And we were out killing “Japs” and “Krauts”.
That’s the way it is when you’re trying to dehumanize your enemy in order to make killing them easier.

Based on some of the things I've read, I'd say the Japanese did a pretty good job of dehumanizing themselves.

Forced slave-labor, prisoner attrocities, etc. They were the ones wildly mistreating their enemies, both soldier and civilian.
