War is an inevitable event in the history of human development, in the past, if a country wanted to develop, it was necessary to need resources to meet domestic needs, and at that time, the national productivity was generally low, and it could only plunder resources by invading other countries.
The most typical are the two world wars that broke out in the last century, which brought great disasters to mankind, and many countries were devastated and people were displaced. But even in the midst of brutal wars, there is an unwritten international rule not to kill health care workers.
Of course, there will be people who say that it is not internationally stipulated that surrendered soldiers cannot be killed? It is true that there are many international treaties that stipulate this, but there are precedents for surrendered soldiers to be executed under special circumstances, but medical personnel are universally recognized as protected objects, and Germany has done a good job of this.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is responsible for humanitarian relief and has been involved in many wars, including the aforementioned World War II.
At that time, Germany, the initiator of the Axis powers, was recognized in the world as ferocious and brutal, and their fascist dictatorship and Nazi German army were world-famous.
But even the Germans, who were so brutal, were still very respectful of the Red Cross members, and the Germans made it clear that they were not allowed to kill them.
But there is one country that ignores this rule: Japan, which is also a member of the Axis powers. At that time, Japan was planning a sneak attack on the port of Darwin, Australia, and after the war began, the Japanese launched many air raids, and the port of Darwin instantly became a port of blood. But even so, the Japanese did not give up the air raids, when the defenders had lost their combat effectiveness, and in the face of unarmed Red Cross medical personnel, the Japanese brutally dropped incendiary bombs, and a large number of medical personnel and civilians died tragically.
However, the Japanese eventually paid the price for their atrocities, and the Australian army then annihilated 170,000 Japanese troops in the New Guinea battlefield, and even the soldiers who surrendered, the Australian army did not give them a chance to survive, because they will always remember the Darwin massacre.
That is why today Germany has been forgiven by the whole world, while Japan is still spurned by the world.
