In war, people think that surrender and retreat are a very disgraceful thing. In their view, these acts are equivalent to surrendering to the other side in disguise, especially surrendering to the enemy army, which is tantamount to seeking their own death. But some countries believe that living is hope, and if a person dies on the battlefield, no matter how much honor he receives after death, he will never see it. In World War II, the one who surrendered the most diligently must have been Italy.
After all, Italy's pig teammates on the battlefield are not one or two. Perhaps for them, it is more important for them to come back alive from the battlefield than to win the battle. It is said that even if they became captives, they did not feel sad because they were dying, but were more concerned about whether they could eat their beloved pasta. However, there is one country that is worse than Italy. The country not only allowed soldiers to surrender when necessary, but even prepared surrender documents for its own soldiers.
Who is it? It is the United States, why does the United States have such a practice, in the early days of World War II, the United States has always been a state of watching the fire from the other side, if it were not for Japan running to attack its Pearl Harbor, perhaps the United States did not join the battlefield of World War II so quickly. Therefore, they only want to take revenge in their hearts. For the U.S. military, as long as they are willing to become soldiers on the battlefield, they are good citizens loyal to the country.
Therefore, if surrender is for self-preservation, the United States is allowed. After all, if defeated and become a prisoner, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to redeem the prisoners of war. But surrender is different, maybe the other side is open, the soldiers can have a glimmer of life.
Therefore, the U.S. military very intimately prepared the instrument of surrender, because world war II had a wide range of influence and many countries involved. Therefore, the surrender documents prepared by the US military, which are in the language of thirteen countries, are fully taken into account the misunderstandings that may be caused by the inconvenience of communication. However, these surrender documents were basically given to the Air Force. Because the US military has devoted a lot of effort to the cultivation of its own air force, the last thing they want to see is the casualties of the air force. There was no objection to the surrender of other soldiers.
However, there was no Japanese version of the surrender letters, and the U.S. military never surrendered to the Japanese army. Because the behavior of the Japanese army at that time made all Americans hate the Japanese army to the bone, they themselves also knew that even if they surrendered to the Japanese army, with the consistent brutal means of the Japanese army, the surrendered American army was doomed not to come back alive, so when they encountered the Japanese army, they resolutely did not surrender, and they must fight to the end.
Many countries have seen the surrender of the US military and have not embarrassed them. It is probably for this reason that the U.S. military was able to preserve some of its strength in World War II. And those surrender documents have also become precious war materials.
