Question: Why do atrocities in WW2 majorly occur in asian theaters but not in europe!?
it's not hard to see slaughter,torture,kill,rape happened in asia during the period of WW2,but not europe
nazis had treated common civilians much better as long as they're not threat!.
nazis seldom commit terrible massacre against civilians
by terrible,i mean horrible atrocities,rape,kill,humiliate,torture
especially rape happened not that much
and european also tread POW with honor,at least they don't torture them
why!?what make this huge difference between asia and europe in time of war
is it because european soldiers are highly disciplined and have basis respect for citizens even from their opposite countries
if i get things wrong,please correct me

Your information is incorrect!.
The Nazi soldiers carried out terrible atrocities in Europe, destroying whole villages and everyone in them in some places!.
POWs were usually treated according to the Geneva Convention but the Nazis made an exception for Russian prisoners and many were starved to death or just shot!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
There are touches of correct information in your details, but there were also HORRIBLE atrocities against soldiers in Europe, not to mention a little thing called the Holocaust, in which millions were killed, and not JUST in the death camps and not JUST jews!. Of course, that was civilians!. But ask an old lady in Warsaw about the German occupation, and she'll tell you a lot of frightening tales!. Same with Germans who were in Berlin in April and May of 1945!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
It is hard to understand what you are asking because all the double negatives but Asians especially Japanese which invaded China in 1937 has a great value of honor, when America attacked Japan in the subways, rather than being captured the Japanese disemboweled themselves, they thought it was the ultimate honor to die in the most painful way than allow themselves to be captured!. I think you need to research it more!. Europe had a lot of atrocities too, anytime you are in DC check the holocaust museum manWww@QuestionHome@Com
read the first few chapters of a book call "Fly Boys" will give you some insight!.!.!.But basically it has to do with differnt cultures and attitudes of East and West!.!.!.and would also say that because of the high populations of China and Asia in General!.!.!.People would believe that Life tends has a lesser valueWww@QuestionHome@Com
Did you ever hear of the Nazi Concentration Camp where Hundreds of Thousands of Jews were Murdered!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
The Holocaust count!? Jesus!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I'm afraid you've got things wrong!.
Nazis treated "common civilians" extremely poorly on the whole!. Consider their actions against Polish and Soviet citizenry particularly, not to mention their attempts to eliminate disabled people, gypsies, homosexuals, political undesirables and of course jewish people!.
Nazis committed extensive massacres of citizens!. 6 million jews ring a bell!? They weren't soldiers you know!.
Nazis and allied troops (particularly, but not exclusively, soviet troops) raped, tortured and humiliated civilians!. Some soviet units for example appeared to make it a mission to rape every german female they could lay their hands on - regardless of age - as they made their way across East Prussia!.
POW's were treated reasonably between the western allies and nazis this is true!. The brutality demonstrated by the nazis against captured soviet troops was perhaps only bettered by the soviet response against captured germans, and ultimately against their own rescued POW's!.
I think maybe some basic reading of the european theatre of WW2 would help your understanding, though it's nice to see that you've noticed things happened outside Europe during this time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
