“You are very right. The Japanese were absolute monsters to POWs and civilians.”
Unless you were one of the targeted groups, POWs had a better chance of surviving captivity by the Nazis.
33 percent of American POW died in Japanese hands. 1.19 percent of American POW died in German hands.
1% of all Allied prisoners of war died as a result of German captivity.
36% of all Allied prisoners help captive by the Japanese died as a result of their captivity.
The Japs were bastards.
