>> The Nazi Regime Murdered:- (not killed in enemy action, but Murdered)
>>
>> 6 million jews, 5.7 million soviet citizens, 3 million Soviet prisoners of war, 1.8 million
>> Polish Civilians, and one million Roma, Insane, Homosexual, and Jehova Witnesses.
I don't think there is any doubt that the British public were prepared to begin to forgive the Germans much quicker than the Japanese.
Why? Quite complex, It seems. Probably one reason is the people the Germans murdered were for the most part foreigners. No, it doesn't justify it.
The people the Japanese killed or illtreated were our own. Many people knew, or knew of someone badly treated by them.
Crude, but I think that is at least one of the reasons.
