Hell In The Pacific - Purgatory - part 5 of 5

After Pearl Harbour was struck, the Japanese swept across the Pacific. Thousands of Americans and Filipinos died on the Bataan Death March and prisoners were forced to labour for the Japanese, building the infamous Thai-Burma 'death' railway.

But the Allies struck back. 'Doolittle's Raiders' flew from an aircraft carrier to bomb Tokyo itself. The Battle of Midway halted Japanese naval expansion, while U.S. Marines on Guadalcanal learned to take no prisoners.

Australian forces defending their homeland against invasion turned back the Japanese in New Guinea - a brutal fight against desperate troops, some of whom turned to cannibalism.

@sethzky77 It just takes the right circumstances to turn a human into an animal. Just in the second world war, 3 nations did so on a grand scale: germany, japan and russia.

Wow!! What a great program I stumbled upon this by luck, and I am thankful I did. These people did really go through a living hell. May they all rest in peace. You will always have my respect.

God bless those guys, they really experienced a true hell on earth...

And the funny thing, well, it's not really funny, that the Japanese of Today will deny that anything like that ever happened...

China and Korea should have combined forces and devastated Japan in a massive invasion in revenge for brutalization of the poor Filipinos...I'm Chinese, and I know I would have fought to the death besides the Filipinos against the Japanese if I had the chance...I mean, we're all family, right?

Why do humans continue to slaughter one another?
