Remember, it's not a war crime if you win.
It still is
They did it first, it’s called a uno reverse
wait did American win the Vietnam war ?
@@thienthutran1177 sadly, no the u.s did not win
Edit:
Ok guys it was a year ago, calm down.
That's why you wasn't executed, mr. Stalin, but maybe you should have.
These are KNOWN war crimes. With the leadership being very willing and motivated to cover up war crimes, imagine how many atrocities were successfully covered up. And will never be known to history. A chilling thought. A sad and brutal fact. Rest in peace to all the otherwise peaceful men and women sent to their deaths by corrupt and bloodthirsty governments.
True. I think a lot of unknown war crimes are often remembered by the survivors and families of the victims while being gaslighted by the perpetrators who got away with it.
@@space4166 I believe isreal hitman were sent to hunt a german SS doctor megalle, failed tho
no such thing as a peaceful man or woman.
not to mention that the russian soldiers thumbnail is CLICKBAIT
@@matthewyoung8314 yep, fucking bait. The only reason I clicked it.
If there's anyone you absolutely don't want to be a captured by, it's the Japanese.
and if their is anyone you dont want to get bombed by its the americans
and the cartel
Or the Soviets.

My great grandfather died in the Batan death march, I never knew much about it until now. Thank you.
It's not batan it's bata-an I'm from Philippines my grandpa also involved in the Japanese occupation of Philippines
Patton: "Show them no mercy. Kill them if they try to surrender."
Green soldier: *Shows no mercy; kills prisoners.*
Patton: "You weren't supposed to do that."
"The general directly ordered us to kill everyone that try to surrender."
Sorry you can't use that as a defence...
@@BF-I-II-V-V-III-VII Seems reasonable to me. I don't think I'd go through with it, but I don't blame those who would entirely.
Yes they were. No prisoners. No loose ends. It’s a job and it needs to get done correctly.
@@commandercorl1544 You have a duty to reject unlawful orders. 'My boss told me to commit a crime' doesn't fly in military court.
@@irishcoughy5916 It definitely doesn't, but at least I can see where they're coming from. A trusted general gives a motivational speech and mentions to shoot anyone who surrenders. You've been fighting in brutal conditions for weeks, and when the fighting ends there's prisoners. You remember the speech and their brutality and execute them. It's unjust, but understandable.
We all know Patton absolutely knew what he was doing when holding that speech...
100%
Yes, he absolutely did. Fucking crazy he even did that speech.
@@Camilo_Zwhat can you expect, he was a mad lad
Karma took care of Patton
they did good work
I had never heard about Yamashita's gold, but that explains so much about the premise for Rook Island as the setting in Far Cry 3. "Why are there boxes of loot stashed in every random cave around this island?" Yamashita put them there. The skeletons and lost letters of WW2 soldiers always made sense to me, of course, but now knowing the full history with the stockpiled treasure, it really completes the picture.
The cia recovered most of it
my late grandfather was with the 57th infantry regiment (Philippine Scouts), and would always recount his escape story. he managed to run off into high grass with others, some of which died from the Japanese troops shooting at them. He still had this large scar on his back from a grazing round
War on its own is brutal but the fact that we have war crimes just shows how horrible our species can be sometimes
You ever go into nature? Animals are far worse than we could ever be.
Penguins especially are horrible
True, it's just to be dominant and to be feared.
This is why I eat all of my enemies in public places, if they fear me they'll leave me tf alone
Its not about the brutality Batman, it's about sending a message
My grandpop’s uncle survived the Bataan death march, my family only found out after they went through his things when he passed away.
must have been hard on him
Thank you for his service.
My Grandfather also Bataan survivor he never talked about it but Grandmother told me - this was 1950's. Yeah I am old- 1949 Model
@@FrancisE.Dec.Esquire what?
@@mmmvtec90 edward was born in 1949.
The bataan death march is truly horrific and something i couldn't even bare to imagine going through. Poor souls.
As a german I'm quite surprised by these.
As far as histroy lessons in schools go the only japanese involvement in WWII we learn about is Pearl Harbour.
Only learned about various war crimes and the existence of unit 731 way after my school days.
It’s the same for me. Australian public school only taught us about the Holocaust and Pearl Harbour. I found out about Unit 731 and others later in life.
Did they teach you about the mandatory "re-education" i.e. brainwashing of your parents and grandparents by the USA and the Allies?
What about the UmVolkung of your Country in the past 80 years?
What about the UmVolkung of other White countries?
Ukraine is hard at work removing it's male population, will likely need some (non-white) young men after the war to rebuild and repopulate.
😂😂😂😂
because if every kid were taught these kind of thing at young ages, of all the warcrimes of their own country and others, they’ll only grow up in despair and guilt, or anger and rage
@@holmesholmes.8784I don't necessarily think that anger and rage would rise as a result of this as they'd learn that every country has their own skeletons in the closet.
Unlike the hatred between two nations like Serbia and Albania where little kids of both are indoctrinated from young ages that the others are evil.
Also, there are a ton of interesting stories that could get a lot of kids more involved in history like heroic battles, unlikely allies, etc.
My three favourites of specifically war history of all time:
- The christmas truce 1914/WWI
- 588th night bomber regiment (Soviet, WWII)
- Witold Pilecki (Auschwitz, inmate 4859, WWII)
Witolds Report: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold%27s_Report
@@AlTheWombat I suppose it's not evidently that kids learning about war crimes at young age would have substantial different responses, but if adults can have such drastic reactions, I don't think it is affordable to do a gamble on it until an educating formula can be found to lecture about these kinds of things.
And yes, there's a lot more to history than war crimes, at least a major part of it are taught down and the rest are optionally pursuitable for people with passions.
Gotta love it how the officers always get off and the enlisted are the ones who are punished
dead right mate, us cannon fodder get it every time.
Officers fail upwards and keep getting promoted only to continue failing upwards on grander scales.
I was coming to say this. You’re right.
because most officers often came from a long line of military family and their parents and predecessors are friends and have served with someone from the top brass.
Despite that fact that the orders were "Kill those that surrender". Word for word.
My grandfather escaped the Bataan Death March and joined the guerillas fighting in the jungle. He had many stories about what the Japanese did during the war.
Utmost respect!
My great grandfather was nearly a part of that. He got an impacted wisdom tooth that nearly killed him from the infection. Was sent back to Manila for treatment. After that he was transferred to another infantry regiment and spent the war as reinforcements for the marshal island’s campaign.
Doubtful
In my opinion, they were worse than the Germans
How did he escape
My step-dad dated a girl whose dad survived the Bataan death march, said he was the scariest man he'd ever known.
In 1975 I enlisted in the Navy and was assigned to NAS Barber's Point Oahu HI. Was first in Squadron VR-21 a C-118 Transport and Admirals special aircraft group until it decommissioned in late 1976. Was then assigned to VC-1 a photographers and training unit. My XO and then later CO was Commander Gerald Coffee.........he retired as a Captain. He gave lectures to 'newbies' such as I about his experiences as a POW in the Hanoi Hilton for 7 plus years. He was one of the originators of the 'Tap Code' system. He was the ONLY Officer that I had any authentic respect for on the Naval Station and happily saluted him. All others were just obligations to superiors. LOVED him very much and was fortunate to have spoken with him for over an hour 4 months before he passed away at 88 years old.
I'm from the UK and I learned about WW2 in school. We never talked about any Allied war crimes though and only learned about the Holocaust. I'm glad we have channels like simple history so that we can learn about the war from both the Allied and Axis perspectives
Agreed there most likely to teach about the axis and what they did and some of there war crime while the allies side is more on the hush hush side
Because for the western allies part, they were negligible in comparison to what they were waging war to defeat, worst scale of crimes against humanity in the shortest time in human history so, its about the greatness that was done to defeat them really that is focused on, at least they don't omit the war crimes that did take place for their part in the end.
Shooting pows isn't exactly something schools might want to teach, something like genocide against millions of "unwanted" people is something tho
Yhea talk with my history teacher and he say that we don't have time too cover up all atrocities commit by the allies so that why we focused on the german and Japanese
@@kg7162 sure.... "don't have time"
"During the Second Sino-Japanese War the Imperial Japanese Army committed war crimes"
Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
"Throughout WW2, the Germans used tanks."
@@fluttzkrieg4392"Durring the course of human history Hitler was alive" - Sun Tzu or Napolean, idk mabye even Hitler.
There is No War in Ba Sing Se
Is there any war where the japanese soldiers didn't commit several war crimes?
@@zarandadam1718 Russo-Japanese War and World War I? The Japanese actually treated Russian and German POWs well at that time.
Thank you for doing this! I have been waiting for you to do a BATAAN Death March episode! Means a lot to me because my Grandpa was a Filipino POWs captured. His name was Marino aka Marine Unite. The Filipinos got released, he then joined a guerrilla group to fight the Japanese.
I can’t imagine being a soldier and expected to fight and under intense pressure of seeing your comrades and buddies getting killed you have to restrain yourself from getting revenge. Much respect to those who can.
The biggest tragedy of all is that the Japanese war crimes were forgotten, and were never truly punished for it unlike the Germans.
Edit: to the over 100 comments saying it, the nukes were not enough. They committed worse crimes than the Germans ever did.
What about the soviet war Crimes ? . They killed milions people but people don't care
All because of anime
Israel and America are much worse
Japan was 10 times worse aswell
@@annpyingshek4693 Anime is a war crime by itself.
I'm not surprised america never tried to charge vietnam with war crimes 😂😂
I find myself rewatching this alot of times.
Thank you for touching base on Japanese War Crimes. Being Japanese myself I never believed any of the stories told by my non Japanese friends about Japanese war crimes in WW2 and dismissed it as propaganda. Our textbooks in Japan have no mention of it or completely embellish them. For example growing up we were taught that “comfort women” weren’t forced but volunteers who “handsomely” were paid by the Imperial Army. We were also taught that the Rape of Nanking, comfort women (women forced into sexual slavery by imperial japan), and other war crimes were embellishments created by the Chinese, Korean, and other former colonial governments out of jealousy for Japans economic growth following ww2. We often made obscene jokes about it during class and my fellow classmates would laugh along. It wasn’t until later in life that I decided to conduct a more objective investigation. Needless to say I’m greatly ashamed of my younger and immature self all those years ago. It worries me for future fellow Japanese generations as politicians are looking to erase such embellishments even further. Just recently in 2021 Japanese textbooks will no longer mention comfort women or the rape of Nanking as being associated with the Japanese military in WW2. History is riddled with embarrassment for every civilization that has ever existed. Erasing such memories only dooms humanity to repeat the same mistakes perpetually. It seems in the current global geopolitical climates the musings of war and paranoia are accelerating this trend.
At least you repented and saw the error of your ways which is more than what some would do so you've paid your dues then
Regardless you did not commit those crimes. So in the end you hold no fault or apology. Other then maybe not being reverent. Same logic as white men killed Indians 150 years ago so all white people must apologized today
wow that is insane propaganda really is a scary thing
@@crazychase98 It's more complex than that. If we profit from crimes and atrocities our ancestors committed it's fair to say we bear at least some degree of responsibility to at least try to put a dent in the damage they caused.
@@stormthrush37 Damage to who? There all dead and been dead. Indians that suffer now is from mostly drug use alcohol. A welfare which getting rid of welfare will help a lot of those issues
When your dad is a war criminal and no one has the balls to take him to court.
Edit: i cant believe that you took a joke se seriously...
Serbian national anthem intensifies
That song is sarcastic. But "peaceful" Europeans immediately think that bloodthirsty Serbs with a knife in their mouth sing that song, proud of their crimes.
@Stugna Bulah life certainly is precious, just seemingly not as much in war of retribution
He used to conquer Bosnia. You can try to convict him.
@@drew92gill life is only precious in the eyes of the beholder.
“The Bataan death March was one of the worst crimes in the pacific”
China: 😐
I’ve played games that have a Vietnam themed map or game mode, and when they mentioned the lady with propaganda I legitimately got goosebumps. They have some of those exact same voice lines in the games. Hanoi Hannah.
Yamashita was the only general who actualy treated his pows with respect, and specifically said no looting, no rape, no killing. But since he was commanding half a million troops, not all of them followed his orders. There is a vid on this guy's life
his trial was nothing but a fucking farce. The allied nations wanted revenge and that unfortunately went on Yamashita. the trial is on youtube i believe.
That's not 100% fact. It's unknown if he ordered it or not, or if he knew but it is known that he didn't actively try to stop anything
@@surfingbrrrdLies. He had executed many Japanese soldiers for disobeying the orders aforementioned. You don't disobey a Japanese General's orders without severe repercussions.
Besides, most Allied judges in trial were quite sympathetic to General Yamashita except for one big name, General MacArthur who had vetoed all rule in favor of sparing Yamashita from hanging.
The reason for this would most likely be attributed to General Yamashita's massive success against MacArthur's forces in the Philippines, which utterly embarrassed MacArthur and our country's history. This battle would be and still is our country's worst defeat in warfare since our inception.
There are other Japanese generals with honorable records such as General Kuribayashi and General Matsui, with similar orders as General Yamashita.
But you must understand the vast majority of instances no one treated POW's very humanely on both sides. Allies were far from saints and even killed over a million unarmed Wehrmacht POW's after the war had ended by forcibly starving them.
Dude, you heard of the nanking incident? Read up on Japanese atrocities please.
My great uncle was in the Bataan Death March. He has a autobiography he gifted to his family about his experience. Was very brutal and he miraculously survived.
Did it f up his head
@@matt2522 he was bound to a wheelchair after the war due to a mortar hurting him in combat. He wouldn’t say much in the years I knew him, I just read his autobiography. He wrote that they were all bound by chain and the enemy would shoot the people too weak to walk and it would make everyone else have to drag the bodies as it got heavier and heavier.
My grandfather killed 7 Japanese men then got killed after his name is Jose Dizon
Is this book public?
@@ChaosWithMarsunfortunately not, him and his brother wrote about the war as they were both in separate fronts. His brother was in Normandy and was the 2nd wave to storm the beaches. He was a medic and lost his gun in the battle. He also wrote that he found someone who’s leg was blown up and he had to use rusty scissors to cut the leg off so he could stop the bleeding. He was shot in the shoulder by a sniper in a graveyard and was sent home for his injuries. I wish I could remember all the exact accounts they wrote but it was very difficult to read at some parts

So this channel has easily become one of my favorite, as I scroll thru the "you may also like" selection under which ever vid I'm watching, and this to a watch later playlist. Well I got curious. Since I am binge watching the channel rn. I wanted to see how many vids they had for me to gourge myself on n holy smokes 😳 it just keeps goin n goin n goin lol
Great Uncle William Lee McMillan, Company M, 4th Marine Regiment, surrendered on Corregidor in 1942. He survived nearly three years as a POW of the Japanese. At least in body and just barely. Malaria paralyzed him from the waist down. Ulcers in his eyes rendered him virtually blind. He was rescued at Bilibid Prison, Manila in 1945 by the US Buckeye Infantry Division. Through intense physical therapy and surgery he was able to recover some of his sight and could shuffle walk by the time he was discharged. Needless to say, he was rated as permenantly disabled.
His time home was not good. He couldn't hold a job. His physical and mental disabilities drove him to drink. He was married briefly, and had a son. Tragically the boy died less than a year later and the marriage ended in a divorce. Then to add to his woes, his nephew, my grandfather, came home with a Japanese bride! That split the family horribly. Many treated Grandma either coldly or with outright hostility. One relative called my father, an baby at the time, "That J@p boy." Strangely enough, Uncle Bill was another exception. According to Grandma, he never had anything mean to say to her. Never raised his voice or even blame her for what happened to him, but he wouldn't stay in the room with her for very long.
Uncle Bill died in 1976, at the age of 64. The offical cause of death was heart failure, but we know it stemmed from his captivity. Part of him is still in the Philippines.
well, you can say that Great Uncle William was "corregido" right?, right?
Respect to your great uncle Bill 🇺🇸🦅
God rest his soul.
What a slap to your great uncles face.
😢
Gotta love how ol 'blood and guts' Patton got away with ordering his boys to go out and be merciless killers that took no prisoners, then suggests the incidents be covered up, and SOMEHOW he didn't get in any trouble nor was the defense for both men considered 'applicable'. Funny how that goes.
Yup, hilarious.
You do realize he was just trying to inspire them
He didn’t actually mean murder them. Biscary was obviously not a war crime ordered by the higher ups but an individual unit action in which they were pissed off at the snipers who killed many of them. It certainly isn’t justified but Patton is not responsible, he was a scape goat and they failed at making that happen
Shame Patton didn't die sooner
@@fenfrostpaws2000 I wanted him to live
So he could keep the tanks rolling past Berlin up to Moscow
What do you expect from a country who initiated a program called Operation Paperclip? You see, power tends to consolidate in the hands of the few. This same structure of power creates unjust hierarchies that cannot be questioned. That's how you get Patton.
I just discovered this channel. Great content!
The narrator sounds like solid snake 😂
Knowing Vietnam is the only country that traumatized the US is quite impressive and terrifying at the same time.
Huh? We definitely did it back
Well Afghanistan can be counted among those ranks now I'd say
It's because of baby boomers, funnily enough.
@@birdperson2540 Not even close to the same level

@@lessssssgooooo not
Only eternal torture is the optional thing for those dishonorable german subhumans.
it is a matter of fact very importet that they got them to talk in dutch we have a saying "het doel heiligt de middelen" the goal condones the means

Prisoner 1: “What are y’all in for?”
Prisoner 2: “I robbed a bank, got caught.”
Prisoner 3: “I got caught selling meth.”
Sgt. West: “I double mag dumped 30 something enemy POWs.”
One of the biggest war crimes was the Nanking Massacre, where the japanese took hostage one entire city in China during 6 weeks, rapping, torturing and killing civilians. A lot of the survivors ended suicinding because of the trauma. And to this day the japan government never apoligized and even deny some of the aspects of the massacre. I recommend the song 'Naking' by Exodus, for those who want to learn more about it.

Salute to my grandfather, a survivor of the Bataan Death March. He persevered in battle until General Douglas MacArthur's return. I am fortunate to have heard his story. He harbored intense anger towards General MacArthur, whom he accused of deserting them during the battle. His indignation was such that he named my father after him.

I have a problem with holding grunts accountable while allowing leaders off the hook.
They still folowed orders.
They were still willing to commit the tourture.
Despite being JUST THE SAME as they men they were abusing. They did it, instead of standing up to said leadership.

@@scottkrafft6830 tf ? what does Italy have to do with the Poles? I wonder why you don't inform yourself before shooting this bullshit. Italy has never set foot in Poland so the Poles would have had no reason to shoot two Italian prisoners

“War crimes? I call that a wise use of existing resources.”
My dad was a Pow on the Burma railway for 30 months
He HATED the Japanese until the day he died. He wouldn't even buy something if it was from Japan. He was usually not a hater but little I heard of what happened to him. Those where some batshit vicious crazy troops he was a RMSM 63 18 stone when captured he was 8 stone when finally rescued. It's not that long ago when you think about it, BUT VERY DIFFERENT TIMES, a different world completely. Turkey the GREATEST GENERATION, R,I,P, all brave souls just trying to do there duty,xx
Never understood why some nations try to downplay or cover up their war crimes. As a Canadian I feel we need to be aware of the crime our troops committed the village that was torched in Germany was shameful I'm grateful they forced the town evacuated before burning it down but then their was the reason our airborne division was disbanded in the 90s
Because that will lower morale
You can’t have low morale during wartime
And it’s not like these things happened very often (atleast for allied units, Soviet and axis units are different)
Partially what Luigi said, but it will also effect how the enemy will treat your men should they be captured.
@@luigimrlgaming9484 Low moral happens when people are in denial and lied too. The truth always comes full circle. Then people have low moral AND can't trust their own leaders.
Just be honest. Or are people cowards?
@@taramaforhaikido7272 Low Morale just happens when something happens that increase the chance of losing. You can feel low morale in a sports game when they score in the first 2 minutes.
@@luigimrlgaming9484 You're looking at short term. I'm talking long term. War is NOT a sports game that lasts 2 minutes. This is about TRUST.
If a leader can't be taken at their word then how can their word be trusted? If a leader deals with lies and secrets then where is their courage?
Sun Tzu lets people assume. Yet he knows to know the enemy. There's a big difference between assumptions and telling your own men to obey an order then trying to avoid accountability. Would you trust that? Future wars happen. People look back on history. How can they trust their leaders when there's always some backstabber and turn coat betraying their own troops?
Compare that to someone that hides nothing. Wanting their enmies to know they're coming. And knowing that nothing can be done to stop them. Provided that turns out to be true then that's a much better example to set. One of bravery and courage. Or if not that at least honesty and responsability. People will follow a weak leader if they are honest. People won't follow a strong leader if they are a lying two faced coward that doesn't even admit what they do. And secrets always get revealed in the end. It might not be soon, but in the end it WILL get found out. That's when the troops of today smell blood in the water. Leading to rebellions and fighting your own.
I have enjoyed these animated clips for a couple years now ! Thanks guys you do good work 👍
Even animated this was quite disturbing to watch, may God be with those victims and their families.
Lieutenant Clark Kent lol. It's good that despite everything they were still able to retain a level of humor
The torture the allies endured is beyond the pale... There seems to be no end to the incredible level of human evil by people in positions of power... If every population was disarmed, this would become common...
we are only ever one dictator away from returning to this reality.
If the world was disarmed you wouldnt be talking on here like you are now. Say goodbye to your rights 🤣
Bruhhhh
America has commited tonna war crimes but you know what, they WON so they ddint get punished!
Specially the soviet union
@@KazeHorse A dictator is no different from a legitimately elected democratic leader, they are both the result of the people wanting such a person. In the case of the dictator the people may not realize what it is they were wishing for, but they'll get it regardless and more than likely come to regret it.
Can't believe it was possible that over forty men could be killed with one mag of 30 cartridges. I do think other solders helped the guy
Did you know that sometimes bullets go through people?
Some of the men laid down to try and survive. Remember, he RELOADED, and emptied a SECOND MAG. Also, only 35 people.
@@unwnme like that time everyone went through your mom?
60-61 rounds to 35 men.
@@unwnme Thompson shoots .45 acp they better be huddled like pigs in a cage for a 30 to 40 efficiency it’s a fat slow bullet for stopping power not piercing he prolly didn’t just use one mag tho or used a drum tbh 😅
japan at the time also believed in the bushida code of honor which says that if you surrender you are less than human and therefor have no human rights which made their enemies fight so much harder against them because they know they are dead either way
I love how every channel that makes short docos on war crimes just ignores what US did in Vietnam, Afghan and Iraq 🙂
well gotta make every action an agenda
Not going to bat for the americans here but at the same time the other side did equally messed up crimes against the coalition forces, lets not forget that or try to cover it up.

@@Lambda_111 both sides murdered and tortured soldiers, but only one side massacred civilians and poisoned the land to this day. Not to forget that one side was defending their land from an invasive force.
@@christophmuller5723 And that side didn't massacare civvies overseas in bombings and the like? Neither side is blameless but what I was saying was that everyone rips on the US for the stuff they do but seem to ignore the stuff the other side does.
In Japan the students just learned ww2 like this:
Once upon a time Japan was in ww2, we lost, the end
That’s literally it, the students no nothing of Nanking, Bataan Death March, secret experiments done on humans, the comfort women, the many massacres in Philippines, Korea, China, Vietnam, Manchuria, and how Bushido culture didnt matter for the geneva convention as they treated pows like garbage.
honestly, its in there interest.
I can see that. I live in the USA, but I work for a Japanese auto manufacturer, the largest in the world if that clues you in. Anyway anytime they are doing any kind of presentation on our company history, I always laugh how the 1940's is not even mentioned, but this company has been around since 1890's lol. Otherwise an awesome company to work for.

"Second rule of treating enemy POWS, is give them proper appetites and proper treatment for them."
"Third rule of treating enemy POWS, is give them a proper interrogation peacefully so they could cooperate and agree."
Absolute nonsense

@@-Sierra117- Absolutely not, if your treatment of your enemy is brutal and worse than death in battle, they will fight with much ferocity. If they know they will be treated humanely and with dignity, they won't fight to the bitter end.
Every surrendered soldier is an allied soldier's life saved, be it by them not directly killing them, or by the intel you gather from them after surrender.

Japanese:"Top 10 🧢's"
Dunno if this one showed up here but a couple came in my mind
The Tukhchar massacre, Chechclear and reports of chechens (or someone similar) gutting and tying up prisoners to each other using their intestines.
I think Chechclear was a actually unrelated to the wars in Chechnya.
@@capncake8837 No, it featured conscripts caught by enemy forces. probably from the first war.
Man, you make war crimes look so fun

Biscari Massacre: Officer gets off Scott free, Enlisted Soldier gets imprisoned and reduced rank. That type of Justice still exists today. It’s better to have a college degree and become an officer than go in at 18.
They both should’ve been executed by firing squad for what they did to those pows truly disgusting that whole company should’ve been behind bars after the war
remember, most of the japanese troops brought to trial were found guilty only to be released almost immediately in order to improve relations with the now conquered japanese. A good amount of these Japanese troops went on with their lives and regularly stated that what they had done was fine and that they would given another chance do it all over again, look up the bird of pow camps on mainland japan, Zamperini recounted his atrocities he committed to the Allied POWs, and in my opinion the guy should have been shot upon capture. but he was released, went on to make millions and state that given the chance he would do it again only 100x worse this time around..
