The U.S. Navy Presents: The Enemy Japan II - The People (1942)

[dadoody]

Americans helped feed and rebuild Japan after their huge earthquake only for them to bomb the US less than 2 decades later. How's that for gratitude?

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.

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.

[LordKaisen]

And FDR's fatal mistake

[LordKaisen]

How different life was back then..

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

I wonder if this man knew two caterpillars resided on his forehead?

[alexandramuses]

The odd thing is that it's actually giving solid historical facts (like the fact that the peasantry have been suppressed for thousands of years, and the censorship of media) but manages to twist it so that Japanese seem primitive and in need of modernization in some kind of proper way.

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

@alexandramuses well, they did need modernization of their industry for consumer goods and not war. So, that part was correct. But, I see you points.

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

This is a goldmine for music sampling. :D

[throwntomato]

5:05; never an inventive or creative people? they couldn't say that now... with all their innovations....

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

@throwntomato they invented sushi and that was a brilliant idea!!!!

[BakuhatsuShojo]

@throwntomato not only that, but the statement was just completely asinine to begin with. Japan had just recently been opened to the world. If anything they should have been respectful at how quickly it became a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention, in comparison to most of the western world before that era, during medieval times.. Japan held its own, if not led the race. The rest of the world fed off eachother for progression, the same as Japan did. Only Japan had to do it later in history
