What Happened to Japanese Soldiers After WW2?
During World War II, it has been estimated that between 19,500 and 50,000 members of the Imperial Japanese military surrendered to Western Allied combatants prior to the end of the Pacific War in August 1945.Also, Soviet troops seized and imprisoned more than half a million Japanese troops and civilians in China and other places.

The number of Japanese soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen who surrendered was limited by the Japanese military indoctrinating its personnel to fight to the death, Allied combat personnel often being unwilling to take prisoners,and many Japanese soldiers believing that those who surrendered would be killed by their captors.

Some soldiers we're actually stuck in China until the 50s or executed (you guessed it, by the communists) and some refused to surrender but some we're also executed by the government of Japan.
What if they actually were the victims and we are all taught propaganda? That would be crazy but hey that’s just a theory
I couldn’t give a flying f**k…they were all f**king animals…my grandfathers best friend was captured at Malaya, and when he came back to Great Britain, he was a broken man, he had stomach issues till he died because of the starvation diet they put them on, he was on the Burma railroad, when he got back to Scotland he was often heard to say “two bombs were not enough for those bastards” So , no I really don’t care what happened to them? Hirohito should have gone on trial.
Wow so much information 🤯
We know what about Japan . America apply his own law in Japan . Therefore more then 60% woman rapped under America Brittan allies .
Japan tries to act like the atrocities never happened, trying to wipe a slate clean that’s so dirty it can’t be done.
An unspeakably cruel culture, viciously cruel people
What's next?? Loads of poor old ss lost there way did they booo fecking hoo😠
An appeal to Americans, stop killing people around the world, like you did in Japan, Iraq,Syria, afganistan, Bin Laden was raised by you people only like the always be the founder of terrorism
A Japanese officer was ordered to kill my grandfather's family including my mother. I wouldn't exist if he carried out his orders.
Never mind the senseless babaric slaughter of innocent lives by these japanese soldiers, we need to zone in on how these same japanese soldiers were mistreated after they were disbanded………..muppet
I heard ptsd veterans roamed fields creating chaos to put it nicely.
They got a free ride.
Why is a WW1 image in this video?
As someone whose father would have been part of the naval force to invade Japan had the Americans not
" convinced" them to surrender as my father said "why stop at two" !
Who cares what happened to Japanese soldiers after the war?
After what they did to my Uncle Vincent i really don't give a shit? 🇺🇲
Some of them ate our serviceman. Read the story of President Bush when he was shot down. Cannot give,nor will I give, one fiddling care what happened to them for the cowardly surprise attack at Pearl Harbor and atrocities committed during scenes like like Batan death March.
don't really care.
Japan takes no accountability for what they did in many of the worst attrocities
Some Troops were re-armed for Police duty in French IndoChina after WW2.
Few Japanese Soldiers were executed by Allied Courts for the atrocities they commited in WW2. It was a differnt story in China where many Japanese soldiers were subjected to harsh treatment by the victorious Soviet Empire whch siezed 594,000 Japanese POWs' 60,000 which died in oSoviet Siberian POW Camps.
Surprisingly the Chinese were relatively lenient with the Japanese Army Soldiers, because the Chinese Nationalists & Communists wanted the japanese weapons to fight each other. Significant numbers of Japanes soldiers sjoin both sides of the Chinese civil War 1945-49.
FRANKLY MY DEAR, I DONT GIVE A DAMM
Most Japanese solders were old men and young boys at the end of the war. Their population took a decade to recover. Because of the lack of breeding age males.
Well, after watching this I really still have no idea of what happened to them……
Modern day Japan has little resemblance to Imperial Japan, which was ruled by their Emperor and a samurai like culture. Japanese army committed u speakable atrocities. My grandmother who passed away decades ago, survived it as a young girl. I hated who the Japanese were but not now.
Japanese soldiers who deserted in Vietnam helped Ho Chi Minh train his Vietminh army in jungle warfare, and they fought side by side against the French and then the Americans.
*In the 1980's you could still see fully dressed WW2 veterans standing on street corners in Tokyo begging for alms. They would hold a single gloved hand at waist level and stare, unmoving at the middle distance. As tourists we were told NEVER to engage them in any way, or take their picture as the embarrassment would be too much for them, and might cause an incident.
If you gave them some Yen, they would tuck the offering into a pocket or in their belt, and make a small bow. Some had a bowl or cup at their feet. Their threadbare uniforms were immaculate, their posture completely rigid, and they didn't even seem to blink.
The Japanese government did NOT acknowledge them.
One of the consequences of the Bushido code is that you are treated like an animal by your own people when you come home after surrendering. Karma can be a real bi+€#.
Try affixing photos from the correct armies and wars to the time line.
No sympathy
Bataan march. MF's
Whatever happened to them happened too late to save the unfortunates from conquered countries and PoWs whom they systematically abused and murdered using the most horrific and inhumane methods their tortured, sadistic minds could dream up.
Sick Mothers…..
Not entirely true. My wife's dad was stationed in Japan during the Korean war. He was a trainer for the Japanese air Force.
The war had only ended 5 years and they had no ill feeling towards the US for the atomic bomb. Unless you were alive or was there you are only speculating
After 1942 the German and Japanese soldiers turned into animals. None of them should have been allowed to walk away. They just went to far.
And after watching the video, I still don’t know what happened to them.
Who cares
An arrogant race…..they treated prisoners like less than dirt.
Couldn’t care less!
I lived off base in Yokosuka Japan. Next door was a former Japanese soldier. He hated my self and my family while the rest of the neighborhood were welcoming.
I’d like to look further into post war Japan, but some aspects are hard to find stories on. Plenty of stories about McArthur, food shortages, unwanted pregnancies and widespread STD’s, but not how the former soldiers adapted to returning home to a destroyed country. Some hadn’t been back in 6-7 years.
Even their Allie’s hated the Japanese. The millions of innocent people that died brutally in the hands of these butchers.
The Japanese still fly the same flag as the country that committed all those atrocities. Compare that to the Germans.
I don't care what happened to them. They acted like vicious animals during the war. To this day they don't think they did anything wrong.
After the Naging massacre I don't really care what happened to these soldiers the atrocities that they carried out in China and our allied soldiers they were worse than animals the atrocities they are to evil to even repeat so I don't care what happen to these evil men
I don't know maybe they ate some of American prisoners livers with fava beens.
彼らは日本が戦後アジアを成長させるためにどれだけ支援して来たのかを知らない😅彼らは第二次世界大戦の後のアジアや日本のことを知らたいくせに自分の勝手な解釈でコメントしている。それはあまりに無知な行為だ😂
I'm not even interested in the barbaric swines…they were not soldiers.
They murdered and raped wherever they went in Asia. They treated POWs with extreme cruelty. Only a few were punished. For some reason, they were not prosecuted. That is a crime in itself!
If your talking about any rules of war that the United States broke against the Japan. Japan never followed any of them. Neither did their soldiers by doctrine.
