As a Dutch descendant, this was hard for me to watch. My grandparents and great grandparents were in occupied Netherlands, so had to deal with the Germans, which given this seems like a blessing in comparison. In NZ we had a old Dutch lady as a customer at the workshop, She never drove a Japanese car (very common vehicles here), and refused to even touch the loan car as it was a Mazda. I never really understood why, but her son told me after she passed that she had been in the Dutch East Indies during the war. I'm guessing this is why she had such a deep seated hatred for anything Japanese.

The Japanese were paid back in kind when Allied forces landed in Japan after the A bombs ended the war. I knew a WW2 vet who was one. He suffered tremendous PTSD from his time in the war, his whole life. He had fought all through the Pacific war and was among the first troops to occupy Japan. The day his ship was about to disembark on the island, at an assembly of all the men on deck, the ships Chaplin said the following 'Men, the average Japanese mans penis is as big and long as our middle fingers. Their women are built accordingly, so BE GENTLE WITH THEM'. What followed was a long period when Allied soldiers could enter any Japanese home and rape the women and girls. The vet told me he and his fellow soldiers could go to any Japanese woman and using hand gestures of a finger of one hand, poking a circle created with their other hand and the women would either nod or if they spoke any English would say 'ok Joe, ok' and they would do the deed. Sometimes they would break into Japanese homes and demand, Saki! Saki! Saki! then take the females of the home into the bedrooms to do the deed with. Ugly times. The only defense I can offer on their behavior would be to watch the HBO series, 'The Pacific' to see what those soldiers went through and how angry they were with the Japanese by the time they reached their lands.

One of my patients, Mr. K, was a POW and was in the Bataan Death March. I made the awful mistake of asking about his service the first day of work after seeing his medals in a case on the wall. Mr. K immediately burst into tears and started bawling, and that is probably one of the top 3 times in my adult life that I've felt like a horrible person. His sitter apologized for not telling me not to bring up his service, and during a smoke break, she filled me in on what Mr. K went through. I think I hugged him for twenty minutes while he was crying while I kept apologizing; I felt like such a piece of shit for making a man in his 80s cry like a terrified little kid. That was the only lesson I ever needed about mentioning someone's service, especially a patient -- I don't bring it up unless they do first.

Thank you for this video. I am well informed about the Japanese brutality from the Chinese perspective, but I did not know that Dutch civilians were also subject to such horrifying crimes. My heart aches to hear that the Dutch were also victims of such vicious, unforgivable acts of horror. The Japanese government thinks that staying silent on this topic will somehow make it disappear from everybody's mind, but they are absolutely wrong. My maternal grandfather refuses to eat Japanese cuisine. Any discussion about the Japanese gets him fired up. By contrast, he absolutely loves Thai cuisine, especially green curry. The Thai people helped him hide from the Japanese as a youngster fleeing Henan province, and grandfather never forgot their kindness, their hospitality.

Agreed. Dr. Felton is unequalled in his knowledge of every aspect of WWII and presentation thereof. Hopefully he is not going to be accused of “victor’s history” or worse, racism, for presenting these facts. After publishing his historical novel “Shokuzai” (Atonement), William Myers received suggestions by readers that he had strayed into bigotry in his narrative, which was in fact based upon actual historical occurrences. Although Myers, who lived in Japan for two decades had attempted to state his actual perspective in a lengthy afterword, woke westerners and Japanese historical revisionists were not interested in facts.

The brutality of many Japanese NCOs and some officers towards their own men has been well documented. I believe it was endemic in their rigid class society during this time period. Within the military the ancient honor code of Bushido had been corrupted into blind obedience, which served the government's goal of regional domination. In this sense they had much in common with the German, Soviet, and Italian militaries. One partial explanation for how the Japanese soldiers were conditioned to behave so badly toward others was related to me by a late friend of mine. His grandfather had been inducted into the Japanese Army in the 1930s. He said the brutality of the Army began in basic training where beatings and insults were standard operating procedure. NCOs treated the recruits like scum. It didn't get any better after completing basic training. He hated it with a passion and, unlike most Japanese, he had an independent rebellious streak which landed him in plenty of hot water. After he completed his term of service he immigrated to the USA and never looked back. Following Pearl Harbor he wound up in a detention center, but it was a cakewalk when compared to his military service in Japan. I believe he represented the exception, rather than the rule.

The Soviet Union's soldiers raped more than 200,000 Japanese women too, but the worst cases were by Korean men in the northern part of the Korean peninsula being supported by the Communist Soviet Union.

In my observation the "japan just pretends this didn't happen" claim is a myth, or at least an exaggeration. The Japanese view - as I've observed it anyway - of the Kempetai for instance, is of a brutal organization, hated as much by Japanese civilians and servicemen as by the non-Japanese the Kempetai capriciously lorded over. Also should go without saying that most school textbooks the world over don't give a comprehensive and balanced account of historical events; let alone one where there's vast disparity in statistics claimed by each side, and politically motivated narratives of all shades. (thus hardly a yardstick to hold Japan to, nor other countries, without delving into hypocrisy)

After the Marines saw what the Japanese did to captured Marines, torture, mutilations and such one Marine said they stopped taking Japanese prisoners. Well since no prisoners U.S intelligence had no Japanese to interrogate so they said any Marine who brought in a live Japanese gets 2 weeks leave. So Japanese prisoners start to dribble in. Soon as the 2 week leave program ended the Marine said they stopped accepting Japanese surrenders and just shot them as they already knew their false surrender tricks. As a veteran I understand why the Marines did it as the Japanese brought it upon themselves.

The saddest part and great injustice was that many of these perpetrators were never brought to justice beginning with the leaders.

Specialy the Japanese Geishas

The large number of these unfortunate, brutalized women and the sadistic behavior visited upon them by their Japanese captors is truly shocking. And it’s incredibly sad that even today Japan has not fully acknowledged this aspect of their supposed culture nor have they offered fair restitution. Unfortunately the same is true for the British and their behavior in India and elsewhere. Mark, you have guts, thank you.

Being Dutch myself, I can assure you that some of our colonial forebears from the past have been indistinguishable from the other/Japanese imperialists. It's terrible for those women (I'm old enough to have heard their stories first hand), but why be there (not as an individual woman, but as a people) in the first place?

A Dutch woman I knew in 1960 was a prisoner of the Japanese during the war. She and her husband would not let ANY Japanese stay at their hotel.

My grandparents, my mother and uncle were on Ambon in early 1942. My grandfather, a captain in the Dutch colonial army at the time, managed to get my grandmother, mother and uncle on.a ship bound for Australia. Had he not done that, it's unlikely you would be reading this, because, as this video shows, it's unlikely my mother, 4 at the time, would have survived that. That was possibly the most crucial event in my family's history, my grandma and her children catching that boat.

The more I learn of my Father's years from 1939-1945 the more I am proud of him and his mates who stood up to fight this evil. Every generation must stand or be slaves.

Shocking level of human suffering. Thanks for sharing Mark, clearly required a very great deal of detailed research.

Great episode on historical truth. Thank you!

Dang right. Drop it every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

My father was in the RAF Regiment during the war, serving in Sumatra/India/Burma and seeing action against the Japanese It was a long, hard campaign and it took years before the tide turned in our favour and we began winning. There was universal horror & disgust when our troops discovered how the retreating Japanese army had treated the natives. They probably heard about prisoner of war camps too. Consequently, with the tables turned, presented with Japanese troops trying to surrender they took no prisoners…

Mark Felton is the go to guy for War Stories.

don't now if there is an english version. De hel van Tjideng is a good book relatated to this. mr Felton keep up the good work.

I don't think I have ever heard a more horrific story in my life. Although it made me feel ill and tears to my eyes I felt I owed it to those poor women and girls listen to the whole of their story. How any of them were able to resume any sort of normal life after the war shows that the term weaker sex is pretty hollow. A horrible story but one that had to be told. I hope there are Japanese subscribers to your channel who are sharing the link to this story with their friends. Thank you Doctor Felton.

To LIL POLD do not forget all those HOLLYWOOD FILM where the JAPANESE by 1955 were in a GOOD SPOTLIGHT while barely a movie about GERMANY in a KIND SPOTLIGHT*an example was THE BIG LIFT with PAUL DOUGLAS/MONTGOMERY CLIFT as CLIFT falls in love with a german lady and then the german lady only used CLIFT to get into the U S A to link up with her german lover! All those TV SHOWS: WILD WILD WEST/MAN FROM U N C L E/STACATTO/and countless others portray the JAPANESE in a heartfelt way while the GERMANS are always the villians or the usual WHITE CAUCASIAN GUY is the villian and leader of the JAPANESE gang! Even RUSSIANS on all those MID 1960S TV SERIES were all made out to be KILLERS/HEARTLESS even after WE BOTH fought together 20 years earlier in WORLD WAR 2!!! It allways depends on the POINT OF VIEW who is considered good or bad here in HOLLYWOOD/REAL ESTATE BUSINESS/U S A of just who it is thats BUYING UP PROPERTY/BRINGING IN $$$$$$BUSINESS/MAUFACTURING all of OUR:CELL PHONES/COMPUTERS/AUTOMOBILES/TECHNOLOGY as of 2022 PHONES/COMPUTERS/as almost everything now comes from those FORMER 77 YEARS AGO BAD GUYS*Just commenting from what is put into a lot of comments and no use in being bitter forever!

Hearing how horrificly depraved and inhuman those japanese soldiers were, I was genualy surprised a few camp commandants opposed the military police when they came to take female prisonners

The rape of German woman by Soviet soldiers. Do you have a program on this? The situation of East German woman in 1945 was that they were raped several times a day - every day - for months. Not only women, but girls and boys. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn came across a scene in eastern Germany where a 5 year old girl had been raped to death by at least 300 Russian soldiers. Yet history has totally forgotten the plight of millions of these East German woman? Why? Because it brings great shame to the Soviet Union?

@@Rommyaly Wrong. Churchill knew that the Soviets were responsible for the Katyn Forest Massacre but helped to cover it up and pretend the "Nazis" had done it in the world's media.

My best friend's dad, a farmer from Salinas, was a marine sniper during the island hopping campaign. He was wounded four times and would typically leave the hospital before he was fully healed so he could go "hunting". I never fully understood his rage toward the Japanese, but the rape and murder of women was one thing he mentioned during the few times he talked about the war. As far as his shooting skills, I saw him drop several bucks at dead run at more than 300 yds, during our California deer hunts. I could only imagine that any Japanese unfortunate enough to fall in his cross hairs absolutely stood no chance.

@@poek1e No comparison with a human life. Filing that, the state of California, a very liberal state, issues deer tags annually based on sound biological counts. The state has determined that tags must be issued because it is legal, moral, and required for the survival of the species. These deer feed my family, and many go to feed the homeless in my state. If you are a vegetarian, that is fine, but even vegetarians have to kill carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. to live. That and the millions of acres required for agriculture has caused the extinction of many wild species due to habitat destruction. There is always a cost no matter what side of the line you fall on.

As being Dutch I thank you for this item . As bot my wife and my family were active in Dutch resistance I always follow your channel .

I'm no longer shocked by the atrocities perpetrated during war. Power, greed, subjugation, brutality. RIP and fly free beautiful ladies. 😢💔🕊️

Thanks for the upload. I was taught this part of history in HS. But it was so deplorable, that i couldn't get through it. So we all appreciate you going through this material to help us understand what happened there .

Thank you for telling this history. Years ago, I had a Filipina girlfriend, who had been raised by her grandmother. She told me that when she was a teenager, she would go out, as normal for a teenage girl. One day as she put her face on in the bathroom, her grandmother said, "When I was your age, I avoided going out unless I absolutely had to, and then I made sure to look like an ugly ragamuffin" - and left it at that.

Some years ago, I was a registered nurse working the night shift in a private for profit psychiatric health facility. There were 4 units, mine being one of the adult units and an older female RN working the adolescent unit; we shared the nursing station between the 2 units. As I got to know her, she eventually began to tell me of her childhood. She was Dutch and her accent was still quite prominant, at the time somewhere in the area of this video with her mother. She was quite a nervous, anxious person and, eventually, she explained a small part of this. She and her mother were imprisoned by Japanese forces; the closest she shared was that on most nights, the guards came for her mother. One can only imagine what occurred. She did not speak of anything related to herself, just the quiet tears of her mother when she was returned to her. To this day, I expect that child was submitted to horrors she would not speak of.

Everytime i read or watch something about this topic it always make me sick to my stomach. Just to even imagine the pain those women and young girls experienced day to day doesn’t sit well. Wouldn’t this be considered a war crime? I’m just in shock on how there’s no heavy punishment for this.

Many years ago met a Dutch lady who was a teenager when she was forced to become a 'comfort woman'. Very sad. She held a deep hatred of the Japanese people.
