Yeah, Crittendon should pick up a book called “First in Nagasaki” and educate himself about Japanese POW camps. And that’s just one book among plenty out there. I learned some time ago, too, when working at the Nat Archives, that many American POW officers (shot down pilots) were shot by their captors AFTER the bombs, and with their own serice revolvers.
But he can read about hellish voyages on POW ships to Japan, beatings, starvation, little to no medical treatment, forced labor in mines in the above mentioned book.
