Japanese Army – envoyed some secret mission to Germany via Siberia,starting from Tokyo on March 1, 1943.such operation stay leading byMajor General Okamoto, who had been Chief of the Second Bureau (Intelligence) at the time of the outbreak of the Pacific War.His staff consisted of Colonel Kotani,Navy officer Captain Onoda, and Mr.Yosano, Foreign Office Chancellor.Objectives of the mission were to investigate German ability to carry on the war; and to clarify Japan's real situation to the Germans. A third objective (concerning the arrangement of a separate peace between Germany and the Soviet Union) was eliminated just prior to the departure of the mission.The Okamoto Mission reported its findings in a cable dated July 5. Many reservations were attached to the report,which concluded that German national power was lower than had been foreseen by the mission before it left Japan. Germany would accordingly encounter many difficulties in emerging triumphant without first overcoming the critical problems which were fast approaching: Shortage of manpower, lowering of industrial war potential, insufficiency of liquid fuel, etc.
In october 15, 1943, IGHQ incorporated its Second Bureau's 16th Section (German and Italian Intelligence) into the 5th Section (U.S.S.R. intelligence). Just at time that the German Army was failing in its early summer offensive againstOrel.The Soviet Army, on the other hand, had seized theoperational initiative. The feeling of the Japanese ArmyHigh Command was therefore somewhat inclining to pessimism vis-a vis Germany. The Japanese Army committed a great error by placing excessive confidence in Germany.after the Allies had successfully established a Second Front in northern France(June 1944) and an attempt had soon afterwards been made to assassinate Hitler (von Stauffenberg plot, July 20,1944)-only then did the Japanese Army Intelligence Services and High Command eventually conclude that Germany possessed scant prospects for victory.
In the last days of WorldWar II, as the Japanese retreated from the Soviet army's advance into Japanese-occupied China, great care was taken by the Japanese army to destroy certain of their bases in dozens of Chinese cities.
The standard defence of Japanese politicians and military comma-nders, then and now, was that these atrocities were the result of the “rogue” Kwantung army, the “loose cannon” Japanese military force in “Manchuria”; (the three north-eastern provinces of China) which was occupied from 1931 to 1945.
The war ministry in Tokyo lavishly funded the unit and support came from the highest levels of the military establishment, the scientific community, the Japanese Diet (parliament) and the royal family.
Running prisoner of war and forced labor and special camps - they operated several 'human experimentation' units to which the kempeitai sent any 'difficult' prisoners which included over 3,500 Americans, Chinese, Europeans, Koreans and Russians sent to Unit 100 and Unit 731.
Originally Japanese volunteers were used but as these became rare or limited to the use of officers many Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese women were kidnapped and placed in these facilities to be "used" by members of Japan's military.
The Kempeitai also used criminals and outlaws as law enforcers with torture commonly used to extract confessions.The Japanese placed heavy emphasis on physical violence to maintain discipline with even the most minor infractions being dealt with immediately.
