Burnt Bodies in Tokyo 1945
The first picture was taken shortly after the attack on Tokyo. Using a mixture of explosive and incendiary bombs, 16 square miles of the highly populated city were intentionally burned by attacking the outer edges and letting the fire burn form the outside in. Combined with strong winds, this tactic made in nearly impossible for many to escape. Unlike in an enclosed building where victims usually suffocate before being burned, those above died painfully by literally being burned to death. The heat created by the incendiary bombs was so hot that many who jumped into nearby rivers and ponds to avoid burning were killed instead by boiling water. The second picture is of a mother and her child who died while trying to escape the heat. She was carrying the child on her back when the fire got to them, which left her back rather unscathed compared to the rest of her charred body.  ·  · |

Re: Burnt Bodies in Tokyo 1945
I feel the same way. Dropping bombs on the Saliors at Pearl Harbor. Doing live dissections of soldiers so they could see their organs working. And finnally killing our soldiers (US) and eating their livers because they felt that was where the soul was. Fuck them they got what was coming to them. Meh! Thats just my opinion anyway.  PS Great pics. The last one looks like they dragged the Mother and child and the kid fell off. Look at the scuffs of burnt flesh in the street  These are keepers  |

Re: Burnt Bodies in Tokyo 1945
The attitude of the Jap soldiers and civilians during WW2 was exactly the same ie: Honoured that their sons would die for the nation. Great post. |
