“This book was very well researched and the testimony of the survivors to the atrocities of the Japanese was gut wrenching to read.”
It doesn’t seem like a topic discussed often, but the Americans did bring a large number of Japanese war criminals to justice after the war.
I’m not sure how many Japanese were hanged after trials - several thousand if I remember correctly.
And many thousands of others refused to surrender and were killed in combat.
The Japanese are considered allies now, and I guess they are - but during WWII they were a bad lot.
Two answers to how many Japs were sentenced to death for war crimes after World War II.
1) Just under 1000.
2) Not enough.
“I’m not sure how many Japanese were hanged after trials...”
Let’s just say that “there’s a little nip in the air this morning” had special meaning.
