Four Japanese soldiers, including Hiroo Onoda, who hid in the jungle of the Philippines and continued the operation for 29 years.
Hiroo Onoda: Entered Kurume Daiichi Army Preparatory Officer School in January 1944. In December of the same year, he was assigned to the 14th Area Army Intelligence Department, which was in charge of the Philippine Defense Campaign, and was dispatched to the Philippines with the duties of a remnant and commander of the game. The division commander, Lieutenant General Shizuo Yokoyama, said, "Break the jade is not at all . Do your best for 3 or 5 years. I will definitely pick you up. Be done. After the end of the war, the Japanese government knew from information from the Philippines that Japanese soldiers were hiding in the Jaguru on Lubang Island, and various search activities were carried out, but the four Japanese soldiers did not appear.
Yuichi Akatsu: He left the group in September 1949 and surrendered to the US military in June 1950.
Shoichi Shimada: He died in a shooting battle with the Philippine police force on May 7, 1954, when he was shot through his eyebrows. He is 41 years old.
Kinshichi Kozuka: He was shot in the shoulder and died in a shooting battle with the Philippine police force in January 1972. He is 51 years old.
The Filipino government searched for Japanese soldiers, sometimes in a shooting battle.
In 1974, Norio Suzuki, an adventurer inspired by search activities, visited Lubang Island and succeeded in contacting Onoda. In the conversation, Onoda tells him that he will surrender if instructed by his superior. Onoda, who had been hiding for 29 years, read newspaper articles left by the Japanese search team and knew information about Japan's postwar economic development. But then why he couldn't find the command system , and why he didn't command himself was the reason he didn't surrender.
Onoda will leave the jungle in response to an order to cancel the mission by his former superior, Taniguchi.
(1) Due to a great command, the armed group will be released from all operational actions.
(2) The staff member's group will be released from all duties according to Sakumei Ko No. 2003.
(3) Each unit belonging to the General Staff Department and the persons concerned are directly involved in the battle and the work is stopped. If you don't get it, you can contact the U.S. Army or the Philippine Army directly.
Even after Mr. Kotsuka passed away and became alone, his hiding life continued, and his duties were canceled by his former superior.
failure of the Pearl Harbor atJapan's biggest failure in the Pacific War was the not of landing operations in the Pearl Harbor attacks.If Japan were to take over Hawaii, it would be completely the opposite and could attack the U.S. mainland with Hawaii.On the contrary, the United States, based in Hawaii, acquired Guam, Saipan and Palau after the Battle of Midway, enabling mainland attacks on Japan.Japan and the United States are too far away, and Hawaii is an important base and fueling point.
In fact, even in the United States, if Hawaii had been taken by Japan, the United States would have to prepare for peace at that time.Some argue that Japan's landing ships and warships at that time could have carried out landing operations, but if so, Pearl Harbor should have been attacked after preparation for landing operations.Yamamoto Isoroku's blunder.
The Greater East Asia War and the spirit of Kazuu Hakko have been erased from history Did Japan just invade?
Greater East Asia War erased from history
Kazuu Hakko is the spirit of world peace
Kazuu Hakko disappeared
Japanese who saved Jews
A time when ethnic discrimination was common
World War II included the European War, the Greater East Asia War, and the Pacific War. GHQ banned the official use of the words Greater East Asia War and Hakko Ichiu.
In Europe, Nazi Germany invaded, and the Pacific War was a war between Japan and the United States, but what happened in Asia has been omitted. There are also stories of the Sino-Japanese War, the Manchurian Incident, and the enslavement of the Korean Peninsula, which never happened.
Hakko Ichiu is the spirit advocated by Japan during the Greater East Asia War, and although it is a worldview centered on the Emperor that is a departure from current values, the essence is a world in which the world respects each other without discrimination of ethnic groups. It means to make.
This was the idea of Greater East Asia in confronting Western colonies. GHQ has historically erased the truth underlying these words and ideas. The intention is clear, Japan's war is simply a war of aggression, and the story is that America stopped it.
Hitoshi Imamura, who fought for the liberation of Indonesia, rejected the coercive policy theory as clearly going against the spirit of Kazuu Hakko, and did not change his conciliatory policy.
Kiichiro Higuchi, who rescued Jews fleeing Nazi persecution, also carried out his duties based on the spirit of Kazuu Hakko. The assimilation policy on the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan is based on Kazuu Hakko's idea that once people become part of the same nation, they will be treated as people without distinction.
It is difficult to say whether Kazuu Hakko's spirit is correct in modern times from the perspective of people's right to self-determination, but the world at that time was full of ethnic discrimination, and the world economy was built on this premise, and the dominant ethnic group was divided into It was a time when people were divided into dominant ethnic groups.
Although there is no such thing as a good war, Japan at the time did not invade Asia just to plunder it. Think about why it was removed from history.
There are 14 questions about the Nanjing massacre.Witnesses and trials that only raise questions.Let's count 100,000 people.
1. The Tokyo Tribunal and the Nanjing Military Tribunal were held at the same time, but 300,000 people were killed in the Nanjing Military Tribunal.In the Tokyo trial, there were more than 100,000 people who did not reach 200,000 people, but I wonder if the evidence was shared.What is the error between 100,000 and 200,000?
2.John Labe, a German who stood on the stand at the Tokyo trial, testified that 50,000 people were slaughtered. Where did this figure come from?How many 50,000 people have fled alone?Even if there are no obstacles at all, it will be hard work.If you have time to answer questions 1 and 2, try searching for and counting images of Michigan Stadium (107,601 seating capacity) .
3. More than 100 air strikes have been carried out against civilians, with 100,000 deaths per air raid.The first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima killed 80,000 people and Nagasaki killed 60,000 people.At that time, there was a Japanese army in Nanjing that had more destructive power than the atom bomb.This is definitely the strongest army in the world.Then why did Japan lose the war?
4.Let's see how we can kill 300,000 people.Direct artillery and grenades such as tanks and cannons will not be effective for people fleeing in all directions.Then why don't you lock civilians in buildings that you can't escape?So I remember Auschwitz, the largest Jewish camp in the Nazis.However, the maximum capacity is only 20,000 people, so would it be possible to make more than 10 in three days?But how should civilians be taken there?
5.Reverend Maggie, an American who stood on the witness stand at the Tokyo trial, complained of slaughter, but when asked how many he actually saw, he found 1 murder, 1 rape and 1 theft.100,000 → 200,000 → 300,000 people were killed, and where was he?
6.When the Japanese army arrived in Nanjing, the Kuomintang commander left the army behind and panicked, dressed in casual clothes and dressed as civilians, fled to their homes to continue fighting.How should soldiers and civilians be distinguished?For good soldiers who continue to fight with civilians as shields.
7.The Nanjing Safety Zone records that most of the Nanjing citizens have evacuated to the Nanjing Safety Zone (non-combat zones under international law).And The Japanese military did not attack the Nanjing Safe Zone.The Nanjing Safe Zone testified, but who did the Japanese army kill?
8. John Rabe wrote in his later Rabe diary that he witnessed the killing of civilians by the Japanese army with Mosel guns.Mr. Rabe, please check one thing.At that time, there was no Moselle gun in Japan.This is a Chinese gun. And the Moselle gun is your motherland.Isn't it manufactured in Germany?
9.Rabe's diary says that the body of a woman with bamboo stuck in her genital organs is scattered everywhere.In Japan, there are cases of rape and murder of women, but there is no custom of stabbing bamboo in the genital organs.What country's custom is this?And whose work is it?
10.Before marching to Nanjing, there was a big battle in Shanghai.Defeated Chinese troops carried out scorched soil operations.It is a withdrawal that sets fire to the streets, robs money and goods, rapes, and leaves nothing to be gained even if enemy soldiers occupy it.At the same time, soldiers can get spoils even though they are defeated.It was an operation carried out by the Qing army, which fought and fled to the Korean Peninsula during the Gapsin Incident.
11. Nanjing Safety Zone was also a place to grasp the population of Nanjing.War refugees and others kept resident records to evacuate to the Nanjing Safe Zone and immigrate.The population recorded just before the Japanese attack on Nanjing was 200,000 .The Japanese military seems to have killed civilians over the population.
12. China's first unified family register management began in 1958 with the Doorway Registration Ordinance.Until then, China's population had accumulated only what it had recorded in its own way in the administrative divisions of the region, but there was no unified management was carried out.What kind of resident records did the Nanjing Military Court adopt?
13. Fifty-nine thousand people died in the Great East Japan Earthquake. How can you figure out the number of deaths?This is common in other large-scale disasters.It's not a foolish way to count dead bodies or adopt rumors.The number of deaths + missing + number of survivors = the current number of residents will be deducted from the increase in the number of new residents due to migration.Then, when the number of missing people is confirmed to be dead, it moves on to the number of deaths.Counting the number of victims of the earthquake with the naked eye?It's impossible.
14. The Nanjing Safe Zone record increased to 250,000 people in January of the following month.The number of civilians over the population has increased by 50,000 in a month.What kind of magic did the Japanese Army use?
There are many contradictions about the Nanjing incident.In the first place, the Far East Military Tribunal held at the same time and the Nanjing Military Tribunal are completely different.
