Hiroshima & Nagasaki

[TectonicPower]

Live burial of POWs and civilians.

8,000 Australian and Dutch POWs died in Tarsau, Thailand.

Comfort women mostly from Korea and China, also Philippines, Taiwan, Burma, the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), Netherlands, and Australia were forced into sexual slavery in frontline Comfort Stations in China, Indochina and Indonesia.

Cannibalism in many parts of Asia and the Pacific against POWs, e.g. Chichi Jima and Bonin Islands, in some cases, flesh was cut from living people.

[TectonicPower]

Widespread looting in occupied territories (valuable goods from banks, depositories, temples, churches, mosques, museums, businesses, private homes, etc.) was organized on a massive scale by official secret organization called Kin no yuri (Golden Lily) headed by Chichibu, Hirohito’s brother.

Mass raped by Japanese soldiers in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia, where some victims were pre-menstruating girls.

[TectonicPower]

Between November 1944 and April 1945, Japan launched over 9,300 balloon bombs (or Fu-Go) to attack US and Canada. One bomb killed a woman and 5 children in south Oregon.

A tacit order from Hirohito to execute all Chinese POWs before the surrender of Japan, out of thousands of Chinese POWs, only 56 survived; and to eliminate evidences, all surviving human test subjects in Japanese Army’s chemical and biological research units were executed before the surrender of Japan.

[TectonicPower]

Thousands of POWs and captured civilians were transported to Japan, Taiwan, Indochina, Manchuria, or Korea to be used as forced labor perished in Hell ships such as Oryoku Maru, Junyo Maru, Dainichi Maru, Arisan Maru, and many more.

Only 52,000 of the 270,000 Javanese forced laborers being sent to other Japanese held areas survived after WWII, a death rate of 80%.

[TectonicPower]

Most victims of the human experimentations were Chinese, also American, British, Australian and Russian POWs.

At least six different chemical and biological attacks were conducted in China, such as Changde chemical and biological weapon attack in Hunan, and twice Kaimingjie germ weapon attacks in Zhejiang, chemical weapons attack in Battle of Wuhan and Battle of Zaoyang-Yichang.

Cyanide gas was tested on Australian and Dutch POWs on Kai Islands of Indonesia.

[TectonicPower]

Various Japanese Army Units (100, 200, 516, 543, 731, 773, 1644, 1855, 2646, 8604, 9420) researched and developed chemical (potassium cyanide, phosgene, chlorine, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic trichloride, sulfer mustard, lewisite etc.) and biological (anthrax, glanders, rusts, bubonic plague, typhoid, typhus, cholera, smallpox, botulism, tuberculosis, malaria, etc.) weapons, and conducted lethal human experimentations on the general population in Japanese occupied territories.

[TectonicPower]

The Three Alls Policy (Kill all, Burn all, Loot all) sanctioned by Hirohito was to massacre an entire village if they suspected an enemy hiding in the village, such as the Panjiayu Massacre in Hebei, China.

More than 100,000 civilians and POWs died in the construction of the Death Railway (or Thailand-Burma Railway), especially at Hellfire Pass.

After March 20, 1943, the Japanese Navy was under orders to execute all POWs taken at sea.

エノラ・ゲイ機長の息子は発言自粛しろ！

[tigerprincess17]

too late to say woops but never too late to apologize.

[ANIKES]

atoming bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki has been a criminal war act.

Nuremberg it is still there waiting and the case is still open.

History will condemn US for this acrocity as soon as stupidity and fanatism will give place to objective critisim

[MsJaplover]

hiroshima bombing never occured just bunch of japs making up shit

[sanandreas410]

is usa government happy with that ????

fuk war

[bondfan3]

While it is true that all civilian deaths in war are horrible, you have to take into account the mindset of the Japanese people at the time. Many interviews of then children in Japan have been broadcast and they stated that they were taught in school that if the Americans invaded their homeland, they should hold a grenade to their chests, roll under the American vehicles, and die for the glory of the Emporer. They doesn't sound like a defeated people on the verge of surrender to me.

[OzKenshi]

I'm against war in all it's forms - especially for the sake of the civilians involved, on both sides. The Japanese GOVERNMENT & MILITARY (not the public) commited terrible attrocities, I agree, but that doesn't excuse the use of guinea pig style testing of nuclear weapons. P.Harbour was a strategic military target-Hiroshima was a civilian city with only a quarter of ppl related to military operations. What Japan did in the war was wrong, but USA put themselves in the same category by nuking

[Colin2k41]

When we bombed this and nigarashi it won us the war.

[slickshoesken]

as they say "all is fair in love and war" :-)

[OzKenshi]

B4 1853, Japan chose to limit trade to a few countries which it trusted-mainly Spain & Portugal, until USA came storming in (as usual) under Cmdr Matthew Perry...displaying gunships and FORCING Japan to bow down to America's commercial interests.

USA deliberately set the bait for P. Harbour in my opinion-they wanted to enter the war in the Pacific for political reasons & setting up the fleet like sitting ducks was the perfect opportunity. Next ppl will be saying 9/11 was the work of Al Quaeda!

[OzKenshi]

By the time the bomb was dropped Japan was broke - they had no funds or resources left and their days of war were numbered. The $2 billion budget then was equivelent to $23 billion now - is it any wonder the USA caused the current financial recession? Their military insecurities cause the rest of the world to go broke.

As for Pearl Harbour, there is plenty of info that was left out of the public media (as USA always does) - as Kichijhouji said, to explain the reason for this

[rotik07]

you are a very intelligent person! theese are the things that we dont talk about in the u.s or the media wont tell us cuz they are fed by corp oney and government to tell us to listen.

[slickshoesken]

yeah it wasn't the right thing to do but it was the best way against a suicidal enemy by giving them something to lose

[OzKenshi]

Anyone who has lame, cussing comments about this issue should go to Hiroshima, like I have, and stand among the lovely people who live there....people like you and me.

I come from a long line of Australian military ancestors and even they (the ones still living) don't agree with this "guinea pig push button warfare."

[redilluminati]

u should come to all asia that japan invaded, what japan did to the colony, its comparable, USA should make a bigger nuke to your country, that why i never feel sorry when your country fall but i feel sorry for all the civilian who dies, and i think your kaisar should die 2. see u in hell

[merinoarnoldo]

Now let's just way for the third wolrd war.

[Colin2k41]

Its going on now.

[riskyrieske]

People don't understand this event in it's fullness. It was horrible that so many had to die but keep in mind in WWII civilians were legitimate targets. Every country bombed civilians. If those two bombs were not dropped the U.S. would have resorted down to fire bombing every major city in Japan. Killing hundreds of thousands more. Not to mention the tens of thousands of soldiers that would have died in a land invasion attempt. And the war could have dragged on much longer.

[Noapokoni]

nice fucken video... until the end.

quit preaching and make one with a autechre song in it.

[shotdown54]

Japan used a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, toke the lives of 10,000,000 people, as you said. That victim shit is way overblown, what goes around comes around.

[kichijhouji]

USA of prewar days was hoping for "Joint struggle to Nazis" to Japan.

However, Chiang Kai-shek did lobbying to the USA, and the USA came to do an anti-Japanese policy.

USA thoroughly did economic sanction to Japan.

And, November, 1941. President of the USA pointed "Hull note" at Japan by the arbitrary decision.

The Hull note demanded "Dismantlement of a Japanese country".

This was a cause of the Pearl Harbor.

Hull note have not been described to the textbook of Europe and USA at all.

[rk83alroy]

Bottom line,

If you can't stand the atom heat, stay out of the war kitchen.

[JRKtheAdobeDude]

today's the 63rd anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing

[Ballouti]

FUCK WAR!!

[akiyo312]

War is the stupid thing to do!!

Never ending to hurt each other..

Complain each other..

Stop be stupid hurting each other.

Now it is time for us to get togather as one big family

to save our home = Earth now!

[hotrowdypiper]

sorry, but harry s. truman using nuclear to stop the war is the act of a coward. why can he fight like every other battles through out history and win the war ,now the japs will respect him.

[ksky213]

respect?! how about everyone is going to church on a sunday morning when pearl harbor is being surprised attack without warning?.....sneaky and brutality is the jap's game. let them get a taste of their own medicine and please study about history before talking about respect.

[55Maggot55]

shut your damn mouth u dumbass faggot...the japs deserved what they got...we went back and helped rebuild anyway...read up on history u doosh

[AbsoliteZero]

Realy sad!That some kids still think that nuke is great thing.USA and USSR development of WOMD(Weapons Of Mass Destruction) was only for defending perpouises. Don't beleve what say US PROPOGANDA today the BUSH-mans allways LIE.Tribute and memory 4Ever to thoese who died in WW2 on All sides.(KiLL POLITICANS,SAVE THE WORLD !!!Greenpeace)

[lewisner]

This video atates that in Hiroshima 70,000 people died in the initial blast and that the "overwhelmong majority" were civilians.And yet other documentaries say that a barracks at hiroshima had 20,000 troops.Surely it doesn"t class troops as "innocent" Also, how do stop proliferation with countries like North Korea and Iran who don't give a rats ass about your treties?

[gsayers54]

To the person who made this video, appreciation is in order for putting this together to show us what things really were like. Unfortunately, you have to recognize and accept that these dates, actions, and unfortunate events were all necessary to our existence right now. If these bombs were not used during this time, we could easily be throwing them around right now like playing hot potato. One must know the true destruction of the deadliest force in war to be able to control it.

[JRKtheAdobeDude]

Oh yeah, don't worry, I understand that we'd be living in a different world today if we hadn't done what we did. I just thought I'd present it leaning against the use of the bomb, because I've heard more people say it was necessary than it wasn't. I prefer to let people get at least both sides before they make a judgment.

[easton497]

mankind's greatest achievement

[texcc789us]

the japs wanted to catch us with our pants down after they dicked us around with "talks" for months..and the did...SOOO they got their shit back ten fold civilians or not THATS WAR suck it up

[mp3runner16]

amen 2 that

[joshuasocean]

what you sow, so shall you reap. time is up!

[imb4u2]

No one asked the Japanese to bomb Pearl Harbor, the act that started the war. If the bomb hadn't been used it is estimated that another 500,000 people would have died, many of whom would have been American, Canadian, UK and Aussies. just think as you read this. If you are American, Canadian, Brit, Aussie Jaspanese Chinese or Russian you might not exist because your grandfather , father, mother or grandmother was killed before you were concieved and your life would never have begun.

[minishakey]

i agree with the person above it was devasttating and a last resort to the americans to stop the japanese onceand 4 all a baby was born purple!

[OTBstudios]

nice bombs

awesome

[ElDoctorJanItor]

How could you say that? Awesome? You disgust me!

This is supposed to show the scale of the destruction caused by these awful devices... To inform people that these aren't just pretty things that go "Boom!".

They quickly killed over 100,000 people, and slowly and agonizingly destroyed thousands more! How is that awesome? Huh?

[Abercr0mbie4life]

Because they were bad guys you ass

[Malphas87]

"bad guys"? Where the civilians that got cought up in the bombs BAD GUYS? What the FUCK are you smoking you retard?!

[jumpacliff2]

Too bad, that's war.
