Official U.S. Army photographs of Japanese atrocities 
against  the Filipinos committed during two weeks of butchery 
before the Liberation of Manila on February 3, 1945

“Babes and infirms did not rate an iota of consideration.”

“...practice was to set fire to a house and when the occupants began popping 
out  of the doors or windows, to pick them off one by one”.

“The Filipinos were massacred in masses. The standard practice
was to gather all males in a block, march them off 
to a building and there shot down like dogs.”

“...the Japs realized that they were at the end of their leash and so fought 
back with a savagery for which they  have made a name.”
