en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjing_Massacre#Rape

> In November 1937, after their successful invasion of Shanghai, the Japanese launched a massive attack on the newly established capital of the Republic of China. When the city fell on December 13, 1937, Japanese soldiers began an orgy of cruelty seldom if ever matched in world history. Tens of thousands of young men were rounded up and herded to the outer areas of the city, where they were mowed down by machine guns, used for bayonet practice, or soaked with gasoline and burned alive. By the end of the massacre an estimated 260,000 to 350,000 Chinese had been killed. Between 20,000 and 80,000 Chinese women were raped --and many soldiers went beyond rape to disembowel women, slice off their breasts, nail them alive to walls. So brutal were the Japanese in Nanking that even the Nazis in the city were shocked. John Rabe, a German businessman who led the local Nazi party, joined other foreigners in working tirelessly to save the innocent from slaughter by creating a safety zone where some 250,000 civilians found shelter.

The film is just as much about how the Japanese culture of the era lead to such tragedy. It's more "Fuck this shitty world" than "Fuck the west"

lol a cartoon

>The rape of Nanking is considered the worst mass rape of world history with the sole exception of the treatment of Bengali women by Pakistani soldiers in 1971. Kozo Takokoro, a former soldier in the 114th Division of the Japanese army in Nanking, recalled, ""No matter how young or old, they all could not escape the fate of being raped. We sent out coal trucks from Hsiakwan to the city streets and villages to seize a lot of women. And then each of them was allocated to 15 to 20 soldiers for sexual intercourse and abuse.''

>THE MILITARY POLICY forbidding rape only encouraged soldiers to kill their victims afterwards. Kozo Takokoro was blunt about this. ""After raping, we would also kill them,'' he recalled. ""Those women would start to flee once we let them go. Then we would bang! shoot them in the back to finish them up.'' According to surviving veterans, many of the soldiers felt remarkably little guilt about this. ""Perhaps when we were raping her, we looked at her as a woman,'' Shiro Azuma, a former soldier in Nanking, wrote, ""but when we killed her, we just thought of her as something like a pig.''

Why couldn't he just get a job?

Japs were worse than Nazis, they deserve to sympathy.

>"Few know that soldiers impaled babies on bayonets and tossed them still alive into pots of boiling water,'' Nagatomi said. ""They gang-raped women from the ages of twelve to eighty and then killed them when they could no longer satisfy sexual requirements. I beheaded people, starved them to death, burned them, and buried them alive, over two hundred in all. It is terrible that I could turn into an animal and do these things. There are really no words to explain what I was doing. I was truly a devil.''

>As the Japanese soldiers swarmed through the city, no one was safe - especially Chinese women. The Japanese troops went from house to house, looking for Chinese soldiers to execute. Whenever they found a woman, they proceeded to rape her and sometimes killed her.

>Japanese soldiers killed the women "in a number of horrific ways, including having their vaginas being penetrated with bayonets, bamboo poles, and other objects. Others were captured and held as sex slaves." Gang rape and brutal murder were widespread in Nanjing. Pregnant women were stabbed in the belly, some had their breasts sliced off, and others were nailed to walls while they were still alive.


>The children of Nanjing were shown little mercy from the Japanese soldiers. Some were beaten until they were maimed for life, losing their eyesight or limbs. Others were shot or stabbed to death after their mothers were raped and killed. Girls as young as 13 were gang raped, and babies were tossed in the air and pierced by bayonets for sport.

What a time to be a Jap soldier. That must have been amazing.

They don't even really portray Americans as the bad guy in this, they're just some nameless enemy. Whereas the real enemies were the apathy and ruthlessness of Wartime Japanese Society that got these children, along with many others, killed.

I think that's part of the theme. If he just showed humility and worked at that shitty job he had while living with his distant relatives, they would have been fine, even if it sucked every second of every day. But he had enough of Haiti shitty relatives and that shitty job so he decided to take his sister and get the fuck out of there.
So etching about if you can confirm to the shit in society you can make a living even if you have to do shit you don't always want to do. Or you can choose another way, but you better know what the fuck you're doing because no one will be there to save you. He chose the latter and his sister died because of it.

>A Japanese soldier recounted how, when he stumbled upon a Chinese woman and her baby, he became so enraged by the incessant crying of the child that he tore the babe from the screaming mother's arms and tossed it into a boiling vat of water. When the mother attempted to rescue her child, he kicked her and raped her.

I'm aware of the notable hindsight bias that follows the atomic bombings, but did the U.S. military not consider detonating it on rural/suburban Japan as a show of force - and then dropping it on a major city/port if the Japanese refused to comply with surrender terms?

The funny thing is, the sister would have survived if the brother would have just done the chores around his aunts house. Like every kid in those days had to do.

>Rape ran rampant throughout the six weeks of the Nanjing Massacre. The open assaults shocked civilians as Japanese soldiers went from house to house, looking for any female victims. Eventually, soldiers grew tired of having to find women, so they began to take them away and stockpile them in houses as sex slaves. A 15-year-old girl told John G. Magee, an American missionary, about such an experience:

>She was carried off to some barracks where there were some 200 to 300 soldiers. She was kept in a room and her clothes taken away and there raped a number of times daily for about a month and a half when she took sick and they were afraid to use her. She told me that there were a number of other girls held there in the same way as herself.

>With the initial invasion of Nanjing came several executions. While gunning down victims and throwing the bodies into trenches was a common practice, so was burying them alive. Groups of victims would be forced into a hole and have dirt heaped on top of them as several Japanese soldiers watched.

>Some prisoners were tied together in groups, doused in fuel, and lit on fire. Some groups had grenades tossed among them. One female prisoner caked herself in mud to hide, but was found, locked in a shed with straw, and burned to death.

>Japanese soldiers used Chinese soldiers in live demonstrations about how to kill with a bayonet. Chinese troops were slaughtered in practice drills outlining the most effective way to behead enemies.

And Germany still arrests 90 year old grandmas that may have once aided a Nazi.

I believe the US dropped leaflets warning people. Also Hiroshima wasn't that population dense, it was more of a military/industrial town.

Also what does it matter, that still didn't make the Japs surrender and we had to do it again a few days later.

They didn't bomb Japan to scare the Emperor, it was a show of force against the Russians.
As the war was coming to an end Western Allies where already worried about Stalin.

It would've taken another couple of months to get more nukes ready.

That would be the stupidest waste of money and 5 years of research ever.

If America was the good guy they would have dropped more than two nukes on the slant eyed nipmonkey inbred island koreans.

the whole point was to test its effectiveness on a real human bean city

they only had enough weapons grade material to make 2 bombs.

when they dropped the first some people thought that was all they had, then they dropped the second and everyone was like shit, how many do they have?
In reality they were bluffing and probably didnt want to waste their 2 chances

This movie isn't even about the nukes. It was about the conventional firebombing.

The US was on another level of "sick of this shit" by that point and wasn't taking anymore chances or wasting money on a rural target. Plus given that the Japs did not surrender after the first bomb anyway, you're basically asking for three bombs at that point. It would have taken some time before that bomb dropped though.

The Japanese had been thoroughly dehumanized already from countless stories of their brutality, no one, anywhere, was going to suggest the US drop a bomb that wouldn't lead to immediate surrender. At least on paper, because the Japanese still didn't surrender after the first one.

We were. We freed them from the brainwashing of oppressive imperial rule. Sometimes people have to die for the greater good. Welcome to adulthood.

Well that live action Berserk movie is coming along nicely

That's not true at all. Japan and America have great diplomatic relations and have for decades. Learn some history and world politics.

War is all about proportionality, more military were hurt hurt and destroyed than civilian in the firebombings, therefore it was justified.

Can a history buff tell what the Japanese hoped to achieve by antagonizing the Americans in the first place ?

You'd be shocked at the comparative sizes of the Japanese and U.S. militaries at the start of the war. I guess they figured we couldn't ramp up our war machine so quickly.

A fate worse than death.

their goal was to knock out the pacific fleet to give them time to consolidate their hold of the pacific. usa got lucky on more than one occasion or it would have worked. Chief among those occasions was that both the pacific carriers were not docked at pearl harbor when it was attacked. And coral sea had a lot of random bullshit happen to both sides it's actually kinda interesting to learn about.

You know some slant is always boiling water for tea or rice, and probably in big pots in an area filled with soldiers.

Why didn't they just build a trampoline across the city and bounce the bomb back to the plane?

Attached: 1538518007562.webm (1280x732, 1.5M)

Everyone learned a lesson there.

Now the US and Japan are besties.

Pearl Harbor was part of a synchronized strike along with other European colonial targets in the Pacific. The goal there was to smash up the Navy’s Pacific fleet bad enough that they wouldn’t recover in time to provide assistance and the Japanese could negotiate a peace from a position of strength. Funny enough, the attack was supposed to be timed after their diplomat gave Washington a formal declaration of war but the strike occurred before he could. Tells you something about the Japanese mentality that they though the US would be less pissed off about the attack if they filed the correct paperwork first.

They did. They just miscalculated the angle the bomb would need to bounce at to hit the plane, and the bomb ended up blowing up Nagasaki instead of the intended target.

Most of the American hatred fell away once the Japanese people realised that the occupied government treated them better than life under the Imperial regime. Besides, Japan's real beef lay with the East Asia campaign, combat with the Americans was envisioned as a stepping stone towards achieving continental dominance.

>the attack was supposed to be timed after their diplomat gave Washington a formal declaration of war
why? why inform your enemy that you're going to attack him?

Wasn't it Oppenheimer that said "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."? It seems like he was kind of scared of what he had done and the consequences of the nuclear weapons. I'm pulling that analysis out of my ass, but it seems like that's what he meant. Or maybe he was saying it as "fuck yeah look at this shit I made", I dunno.

yeah, that's usually how a declaration of war works

International laws about declarations of war.
Basically the message sent by the japanese forces was sent before the attack, but encrypted, and by the time their embassy decoded and and transmitted it, the bombs had already dropped. You could argue the japanese knew how much time it would take to get the message across and were just putting up a pretense of lawfulness but at this point it's just speculation and doesn't really matter anyway.

If only they could have seen it coming when they attacked a massive country with nearly unlimited wealth and resources compared to their shitty mountain archipelago with just bamboo and rice.

Same reason false flag attacks are a thing, so you can pretend to be the good guy

it is. otherwise the movie wouldnt exist

America actually got pretty lucky, if you read about the subject you'll realize their entire fleet was in Pearl Harbor and they only took it like days before out of pure luck.

Also several situations during the Pacific war benefit Americans, again, out of pure luck.

But Pearl Harbor was in itself a hail Mary, Japan had like oil for 1 year, it was war or slowly dying.

it's based on a short story that is basically the author's work of penance. he tells how he was a lazy sack of shit hiding behind the guise of war and "fuck this society" attitude, failed to provide for his infant sister, and even molested her. she ended up dieing, but he didn't (unlike the film).

sure he was a young man at the time and shouldn't have even been in the position to make those decisions, but he still felt a lot of guilt for what he did

the film simplified it into a less personal "war is bad" message that played well to crowds and critics

oh I completely agree, I just wanted to point out there wasn't any concrete evidence

Unit 731 (Japanese: 731部隊 Hepburn: Nana-san-ichi Butai) was a covert biological and chemical warfare research and development unit of the Imperial Japanese Army that undertook lethal human experimentation during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) of World War II. It was responsible for some of the most notorious war crimes carried out by Imperial Japan. Unit 731 was based at the Pingfang district of Harbin, the largest city in the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo (now Northeast China).

Human experimentation included but was not limited to: Vivisection, bioweapon testing, rape, testing the spread of untreated syphilis as well as testing numerous other harmful phenomena on the human body such as frostbite and starvation.

Holy fuck, how do surviving flamethrower dudes not have severe PTSD?

not anime, but check out

But user...America also raped and killed their way through Asia, there're several instances. Not in the level of Nankin, but still pretty fucked up.

They decided that they were going to cement their absolute control of East Asia by pouncing on Indonesia, at the time a Dutch colony with desperately-needed oil, and picking off Malaysia and Singapore on their way there, both British colonies. The Japs didn't understand how prevalent isolationism was in the US and thought FDR was such great buttbudies with Britain that their new invasions would be the final straw in terms of war, so they decided to also take the Philippines, a U.S. Colony, and then try to destroy the U.S. pacific fleet with a sneak attack, eradicating Western naval presence in Asia. By the time the U.S. was able to rebuild their fleet and start pushing west from Hawaii, the Japs hoped they would have consolidated control so heavily that it would have been impossible to dislodge them.

This was the same strategy they used to win against the Russians in 1905, and they hoped that the same outcome, where the average Russian didn't feel like fighting gooks to protect colonial interests and forced their leaders to let the Japs rape all the Koreans they wanted in peace, would happen here as well.

In that case, we should give Japan praise for what they did to the Chinese locusts.

The Japanese government was carrying out an illegal war, was refusing to surrender despite clearly having lost, and civilians were fully in support of this course of action and were going to be armed and told to fight (and die, by the millions) in the event of an invasion.

The nukes not only saved more American lives, but very probably also saved more Japanese lives if they sped up the end of the war.

We do. Why do you think we don't care about that shit, yet at the same time demonize the nazis despite the fact that their warcrimes were but a fraction of the Japanese?

Holy shit you're retarded.
Obviously the total defeat of the Japanese armed forces in the Pacific theater by America mattered. If Japan won every battle in the Pacific they wouldn't be in a position where they had to decide whether to unconditionally surrender. This isn't part of the conversation at all.

The issue that's being disputed is whether the atomic bombs were decisive in forcing the surrender. Since Japan had already shown that they didn't particularly mind the destruction of their cities (if they did they would have surrendered when it was obvious they couldn't do anything to protect them against regular bombing raids), there has to be some other variable that weighed on their minds. And since we KNOW that Japan's strategy at this point in the war was to try to achieve a conditional peace where they keep their overseas territory via pitting the USSR & US against each other at the negotiating table we can see why the Soviet declaration of war and invasion totally ruined every reason for continuing the conflict in a way that the atomic bombs did not.

it's called a blood feud and human beings are not rational
country A kills one innocent person by mistake and now a fanatic group of country B goes out for vengeance but kills an innocent in country A by mistake. shit spirals out of control suddenly you got thousands of innocent people dying with families and communities who want nothing more than the opposing country to be burned to ashes

>Anything Japan did in China
>not evil and more heinous than anything the nazis or russians did

Hiroshima was an unrivaled tragedy that Japan brought upon itself. It was a humbling experience.

>and even molested her
WHAT THE FUCK

>That's not true at all.
Explain the movie in OP butthurt user.

That's a lot of projection there my weeb friend.

If this was on /int/ you'd have japniggers claim everything they did was made up propaganda.

No, America was evil, but its soldiers were as innocent as any nations

This, that's a 13 y/o commie take

The nazis were just angels desu senpai.

Maybe firebombing was business as usual for him but when it came to lil boy and big guy he couldn’t but be in awe at the size of those lads.

Imagine if Historians thought this way.
Oh, we'll take this State of the Union speech from George Bush for why America invaded iraq at face value. The iraqis simply hated American freedom!

funny thing is that the US's postwar policy of pardoning Japanese war criminals helped turn China commie. Chiang cracked down on protests against leniency for the Japs as "communist" and a lot of Nationalists threw their lot in with the Reds because they seemed to be the best path forward for an independent China
American blowback is like a slapstick comedy

I heard the same excuse with the nukes by americans: "japanese were warned about the atomic bombs and didn't listen, so, they deserved it!". I like how you can always use the same template for justifying any shit.

Well, yeah. That's why they love puppet states.

I hate both, and all east-asians in general. They're fucking bugs.

they are actually still communist

You really believe all this bullshit? Jews aren’t the only ones capable of making shit up. Japs are extremely honororabur.

>REEE GET OUT OF OUR BUISNESS AMERICA
>REEE HELP US AMERICA

>implying subhumans know what they want
They just want to blame America for all of their problems, just like everyone else.

I like mocking burgers as much as the next guy, but being this butthurt and resorting to historical revisionism on such a shoddy basis only reflects poorly on whatever shitheel country you're from lad.

I wonder how many Japanese filmmakers, actors, or manga/anime artists were soldiers who participated in either this event or another war crime, but were never prosecuted.

Every last one of them.

America is a villain in every story
It's quite literally the modern empire of evil and all the bad shit in the world is started by USA
Terrorism? Sponsored by USA since the 70's
SJWs and feminism? USA is at fault
The agressive propaganda of degeneracy? USA is at fault
Refugees crisis and shit? USA is at fault
The list can go on and on but America is "a good guy" only because they wage the culture war on the world and most of the media is made in USA with the American audience in mind.

This is the hardest redpill to swallow.

Nope, America are not the good guys. But Japan are not the good guys either.
