According to testimony made by the former commander of defense corps of the Imperial Japanese Army, the Japanese imperialists forced the Koreans to dash into the U.S. tanks with explosives on their backs when the U.S. army was landing on Okinawa in 1945. Over 10,000 drafted Koreans were forced to fight against the U.S. army.

This brought to light another segment of the crimes the Japanese imperialists committed against the Korean people last century.

The "Okinawa murder case" was an atrocity committed by brutes without an equal to exterminate the Korean nation and the most hideous crime against humanity that can hardly be found in the history of the imperialists' aggression.

As already known to the world, tens of thousands of innocent people lost their lives during the U.S. army's landing on Okinawa.

Human scum of political circles including the emperor's family and the military used Koreans as "human shields" to save their dirty lives.

Not content with this, the Japanese imperialists, brutal vampire, forced the Koreans to carry explosives on their backs, pushing them to death.

There are anecdotes in history that slaves were forced to fight with swords and shields in battles. However, the world knows no such barbarians as the Japanese imperialists who offered Koreans "as sacrifice" in battles in a bid to prolong their remaining days in the wake of depriving the Korean nation of its national rights.

The Japanese imperialists, to avenge their defeat, exploded "Ukishima-maru" and buried at sea en masse the drafted Koreans who were working at a factory of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industry Company. This was a height of their moves to exterminate the Korean nation.

This clearly proves once again that Japan is the sworn enemy of Koreans with whom they can never live under the same sky.

What is more enraging is that the Japanese reactionaries are marking desperate efforts to bury their massacre into oblivion of history.

They have put all sorts of unreasonable pressure on a documentary film producer who disclosed the said fact and concealed the truth for two decades since the commander of the defense corps made the testimony.

The crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Japanese imperialists against Koreans are so tremendous that the Japanese reactionaries can hardly cover up their past blood-stained history.

Still resounding through mountains and rivers are the outcries made by those who were mercilessly killed in Japan, island country, at the hands of the Japanese imperialists.

With nothing can Japan hide its crime-woven past.

The Japanese government should honestly apologize for its past crimes and make reparations for them.

The army and people of the DPRK will certainly force Japan to pay thousand-fold prices for all damage it inflicted upon Koreans and the DPRK.
