Why we Japanese dare to learn about the Russo-German War now... History repeats itself in different forms...
How war destroys humanity.
How does a person turn into a perpetrator?
The fear that once people are embedded in the system that drives them to war, they can no longer resist. The extreme conditions in which peacetime ethics completely collapse.
The horrific ravages of the war between Germany and the Soviet Union show us these things clearly.
Of course, we do not mean to downplay the suffering of the people in the Pacific War. However, by daring to study the German-Soviet War, which was far away from Japan, we can learn the question of what war is more objectively. That is why I felt the importance of daring to learn about the war between Germany and the Soviet Union.
