Coomaraswamy report to the UN:
"the consistency of the accounts of women from quite different parts of South-East Asia of the manner in which they were recruited and the clear involvement of the military and Government at different levels is indisputable.
[...]
The first comfort stations under direct Japanese control were those in Shanghai in 1932, and there is first-hand evidence of official involvement in their establishment. One of the commanders of the Shanghai campaign, Lieutenantﾂ―General Okamura Yasuji, confessed in his memoirs to have been the original proponent of comfort stations for the military."
The biggest issue is the way of recruitments.
]
Coomaraswamy report to the UN: mentions.
Nearly all evidence concerning the recruitment of "comfort women" comes from the oral testimony of the victims themselves.
Testimonies are not enough to prove anything.If they were,UFOs and Nessie would be proven.
People need to examine the testimonies.
About recruitments,Coomoraswamy just picked up these theree testimonies.
about no.54,she said
"
I was taken to the police station in a truck, where I was raped by several policemen. "
In Korea,over 50% of Policemen were Korean.
I wonder if Korean raped her as well as Japanese.
And she said.
"
There were around400 other Korean young girls with me and we had to serve over 5,000 Japanese soldiers as sex slaves everyday - up to 40 men per day "
Firstly,there should be rumour about missing 400 young girls.
It must be impossible to kidnapped 400 girls without any witnesses.
Are there any dairies, newspapers or whatever mentioning missing girls?
Secondly,the fact that 400 girls were raped by 40 soldiers a day means that about 5,000 soldiers raped girls 3 times a day.It would be guite tough.
Thirdly,if that comfort station was supervised by agent, military could not pay the money for about 16,000 rapes a day,so it should be supervised directly the military.However,there were no comfort station supervised directly by the military in North Korea (if I am wrong,please let me know)
"
One Korean girl caught a venereal disease from being raped so often and, as a result, over 50 Japanese soldiers were infected. In order to stop the disease from spreading and to 'sterilize' the Korean girl, they stuck a hot iron bar in her private parts. "
One Korean girl caught a veneral disease from being raped thus the one of guys who raped her had caught a venereal disease before that.On average,soldiers raped 3 times a day,girls were raped 40 times a day.It must have been speread widely.
If there were 50 soldiers infected,why was only one girls tortured like that?
And the military order soldiers to use condoms in order to prevent venereal diseases for keeping their strength.
"
I think over half of the girls who were at the garrison barracks were killed. Twice I tried to run away, but both times we were caught after a few days. "
Even though she tried to run away twice,she survived.What did the half of the girls who were killed do?
about No.55
there are several questions.
Who drived the Japanese truck? Japanese agent? Korean agent? or soider?
When she realised there were not factory,what did she ask about it?
Did she understand Japanese?
Who managed the Comfort Places.
"
She tried to resist the men and bit one of them in his arm. She was then taken to the courtyard and in front of all of us, her head was cut of f with a sword and her body was cut into small piece.. "
This thing never happened if agents managed the Comfort Place,because she could earn much money and there was no reason to miss it.
Even it was managed by the military,it was big loss to kill comfort women.
Why were "all of us" at the courtyard? Many soldiers were queuing.
How did she know the girl had bitten?
Of course there is a possiblity that the soldier was high rank and gathered everyone and explained what she had done and killed her as a kind of show trial.But if so,she would say so.
To cut into small pieces...By sward?
No.56
she was 73 years old in 1995 when the report published.
She went to work the Japanese military factory,when she was 17 (in 1939)
She worked there for 3 years (untill 1942)
She was raped and she forced to be Comfort Women.
She worked as Comfort Women for 5 years (untill 1947)
cf. Japan lost in 1945.
You guys might think "this revisionist is too captious."
However if you want to critisize something without real evidence,there must be a massive amount of oral testimonies without any incoherances and circumstantial evidence.
For some people,the testimonies of no.54,55 might be very reliable,however no.56 is definately crap.And also in the meaning of examination, Coomoraswamy report is crap.
Circumstance evidence.
Korean historians argue there were 200,000 Korean comfort women.
And chinese historians argue there were 200,000 Chinese comfort women.
If so,at least there were 400,000 comfort women.
And people say they were raped 10 to 40 times a day.
At least 95% of Comfort stations were managed by private agents.
A sex cost at least 1.5yen.The salary of low rank soldiers was 12 yen per month.
The total number of Japanese military was about 4 million.
You can easily know 400,000 comfort women is a myth.
There was no movement against comfort women in Korea during the war.
Korean gov't never mentioned about comfort women in the treaty of 1965 even though both Japan and Korea promised to renounced every right (including individuals')to claim about the fact in Japanese ruled era.
China never claimed about Comfort women when they executed the war criminals.
Only one comfort station was claimed by Holland.
Okada was executed for it.
However,Japan had banned forcible recruitments and Holland never claimed about the responsiblity of Japan.
U.S. official report for Comfort Women in 1944.
Report No. 49: Japanese Prisoners of War Interrogation on Prostitution: La Segunda Guerra Mundial
After the campaign of Asahi Shinbun,this issue broked up.
It is false accusation.
