War crimes in world war

Answer 1

In World War I:

1) Rape of Belgium - After the Germans occupied Belgium, many resistance fighters rise up against the occupiers. In response, German troops destroyed entire towns and villages and executed thousands of civilians in order to create terror among the population.

2) Unrestricted submarine warfare - German submarines sunk both enemy and neutral ships alike without warning and giving passengers time to leave.

3) Poison gas in warfare- All major belligerents used chemical weapons against enemy combatants in violation of the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 which prohibited their use.

In World War II:

1) Rape of Nanking - Within two weeks, 250,000 enemy civilians and surrendered enemy combatants were murdered by the Japanese Army. These range from flipping babies up in the air and caught with bayonets, raping women, and executing hundreds of thousands of them simply for the hell of it.

2) Holocaust - between the late 1930s to 1945, over 10 million Jews and other ethic minorities were killed in concentration camps, mostly through gas chambers, deliberate starvation, etc.

3) Enemy Airmen's Act - Over hundreds of Allied airmen shot down over Japanese-held territory or captured by Japanese forces in the battlefield were summarily executed under this act.

4) German supression of resistance movements in Nazi-occupied Europe - Everytime German occupation troops smelled a resistance fighter hiding in one of the houses, they often destroyed the entire place just to kill a resistance fighter or simply for the hell of it just to kill civilians. These actions were judged by the Nuremberg Trials to be beyond justification of military necessity, therefore constituting war crimes.

5) Commando Order - Many Allied commandos, properly uniformed or not, captured by German troops were executed without a trial under this act.

6) Three Alls Policy - A policy by the Japanese Army in Asia to "loot all, kill all, burn all." Many precious things were stolen by the Japanese and 30 million non-Japanese Asians died as a result of this act.
