Japan did a really good job when it comes to covering up their war crimes and general atrocities. Their PR team is top notch.
*fascist flag.
Pretty much on par. The war crimes that Japan committed easily put them on the same tier.
Japan was more then a fascist state. They embodied Nazism to an exact T.
Japan was far worse than Germany
I am still low-key traumatized after what I read about unit 731
Don’t look into Mengle and other Nazi experiments. It’s deranged. A lot of it is similar to 731 and it’s revolting.

That is a common lie that the Nazis used to justify their experiments after the war and it is 100% A LIE.
Their experiments yielded little to no valuable information, and we’re done out of sheer cruelty and heinousness.
Like what do you expect when you replace the blood of a person with antifreeze? Or cut them open to see how long it takes for them to bleed out? Or how about torturing twins to see if the other reacts psychically?
Do not believe their lies, this is a common post war myth.
I’ll investigate further. Thanks for correcting.
Though, I’ll say that they are definitely enough results from many of them that made it into medical knowledge, like the Club Cell, for example, with numerous evident that these “doctors” word directly with the Nazi and collect their data from involuntary subjects. Numerous sources wrote about how several of them still have their name recognized with honor for their work, such as this, this, or this, etc.
In case it isn’t clear, I am in no way justifying these crime against humanity. But this is part of medical history, a very shameful part along slide the like of Tuskegee experiment and many others, that numerous “doctors” jump at the opportunity to exploit on the fascist’s racial policy to make a name for themselves. Worse, I’ve seen too many people in the field try to pretend it never happened. I’m probably too exaggerated when I said that majority of them have real medical purpose, and I stand corrected on that, but I’ll argue against the idea that the experiments were done purely out of sheer cruelty, as you’ve said.
For real, and that’s certainly a high bar to surpass.
They were on par. There is no war crimes Olympics. They committed horrific crimes against humanity with untold suffering.
i honestly wonder why japanese pop-culture still includes germanic things in them 🤔
WW2 didn’t help, but the influence is older. In the Meiji period government send diplomatic missions to observe various countries in the world and they usually were coming back in awe with the Germany, and since then there is a crapton of german influences in culture and law, which got hidden under the heap of american popshit after WW2 but they are still there and surface every now and then.
There’s also artifacts of this in the language such as the word for a part-time job (arubaito)
