During China's War Against Japanese Aggression (1937-1945), China's part in World War Two (1939-1945), Japanese soldiers became notorious for beheading helpless victims.
For the Allies, Japan's brutality was not an excuse to abuse Japanese Prisoners of War.
US interrogators hosted Japanese prisoners at "Camp Tracy," actually a luxury resort hotel at California's Byron Hot Springs. US interrogators treated Japanese prisoners kindly, providing them meals cooked by Asian chefs and spa baths.
In 2010, former interrogator Al Nipkow told The San Francisco Chronicle that "as far as brutalizing anyone--there wasn't any question about that. It wasn't allowed."
