Japanese Fascist dominated Vietnam just a few years, but

French colonial. They killed Vietnamese for their ambition of
land, drafted the young women into the imperial army camps
and used them as the “sex-slave” for Japanese soldiers fighting
in the Indochina.

Once Nguyen’s mother had talked in the dinner time:

“Because Japanese fascist had burned the paddies, made
North Vietnam falling into the starvation, and anywhere had
dead bodies. The firebase on the dike of Red River and about
two miles from Thanh-Lap village had a cruel Japanese officer.
He used a Vietnamese man as his slavery to take care of his
horse, while his servant’s family were hungry without help, and
they were the skeletons, who can work and talk. So a servant
had stolen 1/3 of rice-bran, bought a home to feed his family,
and added some husk mixing with water and green grass to feed
a hose for each day. Soon a Japanese officer found out that his
horse was sick and die because his servant did not give the right
food for a horse. He took his sword to disembowel the horse,
pushed a man alive into it, and used the hemp rope to sew it
back. The victim’s spouse became unconscious when she was
looking at the soldiers covering a horse by the poncho and cared
them into the hole to bury them. Her children were struggling on
the ground and cry with their hearts while their hands were
scratching on the grave, where the Japanese soldiers just put a
victim and horse down. A Japanese officer did not have a little
emotion. He had the nasty and dirty words after he looked at a
victim’s spouse and her five children with a cold face, and
passed away from them. Then he rises horse to go back his
firebase after he had threatened some farmers, who stayed away
a short distance to look at his actions by his handgun.”
