Currently reading a biography of Gen. Curtis Lemay. During WWII approximately 15 million Chinese, Koreans, and Filipinos were killed by the Japanese. Quite a few more than Jews killed by the Germans. Why no remembrance in the US? I’m pretty sure there are more Chinese in the US than Jews

Also American POWs were treated far better by the Germans. Book says 1% of POWs died in prison camps run by the Germans vs 36% in camps run by the Japs

Just wondering

Just an FYI that Japs had concentration camps that they called “lumber yards.”

Prisoners were called “lumber.”

To avoid punishment, Japan shared data they collected from their experiments with the US.

I can't imagine what they are using that info for. Can you point me in the right direction on finding more info on this? Who received this data?

Look up UNIT 731. It's well documented though rarely discussed. Even has its own wikipage.

Sorry, I read it from some book a long time ago and can’t remember the name. Here’s more info on those lumber mills, though.
