[QUOTE=Mokkan13;24033818]Interesting read. I think the worst way to die in WW2 would have been the mustard gas.[/QUOTE] WUT? Mustard Gas was outlawed after WW1... Was never used afterward. The only gases used in WW2 was a very crude tear gas.
The Dresden firebombing was pretty terrible
I read an article about everything the Japanese did to the Chinese prisoners in WWII. I'll dig it up here quick. [editline]12:28PM[/editline] [url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-439776/Doctors-Depravity.html]Here[/url] it is. Unit 731 has already been posted but I still suggest you read it.
I read how the american went all paranoid with the war on Japan and put every japanese descendant person in the country in concentration camps where they starved to death. Also I read about the massive rape and looting spree that endured when the tired allied soldiers celebrated the victory in Berlin. It's not like the germans didn't suffer. Sure, holocaust is bad, but there's enough crazy facist in me to rant on the nazi side.
[QUOTE=samwilki;24034190]Third Battle of Ypres?[/QUOTE] That was WW1. [editline]01:39PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Black-Ice;24034157]Or he means the gas chambers used in the Concentration camps, but I don't think they were using mustard gas...[/QUOTE] Zyklon B is what they used.

[QUOTE=crackberry;24039136]The japanese were horrible tortures. They used women as sex slaves, civilians as dummies for target practice and bayonetting, not even going to begin on what they did to pows. The germans did well, the holocaust, and they executed mass amounts of people too. They both did crimes against humanity, hopefully no one will ever have to endure what they did ever again.[/QUOTE] Hitler was nice compared to some of the sickos in Japan.
is there a movie about the 731? i think i have seen something that resembles that

Sure, holocaust is bad, but there's enough crazy facist in me to rant on the nazi side.[/QUOTE] Being Japanese-American myself I can tell you that putting them into those camps purely because of their race was honestly unfair and unethical but I don't recall ever hearing that they were starved. They were treated fairly well aside from whatever harrassment came from the racial tension. The occupied Japanese had it really tough at first too. There were mass rapes on scales that dwarf Berlin. Most of which were organized. I recall reading a story where American GI's cut the phone and power to a hospital and systematically went room to room raping women young and old and executing witnesses. Gotta say though, the Americans really got Japan on the right track after that. Womens rights, democracy, establishing a stable economy and letting us keep our culture.
[QUOTE=toastedspyro;24039636]That is so fucked up. The doctors didn't even use anesthesia.[/QUOTE] You're worried about the fact they didn't use anesthesia? With or without it the stuff they did was disgusting, but the worst part is, the people who did this got off unscathed by the justice system because the US thought they had infomation that could be valuable to them, which in the end it turned out they didn't. Meaning these disgusting excusses for humans managed to dodge death sentences and in some cases, any sentence at all.
[QUOTE=3picFail;24038050]I'm not saying that the trenches were the problem, it was mainly the conditions that they endured in the trenches.[/quote] Conditions in the trenches weren't fun, but they were a lot better than the ones you found in WWI. As I said, trenches in WWII were mostly temporary, and thus weren't vermin-infested quagmires. [QUOTE=3picFail;24038050]I disliked the story of ann frank because it is so popular but yet there were so many worse situations.[/quote] Of course there were worse situations, but you can't discount one situation just because it is 'popular'. [QUOTE=3picFail;24038050]just because a few soldiers had it well didn't mean all of them did. The whole point of this thread is discussing what they had to endure, not who got the better side of the war.[/QUOTE] You missed my point. You made it sound like all soldiers had it bad - I was purely pointing out that it wasn't always so.

[QUOTE=Mac2468;24039811]The doctors were given orders from the emperor, not following orders from the emperor were not only an unspeakable thing but it was punishable by death.[/QUOTE] Thats like saying the SS where just taking orders to kill Jews.
[QUOTE=Mac2468;24039811]The doctors were given orders from the emperor, not following orders from the emperor were not only an unspeakable thing but it was punishable by death.[/QUOTE] So you rank orders above morals?
[QUOTE=David29;24040030]So you rank orders above morals?[/QUOTE] He's ranking survival over morals.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;24039840]Thats like saying the SS where just taking orders to kill Jews.[/QUOTE] I think it's a bit different in the Japanese case, to them the emperor was a god. I'm not saying what they did was right. They did it because it would have been sacrilegious not to. [editline]01:03PM[/editline] [QUOTE=David29;24040030]So you rank orders above morals?[/QUOTE] No but they did.
[QUOTE=Sata_Sonic;24033689]I found this up after random browsing, thought I would share. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanya_Savicheva[/url] Its a diary of a girl in the siege of Leningrad. It really helps if you know russian, but the translations there are just as good. Also, you can post your sad war moments and pictures :) lol its the girl from call of duty
the men behind the sun, was pretty graphic, anybody else seen it?

[QUOTE=X RaVeN;24040353]Okay now that's definetly fucked. Why would you need horse urine to be put into someones' kidney?[/QUOTE] They did it to see what it did to their system.
makes perfect sense to me :)

They did it because it would have been sacrilegious not to. [editline]01:03PM[/editline] No but they did.[/QUOTE] Its a little bit more than that, this came from military personal, most of the expermiments they did where just barbaric and unneeded. There is no excuse for what they did.
I remember reading something about Banzai Cliffs on Japanese islands. The Japanese military brainwashed the citizens by telling them how the Americans were brutal savages. This lead them to kill themselves rather than face us. Later, I saw some footage of the suicides on WWII in HD.
[QUOTE=ghostfais;24039728]is there a movie about the 731? i think i have seen something that resembles that[/QUOTE] Several actually. Men Behind the Sun, Philosophy of the Knife, and a few Japanese documentaries as well.
one word jews
[QUOTE=David29;24036320]Sorry, but I have to pick a few holes in some of your points: - Anne Frank I don't understand how you can say that Anne Frank is not an example of someone forced to hide and who was living in bad conditions. Of course, there are far worse conditions you could live in, but the fact that she was confined to a small area which she couldn't leave with a number of other people is not exactly a good living environment. [/QUOTE] Night by Elie Wiesel is a much better example.
What's really fucked about Unit 731 is many of the doctors went on to become rich and famous using the research they acquired from Unit 731.
