That's what the propaganda films told us anyways right?![]()
No, that's what mass suicides by civilians upon orders from the Emperor along with endless waves of Japanese soldiers charging interlocking machine gun fire in suicidal fervor during the island hopping days told us. Also captured civilians told U.S. soldiers they were told that Americans would rape them, kill their babies for entertainment, and all sorts of other lies.
When offered food and water U.S. soldiers would have to eat and drink first they were so convinced it was poisoned, another lie they were told. On the mainland they were told to fight to the death with hand tools for the emperor, all lending credence to the estimated 2+ million deaths a land invasion would have caused.
