I’ve read a couple of similar books. One about japanese submariners atrocities, and one about land forces. It’s amazing that we’re still building memorials to the Nazi’s victims, but few people even know what the japs did. How about the germ warfare that’s still killing people in Asia?

The only “atrocity” academics want to see is the racism of Americans against the Japanese in WWII.

We made cartoons of them with buck-teeth and slanty eyes... They think that’s a greater crime than everything Felton describes in his book.

Agreed.  You (and others) may find this FR thread interesting, although incredibly saddening.

Beheaded at whim and worked to death Japan's repugnant treatment of Allied PoWs

How about the germ warfare that’s still killing people in Asia?

Please forgive my ignorance; I'm not sure that I'm familiar with what you're referring to.  Do you mean germ warfare munitions from WW2?

when european descent people are murdered at the hands of others, it is ignored. it is only the mean disgusting white people who are condemned for their actions.

I recently read that syphillus was one of the diseases the american indians gave europeans. I am sure there is more.

Iris Chang wrote a stunning book The Rape of Nanking that detailed the attrocities the Japanese Army committed when they took the city of Nanking but failed to keep the Chinese Army from escaping. The Japanese took their frustrations out on the civilians of Nanking, killing over 300,000 in less than three months. They even had beheading contests to see which officer could behead more people before getting worn out.

Mrs. Chang was working on another book, this time detailing the horrors of the Battan Death March, when she suffered a nervous breakdown, likely attributed to the horrific materials she was dealing with on a daily basis, and committed suicide in November, 2004.

They were far worse than the Germans. I think it had something to do with the fact that at least germans had a more or less christian background but not the Japanese. Their religious beliefs caused them to do these horrific things to others. Like Muzzies, I’m afraid.

The Nazi's knew more, they went straight to the Top.
