A brutal reminder of how extreme the Japanese Imperial Army was
The Imperial Japanese Army and Navy (which I want to stress were disbanded and no longer exist) were one of the most evil organizations in human history.
I remain convinced the Empire of Japan is the most evil regime in human history and worse than Nazi Germany in terms of pure cruelty. Their atrocities just aren't talk about much anymore because Japan is so
well liked now in the West. The indiscriminate massacre of civilians. Slaughter of entire cities, torture, inhumane treatment of POWs, countless women forced into sexual slavery, among others.
Over their conquest of East Asia, the Japanese Army forced around 200,000 women into the ranks of 'comfort women". These women mainly came from China, Korea, and the Philippines. This is the only thing l could not find a source for, but I distinctly remember reading the firsthand account of a Filipino comfort women who was raped 10x a day. Japan has yet to even officially apologize to them.
On thecontrary, there was an uproar in Japan when the South Korean prime minister asked for an apology for Japan. They were angry that Koreans would even bring it up..You think that's the worst? During the Rape of Nanking, as many as 300,000 Chinese civilians were massacred within a month in a single city. Japanese soldiers paraded around with babies skewered on their bayonets like kebabs.
Two Japanese officers held a competition to see who could behead 100 people the fastest and when the score was 105-106 and no one knew who got to 100 first, they went again to 150. Civilians were buried alive en masse. Prisoners were used as live bayonet practice, screaming as the final moments of their life was used for the Japanese to sadistically torment.
Tens of thousands of women were raped, most of whom were executed afterward. They dragged entire
Chinese families into public squares and forced fathers on their daughters and sons on their mothers
for the amusement of Japanese troops. I'm not an easily disturbed guy, but reading this fact for the first
time physically made my stomach sick.
You think that's the worst? The Imperial Japanese Army ran Unit 731:a state-of-the-art biological/ chemical warfare research facility in Manchuria where Japanese researchers performed human
experimentation on a large scale, using Chinese civilians as the majority of their "logs" (test subjects)
Living humans were dissected alive, usually without anesthesia. Subjects had limbs amputated in order to study blood loss and pain tolerance. Those limbs were sometimes reattached to the opposite sides of the body. Subjects had their stomachs or esophagus surgically removed.
Subjects were gotten pregnant via rape then infected with diseases to see the effect on their baby. Subjects were forced into the cold to research frostbite then had their frozen limbs chopped off. Subjects were placed in pressure chambers until their eyeballs popped out of their sockets.
This one is unconfirmed, but supposedly they placed a women and her baby in a room then
heated up the floor to see if she'd step on her own baby. Perhaps the most disturbing part about it all that
Japanese soldiers were enjoying it; they were killing for sport. Everyone cries over the civilians of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but no one sheds a tear for the milions of victims of the Empire of Japan.
I had spent 30 minutes linking sources to back up literally everything I said up here, but every time I tried to include the proof, it was removed. I wonder why. And it's disappointing because I promise you this clunky, colorless wall of essay-like text hits 1000x harder when you actually visually see the victims of Imperial Japan; the mountains of bodies, lifeless babies, the terrified/depressed expressions on civilians' faces contrasted by the grins on the Japanese soldiers faces as they torment them. What a shamne.
President George Bush Sr. almost got caught by the island guards of Chichi Jima before being rescued last minute by an American ship, talk about a close call.
They did this in PNG too, my great grandad saw his crewmen strung up in trees like a butcher shop. They ram out of supplies though and had
no idea how to hunt or gather from the forest. Grandad lived on forest berries/plants and Couscous
In addition, they forced the North Vietnamese farmers to repurpose rice fields in order to grow jute. This and several other culprits led to
the Vietnamese famine of 1945, in which up to 2,000,000 people lost their lives.
Policy of the forced planting of jute, castor and peanuts instead of rice and other staple crops One of the activities of the Japanese army in the years 1940-1945 that resulted in heavy and enduring consequences for Vietnamese people was "to force the Vietnamese people to remove rice and farm-produced crops to plant jute, castor, etc. in order to make the material to manufacture bags to
.243 Japanese Agricultural Policy toward Vietnam during World War lIl hold rice and oil which were lacking in the war" (Trần Huy Liệu, Nguyên Lương Bích, Nguyễn Khắc Đạm 1957: 82). According to Minami Yoshizawa in "Asian War in Our Subconscious" the reason why the Japanese
army forced the Vietnamese people to plant jute was because "jute bags in Indochina were previously provided by India, but now they were not imported from India anymore, so the development of the jute industry here was an urgent problem that needed to be addressed. "Jute bags which were used to transport materials in the 'East Asian Commonwealth' were becoming
practical problems. Therefore, our country (Japan) needed more supplies from Indochina in order to reach its/her quota of 30 thousand tons of jute. Indochina, at that time, had an output of 500 tons. We (the Japanese) needed to put up 30 thousand tons in the 5-year plan. Meanwhile in Taiwan, production of jute was 12 thousand tons. We also had plans to increase production to 30 thousand
tons in the 5-year plan. Thus, it was understandable that
there was great hope for Indochina.
This is why some nations like China and Korea hate Japan so much. You literally still have people alive right now that underwent the atrocities the Japanese committed.
