As a military historian, I can say without equivocation that no combatant country in World War II, not even the Germans, has a record of atrocity more cruel, more barbaric, more hideous than the Japanese. Much of it was hushed up after the war, but the stories have gotten out. This video should be an object lesson in that barbarity. Unfortunately, unlike Germany, Japanese children are not taught their history and so the young Japanese live in blissful ignorance of their disgusting legacy.
