, but the people performing the torture are with the 1st Calvary division. Note the patch on the left shoulder of the person in the middle. That's a 1st Cav Patch.

Big frigging deal. Do you want to know the brutality of the Viet Cong? The NVA? I'll tell you. Pungi sticks. Bamboo cut and tapered to a sharp point. Then dipped in feces, arranged in high brush areas, so when an unsuspecting Marine or GI happened to stumble upon them, he was impaled with a diseased bamboo "spike". So don't whine and whimper and use that "Nurse Nancy" crap,"ohh, an M-16! Wah wah sob sob. Those bastards had a shitload of brutality to dish out to us. And wow be it to be a pilot. Want to know the torture Sen. John McCain was given? Check it out in his bio. Then come back and say we were the brutes. Wanker

[@mr.samurai901]

The rampant use of methamphetamine by the Japanese military undoubtedly helped increase their barbarity. The German military had given up the use of meth after the early campaigns , as it led to psychosis and addiction. The Japanese actually saw this frenzied tweaked out state as being something good, and continued to issue and use methamphetamine for the duration of the war.

[@earthscannz5563]

guess who turned "waterboarding" into a respectable means of discipline? foo essay

[@lynnhartman8180]

It's always people like you who just love to pop into the chat with this excrement. Do you honestly think that justifies death camps, war crimes and sickening cruelty? Let me guess. You're a college student, right?

[@bkb04g]

I find your 2nd strong thank you a little excessive ha

[@kkupsky6321]

Hey how dare you. The emperor is infallible and why did we allow them to keep him? You what’s brutal? Russian ships at Tsushima.

[@4catsnow]

The civilian population of japan had no idea the behavior of their military, relative to prisoners of war and non combatants had galvanized American's into holding the entire japanese race accountable..That attitude exposed homeland japan to hysterical danger..which manifested itself over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.......

[@stanleybest8833]

No. Japanese society was split right down the middle about Bushido and exploit.

[@anthonymullen6300]

[@Bubabean0805]

You cheeky little monkey 🤣

[@user-xh3lz9xt4l]

We as allies won the WWII but lost the peace

[@RichardDevereauxEarlofEssex]

As an Army Vet, we were taught that if capture was inevitable through injury or other dier situations =, suicide was the best option, taking as many enemies as you could with you.
