Hidden WWII(prologue)

Often I think I would not understand whole of what WW2 was. Because there are so many secrets hidden by victor governments. I found unspeakable fact. If a book tells trues.



I found the book titled "日本人がこれだけは知っておくべきこと(Nihonjin ga koredakeha shitte okubeki koto" which means "things Japanese should learn", written by Nakanishi Terumasa who is a professor of graduate school of Kyoto University. He wrote many things about WW2 which were hidden.



His teacher said "there is not the category that modern history. Because things need an enough interval time to be history." at Cambridge university.



Nakanishi, the author, told me many things which I didn't know. He wrote the book with many disclosed informations of America, Soviet Union and others. He didn't cite the documents, so all I can do is to believe there are the documents.



What I was astonished is that People in Okinawa wasn't ordered to commit suicide by imperial army, rather, they were ordered to survive. I can't do such a "Copernican revolution" but he writes about it seriously. One day a surviver asked ex-commander to lie that imperial army ordered to commit suicide. Because people who lost family were in poverty and if the ex-commander say "the army ordered to do it", people could get money to live. Socialists and Ooe Kenzaburo etc　advertised it in a big way and people became to believe it. Hmm, Why girls in "Himeyuri Butai" committed suicide? Himeyuri Butai was a troops consisted of teen-girls and they were killed in battle or it is said they committed suicide, as I recall. This source is verbal evidence by the party involved. I still can't believe it but he is a serious researcher.



As to American documents, I already learned GHQ was almost socialists party. But I didn't know such a thing which I would mention in part 1. I didn't not know Soviet Union controlled imperial Japan to such extent. I found a good parts of Bush. Well, part 1 would be philosophical a little. I'm not sure how many blogs I write about this topic because I'm still reading the book.



I think I should confirm about the contents after I finished to write about the book.

Well, have a wonderful weekend!
