1945: WWII: THE END IS NEAR
NO, THIS ISN'T A TORN PAGE, IT IS A COMPUTER CREATED TORN PAGE. THE ORIGINAL PAGE IS ALIVE AND WELL IN MY WWII COLLECTION. THE NEWS COVERAGE RELATED THE JAPANESE REACTION TO THE ATOMIC BOMB BEING DROPPED INCLUDED WORDS SUCH AS "BARBARIC," "CRIMINAL,"INHUMAN," ETC. THEY NEGLECTED TO MENTION THE BARBARIC, CRIMINAL AND INHUMAN ACTS WHICH WERE PERPETRATED BY THE JAPANESE ON OUR FIGHTING MEN WHO BECAME PRISONERS. INDEED, AS THE WAR TURNED HEAVILY IN FAVOR OF THE ALLIES, JAPANESE AUTHORITIES WARNED THAT ANY ATTEMPT TO INVADE JAPAN WOULD RESULT IN THE EXTERMINATION OF ALL AMERICAN PRISONERS OF WAR. THERE WERE ESTIMATED TO HAVE BEEN UP TO 100,00 ALLIED PRISONERS IN JAPANESE PRISON CAMPS.
