We can make a whole other thread on US WW2 Comics and cartoons.

We were just as bad as Goebbells, just more subtle.

The crap that Superman did to Nazis....

I get the point, and added to it.

Oh we where just as bad when it came to "kill the enemy propaganda" as anyone else.At least since Roman times and most likely long before that the powers that be have made the enemy appear to be as subhuman as possible. We thought that the Japanese where apes interestingly enough Japanese where told the same thing about whites.

On a serious note, however, most of this propaganda was appalling by modern standards, mostly relying on Racist stereotypes. Still, it's job was to get people to enlist and fight hard, and it sure did that.

But when you compare that propaganda poster to pictures from the Rape of Nanking it's not that far of a stretch.

I'm not saying that one side was more wrong than the other.Of course many governments where aware of what occurred in Nanking but did nothing.So it is not that far of a
stretch of course if the victim is Chinese well oh well.

The Japanese also performed biological weapons experiments on living humans they dropped bombs filled with plague carrying fleas on China this is heard of very little mainly because the US government was very interested in the data the Japanese had collected.

section 7.2 should be of particular interest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731
