Battle of the Coral Sea 珊瑚海海戦

[yaotianran]

The same thing is happening in China as well. More and more evidence is being found all over country. For instance, Jap used to widely chemical weapons and before surrendering they buried the shells. Until now it also can be excavated occasionally during construction, like at 2001 Harbin.

[yaotianran]

Japanese always slaughtered Chinese POW or civilian and then burnt their bodies and buried as they treated American POW in Philippine, making extremely difficult to find evidence to prove such war crime. Investigating these crimes needs time. For example, The number of victims of Katyn massacre is always fluctuating since it happened. Before 1991 Soviet Union only admitted the deaths of 1,803 Polish citizens. Now the number of victims is estimated at about 22,000.

[junyo785]

@yaotianran I think that the stories of mistreatment of POW's in china is bloated due to anti-Japanese sentiments. Japanese mistreated both American and Chinese POW's. There is no point in treating them differently because that would be too time consuming

[Mikele22000]

Bloody battle ... ,for us far away from Coral sea ,look exotic, but I think Japan has made a mistake when joined the Nazis.

[junyo785]

@Mikele22000 Thats why smart guys in the Imperial Navy like Yamamot Isoroku tried to convince Tojo to think otherwise.

Sook Ching massacre

The figures of the death toll vary. Official Japanese statistics show fewer than 5000 while the Singaporean Chinese community claims the numbers to be around 100,000. Lee Kuan Yew, the founding Prime Minister who ruled Singapore from 1959 to 1990, said in a Discovery Channel programme that the estimated death toll was, "Somewhere between 50,000 to 100,000 young men, Chinese".

was in the navy. It does not matter whos navy. Brave sailors being killed in what ever battle no matter when it took place is tragic. Men of the sea are all the same no matter what country we come from. No more wars from those whom have seen it. I would rather fish with you than fight you. Perhaps the Almighty whom ever you believe him to be will talk sense into our hearts. I pray brothers of the sea it is soon. See you on the next voyage! Safe seas for us all.!

[Artichokepolio]

I'm trying to identify the IJN planes taking off from the carrier deck. I think I spotted Zeros (with drop tanks), and a Kate (armed with 6, 300 pound bombs). Can anyone confirm this?

[JPN850R]

@Artichokepolio

I believe the fighters with the drop tanks are the A6M2b; Zero Model-21. The other aircraft, the 3-seater, does seem like Kate (Nakajima Type-97 carrier-based bomber B5N/Mitsubishi B5M Mabel). I thought it was a Tenzan torpedo carrier but the vertical stab's profile is more like that of Kate.

Mutual accusations of atrocities aside, the Japanese were certainly worthy opponents. They deserve credit for quickly recognizing the aircraft carrier as the preeminent weapon of modern naval warfare. Perhaps there would be less piracy in Indonesia and less muscle-flexing in the straight of Taiwan if Japan had some carriers of its own today... I'd rather be strategic partners with Japan these days than its neighbor to the west.

He can't justify how POW's were used as slave labor, tortured, starved, beaten and killed. The Bataan Death March was perpetrated by regular Jap Army units...not some "special" sadistic outlaw units. My old man was a POW in the Philippines, so your BS doesn't fly !

[coleopterbreed]

The ones that died in air raids weren't the ones that tortured POW's!

[NamVetBuck]

True, they just worked in the war industry plants, or the refineries, or any other part of the japanese economy that benefitted from , or maintained thier ill gotten "empire". Considering the Rape of Nanking, the total butchery in the Battle of Manila, and civilian casualties that were widespread wherever their military went, they could expect the same treatment in the home islands.

Besides, they were gonna use all those civilians as suicide troops during the invasion of Japan.

[scotty123123]

In this war, your heart has to side with Japan against the decadent and uncivilised Americans. Japanese culture, at least pre-1945, still stood for something noble and aristocratic, as opposed to the barbarian degeneracy of America and her shops, which have since taken over the world.

[sbvarma06]

I agree with you

[monteisp82]

Are you mad. The Japanese butchered anywhere between 20 000 000 and 50 000 000 Chinamen. The Americans are not barbarian degenerates you fool.

[Riyun72]

No of course they aren't,,, oh what about "Tiger Force" in vietnam?! Research the records coming to light now about this unit that butchered women, children and old men in vietnam. Innocent farmers who simply chose to stay on their farms. I bet you choose to say it's BS but there are books written by members of those units who are coming forward to confess. Your country is no better.

[moogleii]

Right...because you can really compare a platoon's actions with a whole empire's actions. America apologizes when they accidentally sink a boat full of Japanese tourists. Japan has trouble accepting responsibility for anything. Whatever makes them feel better, I guess.

Oh yeah, and at least members of Tiger Claw can speak freely. They aren't harassed to keep silent unlike Japanese WW2 veterans.

[Riyun72]

Biggest load of crap there,,, I guess we couldn't expect any more.

[autocashleverage]

Yes and no, suprisingly enough still to this day most Japanese are not totally informed of things done in WW2. The US actually tightly controlled what was taught to the Japanese people about their actions during WW2. I have heard first hand accounts from an old woman in Japan about the thousands of people who cooked alive in their homes during the fire bombing of Tokyo. This is an atrocity you know regardless of your reason for doing it. The A bobms were atrocities to the people of Japan.

[moogleii]

Collateral damage. An offensive term (almost as offensive as comfort women), but in WW2, that's how it was. Many preventable civilian deaths occurred in all theaters. And yet, in the US, there are no real deniers of the atomic attacks. If anything, there's lack of teaching about why they were used, resulting in lots of American sympathizers. Contrast that with Japan, where Imperial warcrimes are largely unknown or denied. Bottomline: Germany took the difficult route, Japan took the easy route.

[autocashleverage]

Also if you are going to point the finger towards a whole countries policy lets look at the US governments policy towards the native Americans who were near totally wiped out. In fact most tribes were completely wiped out systematically bu white mans policy. What about the atrocities committed against them? Still to this day I doubt they receive any real recognition or apology.

[moogleii]

Why? My comment, which appears to have disappeared, wasn't about who had and hadn't committed atrocities; it's about recognition. Kagetora2010's comment pretty much sums it up.

No real recognition? Er, I don't think I've met a single American that isn't aware of what happened to Native and African Americans. Trail of Tear, early biological warfare, slavery, that was all in my textbook growing up. Contrast that with Japan who last I heard were ready to censor their own actions against Okinawans.

[AmericanDemon7]

Most of the wiping out was done by disease such as small pox, etc. Natives were put on reservations, usually outside of tribe lands. Most of the time the lands were unsuited for farming.

[Kagetora2010]

"Tiger Force" acted in direct violation of both international law *AND* American Military Law. They are war criminals, and no honest American civilian or military professional will deny this simple fact, nor hesitate to call for their being called to account. Contrast this with Japan's continuing *official policy* of *not* teaching the true role of Japan during WW2, including but not limited to The Rape of Nanking, the Bataan Death March, Unit 731, and need I go on?

[autocashleverage]

Yes please. No piss taking but still those atrocities were mainly done by special units not unlike the SS in Germany.

[TrueVoicesJP]

killed 20-50 millions ?? Do you really mean it?

I know chinese goverment is liar,many peoples think so in the world.

Now for example.

Reported Chinese Number of Casualties about Japan-Chinese war.

1945　United Nations Report　1.32million

1948　Chinese Goverment of Chiang Kai-shek. 4.38million

1950's　Chinese a history text　10million

1985年　announced chinese Goverment　21million

and Now official numbers(Jiang Zemin announced) 35million

Are you believe?

[askjiir]

@TrueVoicesJP

Japan commited terrible war crimes. Germany have accepted guilt. You must do the same to set a golden example in the east.  It's easy, just accept it. Don't deny it anymore. It's shameful and disrespectful, and you should definately know better.

[askjiir]

@TrueVoicesJP

At least 15 million chinese died. That is beyond doubt.

[M4A108]

@TrueVoicesJP Stupid have you ever forget the PHILIPPINES ISLAND? most of your generals and executioner are murderer that is why they are being Hanged to death.

[xiaoxiao19]

to aznpride0 :

I know what japanese did in China during ww2.I like present day Japanese , not past day Japanese. But still ,I like Japanese people more than other races.

[Crapidiot]

they fight to death because they know they are not great

[xiaoxiao19]

Japanse force will fight to death even they konw that their enemies are more poweful than them.

If italian and German force face these kind of suitation like Japanese force , German and italian force would prefer surrender or escape.

[ayn0612]

Especially Italian.

[jaggingxyy]

I think German are more blave...

[xiaoxiao19]

If Axis power win ww2, there will be a conflict like Italy, Germany Vs Japan. It is because one mountain cannot have two tigers.Also, only one superpower can rule the world. Japan will have the final victory because Japanese force never surrender to their enemy, they would rather kill by enemies instead of surrender to enemies, unlike German force.

[xiaoxiao19]

Japan will win against germany because Japanese soldiers are more obedient than German soldiers. Also, Japanese soldiers never surrender to their enemies, unlike German soldiers. Japanese soldiers are more fierce than German soldiers. The examples is Allies do not cost many men to fight German force but allies cost many men when fight with Japanese force. According to the reasons that I mention it,militarism Japan can win Nazi Germany when they have conflict

[xiaoxiao19]

if japan invented gundam as war weapon even America cannot stop japan. Nuclear weapon , atomic bomb can't resist gundam.

I am a Chinese from Hong kong but I like Japanese culture because Japanese people are very cute, polite, shy and discripline in Asia .japanese people are even more polite than westerners(including america).

[xiaoxiao19]

are you a girl?

[xiaoxiao19]

to polygamous1 :

[xiaoxiao19]

Japanese people are the most polite people in Asia or perhep in the whole world.

Japanese people= most polite

westerners(including american)= polite

Chinese people= rude

Korean people = very rude

So that's why japanese people are superior than other asian people because they are very cute, very polite , very shy and very discripline.

[aznpride0]

yeah! they are the most polite and also the most pervert....Top making porn of the world is from japan with new style....lol shy&polite?..what happen nankin back then? You really need to face more facts kid!!

[xiaoxiao19]

Everyone around the world would be influenced by Japanese culture and German culture. I prefer Japanese culture because of anime/manga and AV.

wtf? ever heard of the rape of nanking? ur from hong kong!!!! ur chinese dont embarras ur self!!!!

[polygamous1]

i suggest go n live in japan a chinese woman is like a queen in her house chinese men are kind n look after their wifes n family well go n see who rules in japan but first learn to be obedient i visited china this year n ALL my chinese friends there made it the BEST holiday ever for me very very hospitable kind peaceful people i don't hate japanese people but i could NEVER feel comfortable in japan or in the company of japanese people like i do with chinese people wake up to reality silly girl

[xiaoxiao19]

In conclusion, if Axis power win in world war 2, the superpowers would not be sover union and USA . It would be Germany and Japan nowadays. Then the international language would be Japanese language. second is German language.

[polygamous1]

is that simpple in your mind? or u think germany would allow japan to rule with them once they developed the atomic bomp it was only going to be one master in the world n that would never a been japan

[xiaoxiao19]

to me , I would like Axis power to win in world war 2, then it will be no cold war afterwards.I would like Japan to rule Asia and Germany to rule in western countries( including North America).

[polygamous1]

maybe you would also like to be one of the "comfort women" for the pleasures of the japanese army u idiot am NOT chinese but my heart cries everytime i see what the japs did to your country best u thank america for u may NOT have excisted today had it NOT been for the usa saving china n the world along with Britain n Russia

Japanese are unable to create art (music, painting or writing - all their highest attempts seem laughable at bets) or able to 'invent', history has shown. Their simple, violent, and basely gruff. Quite funny, really, when compared to civilization - now they're copying luxury cars body lines to sell their own. A lexus commercial vaunted interactive cruise control as if it were a toyota invention - as dishonest now as they were in WW2, lol. Russia had good fun decimating japan in China, WW2.

Oh I guess it was the Japanese looking tooth fairy.

For a simple people they have a very advanced country and such. Your not thinking about those peasent farmers next to the Great Wall of China are you?

Please. The Japana/China/Korea bashing is old.

[xiaoxiao19]

if western countries ( especially America) decline, the world will be in danger (especially in Asian countries) because Japan will turn defensive force to be army. Then japan will attack the asian countries and even the western countries. It will be more danger than terrorism.

[kurakurakurage]

asian countries?

when japan officially walked-out of the united nations in the 1930's, japan had officially declared itself to be "uncivilized", not bound to any "civilized" law, therefore, not bound to follow rules mentioned the geneva convention. also, japan has inherited the title of being THE FIRST TERRORIST COUNTRY in the 20th century. One of the lessons learned, is to stop a terrorist, you must break it's will to fight, like dropping several A-bombs.

in 1931, did china nor any other asian country invited japan to intervene in there own internal affairs? in otherwords, was japan officially invited to join in solving another country's problems or did japan bust the door down and invited itself in? since, japan chose to do the later, japan proved itself to be disrespectful, aggressive, violent, and selfish, thereby, inheriting all descriptions of evil and the consequences thereof.
