Check out the links at the bottom of the post too for several other collections of outstanding photos from the late 19th century to post Korean War
Warning: One of the links is to an astonishing collection of very graphic images of purported Japanese atrocities perpetrated during the colonial period, including beheadings, mutilations, etc. I say “purported” only because I have not had an opportunity to carefully examine the photos to determine whether and where the events pictured occurred.
Here’s the link for the nasty stuff for inquiring minds that want to know and the squeamish to avoid.
Whoops:

Humane…to be human…it is not a positive adjective !
They know, the Asians do, how much they need America to keep its soldiers here. They hate each other, the Asians do, more deeply than we can understand. It’s still so close to the surface, right where they want it to be.
Defensive Japanese comment starting in 3…2…1…
Amen to Linkd’s comment #6. The photos are clearly PLA propaganda stuff, though nonetheless fascinating.
Anyway, for what little it may be worth, my personal web site at http://www.tomcoyner.com is in fact up, but I’m glad that the Marmot linked folks over to my professional web site in this posting.

Some of the photos may be authentic. But some of them have been proven by Japanese scholars and historians to be be falsified. Unlike recent KJI’s composit photos, some of them are amateurish sham. You can find some of the same photos here. http://photo.jijisama.org/slaughter.html
The helmet, uniform, shoes are not those of the Japanese soldiers but Chinese ones.
Hey Nat-To (smart),
Not even the most creative “falsified” photos could even begin to capture the true horror of those murderous Jap bastards. Not even the Nazis could hold a candle to them.
It’s in the past, that is true but don’t try to
“Hello-Kittyize” it.
I dig going to Japan and shaggin’ Jap chicks etc. but seeing these photos brings it out of me.
And every August while so many of you Hiroshima hand wringers go on a guilt trip, this American says to himself….
“Damn,….too bad we didn’t have more than two of them !”
The Japs should kiss American ass for 10,000 years simply for keeping the Chinese from getting their pound of flesh after the war.
While we’re on the subject of photos, why does it always seem to take two Jap guys to fuck one Jap girl?
Really on a roll, aren’t you, anunsaram.
what is the music on that page link of spewer #4?

Whether the photos are genuine or not, the little folks of the islands are capable of committing such acts. They are the Taliban of East Asia. I wouldn’t have much faith in the island historians.
