Horror in the East - Season 1

Season 1

In the First World War the Japanese fought on the same side as the British and captured German soldiers who were fighting in Asia. They were treated well, even, following an Imperial Order of 1882, 'as guests'. The question arises: "How could the Japanese behave with such kindness towards their prisoners in World War I and then, less than thirty years later, act with such cruelty?"

Death Before Surrender

When World War Two turned against the Japanese, why did so many soldiers choose death rather than surrender? What was the motivation of the kamikaze pilots who flew planes into British and American ships? The second of two programmes features interviews with American Marines, British PoWs and Japanese veterans - some of them war criminals - and attempts to uncover the answers to these questions, and build a comprehensive portrait of a nation in crisis.
