U.S. and Australian brutalisation of women on the Japanese mainland (Excerpt From Pages 66-69)

“There was a far darker side to the U.S. and allied occupation of Japan, one which is little mentioned in the vast majority of histories – American or otherwise. When Japan surrendered in August 1945, mass rapes by occupying forces were expected… [despite setting up of a comfort women which recruited or otherwise trafficked desperate women to brothels] such crimes were still common and several of them were extremely brutal and resulted in the deaths of the victims. Political science professor Eiji Takemae wrote regard- ing the conduct of American soldiers occupying Japan:
‘U.S. troops comported themselves like conquerors, especially in the early weeks and months of occupation. Misbehavior ranged from black-marketeering, petty theft, reckless driving and disorderly conduct to vandalism, assault, arson, murder and rape. Much of the violence was directed against women, the first attacks beginning within hours after the landing of advanced units. In Yokohama, China and elsewhere, soldiers and sailors broke the law with impunity, and incidents of robbery, rape and occasionally murder were widely reported in the press [which had not yet been censored by the U.S. military government]. When U.S. paratroopers landed in Sapporo an orgy of looting, sexual violence and drunken brawling ensued. Gang rapes and other sex atrocities were not infrequent […] Military courts arrested relatively few soldiers for their offences and convicted even fewer, and restitution for the victims was rare. Japanese attempts at self-defense were punished severely. In the sole instance of self-help that General Eichberger records in his memoirs, when local residents formed a vigilante group and retaliated against off-duty GIs, the Eighth Army ordered armored vehicles in battle array into the streets and arrested the ringleaders, who received lengthy prison terms.’
The U.S. and Australian militaries did not maintain rule of law when it came to violations of Japanese women by their own forces, neither were the Japanese population allowed to do so themselves. Occupation forces could loot and rape as they pleased and were effectively above the law.
An example of such an incident was in April 1946, when approximately U.S. personnel in three trucks attacked the Nakamura Hospital in Omori district. The soldiers raped over 40 patients and 37 female staff. One woman who had given birth just two days prior had her child thrown on the floor and killed, and she was then raped as well. Male patients trying to protect the women were also killed. The following week several dozen U.S. military personnel cut the phone lines to a housing block in Nagoya and raped all the women they could capture there – including girls as young as ten years old and women as old as fifty-five.
Such behavior was far from unique to American soldiers. Australian forces conducted themselves in much the same way during their own deployment in Japan. As one Japanese witness testified: ‘As soon as Australian troops arrived in Kure in early 1946, they ‘dragged young women into their jeeps, took them to the mountain, and then raped them. I heard them screaming for help nearly every night.’ Such behavior was commonplace, but news of criminal activity by Occupation forces was quickly suppressed.
Australian officer Allan Clifton recalled his own experience of the sexual violence committed in Japan:
‘I stood beside a bed in hospital. On it lay a girl, unconscious, her long, black hair in wild tumult on the pillow. A doctor and two nurses were working to revive her. An hour before she had been raped by twenty soldiers. We found her where they had left her, on a piece of waste land. The hospital was in Hiroshima. The girl was Japanese. The soldiers were Australians. The moaning and wailing had ceased and she was quiet now. The tortured tension on her face had slipped away, and the soft brown skin was smooth and unwrinkled, stained with tears like the face of a child that has cried herself to sleep.’
Australians committing such crimes in Japan were, when discovered, given very minor sentences. Even these were most often later mitigated or quashed by Australian courts. Clifton recounted one such event himself, when an Australian court quashed a sentence given by a military court martial citing ‘insufficient evidence,’ despite the incident having several witnesses. It was clear that courts overseeing Western occupation forces took measures to protect their own from crimes committed against the Japanese – crimes which were largely regarded as just access to ‘spoils of war’ at the time by the Western occupiers.
As had been the case during the war, underreporting of rapes in peace- time due to the associated shame in a traditional society and inaction on the part of authorities (rapes in both cases occurred when Western militaries were themselves in power) would lower the figures significantly. In order to prevent ill feeling towards their occupation from increasing, the United States military government implemented very strict censorship of the media. Mention of crimes committed by Western military personnel against Japanese civilians was strictly forbidden. The occupying forces ‘issued press and pre-censorship codes outlawing the publication of all reports and statistics “inimical to the objectives of the Occupation.”’ When a few weeks into the occupation Japanese press mentioned the rape and widespread looting by American soldiers, the occupying forces quickly responded by censoring all media and imposing a zero tolerance policy against the reporting of such crimes. It was not only the crimes committed by Western forces, but any criticism of the Western allied powers whatsoever which was strictly forbidden during the occupation period – for over six years. This left the U.S. military government, the supreme authority in the country, beyond accountability. Topics such as the establishment of comfort stations and encouragement of vulnerable women into the sex trade, critical analysis of the black market, the population’s starvation level calorie intakes and even references to the Great Depression’s impact on Western economies, anti-colonialism, pan-Asianism and emerging Cold War tensions were all off limits.
What was particularly notable about the censorship imposed under American occupation was that it was intended to conceal its own existence. This meant that not only were certain subjects strictly off limits, but the mention of censorship was also forbidden. As Columbia University Professor Donald Keene noted: ‘the Occupation censorship was even more exasperating than Japanese military censorship had been because it insisted that all traces of censorship be concealed. This meant that articles had to be rewritten in full, rather than merely submitting XXs for the offending phrases.’ For the U.S. military government it was essential not only to control information – but also to give the illusion of a free press when the press was in fact more restricted than it had been even in wartime under imperial rule.
By going one step further to censor even the mention of censorship itself, the United States could claim to stand for freedom of press and freedom of expression. By controlling the media the American military government could attempt to foster goodwill among the Japanese people while making crimes committed by their personnel and those of their allies appear as isolated incidents. While the brutality of American and Australian militaries against Japanese civilians was evident during the war and in its immediate aftermath, it did not end with occupation. The United States has maintained a significant military presence in Japan ever since and crimes including sexual violence and murder against Japanese civilians continue to occur.”

You people appear to be ill-informed. Russian soldiers were shot for that ! It was the Ancillary troops that did that in Germany. ( Uzbeks, Kazak’s, Turkmens, Ukrainians !” Hence the disappearance of all the Blondes from Germany. 1 Million German girls and women were raped in this manner. But wait. 10 Million German girls and women were raped by YANKS in Germany. All covered up by “Das juden” eisenhower ! He also had General Patton Murdered for going to reveal what the hell was going on. Now go and do your Homework !! Some advice, Beware Das juden !!
Just like with the blessing and protection of the U.S. government, the invading rape gangs of the occupation forces had their way with Japanese women in occupied Japan, under the cover of an occupation government-mandated media blackout of the crime wave, the rape gangs of the Asian (and not just Asian either) invasion and occupation of Europe are now having their way with local white European women and girls with the blessing and protection of the besieged host European governments and their media. Just goes to show how little regard any of these secret societies-controlled governments have for ordinary people of any stripe, race or religion, especially when there is an elite agenda in progress. Did the criminal U.S. and allied occupation forces of prostrate Japan ever imagine that when the tables were turned about 60 or 70 years later, that their governments were not going to treat them and their women any better then they treated the Japanese under occupation? That’s something Israelis who are now socking it to the Palestinians should remember when the worm finally turns and what goes around, comes around. “The way of Gaza and the West Bank and East Jerusalem will be the way of the world, if we don’t do anything to stop it now” — including Israel proper. “This insatiable eating machine won’t miss anyone.”
The jew close to eisenhower said Russian soldiers have a duty to gang rape every Germany women between the ages of 8 and 80 and leave them with slavic babies to make sure the purity of the German anglo saxon genetics tables are forever ruined.
The plan for the UK was softer and gentler, to fill our showres with black and coloureds from all over the world give them positive discrimination and great publicity, dumb down their women and let nature take its course.
Indidentally US serviceman begged for prostitutes to be sent out to iraq, the authorities said no its too dangerous, so the mass rape of iraqi women began and even american women stupid enough to join up were mass raped and many killed
The sports hero Pat tillman was about to whistleblow on serious US crimes when on orders from the top he was murdered by his own men
So much for the “greatest generation”. The “allies” fought for the wrong side and the West has been slaves to the international banking cartel and organized Jewry ever since.
Both my parents were born in rural Slovakia during WWII. They remember German soldiers as unfailingly polite, the Russians as boorish, thieving troublemakers.
In many communities, the worst atrocities were committed AFTER the war, by Ukrainian militias that were loyal to Stepan Bandera. Desperate to make their way out of USSR and into the West, they literally terrorized Slovak villagers in unspeakable ways; e.g. planting explosives that would, as a minimum, take little kids’ eyes out.
In truth, I have never understood many of my parents’ personality traits. But who can blame them; having gone through that kind of childhood.
This is nothing new, whatever army wins a war gets to bang the conquered females. Even the Germans were boning Russian/Ukrainian women when they occupied the USSR. The only problem with this principle, is that its usually an aggregation of scum (Communists, Jews, Mongols, Apes, Christians) that win these wars, so the superior racial stock becomes debased.
The hearts of all men are deceitful and desperately wicked. That is why we all need a Savior. Satan has power over all mankind unless they truly know and obey the only true God, so of course, they murder and rape. Those few men and women who know the real God, the only God, and have Him in their heart and follow Him daily, will not rape nor murder, but they will keep God’s commandments.
If you think it is bad today, and that it was bad in the past, just wait until you experience what is soon to come upon this earth. Men will seek death, and it will flee from them. We have a choice, and unfortunately for most, they will choose to not obey God to their own destruction.

You forgot to mention that Slovakia was a semi-independent country allied with 3Reich. Slovakia was the enemy of Soviet Union and the Red Army. This fact may explain the soldiers’ behavior. Now everybody demonizes Red Army, this is CIA/MoSSad sponsored op.
Incidents happen everywhere during a war. I’ve heard that Red Army was very polite in Belarus, Czechia or Poland.
This is about Japan.
Few people know that „Korean War” (Judeoanglosaxon war on Korea) was extremely cruel. 15m victims. 15m including 1,5m Chinese soldiers.
Now Chinese people are brainlessly fascinated with Judeoanglosaxon culture. I’ve heard of relatively new Chinese movie about the Judeoanglosaxon war on Korea, American barbarity and Chinese victims. Chinese people are conformists and may start hating US at the Communist Party request.
US Army has no chance in a fight with moderm properly equipped army. US Army is specialized in massacres of civilians or soldiers with sticks.
Russian professor Andrei Fursov said that in in coming decades Americans will pay for crimes their ancestors committed in the 20th century.
Ditto what Ann Blue said. Jesus teaches us to treat others as we want to be treated, love, honesty, friendliness, what is good and right, not murder, rape, and evil. By definition, people who rob, rape, murder, etc, are the opposite of Christian.
Ironic that this elite hidden hand that has instigated these war crimes against innocent non combatant women and girls is also behind criminalising as sexual harassment and stalking (usually on the male side) normal courting rituals between males and females. No shortage of Feminists speaking out in support of the latter but none to be found speaking out against the former. But we all know who and what these agenda-driven change agents shills serve. And it sure ain’t social justice, fairness, liberty and equality.
And the barbarity of these crimes committed in the name of the aristocracy-owned and operated state by formally ordinary, law-abiding civilians rivals those of many of society’s worst criminal psychopaths sitting in our prisons. It just goes to show you, put on a police or military uniform of the state, and you can commit the the worst atrocities imaginable and you’ll get metals, ticker tape parades and big pensions for it when done in the bankers’ wars or for their vested interests, but put an unauthorised foot wrong out of uniform on the city streets, and you’ll be tossed in the slammer, or worse.
Shows what cruel war can turn young men into.
Now I am 62 and realize that bad behavior was rampant amongst victorious soldiers from all sides including my own nationality.
What would I have been like as a young soldier who just conquered the enemy?
I don’t know. It’s scary to think about.
Stalin was such a monster that the Russian people welcomed the Germans and saw them as liberators, my grandfather said the germans were well behaved, but Stalins troops moved all the people away in front of the german forces they poisoned well like the jews do in palestine, killed all the animals left booby trap bombs etc
My Grandfather said people wanted the Germans to win nd t Stalingrad
the old and the young were killed so there would be more food for the fighters to resist German forces whose supply lines were so stretched it was easy to cut the and stop fuel and food getttig through, this all had nothing to do with Britain but the jews got everone involved and madea ral packet from it
Stalin was a real blessing for the Soviet Union.
He was hated by people for the land reform. In Great Russia minimal area for a family to survive was 4 hectares. Yet modern technology makes it possible to manage 20 or 40 hectares by a family (rough estimation). And the country needed workforce for the new industry.
In 1927 Bolsheviks started land nationalization. They forced farmers to enter large farms and created millions of workers for new industries. During 1930ies Soviet Union was transformed into industrial power, second larges after the US. Bolsheviks needed millions of workers for such transformation. These workers in the 1920ies were living on farms.
Stalin knew that land reform and land nationalization was necessary for the nation to survive the coming war and knew that Bolsheviks would be hated for this reform. They had no choice.
In answer to Mark Markowitz’s comments about the “criminal justice system” criminalising the male-female power dynamics of normal courting rituals/dating, it amazes me how many women there are out there who love nothing more than to be pursued, even by sub-standard males, even to the extent of full-blown rape, so long as the alpha male has the power it accomplish it in the face of lesser rival males and get away with it with impunity to strike again. That’s the terrible arithmetic of a universe structured along the lines of jungle law. It’s a case of the all-powerful state (the ultimate alpha male) punishing men, in the course of exercising their protection racket, for what women demand of them in proving their metal to father their children.
As for post war Japan and Germany, I don’t know which did more harm to those defeated nations after the fix was in: the bankers’ demolition job or the bankers’ reconstruction job? The same question could be asked in our current cycle of crash and burn and reset in this plandemic; the the order-out-of-chaos crash and burn of the phoenix and its resurrection out of its own ashes?
