Who likes history ?... If you love it, how do you rate your interest?

For me, i love it a lot!

THanks to boredom, i have been reading this book called "FLYBOYS" . Not to be fully confused by the movie with the same name. Basically, it's about the lives and the final fate of 9 B-29 bombers pilots and gunners. One of them is the fomer USA president, George Bush Senior.

Its great to know how History excites you with facts that we thought we know, but we actually don't. AS a big fan of Discovery Channel, i always glued myself to the seat for any history programmes, be it Chinese history, Wartime documentaries, Hilter's stupid anti-Semistism notions, anything with black and white images.

Was reading through and stumbled upon a fact that is prove shocking. Let me summarize...

... Japanese soldiers, towards the end of the World War 2, knew that they are desperate to win. But for some, they already knew they are actually fighting a losing war. THe Pearl Harbour surprise attack may be a sounding victory to them, but it short-lived. Lack of rations and the constant raids by the American forces, Emperor Hirohito's Imperial Army were facing verge of melt-down and they were soul-less.

US Marines invaded into Iwo Jima after hundred of air raids carried out by the bombers of Uncle Sam. NExt bombing carried out in a small island called ChiChi Jima, south of Iwo Jima. Both enemy spots were vital to the US cause to them, they were outside Japan's doorstep.

Japanese soldiers, on the other hand, were fighting on empty stomach. Rumours has it that the Japanese soldiers feed on human fleshes of the captured POWs in Papua New Guinea. So Officers in ChiChi Jima does the same. THey called out POWs and they cut off small part of their fleshes off their body. Anywhere they can find, the palm, calves, liver...

THey cooked it and eat it...

As for the POWs, they were tied and hanged to a tree. Day by day, the hungry japanese cut off parts of their fleshes to feed the few hundreds surviving on the island.

After the war, war crime trial discovered that they can't find any grounds to charge them of cannibalism.
In a Japanese top secret document founded by Australian Army Intelligence, they stumbled upon a shocking fact...

It writes, " Those found consuming human flesh ( excluding enemy ), knowing it's human flesh, will be sentenced to death for the worst human crime... "



They can't eat their own races, but the other races, known to them as the White Devils...

How about that for a short wonderful, but uncomfortable history lesson?...

WE thought we know what happened... but what EXACTLY happened?
