Admiral Yamamoto was correct when he said after learning Pearl Harbor had been attacked before a Declaration of War was delivered: “I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a great resolve.” Thank you for this video as it showed how justice was delivered to those responsible for some of the most horrific and barbaric acts committed during the war in the Pacific.
I read a book about Japanese treatment of Allied prisoners, in one US camp the captives all gave some of their food to the biggest toughest guy. When the camp was liberated they all watched the guy beat the vicious commander to death by hand.
Hirohito didnt have any say about the war untill there was a tie between the generals to durrender or fight on he chose peace! D sn though hes tbe emporer its the generals and polititions that make nearly all decisions!
Yamashita was alright. There were many awful Japanese Generals but he was not one of them. Some did treat there own soldiers very harshly for looting and war crimes. They were very tough on their own soldiers. Those generals who acted reasonably and humanely were passed over and the arse kissers rose and flourished. Japan has never admitted its wrong doings but this man was treated incorrectley. But he knew why this happened and understood and didnt blame the Allies. This tells you something.

You all must be talking about George H Bush, not George W Bush. Both of these men were American presidents' father and son. George W. Bush was too young to have served in WW2. George H Bush the father and former president of the USA did serve in WW2 but that is a whole other story because George H Bush's billionaire father was doing business deals with Nazi Germany during WW2 while his son George H Bush was supposedly fighting against the Germans. Just search for "who is George H Bush's father," and you will know what I'm talking about. The bottom line is that neither former US presidents were ever in any real danger, the father nor the son. These super wealthy people create their own lying life stories.
What Japan did should not have been as cruel as it has ever been, but most Japanese children grew up being punched and kicked even when their parents taught them to do so. What older people say is absolutely true. Losing to other countries, including losing, was considered even more embarrassing.
The narrator's rhythmic commentary of the English language is extremely annoying. As a British citizen in my 72nd year I have never heard anyone speak in this manner. Such a pity because the content is good...the audible delivery piss poor.
Japanese empire armies and naval efforts practiced a high level of atrocities towards occupied civilians and captative enemy warriors. They followed the empirical orders .they bound their shoulders below Emperor feet. They did every cruelty for theirsEmperor glory and strength...while theirs Emperor easly frightened and surrounded to Americans...showed ultra cowards...he accepted all humiliating doing by Americans against Japanese citizens on theirs islands for remaining on his broken leg thrones in Tokyo

The Knights Of Bushido: The Japanese soldier lived by the strict warrior code of Bushido, the Samurai tenet, in which surrender was a dirty word.

It’s hard to understand why the Japanese military were so barbaric in Ww2 yet when you see Japanese military today they are like any other western military, Certainly capable of Barbaric acts but not on the personal level like back then.

I believe the sentence of death on Matsui was unjust. (I'm a white, unmarried, conservative, American man, retired in Montana) I believe the sentence is unjust because Matsui was taken out of retirement. He had already retired.
