Japanese brutal killed and torture European POWS during the world war 2.


According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on 6th, the Far East fighting were more brutal than people think in world war 2, the British historian Max Hastings's book, "Revenge: Fight to Japan (1944-1945) ", disclosed the Western Allies what a shock after discovered the Japanese abuse European POWS.
That was January 1945, the British Army 14th Division across the border to Mandalay, Myanmar, In a victory, they found a lot of evidence that the Japanese abuse of prisoners. some British soldiers had been stripped of boots, with wire wrapped around a tree upside down, cool beaten to death. This is further stimulated the British hatred of the Japanese soldiers. In the UK, the Japanese proved to abuse POWS far beyond the battlefield. Those lucky to escape pows , tell about more extreme brutal Japanese abuse European POWS stories, and British politicians and officials fear the Japanese will be intensified retaliatory torture those European POWS who are still in their hands. Don't let these scandals completely exposed.
In 1942, the famous "Bataan Death March", many of U.S. POWS were killed, European pilots were brutally beheaded, the U.S. government hide for several months before the witness's testimony was public . Allied officials reluctant to admit situation so bad, until January 1945, a so-called Foreign Affairs Committee concluded only in some remote areas have the phenomenon of abuse POWS.
Just a few weeks later, a large number UK and Australia POWS release from Myanmar and Philippinesthe , counter with their own
experience, At that time the officials involved in release of all POWS were shocked to their environment: where hunger prevails, disease prevalence, tens of thousands of prisoners died due to overwork, or because of minor breaches add to torture or beheading death. a quarter of POWS was be killed in Japanese prison camps. Japanese do exactly the same like Nazis do with Jews and Russian, but the United States, Britain and Australia publics are still very shocked, even in the situation at that time, can't understand Japanese flagrant violation of European human rights.
The begin of Pacific War, the Philippines, the Netherlands East Indies, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Myanmar and other places have been occupied by Japan army.Many Allied soldiers became Japanese prisoners . When the surrender prisoners were being detained in Manila, Singapore, Hong Kong or Rangoon waiting ruling, they absolutely didn't expect to the hell waiting for
them.A Japanese war correspondent who described the U.S. POWS he saw - "a group from the arrogant nation, they had to accept the Imperial Japanese military contempt. "When I see them, feel they are just a group of mixed hybrid offspring, had no dignity, and Japanese soldiers look handsome, I'm proud of myself as Japanese."
"Those who didn't eat were first batch of the dead," Paul Luolutesi corporal said, "I bury a lot of people look stronger than
I am, because I never refuse eat any thing. One time, Australian Peter Snow found an inch long maggot in foods.he just simply said:" a little beauty, go away. "" We have to imagine them as Christmas pudding, raisins, or What other good things.
A shipyard in Osaka, two hungry British POWS eat a big tub of lard, which is used to lubricate sewer, so prior to adding arsenic, two POWS so lost their lives.
Thomson in his private diary reads: "Every day we are a walking day by day. Drived to do this and that, I learned to had no any hope of life, no longer have any feelings."
Yangon Stephen Peter from Philip camp wrote: "We have become heartless, ruthless, people who often bet on who will next to die. Of course, must try to save the sick, but when the inevitable doom , only sadness no useful "
Who would not care about self-esteem. Prisoners will face own incompetence everyday. Rosen had seen Japan soldiers kicked USA POW into a toilet pit: "When you have to accept these things, you truly feel the taste of defeat."
Almost every European POWS in later years, watching their comrades had been beaten by Japanese soldiers. even been killed.
They feel ashamed about indifferent, They hate bowed to each Japanese soldier everday, no matter how low rank he is, slightly irreverent will provoke fatal disaster.
Japanese seem special hate for tall, Tall often must knee down to accept cane beaten and other penalties. One day, the pilot Fred Jackson worked on the coral island airport in Emu Bang Province.He saw the six UK officers were lined up , a Japanese officer, regardless any reason.Beat them down to the ground one by one.
Phenomenon of the Japanese abuse POWS can be seen everywhere, In addition, there are so many beheadings and stabbed to death phenomenon.Japanese so cruel treated Allied POWS. Japanese abused Allied prisoners of war are well known. Allied prisoners in war camp in Japan's dead rate was 30%, German and Italian prisoners in camp less than 5% dead rate.For most appear weakness in the battle of the Westerners, Japanese also more contempt for them and brutal torture European POWS.
 
I am a Chinese.May I ask a question? Beause Japan invade China in 1937,many Chinese soldiers and people die in the war. Still many Chinese people hate Japanese nowday.
How the European view the When Japanese soldiers kill them,abuse them? Are they very fear Japanese ? or very hate them?
I don't encourage hate crime, but I am very curiosity, These Japanese abuse European so cruel.
But USA take Japan as so-call the most important ally after world war 2. Are USA want use of Japan or other intention?
It's unimaginable for a Asia people!
 
west countries war with Japan, 100 008 USA soldiers dead in battle. plus non-combat dead, U.S. soldiers 130,008 dead in pacific war. Australian troops 17,000 die in battle. British troops 36,000 die in fighting, and other Western countries, more than 10,000 killed in battle.
Not include 50,000 India soldiers dead in battle, not including tens of thousands of Filipino soldiers and Malaysia soldiers,not include China expedition were killed in Myanmar. Japan killed western countries soldiers over more than 200,000 in pacific war.
Japanese land force 350,000 were killed in battle, Navy, 158000 were killed in battle.plus non-battle dead(strave,suicide,disease,wounded)Japan soldiers dead in pacific war about one million.
 
Bataan Death March

In the course of the death march, the Japanese humiliated European POWS as human can, they weren't considers POWS as human beings, In their view, these U.S. soldiers should battle to dead or suicide. then can get Japanese respect. Become POWS were greatest shame for soldiers.
Because suffering torture, even prisoners arrived at destination, large number USA POWS death or disability. The following story based on survivors, U.S. soldiers Allen tell us, he speak about death march with comrades experience.
Violence Objective: collect money and revenge
The Japanese soldiers escorting prisoners in march, looking for "souvenirs", not just U.S. soldiers' objects, if you see any American POWS who have something, especially money, they robbed. In the bloody battle of Bataan, U.S. soldiers will find Japanese items or coins as a souvenir from dead body. So when the Japanese soldiers found Japanese item from United States POWS, they will pull American POWS out, then never see them - Japanese think these American POWS killed their comrades.

Allen tough walk, even though his body strong, he could not withstand torment. The course of the march, there were wounded U.S. soldiers and Filipino civilians Feishi join the march. They all do their best to adhere, but only few people can keep up with team.Perhaps the sun very hot, Japanese are anxiety. They become more and more fierce, more and more terrible. If people who goes slowly, Japanese think just poke a bayonet assault,the pain was not enough. Now soldiers have a poke to kill POWS. About walk one kilometer again, Allen saw a Filipino soldier twist in the dust, his stomach has been hurted by the Japanese soldiers, like a bloody gourd. Allen vomit out. Slowly, he saw the bodies of POWS everywhere, they bloody, curled up, some open eyes, as if blessing his comrades "Good Luck." Allen getting used to misery. (continue.....)
 
"Clean Team" executed laggards
The prisoners were brought into a yard when sunset. Japanese say they will have something to eat, eat and sleep here. Alan sigh , his comrades Cote said: "Maybe we will feel better from now on." Ivory smile helplessly : "I hope so, at least we should eat some things. "Smoe people cooking rice, soy sauce and sausage, the smell towards me, POWS stomach began sounds. Alan excited be crazy. He imagined the smell of sausage slipped mouth. Suddenly, after a whistle, prisoners were ordered to line up. Japanese soldiers laugh and pick up sausage and rice filled with a large spoon ,show the POWS.
A Japanese Officers went in front of European POWS cursed: "We said something to eat, allow you sleep when you came here. Now the situation is different. We found pistols from three American officers. I punish you, not allowed to eat, must move on. "Allen's fantasy fallen, Japanese add some unproven crime to POWS. "In the initial search, even a toothbrush, shaving cream are let off, let alone a pistol. Even people who really hide the gun, according to Japanese habits,He should been pulled out to shot, killed or beheaded, in order to warning. "Allen thought.
Bataan Death March (part 3)
European POWS dragged his exhausted legs, with disappointment, pain and curse difficulty moving. Fortunately Japanese did not forbid them speak. They more or less encouraged each other. C?te apparently was extremely tired. Alan joked: "Hey, man, in a walk?" Cote said feebly: "I can't walk a kilometer oncemore.Allen said: "hey, I'm like you. But perhaps had something to eat. "They encouraged each other with difficult smile. And walked two or three kilometers, C?te goes slowly. Allen will slow down push him with a shoulder. Some people continue fall. Japanese "clean team" took them to solve.
At 9 o'clock, the Japanese drived prisoners to a courtyard for rest, full of courtyard, Allies POWS could not lie down. POWS have to stand.Ye Taihei, POWS didnt know where it is . Allen found a small bamboo platform, climb up sit down. From here he clearly saw outside Japanese soldiers, took a few large pot with the rice. He could see the fire and Japanese soldiers. He can smell cooking food. "Oh, great! Japanese to give us food." Allen naive think. He watched steam rising from the pot, waiting, the feeling of hunger very strong. But no one gave them meal. Allen sat on the bamboo platform slept.
The next morning, the long march went on. After walk a morning, the sun rise. Japanese command ALLIES POWS to rest. No shelter and no breeze, It was not rest, is a Japanese cruel penalty imposed on them - "exposure to sunburnt." Two hours of "exposure" of POWS, it'S the most brutal mental and physical torture. POWS wounds began worse, suppuration, face and body skin begins burn, people anxious. POWS become more and more insane. Some of them screaming madly, crawled on the ground with chaos, Some people in a coma for a while and die.
Witnessed his comrades were buried when alive
Hot sun, tried and hungry make Allen got splitting headache, dazzled. At this time, several Japanese soldiers came and ordered several USA dragged out bodies buried, some insane people been put into the huts. They began digging. When the shallow hole dug,POWS bury the body. Just then, an American soldier and two Filipinos were carried to leave, they has been unconscious but still alive. A Japanese stopped POWS and ordered them to put the three people into hole, and command POWS started working. A spade after a spade dusts drop on the three POWs. At this time, the American soldiers suddenly woke up, he open blue eyes, hard to climb out the hope. There is any hope he alive. Two Japanese soldiers use knife point to Filipino throat, he hesitated a moment, a Japanese soldier put knife on his neck tighter. Filipino prisoners scared more, eyes closed, use a spade beat the American down.The American fell back, the person responsible for the burial fill the hole ... ... (Continue)
 
Bataan Death March (part 4)

The fourth day, prisoners had a spoon of rice, this is their only foods in these days.Because little food, Allen still very hungry,but he felt satisfied. Some people have already died. Midnight it began to rain, and Alan lying on ground,feel cold.

Hunger, thirst, exposure, heavy rain, miserable make USA POWS silk. In course of the march, the USA POWS urine in their pants. If behind, will be the killed by Janpanese. POWS are suffering from various malaria, dysentery and diarrhea and other diseases, some lost their lives. When USA POWS pass a residential area, some Filipinos sympathetic them,thrown some bread or biscuits to POWS. But the Japanese soldiers angry these people, and anger to USA POWS, kicked them.

Fifth day afternoon, USA POWS arrived Shengfuernan. They don't need march finally . They are drive into trucks, 80 to 100 people in each car. Because crowded, many people can not breathe. Prisoners jammed together, people can't had a little fresh air. Allen sat on car door lucky, enjoying the fresh air. The sun more hot, like an oven in truck. Most prisoners infected dysentery. Some people fainted, some people fell down, they lie at the foot of other USA POWS, face in the filth on ground. Suffering in the trucks for 5 hours, finally reached the Karpas. Door is opened, POWS walked with tremble. Japanese soldiers order USA POWS stand on a space. POWS stand in the hot sun for two hours, they began to march in evening ,they arrived at the destination.- Odd Neil war camp.

In war camp, the Japanese more abuse of POWS, USA POWS forced heavy labor, also withstand Japanese tortured. Japanese also let prisoners hungry sometimes. After Allied POWS experienced a brutal "Bataan death march" and Odd Nell camps,tens of thousands people died. (end)​

Nobody give me an answer?


Maybe the European or Caucasians had rule the world for centuries since
Columbus discovered the New World. Perhaps European only trust the " jungle law" ,

That is " only the stronger can survive, the weak were taken.'' When Caucasians meet any race or advance civilization can challenge them, even beat them, they will surrender immediately.
That is why our China KMT party will loss, China commnuist party and Japan can success,because they don't believe the western.


I am sad for this condition. The European birth many Scientists, musicians, philosophers,engineers, mathematicians, writers... That is said,the race very smart and excellent.


And European Scientists discover and invent many thing,like "electricity ,telivision,radio,computer,nuclear power.submarine,satellite,telephone,icebox....." But their thinking and action remain stay at "jungle law". The "jungle law " is a very backward law for animals.
We are the human ,not the animals.We are intelligent beings that can change our life,even change many thing!

If the European continue trust "jungle law", then let it go!
 
I'll try :)

Consider that in Hupeh Province in May 1943, "Chinese troops ordered whole towns evacuated on grounds of military necessity - and then plundered them for everything of value. Persons too old to move and who remained in the towns were killed as traitors." Peasants often had no less fear from their own soldiers than they did from the Japanese. Sometimes they simply rebelled or turned on the soldiers to exact revenge.

Sorry you wanted an answer, I didn't even see a question just a break down of Japanese atrocities of WW2 which is nothing new to anyone.

Not sure what we are meant to do now, the war is over, most of the participants are dead and Japan has reintegrated itself into the world as a productive peaceful nation which is about all anyone can ask.

So I have no issue with Japan today, I would also suggest that being able to set aside differences and move on is the exact opposite of "jungle law".
 
why the the China communist party and Japan whom killed many European can be success, Our China KMT party who save numerous American and Enghlish people lives in world war 2 were lost.

The history tell us, the European will turn against his ally in anytime, like west countries abandon China KMT in 1949,right?
That is tell Earth people ,don't be the friend or ally with the west countries, they will abandon or sold their ally in any times.

A stupid English politician said,:" No forever friend,but forever interest."

These words may be correct before the nuclear age, when nuclear weapons invent,. If you turn againt your ally,the disaster waiting you.

I think Caucasians are very self contradictory, one way west countries sing the song ' we are the world ,we are children",in Haiti earthquake.

Another way they bombed and killed millions of people in the countries of Asia and African people,and invade the Latin countries.

If west countries really want to support hungry people in African and Asia, they only use the 1/5 moneys of their military budget to help the hungry people ,there will no hungry people in black African and Asia.
or the west countries very Hypocrites.
 
While I agree with his comments regarding Japanese atrocities during WW2, the Chinese record of human rights abuses is not something to be proud of.
 
Every once in a while, we get some bloke from a certain country, who will wave the flag proclaiming all sort of things to show that his country is better than others. I recalled that I had a very interesting interaction with a childish punk from that particular country. I call him childish because of his immature ways of dealing with others in this forum... Interesting because he was a real source of amusement to many in the forum...

Dear Udaka,

Since you brought up the issue of Japanese atrocities during the war, I wonder if you would also like to discuss Chinese atrocities during these periods listed below. I would really like to hear your comments-

1. the Cultural revolution...
2. The treatment of Tibetans...
3. The treatment of PoWs by Chinese troops during the Korean War...

In case you are missing the point, all nations do have some black moments in their history, it s something that they are not proud of. Some will try to make amends. For the beast part, those who try to make amends were not the ones committing it. But to keep on reliving it would not do anyone any justice - nothing good will come out of it. It will just make you a bitter person. Do not forget, yes, but the key thing is to move on...

I do not know the reason why you are raking this up, but I am sure you will tell us about it.
 
I think if anyone here was asked who is the most advanced country today between china and japan we know what the answer would be...
 
I do not know the reason why you are raking this up, but I am sure you will tell us about it.

Because a couple of weeks ago Japan purchased a couple of pointless rocks that China is claiming so now we are stirring up anti-Japanese sentiment.

This one aint rocket science mate.

And so the world turns...
 
Before you nonsense,you better check your history book.

Did any west countries books record China ccp army abuse USA or English POWS in korean war? Many USA and other countries POWS said the ccp army treat them good after the war. If the ccp army in korean war like brutal with Japan army. I afriad of the the President Truman would not stop the war with China ,he will order the USA air force bomb the mainland of China, like the USA bomb the homeland of Japan in world war 2.

The cultrue revolution is made by evil China commnuist party ,not our KMT party. It is the west countries and Soviet let the ccp control the power of China. It is no my business.

As if Tibetans...,the media of CCP said they treat the Tibetans as brothers and sisters. The propaganda machines of west countries said CCP mistreat Tibetans very bad. I don't know what I can believe.

Did the American will fight against China for Diaoyu Islands? if the west countries don't fight for Diaoyu Islands, The Japanese will feel the European had sold them.


On the Diaoyu Islands,Perhaps American will support Japan in Logistical,supply or information instead of use the fleet. Then the American tell to the Japanese,"we are fulfill our duty." Then the west countries look the China and Japan fight each other like watching a show. The European pick up the pieces at the final, when China and Japan army exhausted and injured. Like the world war 2.
