The Japanese war atrocities were by far worse than the Germans, not saying the Germans didn't do horrible things, but the Japanese committed far worse. The Japanese experimented on live humans making them into war time experiments. The Japanese were breaking every part of the Geneva Convention just to try creating biological weapons. Dr.Shiro Ishii was an ungodly man who seemed to make a living doing unspeakable things to people. He lived a life that could almost be compared to a rock star and was given whatever he wanted by the Japanese government. He was given a massive facility, the facility housed Dr.Ishii's sick human Experiments. Another man that is no less guilty was "The Angel of Death" Dr. Josef Mengele. Mengele was a Nazi SS scientist. This man dismissed human life like he was brushing crumbs from a table top. He had people killed for no relative reason other than that they were Jewish and were being a nuisance. This man was the creator of the Nazi gas chambers and cremators. Not only did he invent new sick ways to kill hundreds of people at once he also had a sick obsession. Dr. Mengele was obsessed with twins . He relentlessly experimented on twins, no one was for sure what he was trying to find. Most of the twins he experimented on died, one pair were even sewn together in an attempt to create Siamese twins.
The Japanese Rape of Nanking is one of the worlds greatest atrocities. The Japanese soldiers started by killing all Chinese soldiers, even the ones that attempted to surrender. After the had control of the city of Nanking all hell broke loose. For six weeks the Japanese murdered, raped, and pillaged the town and it's people with no rhyme or reason. The Japanese had turned killing and raping the Chinese locals almost a sport. After the six week period the Japs settled in for the long haul of the war. They turned Nanking into a sick twisted death camp. They introduced heroin and opium to subdue the local population. During this occupation the Japanese used the locals for all their twisted desires. Any woman of any age was raped and often times forced to commit incest with another member of the family. The Japanese didn't just quickly kill people and dispose of them, they tried to find the most painful and excruciating ways to kill. The German's are by far not innocent with their mass extermination of the Jews. However the German's were more interested in killing as many as quickly as possible. They were trying for extermination, running their death camps like factories that had one product, dead Jews. The Japanese seemed to care less about ridding the earth of the Chinese and more about just being able to kill the Chinese for pleasure. There was no purpose to killing the Chinese except for simply that the Japanese felt like it.
Dr.Ishii and his scientists were allowed to go free after the war and live the rest of their lives in Japan. Nobody ever heard about Ishii's compound. The reason for this was that MacArthur had pardoned these war criminals as a trade for all of the biological weapon information the scientists had gathered. The German scientists like Mengele did not receive the same deal. This was probably because the entire world's attention was focused on Germany. If German scientists had been pardoned there would have been outcry. But since no one cared much about the Asian theatre nothing was done when the worst war criminals in history were allowed to simply retire to comfortable living.
