History of wars is what the winners want you to know. WW11 was rather tame in the killings and torture that went on in previous wars but because it affected so many people it is looked on as the most terrible. I see today is the aniversary of the bombing of Dresden that killed 35000 civilians. Did they really need to die to prove a political point?
The modern Japanese probably want to forget all about the bad side and political correctness is the same in Japan as anywhere else. Who can blame them for wanting to erase the bad side of the war
History was taught in my school days from books that were printed prior to WW11. I would expect that most of them have been well and truly destroyed now as they presented views of the past that are not politically correct now. We were very nationalistic in those times.
