Tol Plantation
Before I go any further I would like to tell you about that massacre at the Tol Plantation. But first, to the uninitiated, New Britain is part of Papua New Guinea and Rabaul used to be the capitol of New Britain. Now when the Imperial Japanese Army invaded Rabaul the small Australian garrison was very quickly over-run. Very little is known about what happened to those who stayed there but we do know that about 150 of them endeavoured to escape before they were finally caught up with at the Tol Plantation.
What happened there was leaked back later by natives who witnessed it. Every one of them was used for bayonet practise by the Japs. Not one survived.(Note This is not so, as family members of the three survivers have indicated in the comments below. But it is what Ross believed and that is the point.)
Their bodies were discovered sometime later by some coast-watchers still laying down where they had died. Now there is no way in the world I could stick a bayonet into some poor buggers’ belly unless it was strictly in self defence.
The Japs have always maintained they have no respect for anybody who surrenders: it is not part of their Bushido Code. But that is so much crap because they were equally as cruel to civilians, if not more so. The Bataan Death March ‘the Rape of Nanking’ in China in 1937 where they raped all the young girls before killing them, they have said themselves they used to abide by the three ‘alls’. Kill all, loot all, burn all. It has been documented that two big Jap officers there had a competition between them to see which one of them could decapitate the most Chines in one hour with their Samurai swords. They were both executed at wars’ end.
It is also documented that they not only raped but they also tortured men, women and children in the most sadistic manner imaginable, thrusting sticks up into people’s private parts. Staking out women tied with their legs agape so they could be raped continuously by any passing soldier until they were dead. Burying people alive: forcing fathers to rape their daughters and grand-daughters; etc, etc; and laughingly enjoying themselves immensely. Killing, raping, sodomising, and torturing more people in Nanking than in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. It is estimated that about 300,000 Chinese civilians were killed in Nanking alone.
It is also documented that many of the women who were raped became pregnant and destroyed their babies at birth.
Even today, two or three generations on, if given the opportunity they would be just as big a pack of cruel sadist bastards as their grandfathers (it’s in their blood). Call me racist if you will but I am speaking the truth. Now to the sceptics, the bleeding hearts and the ‘do-gooders’: You would probably like to think of me as a racist but before you jump to conclusions I have this to say to you.
Get yourself down to Dymocks books Store in Sydney. Buy a copy of the ‘Rape of Nanking’. If you have the stomach to even get half-way through that book then and only then can you call me a racist.
