Great Tokyo Air Raids(Mar.10. 1945) US Army carried out an air raid bomber to Tokyo. US Army massacred over 100,000 Japanese noncombatant by Great Tokyo Air Raids. US Army planned to burn Japanese civilians (Japanese women, children and old people) to death massacre from the beginning. US Army developed new type incendiary bombs and made a detailed plan to slaughter Japanese civilians efficiently. This is just unforgivable "GENOCIDE". America ought to apologize for America's GENOCIDE. A total of 325 B-29 bombers came to Tokyo on May 10 of 1945, and started bombing in the dead hours of the night sneakingly. These B29 bombed targets densely-populated section (Asakusa, Kinshicho, Kameari) of Tokyo not military facilities. The purpose of US' bombing was obviously "GENOCIDE of noncombatant". This bombing continued up to the early morning. The death toll hit 100,000. Most of victims were children, women and old people. America has NEVER ONCE apologized to Japan. And more, after bombing, many P51 was flying at low altitude and looked for survivers and conducted air strafing with laughing. The victims of Tokyo bombing reached 100,000. Almost of 100,000 victimes were women and children and old people. Slaughtering noncombatant like women and children is called "Genocide". Becuase the slaughter like this is not necessary for the war. This is all too real of Americans. We Japanese NEVER forgive Great Tokyo Air Raids for ever.

The innocent people were being burnt to death while they were still alive. Smell of burning human flesh was drifting in air. A man who reproduced images of Tokyo Massacre on canvas recalls that he was so devastated to see a child lying on the ground and a mother just motionlessly standing like a ghost.

Another man recalls that thousands of people who rushed to Kototoi Bridge (23 meters in width and 239 meters in length) from both sides of Sumida River had been instantly engulfed in fire. They were all screaming while being suffocated and being incinerated on the bridge.

Strong wind was blowing at 00:08 AM on March 10, 1945 when the first incendiary bombs were dropped. In a matter of ten or twenty minutes, fire had spread to engulf the wide area. An elementary school (reinforced concrete building) designated as an evacuation site was packed with hundreds of people.

They were soon baked to death as they were trapped inside the building. They couldn't get the steel doors opened because those doors were deformed due to the intense heat. The building itself was transformed into a gas chamber and at the same time into an incinerator.

I consider it as a grave violation of a very basic understanding behind "Peace Treaty" that U.S. has brought up an issue of "comfort women" once again.

U.S. Congress should be blamed for the act of bringing up "comfort women". I understand their feelings in a sense that what U.S. did to Japan could be worse than what Adolf Hitler did to the Jews. Say, for example, a great number of people was murdered at Auschwitz. However, we should remember that by Tokyo air raid, more than 100,000 innocent civilians were burned to death just in one night.

How many months do you think it took the Nazi Germany to burn more than 100,000 Jews at Auschwitz? I would say it took about a year. But U.S. burned that many people just in one night. Not only Tokyo but also more than 60 cities, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki where nuclear bombs were dropped.

March 10, 1945-a date of Tokyo Massacre that should be remembered by every man with some degree of decency as a historic moment when more than 100,000 innocent civilians, including unborn babies, babies, children, women, aged people were baked to death by dropping not only 1,700 tons of incendiary bombs but also some napalm bombs to maximize the effect of air raid.

No matter how precisely I describe the atrocity of exterminating more than 100,000 innocent noncombatants less than three hours based on testimonies made by some survivors, a majority of Americans will probably laugh it off.

Tokyo was like a gas chamber and at the same time an incinerator-the largest ever created-too large to compare with one devised to exterminate the Jews at Auschwitz. Extermination of race which we must strongly condemn is the highest degree of prejudice among five degrees of prejudice; dislike, apathy, discrimination, physical attack, and extermination.
