I had never heard about Yamashita's gold, but that explains so much about the premise for Rook Island as the setting in Far Cry 3. "Why are there boxes of loot stashed in every random cave around this island?" Yamashita put them there. The skeletons and lost letters of WW2 soldiers always made sense to me, of course, but now knowing the full history with the stockpiled treasure, it really completes the picture.

Was then assigned to VC-1 a photographers and training unit. My XO and then later CO was Commander Gerald Coffee.........he retired as a Captain. He gave lectures to 'newbies' such as I about his experiences as a POW in the Hanoi Hilton for 7 plus years. He was one of the originators of the 'Tap Code' system. He was the ONLY Officer that I had any authentic respect for on the Naval Station and happily saluted him. All others were just obligations to superiors. LOVED him very much and was fortunate to have spoken with him for over an hour 4 months before he passed away at 88 years old.

In Jr. High a teacher of mine told us what her husband had endured as a POW in a Japanese Camp. What was horrifying was the prisoners weren't given food or at least rarely. Her husband and other POWs ate human waste to assuage the pain of hunger. As far as I'm concerned all sides did unnecessary and unspeakable things to enemy combatants whether they were being held in POW camps or not. Civilians who were loyal American Citizens were rounded up and held in (internment camps) but were in fact concentration camps by a nicer name on U.S. soil and not treated as if they were actually enemies without proof. Timely and appropriate medical was almost non existant. After the war many found the property they'd owned prior to the war had been confiscated and sold. I am not sure if any of them were compensated for the losses or if they just had to start from scratch. Like I stated all sides in all wars have done unspeakable things to those they called enemy. In fact the expansion of the original 13 colonies came at the expense of the lives of not just healthy young men who fought for their tribes but the elderly and young children and their mothers were attacked in villages and hiding places. For the longest time the U.S. Government framed the expansion as a great effort battling savages who fought to hold on to their territorial areas. The movie Avatar explains it simply. When someone has something you want. Just call them savages not worth caring about anything.

Dude, you heard of the nanking incident? Read up on Japanese atrocities please.

Thank you for touching base on Japanese War Crimes. Being Japanese myself I never believed any of the stories told by my non Japanese friends about Japanese war crimes in WW2 and dismissed it as propaganda. Our textbooks in Japan have no mention of it or completely embellish them. For example growing up we were taught that “comfort women” weren’t forced but volunteers who “handsomely” were paid by the Imperial Army. We were also taught that the Rape of Nanking, comfort women (women forced into sexual slavery by imperial japan), and other war crimes were embellishments created by the Chinese, Korean, and other former colonial governments out of jealousy for Japans economic growth following ww2. We often made obscene jokes about it during class and my fellow classmates would laugh along. It wasn’t until later in life that I decided to conduct a more objective investigation. Needless to say I’m greatly ashamed of my younger and immature self all those years ago. It worries me for future fellow Japanese generations as politicians are looking to erase such embellishments even further. Just recently in 2021 Japanese textbooks will no longer mention comfort women or the rape of Nanking as being associated with the Japanese military in WW2. History is riddled with embarrassment for every civilization that has ever existed. Erasing such memories only dooms humanity to repeat the same mistakes perpetually. It seems in the current global geopolitical climates the musings of war and paranoia are accelerating this trend.

I find myself rewatching this alot of times.

Great Uncle William Lee McMillan, Company M, 4th Marine Regiment, surrendered on Corregidor in 1942. He survived nearly three years as a POW of the Japanese. At least in body and just barely. Malaria paralyzed him from the waist down. Ulcers in his eyes rendered him virtually blind. He was rescued at Bilibid Prison, Manila in 1945 by the US Buckeye Infantry Division. Through intense physical therapy and surgery he was able to recover some of his sight and could shuffle walk by the time he was discharged. Needless to say, he was rated as permenantly disabled. His time home was not good. He couldn't hold a job. His physical and mental disabilities drove him to drink. He was married briefly, and had a son. Tragically the boy died less than a year later and the marriage ended in a divorce. Then to add to his woes, his nephew, my grandfather, came home with a Japanese bride! That split the family horribly. Many treated Grandma either coldly or with outright hostility. One relative called my father, an baby at the time, "That J@p boy." Strangely enough, Uncle Bill was another exception. According to Grandma, he never had anything mean to say to her. Never raised his voice or even blame her for what happened to him, but he wouldn't stay in the room with her for very long. Uncle Bill died in 1976, at the age of 64. The offical cause of death was heart failure, but we know it stemmed from his captivity. Part of him is still in the Philippines.

In northern Italy on 15 December 1944 after a clash in the town of Calbana in which the polish soldiers suffered significant losses against a platoon of Italians from the 8th Bersaglieri Regiment, the Poles surrounded the town and killed two wounded Italian soldiers (they were 15/16 years old) and put all the prisoners against the wall to be shot, the English officer arrived just in time and saved all the prisoners; unfortunately many events like these will remain known by few because they are countless all over the world

If I'm not correct about this in regards to the Bataan Death March, a US soldier by the name of Arthur Wermuth (idk if I spelled his last name right, correct me if I didn't) managed to avoid it because of one thing. His own determination saved his life, even though it got him badly injured as a result.

Never understood why some nations try to downplay or cover up their war crimes. As a Canadian I feel we need to be aware of the crime our troops committed the village that was torched in Germany was shameful I'm grateful they forced the town evacuated before burning it down but then their was the reason our airborne division was disbanded in the 90s

@@luigimrlgaming9484 You're looking at short term. I'm talking long term. War is NOT a sports game that lasts 2 minutes. This is about TRUST. If a leader can't be taken at their word then how can their word be trusted? If a leader deals with lies and secrets then where is their courage? Sun Tzu lets people assume. Yet he knows to know the enemy. There's a big difference between assumptions and telling your own men to obey an order then trying to avoid accountability. Would you trust that? Future wars happen. People look back on history. How can they trust their leaders when there's always some backstabber and turn coat betraying their own troops? Compare that to someone that hides nothing. Wanting their enmies to know they're coming. And knowing that nothing can be done to stop them. Provided that turns out to be true then that's a much better example to set. One of bravery and courage. Or if not that at least honesty and responsability. People will follow a weak leader if they are honest. People won't follow a strong leader if they are a lying two faced coward that doesn't even admit what they do. And secrets always get revealed in the end. It might not be soon, but in the end it WILL get found out. That's when the troops of today smell blood in the water. Leading to rebellions and fighting your own.

remember, most of the japanese troops brought to trial were found guilty only to be released almost immediately in order to improve relations with the now conquered japanese. A good amount of these Japanese troops went on with their lives and regularly stated that what they had done was fine and that they would given another chance do it all over again, look up the bird of pow camps on mainland japan, Zamperini recounted his atrocities he committed to the Allied POWs, and in my opinion the guy should have been shot upon capture. but he was released, went on to make millions and state that given the chance he would do it again only 100x worse this time around..
