In the last 500 years, have there been civilizations whose cruelty matched that of Nazi Germany?

On top of this they literally tore the unborn from women’s wombs and speared them alive with bayonets in front of them. They’d crush the infant’s skull against concrete floors. They would actually do this for fun.
The horrors of Unit 731 aren’t something typically taught in school, yet it is vital that we understand what happened there. If we do not learn from history, we are destined to repeat it.
One notorious incident involved the killing of merchant seamen from Dutch vessel Tjisalak, which was sunk on March 26, 1944 by Japanese sub I-8. Survivors were pulled out of their lifeboats or from the sea and assembled on the deck near the sub propellors. Commander Uchino Shinji then ordered the Western sailors to be killed as he watched from the conning tower.
It is estimated that up to 250,000 people fell victim to these cruel and inhumane experiments. At least 1,000 Japanese were involved in the testing.

One by one, merchant sailors and civilians were either beheaded or hit with sledgehammers, and thrown onto the sub’s moving propellors. Twenty-two of the Asian Indian crew were then tied to a long rope and dragged undersea as IJN sub I-8 submerged. At least four of the merchant seamen escaped by jumping overboard during the executions. Uchino was never tried after the war, instead he was hailed as a hero back in Japan.
How can I get over a break up?
The Japanese used criminals, political prisoners, homeless persons, and the mentally disabled for their tests. Ages ran the gamut from infants to the elderly. Pregnant women were utilized as well.
** Vivisection of a conscious prisoner.
Among the staff of Unit 731 were physicians and bacteriologists. A few of them published their findings in peer-reviewed journals as if the testing had been performed on non-human primates, which they referred to as Manchurian monkeys.
TLDR: Japan did some truly horrific shit that many people including the present day Japanese citizens are unaware of. What they did is abysmal carnage from the Antichrist itself.
” that the women had been coerced into sex.
They raped and pillaged women of all ages, even toddlers to old women in the most vile, disgusting way imaginable. They would often disembowel them while in the process, leaving them to die in agony.

From the invasion of China in 1937 to the end of World War II, the Japanese military regime murdered near 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, most probably almost 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war. This is more than the estimated Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
Edit: Since I'm getting quite a lot of people who clearly don't seem to understand and may not have read or researched in depth in this matter. They are saying that 'Japan does not need to offer apology or compensation for what people of their past did etc'
Otherwise thank you for reading and have a nice day.
How did my ex move on very fast?
Why do you think Germany forces every citizen to learn about their nazi history and Japan doesn't ? It is to deliberately ignore and not acknowledge their past due to their pride and selfishness. I'd equate this to even pathological narcissism and psychopathy due to how far they have gone in managing stomping this knowledge out of their own present day citizens.
They even had some prisoners of war from the west such as America, any forces against them at the time etc.
Thousands of men, women, children, and babies were subjected to surgical procedures done without anesthesia, and more times than not, this ended with their death.
Despite this, Japan still presently denies what has happened and even believes that it is a rumour. The young people as shown in this video are absolutely clueless on the whole tragedy, or are so far removed in cognitive dissonance and lack of care it is astounding. There is even a middle aged woman in the video who even says “Well I’m not sure if it’s a rumour or not…” which is an absolute lunacy and an embarrassment of the failure of the country in not properly educating their citizens of what truly happened. One young girl even says “Well, I wonder when they will ever get over it…” How are people supposed to get over it when there are still thousands of victims still alive who didn’t receive any form of compensation for what they have been through??!

In Felton’s book “Slaughter at Sea: The Story of Japan’s Naval War Crimes” (Naval Institute Press, 2008), he has reviewed new document sources and interviews that show the extent of IJN war crimes: “The Japanese Navy sunk merchant ships and Red Cross vessels, then murdered survivors floating in the sea or in lifeboats. Allied air crews were rescued from the ocean and then tortured to death on the decks of ships.”

Also, piece of shit apologies that require uttering words and throwing money at victims isn't a true apology when they are still in 2019 warping textbooks and none of their youths know anything about their crimes.
So why do they need to apologise? Because unlike Germany what they are doing is absolutely deplorable and morally bankrupt by continuing to CONTRIBUTE to the legacy of the abomination Japan was in the past. You don't see Germany do the same about the Nazis and for good reason. It means Japan hasn't learned and is not truly remorseful. By Japan I am talking of the FACES of Japan which are the politicians who represent that country. The rest of the Japanese experience their trickle down effect so while it's not saying it's their fault, they end up indirectly contributing to supporting these vile politicians. So yes the people who represent JAPAN who hold the power of influence does need to sincerely apologise and stop contributing to what they are presently doing.
Hundreds of thousands of women from my country in Korea were forcefully abducted (called comfort women) during the Japanese occupation in WWII. They endured torture beyond imagination if they did not sexually submit to these vile men and were forced to have sex with 60–100 men every single day. Their innards rotted because of the STD’s and they were destroyed, unable to have children even after they were rescued. They have still not been compensated for the war crimes that they endured and majority have died.

What Japan did wasn’t just an invasion or occupation, it was a literal carnage, hell on earth genocide. They didn’t have to go this far as majority of the Koreans and the people they invaded were helpless farmers, uneducated servants, and innocent people who were not trained in war at all. They did this because they did not see these people as human, and their goal wasn’t simply to occupy, but to desecrate the spirit from within. They knew when you destroy someone’s spirit from inside out, the enemy will bend the knee and yield to the point where they do not have the soul to fight back. On top of this, it was just pure, raw sadistic savagery because all of these helpless people surrendered and begged for mercy yet they were still tortured for absolutely no reason.
Occasionally, limbs were amputated, and doctors attempted to reattach them. Some had their stomachs removed, and their esophagus surgically attached to their intestines. Other procedures involved removing various portions of organs and brain matter and suturing up the subject. I can’t call them patients, because that’s not what they were.

They tied sons and daughters up and tore them apart, spearing them and forced their own parents to watch.
There were tests involving depriving people of all food and water and seeing how long it took them to die. Other tests placed prisoners into high-pressure chambers until their eyes burst from their sockets.
The Japanese would also remove large amounts of blood from humans and replace it with animal blood from various species. People were injected with large volumes of seawater. Some unfortunate souls were simply burned alive.

Instead of blaming others, look at what Japanese Nationals do. Stop diverting the attention away by blaming the mistakes of other countries yet not acknowledging the corruption of the Japanese government
“The government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is engaged in an all-out effort to portray the historical record as a tissue of lies
designed to discredit the nation," wrote Mindy Kotler, director of Asia Policy Point, in 2014.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe controversially claimed that “there was no evidence to prove
Handling the fallout of what occurred at Unit 731 was not America’s finest hour. Many who carried out atrocities in the Unit were secretly given immunity from prosecution by the United States in exchange for data obtained by the experimentation.
The Germans in contrast have personally done everything possible to make people aware of their Nazi past. Japan doesn't scratch the surface of what it means to have true honour while Germans go to great lengths to do humanitarian work and to allow their citizens to understand the FULL facts. This is what true compensation and remorse actually is, not the dogshit excuse of what Japan does by also denying people, correct history. End of.
Conditions were unspeakable. Some subjects were submitted to repeated instances of rape by their guards. Once the experiments had concluded, all of the corpses were incinerated.
This is regarding what the Japanese did during their occupation of Korea and the war crimes they committed to the surrounding Asian countries, including some Pacific Islands they invaded: Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Myanmar, East Timor, New Guinea, Indonesia, Guam, Nauru, Wake Island, Attu and Kiska Islands, and Kiribati.
Maruta was the code name given to medical experimentation done on living human beings. Test subjects were chosen mainly from the population of that region.
The Japanese would remove organs to gauge the effect on the human body. Limbs were amputated (again, without anesthesia) to see how long it took individuals to bleed to death. Sometimes subjects were saved only to have another limb removed later.
The prisoners were injected with infectious diseases, which they were told were vaccinations. Disease agents included syphilis and gonorrhea. Doctors would not treat the subsequent infections that they caused.
Carcasses of babies and children piled up
Japanese people often fail to understand why neighbouring countries harbour a grudge over events that happened in the 1930s and 40s. The reason, in many cases, is that they barely learned any 20th Century history. I myself only got a full picture when I left Japan and went to school in Australia
Actually many Imperial ship and sub Commanders had already been “carrying out” these despicable atrocities since early 1942, however, there were usually no survivors to recount what had happened. A number of such atrocities occurred in the Indian Ocean among British merchant vessels. Historian Mark Felton, among others, has estimated that 20,000 British and Australian sailors were executed at sea during WWII by the Japanese Navy after their ships were sunk.
Below is a real life account by a South Korean comfort woman on the horrors she went through. It is heartbreaking to watch but quite educational. She sadly passed away early January of this year, fighting until her last breath but still never receiving any compensation or apology from the Japanese. They don’t even recognize that she went through this or who she is.
In 1947, General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, wrote to Washington, D.C., explaining that:
Their government still warps their history books and deliberately tries to hide the evidence of what truly happened. There are active groups within Japan who refuse to accept what happened and truly believe that it is just a ‘rumour’ to make Japan look bad.
Some people were burnt to varying degrees to see how much it took to kill them. There were experiments that ran electrical currents through people until they died. Prisoners were spun on large centrifuges until it took their life.
It's more complicated than that. Please read the links again. Even if they can't take full responsibility for their past, they SHOULD take responsibility for the future by not warping textbooks and giving power to political parties who enforces the dangerous fallacy of denying any of this ever happened or triviliazing everything that has happened. They should make sure to teach the correct history not just for educational purposes but to ensure their citizens fully know and accept their own history and in hopes that it never happens again. This is also to help not silence the voices of the people who did suffer in the past and to not spit into their graves and ruin their legacy by spreading false lies.
** A body is moved in Unit 731
Also the comfort women and people who were forcefully taken into labour camps as prisoners, many are still alive who didn't actually get any compensation or even sheer RECOGNITION. They suffered their entire lives without anyone hearing what they have to say with nothing from Japan. This isn't just about wanting Japan to go up to a stadium and saying 'I am sorry' and stepping down. Words are meaningless and worthless when not backed up by actions.
"Additional data, possibly some statements from Ishii (commander of Unit 731), can probably be obtained by informing Japanese involved that information will be retained in intelligence channels and will not be employed as 'War Crimes' evidence".
Good question—Atrocities perpetrated by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Pacific War have been frequently overlooked when considering Japan’s war crimes. An order issued by the Imperial Navy General Staff to all Imperial Fleets on March 20, 1943 read: “Do not stop at the sinking of enemy ships and cargoes. AT THE SAME TIME CARRY OUT THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE CREWS.”
They conducted unspeakable evil torture and experiments on LIVE prisoners from these countries even children and infants in UNIT 731. Torture methods such as dissecting pregnant women without any anesthesia, centrifuging and killing people in pressurized chambers, and slowly burning and freezing people alive. They artificially created what is similar to the ‘bubonic plague’ to see the effects on the prisoners. They were forced into X-rays until they perished and hung people by their thumbs or tongues etc. These torture tactics were deliberately planned to see death happen SLOWLY, not fast as the scientists wanted to observe the resilience of the human body.
Human beings were used as targets to test the efficacy of hand grenades. They were placed at multiple distances from the blast and in various poses. Flamethrowers were tested on humans. People were tied to stakes and used as targets for chemical weapons and high explosives, as well as small arms, bayonets, and knives.
“Naval infantry sailors took civilians out to sea and fed them to sharks. Others [Allied seamen and civilians] were killed by sledgehammer, beheading, hanging, drowning, burning, or crucifixion.” Felton noted there was only one documented case of a German U-boat commander held responsible for the murder of survivors. “In the Japanese Imperial Navy it was official orders”, said Felton. American survivors recalled being shot at by IJN pilots after leaving their sinking ships in rafts or while floating. Yet relatively few IJN personnel were ever held accountable in war crimes trials.
Presently Japan is one of the most wealthiest and prosperous Asian countries in the world yet they cannot even fully take responsibility for their own committed atrocities. It shows the savage barbarism that still resides in some of these people and makes one question just how this is even acceptable. Instead they choose to warp their own history books, flat out deny it existed and have refused to offer sincere, acceptable compensation/apology for the people who are still alive. They are waiting until every last victim is dead so they no longer have to worry about it. They are not truly ashamed of this past, they just see it as an eyesore they want to bury. Keep in mind Japan has very strong political parties that strives to ensure this shameful past does not reach the masses to retain their false honour. Still to this day, they praise their war criminals in shrines.
“Mr. Abe’s administration DENIES that imperial Japan ran a system of human trafficking and coerced prostitution, implying that comfort women were simply camp-following prostitutes,” Kotler continued. "The official narrative in Japan is fast becoming detached from reality, as it seeks to cast the Japanese people -- rather than the comfort women of the Asia-Pacific theater -- as the victims of this story.”
Information obtained from bio-weapons testing on human subjects was co-opted into the U.S. biological warfare program.
Pregnant mothers were cut open and rape victims were sodomized with bamboo sticks and bayonets until they died in agony.
What follows is a true story of man’s inhumanity to man. I wish I could say it is the stuff of fiction, but it is not.
Edit 2: As I am still getting very disrespectful, deranged comments on here pitting atrocities against each other, saying that I am spreading lies and others spewing ignorant hatred against Koreans, here's my final message.
Unit 731 was a covert chemical and biological warfare research unit founded and operated by the Japanese during WWII. It was physically located in Northeast China during the war.
This “research facility” conducted medical experiments on human subjects that were as cruel and inhumane as those carried out in Nazi concentration camps.
As I am getting tired of having to repeat the same information again and again, any comments that say things along the lines of 'Japan does not need to apologise' or those questioning or defending the existence of any of these crimes, their war criminals will be either ignored, deleted or blocked. It is extremely disrespectful to the victims and deplorable. The links are already here clear as day for reading and one can also do the research themselves. Also for anyone who brings up another atrocity and pitting them against each other, STOP. This post isn't about pitting one atrocity against another, it is disgusting to even keep doing that and seriously lacks any insight into the original point of my post.
Later, rumors and victim accounts of what happened were primarily shrugged off by the west as communist propaganda.
They are hypocrites by warping textbooks and also praising their own war criminals. Imagine what the world would say if Germany praises Nazis and gave strong political power that has the power to make Germans never even hearing of the Nazis or even contemplate if it was just a rumour or not. Think about how insane that would be.
Victims were essentially de-humanized. They were known as “logs” to those who operated the Unit. The official cover story of the facility was that it was merely a lumber mill. If management wanted to know how many people had died, they would ask, “How many logs fell today?”
