James Bradley mentioned a incident in his book where the Japanese lured a group of medics and a few marines ashore under the pretext of being cut off and wanting to surrender.

The Japanese butchered them

wonder if steven spielberg will mention that.

The Goettge Patrol.

Bradley also mentioned what happened to a friend of his who was taken prisoner by Japanese on Iwo Jima.

Both sides were reduced to brutal behavior. The difference is the Japanese institutionalized such behavior, on our side it was an anomaly.
