Japanese soldiers stand in attention during sunrise in Wuchang, Wuhan, China, 1938. Colourised by Julius Jaaskelainen.

Yeah that’s what I always try to enlighten people about, in America you’ll hear about how the Nazi’s were the worst because of this and that, very often... but had they known about Japanese atrocities, it wouldn’t even compare. Nazi concentration camps were mostly labor camps, and large majority died from disease and starvation...

The Japanese? Running through the streets of Nanking and bayoneting civilians to rack up points in contests like some sort of savagery you’d see in video games, barbaric like, and beheadings if they felt like it. The Nazi’s were a bit more discreet but it wasn’t anything like the real killing fields that the Japanese ran
