China: Remembering the Imperial Japanese “Mukden Concentration Camp” [Auschwitz of the East]! (4.12.2025)

I was talking with an academic collegaue in North-East China who asked me to research Russian language sources covering the Imperial Japanese POW Camp established at Mukden. Below is some basic data – but I know Red Aemy soldiers were dissected alive and used in all kinds of experiments. These Allied POWs were transferred to the Japanese after being captured by the Nazi Germans in the USSR between 1941-1944 (the Soviet Red Army liberated the area during late 1945). After the war – we in the UK were not told about this war crime – despite the USSR being our loyal Ally. Japan got away with it due to the US colonising a defeated Japan and using it a fascistic bulwark against a Socialist China. This is where prisoners from all backgrounds – the Chinese suffered terribly – were “Reversed Punched” [Gyaku Zuki] to death (by Japanese Karate practitioners) – whilst tied to posts. As a means to side-line Chinese culture in the West – the US then spread Karate all over Europe and the Americas – as if it were a good thing.
