WWII Marine Talks About How Evil the Japanese Were

on sugar like I said we was on top of theirs underneath us and they could go out and throw grenades at us angle angle to the damages they throw grenades at us that's good then they go back and only way we got them out was our tanks when on the outskirts all the way around and come back in in shot her mouth shut napalm in there and 50 caliber I was on Okinawa and we was advancing towards no halt and the gunnery sergeant says Walt take the prisoner back but you be back here in a minute I said yes sir I said a minute he said your what I said I said I'll be back so I was taking this prisoner back I started searching him he only had one picture on him that's it nothing else he wouldn't give it up I said yes yes he said no no I said yes yes I want the picture well I looked at my watch that time was going by I had to shoot him get the picture but I did do that what to do and he had a picture of Japanese soldiers cutting Chinese heads off put them in a cage what's behind it I do not know except I was told maybe they were just checking her swords I was told that the face cut a head off one whackies a good soldier whether true or not I do not know I'll show you the picture in a few minutes right now we're telling what happened and why this was taken in China that's a great bowl the great wall John and that is something to see - I've been all over it he just come he was lost he was trying to find time floundered his company trying to find some of these people he was lost he just showed up nowhere he thought his hands up when he saw us so the gun he says take him back but you'd be back here remember we have to move on yes sir no sir it did not bother me I had to do what I had to do not done nothing not done bother me nothing too far away and you get stuck back here by yourself there's Japs all around you know that's what the Gunny said he said you be back here in a minute we we as a group but you go back by yourself get stuck out there you're a dead duck this is a photo I got off that and that's the only thing he had on him but when the Gunny sergeant says you be back here in a minute that meant I had to get back or did get be left and I was not going to be left so I had to shoot him he got the picture left him late then rejoined and we moved on we're looking at a photo taken against that the Great Wall of China and looks like two Japanese soldiers whether they're officers not do not know was trying to well they was really checking the sword see how good sharply are I guess in fact cut a head off and put it in the case in one wacky was a good swordsman so they told me now that's all I know about Chinese they cut Chinese heads off and put it in and look like a birdcage you know that's a good example of the Japanese brutality you know during the war just how brutal and inhumane they were yes were there any other experiences you had that made you realize just how ferocious mister what I've done I've killed him first you know they taught me kill or be killed and I killed didn't ask no questions and that's what I've done you couldn't trust them if they got too close to you they can add a grenade on you they could have a pistol you never know so shoot first and live longer yes yes yes they pretend to be dead and some of them pull other Japs on top of them yeah well you know we when we moved ahead we didn't have time to do a whole lot because we had to move we may move one day and be pinned down for two days and another day we may move cover five miles just never know sometimes we was pinned down for two days and never got to move but the Japanese I never trusted you would find them laying there to think you were dead but deed I had a grenade in their hand or pistol and you had to be mighty mighty careful how you handle it - sometimes I took the rifle with a bayonet on and turn them over and when they move on use as alive so you shoot him going about your business it's cruel but then there I had done it hmm yeah real real well if you've never been there you really don't know what it is till you've been on the front line you run into the people I think I know what it is no you did not know till you've been there he did not bother me it did not bother me I don't care where they killed me or not just never does bother me of coach hey it was war kill or be killed I never thought about anything did have no girlfriends back here then didn't have enough to go to but my family I didn't worry about nothing and I'm same way now I don't worry about nothing right now don't do a good worry oh yeah oh yeah I've had people cover it up with newspaper they can find one try to protect themselves I've had people in my whole with me that would jump out and try to run not grab them pull them back save her life you get killed just staying this whole world you've got some protection and I'm telling you you can dig a hole door if you had to except for the one on top right cliff reason ends up in the rock I piled rock up about a foot high no no I wasn't Sugarloaf it was where that tank shot the napalm in that in that cave and that soldier come up out of there that night he scaled that cliff when they throw to the Lubar marinade up let the sky up why I said always was something wrong I'm thinking something wrong here I've turned my rifle round finger on a trigger throw it up another one he was just about stepped in a hole not shot him for he stepped in the hole and boys - boys jumped up what happened I said visitor we didn't need so I said well I'm going to bed I'm gonna try to sleep y'all can take a rest to watch all night one more step had been on top of us he scaled up a cliff do not bend to attack that I mean they was right on top of us no we've done we've done left Sugarloaf i don'ti was headed toward null Hall mm-hmm and there was a tunnel from C to C that the Japanese in we was probably right along that tunnel somewhere they did not tell us where we was going what was going to just go go go and kill anything that moved and I'm telling you we was outnumbered probably somebody said 12:15 to one anyways but we survived a lot of praying probably so also some from the bomb so - because if a leg hits you on the back for you laying down looking to Ed's arm laying on your back or a leg or something with that had to be from an explosion and that happened just throw it all for going about your business pays no attention to it
