    Thanks RUclips for utterly ruining the Documentary that so many have learned from in their younger years. Congrats RUclips on turning the Documentary category into nothing more than an hour long video where 30 min is nothing more than a blurred screen, oh the horror of being exposed to actual reality.

    My Grandfather was a Gurkha in the British Indian Army and served during the Burmese retreat. He saw action in Imphal where he killed a Japanese soldier and took his machete as a trophy. Our family still has that blade and worships it during Dussehra. The blade has East Asian writing of some sort. What confuses me is whenever I google "Japan WW2 machete" the search result shows machetes of some other shape. I've never come across a photo of what we have at home online.

    The war in the Pacific was very bloody and in my opinion the worst theater too have to fight in. I have a lot of respect for the American soldiers who fought against Japan then. Japan is a great country and its people are amazing and I’m happy we are no longer enemies. I didn’t have a family member I know of that fought in the pacific but I did have 2 of my Great Uncle’s help fight against the Nazis in Europe and my grandfather said they never would talk about it cause they saw the concentration camps and was deeply disturbed by it

He most likely wouldnt have come home. My brother and i wouldnt have been born. Neither would his 3 granddaughters or 5 great grandchildren. Annette

    My grandfather was a naval engineer. He was on Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. He was non combat, but still never spoke about the war. I heard rumors about the things he saw as the US was cleaning up bodies, and he was set to work building bridges.
    He was also in Korea. He was willing to talk about Korea, but not WWII.
    It feels very strange to watch this while I'm on vacation in Tokyo.

    The Japanese were more terrified of the Soviets invading than the atomic bombs... More people died in the bombing of Tokyo than both atomic bombs combined.

      I have also read that story. The Japanese were willing to still stay defiant even after the 2nd atomic bomb. When the Soviet invasion of Japanese-controlled Manchukuo following the Soviet declaration of war against Japan on 9 August 1945. That's when Japan decided to surrender on August 15th, 1945.
