Just a little side note about Japanese treatment of POWs and a little more.
57% of the POWs held by Japan died. A little less than 1% of the POWs held by Germany and the horrid Hitler died. The world pursued the German war criminals for 50+ years; the Japanese war criminals pretty much were ignored. No whining about the bombs is allowed in my area.
