along the same line but in a different theater i saw a newsreel film on discovery ch.a few years back that showed british beufighters sinking a japanese transport loaded with soldiers.when the aircraft began straffing the helpless men in the water clinging to wreckage the announcer practically cheered saying'these soldiers of nippon won.t fight again'.then there was film of [i believe it was the uss tang] a submarine crew shooting the surviving soldiers who were aboard a transport they had just sank as they floated in the water.they were acting like it was target practice,shooting them with mg and rifle fire until they ran out of targets.i guess war is truelly hell indeed.
