The japanese killed about 200k people through several brutal methods of execution varying from drowning to burning alive to tying young men to a post and repeatedly stabbing them with a bayonet. The japs would have contests to see how many chinese they could kill with a sword.
Now the holocaust killed 11-17m people over 12 years, which is horrible. But the japanese were above that kind of pace, without the relatively efficient ways of killing people (the gas chambers etc).
But that's just imo, and I can understand different points of view.
Wow, I now understand my GF's hatred against the Japanese and Japan better. I wouldn't compare it with the holocaust as that was not really 1 single event, but at least the German soldiers had proper orders and behaved war-like.
What maybe even upsets me the most is that there are people denying this. Can anyone explain to me how someone can deny this kind of bull****? Whether it is some middle-eastern countries denying the holocaust, Japanese denying this or the Turkish denying the armenian genocide.
There is ****ing proof for all this ****... wtf.
