- Throughout the Second World War and in the conflicts before in Asia, there were many Japanese Generals who ordered soldiers to commit executions and horrific crimes against civilians and Prisoners of War. At the end of the war a number of these Generals and senior figures in the Japanese Army were brought to trial and were executed. These included the former wartime Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, General Yamashita and General Kimura amongst others. This is the story of 8 high ranking Generals and members of the military who were all executed for their crimes.

My grand father and his two sons were victims of Japanese atrocities during WW2 in the Philippines 🇵🇭
The combination of historical content with your voice, which is perfect for narration, makes me look forward to your posts.
Many thanks for all your hard work!
I know your name, Arya Stark! Now get back to school! 😄
@dscrappylocogolani9555 back to school?
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.
Yeah, Yamamoto messed up, just like Hitler did when he woke up the British Empire.
@@fastyaveit Never wake a drunken Churchill. :p
Yamamoto never said that. His papers and biography confirm that. It's nice to hear but show me a reference, don't say yes he did.
As poetic as that quote sounds, there is no proof he actually said that.
@@waveygravey9347 thank you
Tojo’s failed suicide attempts are indicative of an attention-seeking malingerer.
It's crazy their emperor was given a pass for fear of more fighting. He was just as guilty as Hitler.
And still they deny doing anything wrong.
Japan can thank IJN 731 for not prosecuted like the Germans.
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. So the surrender of the whole British garrison in the Philipines was an anathema to the Japanese, they thought the British were dishonourable subhumans and should be treated as such. This was the mentality.
Sickening atrocities by the Japanese
Talk to the people of Vietnam.
They will tell you of US war crimes.
Very few were convicted .
It was not just Japanese
I can definitely see why the first one is controversial. He has a point, though. The worst thing you can do in a war is lose. The winner of a war doesn't usually get prosecuted for war crimes.
Tell that to the captain of the USS INDIANAPOLIS
@@austism1exceptions do not define a rule.
He supposedly apologized for atrocious acts by his troops, so he did know about them. And as a commander, he's responsible for this command.
United States executed 102 of their own for rape and murder.
Most of the Manila crimes were committed by troops of the Special Naval Landing Force, who were under command of the Imperial palace, not Yamashita.
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
Remember, in those days the Japanese military were steeped in Bushido, which sees those who surrender as less than human. And these generals and admirals were the sons and grandsons of samurai.
dang, did they ever get any of the dudes from nanking massacre?
Yes, and quite a few of them. The Japanese officers and NCO's who were charged with war crimes in China (especially pre-Pearl Harbor) were for the most part tried by the Chinese military courts.
@@troybullard9631 For years, I've been trying to discover the name of the Japanese Commander who committed ritual suicide after reports of what his troops did (to the people) in the battle and later occupation of Nanjing.
I would recommend reading Knights of the Bushido by Lord Russell of Liverpool, the Emperor should have gone on trial for war crimes.
He was PROTECTED BY MacArthur
You are a great history teacher,I'm 60yrs old and learn so much. Thank you
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!
My uncle told about the war crimes by the Japanese. He told me, " We didn't take prisoners! "
Just like krauts after Malmedy.
👍👍👍
Why the honour shooting.
12:40 If you think it's shameful enough to share his story, then you should also share his name.
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.
It sounds like he’s one of the annoying youth of the Uk that now adds an American style inflection at the ends of each sentence! Poor and annoying use of the English language.
Gentleman Commandant,yamashita
I would have liked to watch this, but the narrator is too irritating.
Thinking all of the stories are going to be about the same....just swap out the country of events ..... Of course except china
he need to learn how to talk
Manila has NO "a" at the end
My God the narrator is annoying
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.
George W Bush (the former president) was never a POW ! He was rescued by a USN Submarine that was on Life guard duty . He was Lucky !
He could have become Jap sashimi with Fava beans at the officers mess.Reagan would have been better off and W would not have voted for Killary, the RINO he is.
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.

The narration is very difficult to listen to. Try close caption
Does the narrator have a speech impediment?He is difficult to listen to.
Annoying isn't it
7:44 Jangan lupakan sejarah 🙏🏽🚢
Crazy y’all still watch. Must not be that big of an issue
Appalling AI voice
you have not spoke with enough englishmen. it sounds real to me.
Agree, it's really hard to listen to the voice editing. I don't think it's AI. It's likely a software that adjust timing, but it's so hard to listen to.
外国が作った映画が使われている。
日本人兵隊の 刀の持ち方が 大陸刀の持ち方ですね💦 真横に立ってるのも日本の作法ではないですね❗ 大陸の軍の方では？
What is WAHAR exactly
O
Trust me. It was not just Japanese atrocities. I'm a combat medic veteran. This kind of behavior happens in EVERY CONFLICT. By EVERYONE
What a boring narrator. Every sentence ends like a question.
This is the most annoying voiceover I've heard in a long time.
No kidding
Mark Felton is awesome for a Brit!!!!!
why do you show the same every sences all the time
How come no British, American or allied generals have ever been charged for war crimes... Double standard
Must have happened but not on the level the Japs did.
Because they won.
Just came to say that anyone who's anyone knows that's an Australian pilot about the lose his head in your thumbnail. Dislike.
Let us never forget ! The Japanese showed us who they really are . They had better hope th Chinese never decide to invade them .
I believe the use of the Australian pilot in the thumbnail was used to express that act was in fact a war crime, for which Japanese Generals were rightfully executed. It's a terrible moment in time though, and I'm not saying your wrong for feeling the way you do.
@@jenjen.rutherford8559 The USA runs black site torture prisons TODAY...Maybe look past the first half of the last century and taske an interest in the world today.
Don't be a softcock. it's a histrical photo used in a history presentation. Harden up, drink some cement.
That photo is not a photo of an Australian pilot. Many people mistake this photo as of Flt Lt Bill Newton VC being executed.
It is in fact a photo of the execution of Sgt Len Siffleet on 24/10/43.
Sgt Siffleet was with Z Special Unit and was captured in an operation in 1943.
This is the only known photo of an Australian serviceman being executed. The photo was found on the body of a Japanese soldier in 1944.
