Of the Axis powers, which was more evil, the Nazis or the Imperial Japanese?
|
|
Neither one would win a Nobel Peace prize, thats for damn sure. I dont think one would be "worse" than another. Both did some absolutely atrocious, inhumane and monstrous shit during the war.
Lampshades made of human flesh? Spearing babies thrown into the air on bayonets? How the fuck do you compare that? |

Quoted: Japan all the way. View Quote I think I'm inclined to agree. The Nazis industrialized slaughter, and committed horrible crimes, to be sure. But the sadism of the Imperial Japanese is incomparable. Not to say that the Nazis weren't sadistic, but not to the level of the Imperial Japanese. |

The Japs killed 3-6 million civilians using just shovels and bayonets.

Nazi Germany committed evil acts.
Imperial Japan was at its heart, evil and sadistic. Germany = Monster Japan = Satan |

Quoted: Unit 731 View Quote Look into the Doctor Trials. The Nazis were every bit as monstrous as the Japanese. |

Pikers compared to the Soviets. The Germans kept better records and got bad press because they were not our allies. Meanwhile Soviets raped concentration camp victims, worked hand in hand with the SS to kill Poles, and starved an entire country to death.

The chicoms and soviets have them both beat, commies are worse. human organ harvest today |

The Nazis complained about Japanese human rights violations in Nanking.

Germans.
The Concentration Camps are the very avatar of mankinds capacity for Evil. That was evil without precedent before or sense. The Japs were a bloodthirsty bunch, but their massacres are well within the traditional bounds of the Mongols, Vikings, etc throughout human history - invade, put the men to the sword, rape the women, loot the place. Evil, but hardly unprecedented. |

Japan. Germans would let some prisoners live. They wanted laborers. Japanese not so.

My mother's father had a picture of him sitting in a chair in front of Hitler's summer home when the War ended. 2 of the 3 brothers were in the War and my dad's father was in the Pacific. Ol' Hombres for life; Victory on Land, Victory at Sea, Victory in the Air. Those commie fuckers jacking up the WW2 Memorial is going to stick with me. |

During the "rape of Nanking" the Nazis even came out to save the chinese from Japans atrocities.
|
|
The fact that Japan still hasn't apologized for their atrocities, or even acknowledged they happened to this day, seems to be an important thing.
|

"In Dachau, an SS doctor named Sigmund Rascher tested survival gear for the Luftwaffe by dressing inmates in pilot uniforms and dropping them in freezing water that simulated conditions in the North Sea. Subjects’ temperatures were taken rectally and the cooling rate was carefully charted. In hundreds of experiments, Rascher tried out various methods for reheating hypothermic prisoners and found that sexual intercourse worked better than warm colonic irrigation."
Hmmmm.... |

Which is worse, being stabbed to death 2,000 times or 2,002 times.
Once you reach a certain point of evil, it really doesn't matter. |
|
I think Japan. At least the Nazis were killing commies and their officers/enlisted believed in God.
|
|
As a POW, I'd choose Germany over Japan. I still might be dead, but not skinned alive dead.

Nazi Germany at least let the Red Cross in, and did not stave/march their prisoners to death. |

Let's be honest, this is a competition where the runner up prize is still quite an achievement.
But Russia needs to be in there as well, or do they not count because they committed all the atrocities on their own people? |

The eastern front was a fucking slaughterhouse! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_mistreatment_of_Soviet_prisoners_of_war |

Japan was the worst by far.
Beheading and cannibalism of US flyers on Chichi Jima. Had George Bush not been able to crash his plane in the ocean and get picked up by a US sub he may of had the same fate. |

I want to say the easy answer was the Nazis and I love me some weeboo shit, but the Rape of Nanjing and their treatment of POWs awards Japan just as many evil-fucking-asshole points.
"...Nanking should be remembered not only for the number of people slaughtered but for the cruel manner in which many met their deaths. Chinese men were used for bayonet practice and in decapitation contests. An estimated 20,000 – 80,000 Chinese women were raped. Many soldiers went beyond rape to disembowel women, slice off their breasts, and nail them alive to walls. Fathers were forced to rape their daughters, and sons their mothers, as other family members watched. Not only did live burials, castration, the carving of organs, and the roasting of people become routine, but more diabolical tortures were practiced, such as hanging people by their tongues on iron hooks or burying people to their waists and watching them get torn apart by German shepherds. So sickening was the spectacle that even Nazis in the city were horrified, one proclaiming the massacre to be the work of bestial machinery." |

The evil of Japan was more pervasive in their culture. The Germans war criminals mostly recognized that they would be considered as such if they lost. Many of the Japanese war criminals thought what they did was normal.

Quoted: The Nazis did many experiments which matched Japans in regards to inhumane treatment and monstrous actions. Dont think Germany didnt do every bit as bad of things as the Japanese. Look into the Doctor Trials. The Nazis were every bit as monstrous as the Japanese. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Unit 731 Look into the Doctor Trials.

It’s a matter of perspective.
For Downed Allied Airman? Japan was far more evil. Germany was chivalrous, ironically enough. For a European Jew? Germany was evil-er. |
