Actually, there are those who claim most of the soldiers who committed atrocities at Nanking were Koreans (in Japanese service). Personally, I doubt that’s completely true – and in any case, the Japanese certainly were responsible for what their army did/allowed to happen.

Here and elsewhere, the Japanese often live civilians or POWs for life bayonet practice. Treatment of POWs was more than a little “lacking” - the Bataan Death March, beheadings, etc…
