Only ten? And Japan has never acknowledged them nor have they apologized for them.
The Japanese Killed more Chinese than the Nazis did Jews—using bio weapons and murder. 24 Million is a low estimate. It was WAR, and war is Hell.
There was no mention except obliquely to the concentration camps that held American civilians.
Some dismiss the idea, some have pretended we were far worse, but most people don't know just how true my characterization of that group is.
It's a sad deviation from historical fact that most don't know.
This one didn’t make the list:
A gruesome display at the newly-opened museum at Kyushu University explains how eight US POWs were taken to the centre’s medical school in Fukuoka after their plane was shot down over the skies of Japan in May 1945.
There, they were subjected to horrific medical experiments - as doctors dissected one soldier’s brain to see if epilepsy could be controlled by surgery, and removed parts of the livers of other prisoners as part of tests to see if they would survive.
Another soldier was injected with seawater, in an experiment to see if it could be used instead of sterile saline solution to help dehydration. All of the soldiers died from their ordeal.
The horrific episode has been described in previous books, one by a Japanese doctor who took part in the experiments, but the museum represents an official acknowledgement of the atrocity
When the incidents came to light during a discussion with professors in March, the university decided to include information about the experiments within their new museum.
About twelve airmen - the exact number is unclear - were aboard Captain Marvin Watkins’ B-29 when it took off from Guam on a bombing raid against an airfield in Fukuoka.
They all bailed out when their aircraft was rammed by a Japanese fighter.
One was killed when another Japanese fighter flew into his parachute. Local residents converged on the surviving airmen as they landed- one emptied his pistol at the crowd before shooting himself dead, another was stabbed to death by locals.
Of the remaining airmen Captain Watkins was taken for interrogation and survived the war, he is believed to have died in Virginia in 1989. The rest died during the horrific vivisection experiments.
[ Only ten? And Japan has never acknowledged them nor have they apologized for them. ]
Which is bad, they should acknowledge them.
But I ask you one question comparing Germany and Japan.
Which country today is importing Mooselimb savages en-masse out of “War Guilt”?
Japan is not importing throwbacks and in fact is very strict about allowing Islam into their country.
In 100 year there may be fewer Japanese due to declining demographics, but they were still be a Japanese Culture but the German Culture will be in shambles.
We may have gone too far brow beating Germany over their atrocities building up an internalized cultural guilt that is leading to their cultural suicide.
We should Demand Japan apologize more, but there is a limit to what can be expected and not destroy a culture, just look at Germany.
Whatever MacAurthur did in Japan post war had better results than what was done in Germany in term of their ling term cultural survival.
Maybe the fact that Germany more or less somewhat elected and chose the NAZI to rule them, vs. the Japs already having an Emperor and run away military in that the Civilians were more “victims” of their OWN government than the Germans???? Maybe...
