>>49540010Fair play to them, they rode their economic miracle into a new future and have benefited massively from it.
Some of the stories I’ve heard and read from WW2 especially though were fucking wild, when I was a kid my Granfather told me they found a Japanese camp in PNG that was full of bones and other cooked human remains in pots. When I grew up I looked it up and that shit wasn’t even due to starvation half the time, just a lack of meat or for morale.
My understanding of Hokkaido is they worked thousands of the natives to death, and going off what they did in Malaysia to
P.O.Ws I can only imagine how cruel it was.
>>49540018>muh AmericansI was taking the piss with the nukes, a massive tragedy but it did save the country from complete ruin via and invasion that would’ve killed millions.
Americans are bastards and they have a shocking history, but the Japs were a whole different level of fucked up. I’ve never heard of American battalions butchering and eating a POW every day as a form of psychological warfare.
