[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9537423, member: 2844"]Yes, it is, but they didn't have an official system, which the Japanese did, as I already said: And also well known, and you should know by now that I am very much aware of that. The fathers of most of my childhood friends were labour slaves. My father was already in hiding because of his Resistance work when the Germans started to round Dutch boys and men up, otherwise he would have been taken too. And about the link you posted: The Nazi death camps were cruelly systematic and large scale, without a doubt. But I added slave labour [U]for POWs[/U], which was against the convention signed by Japan. It was policy in the Japanese occupied countries, but not in German occupied countries, as I said here: Which is a relevant point because of the The Hague Conventions which I mentioned, at which Japan was present and which Japan also signed: The fact that people outside Asia generally don't know much about WWII in Asia could also add to the confusion. So to clarify, some numbers, this is just China: "According to some estimates, China suffered 14 million casualties during World War II, a number included in the approximately 35 million Chinese people who were killed or wounded during over a decade of Japanese occupation. Out of the thousands of Chinese who were captured, mostly by the Japanese army, and became prisoners of war, only 56 were found alive after the war ended."
