You're also neglecting the 12,000,000 sent to labor camps. You know how a labor camp works, right? You work until you die.

More than 14 million people passed through the Gulag from 1929 to 1953, with a further 6 to 7 million being deported and exiled to remote areas of the USSR.[9] According to a 1993 study of incomplete archival Soviet data, a total of 1,053,829 people died in the Gulag from 1934 to 1953.[6] More complete data puts the death toll for this same time period at 1,258,537, with an estimated 1.6 million casualties from 1929 to 1953.

Also for those with very strong stomachs, something I learned few months ago, and is widely unknown, probably because of very shameful involvement of US at the end of the war. If it is even half-true Japanese even more than rivaled german death camp practices in cruelty if not in german mechanical efficiency.

NSFW and very disturbing dramatization, definitely at least partially supported by sources:

They didn't crucify babies, but the propaganda said they did that and more, and bayoneted babies, etc.

I love watching/reading about propaganda from earlier decades, if you think the media portrays Islam in a negative light, it's nothing compared to the extreme stuff that was said years ago.

Well not only that, but propaganda and American "intelligence" on Japanese behavior lead to the internment camps in the states. Why were there no internment camps for German-Americans or Italian-Americans?

The population of alien Germans in the United States – not to mention American citizens of German birth – was far too large for a general policy of internment comparable to that used in the case of the Japanese in America.[8] Instead, Germans and German Americans in the U.S. were detained and evicted from coastal areas on an individual basis. The War Department considered mass expulsions from coastal areas for reasons of military security, but never executed such plans.[9]

Italian Americans who were evacuated and interned under the War Relocation Authority. This authority was based on Executive Order 9066 (issued February 19, 1942) and Executive Order 9102 (issued March 18, 1942). These orders authorized the "removal from designated areas of persons whose removal is necessary in the interests of national security."[5] That authority did not distinguish between native-born Americans and citizens of other nations living in the United States; the orders simply said "persons." This was the same basis upon which Japanese Americans were interned, an effort much larger in scale than Italian American internment. Indeed, both foreign-born and native-born Japanese Americans and both citizens and non-citizens were interned, though the majority (about 60 percent) were in fact native-born U.S. citizens.[6][7][8] Italian Americans interned under the War Relocation Authority were not arrested under the Enemy Alien Act, but were simply "persons" removed under the War Relocation Authority.

Alright, I've never heard of this before, but according to the wiki, only 11,000 German Americans were detained, which is about 10% the number of Japanese Americans detained according to the wiki.

Unit 731 is only unknown if you haven't studied the Japanese occupation of China.

If you've ever wondered why Chinese people still don't like Japan, it's because Japan really hasn't owned up to some pretty serious shit.

I'd have to imagine it's a lot more to do with the fact that Japan demonstrated the ability and willingness to go out into the ocean, attack American assets in what seemed to be a push towards the mainland. For a while, it was believed that Japan would be invading the west. Besides a few u-boats causing trouble in the Atlantic, Germany never really made any moves to head towards American mainland, or give the impression that it was.

If the Germans took up shop in Cuba, Bermuda or struck up a friendship with Mexico, it might be a different story.
