Military Japan at the end of World War II prepared sophisticated prisoner to tortured, therefore the General Staff of the Kwantung Army issued a special instruction with the description of torture methods. This is stated in the documents published by the Federal FSB of Russia, RIA Novosti reports.
Among the materials there is a so-called “Secret War Service Guide”, which contained the main provisions of the interrogation of prisoners of war.
The document says that “torture should be done in such a way that it does not have bad effects” for the Japanese, as well as that the tortures should be maintained and continue so that the questioned does not have any ways to get rid of suffering, in addition Cottages. At the same time, the volitional captured torture can increase the desire to resist, and “after a successful interrogation, leave an eye against the empire,” said Japanese.
Torture methods should be such that they can be easily applied, without pity, supporting the sufferings of the questioned, but that in their bodies would not remain wound and scars. For example, the questioned was supposed to drip into the nose and mouth water, putting them in front of it on the back and health of the legs or, putting the captured, “trample him the external ankle.”
On August 8, the FSB of Russia for the first time declassified evidence of the preparation of Japan to war from the USSR. This became known from the order No. 70 parts of the 3rd army of August 9, 1938, as well as from the interrogation of the last Commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Rodzo Yamada. Secretary of the Association of Historians of the Allied State Dmitry Surzhik explained, it was necessary to combat revenge, which is gaining strength in modern Japanese society.
