But great work digging this up, just added a whole new side to the Pacific.

Before you judge remember that these people believed that we'd literally eat their babies. With your own death imminent could you surrender your own child to that fate?

Greta photo's. I have many time life books and the photography in them is always of such a high standard.

I understand and respect their need for honour and all that stuff, but I doubt many things they did were honourable

It is war on the front lines, honour does not really come into play there, it's pure survival.

Ugh, I thought these were actually going to be photos from the Great War, but there's not a single one of those. Bloody confusing...

Ah, well, pretty good regardless.

This is a good example of just how powerful the Japanese governments propaganda machine worked....especially on the lower classes within their system.
