Who has committed more crimes during WW2 - Japans or Nazis?

Question:


it's not a popular topic...but japanese have been totally...bad *** (the right word!!) during ww2 - like eating captured soldiers or vivisection without anasthesia to patients. Nazi crimes are more popular and some are exaggerated by soviet propaganda i believe - nevertheless nazis totally outnumber Japan by number of victims for one thing. what do you think?

Answer:


Just compare the Laconia incident, where 1,000 British, Polish and Italian shipwrecked had been saved by 3 German and one Italian submarine, During the rescue effort they were bombed by a USAF B 24. The German Admiral Dönitz then prohibited further rescue operations. For this "Laconia Order" he was later convicted in Nuremberg as a war criminal. In such a way it is very easy to have a lot of war crimes on ones records (the American B 24 pilots and commander weren't even criticized by any supreme command).
