My Dad was in the navy during the War in the Pacific and briefly in the occupation army after Japan surrendered. He told me that the Japanese were like a hive of bees working to clean up and rebuild.

In one of Steven Ambrose's WWII books, he wrote that after gathering all the horrific experiences from the GIs, he asked which people did they most admire.

To his surprise, the majority answered "The Germans". The common thread was that, as they blasted their way through a town, by time they got to the other side, the German citizens behind them were cleaning up the debris.

I suppose that may be one reason why the Japanese and Germans got along so well— they both like order.
