Episode 25 – Jenny Chan: Inside Imperial Japan’s Darkest Secret
<p>On Episode 25 we welcome back our friend Jenny Chan for her second round here in the show. Jenny is the co-founder of Pacific Atrocities Education, a nonprofit she helped establish in 2014 to research and preserve WWII history in the Pacific. Growing up in the United States, Jenny became interested in this work after hearing her grandmother’s experiences living under Japanese occupation in Hong Kong, stories that were largely absent from what she learned in school.</p><p>Through Pacific Atrocities Education, she and her team have worked to recover survivor testimonies and digitize over a million fragile war crimes documents from the U.S. National Archives. With extensive expertise on Unit 731, Jenny has dedicated years to researching Japanese wartime atrocities and preserving historical evidence that is very often forgotten. </p><p>In this episode, we focus entirely on Unit 731, examining its origins, operations, human experimentation, the evidence left behind, and how complicated the after war was.</p><p>Learn more about the Pacific Atrocities Education:</p><p><a href="https://www.pacificatrocities.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.pacificatrocities.org/</a></p><p>Follow on instagram:</p><p>- @pacificatrocities.edu</p><p>- @samuel.dekorte</p><p>- @worldwarii_daily</p>

Episode 24 - Dr. Bastiaan Willems: author of the book “Violence in Defeat: The Wehrmacht on German Soil, 1944–1945"
<p>Episode 24 brings you a conversation that challenges conventional narratives about the final phase of the Second World War.</p><p>In this episode, we’re joined by Bastiaan Willems, a researcher of modern European history whose work examines the conduct of the German army as the war turned decisively against them. Drawing from his book Violence in Defeat, Willems shifts the lens away from the widely studied brutality of the Eastern Front and redirects it inward, into Germany itself during its final collapse.</p><p>We explore how years of exposure to extreme violence shaped a “barbarized” mindset within the Wehrmacht, one that did not remain confined to distant battlefields. As German forces retreated, these patterns of behavior followed them home, contributing to a surge of violence within Germany in 1944–45. The episode examines how the boundaries between front line and home front eroded, how civilians became entangled in the logic of total war, and how these dynamics influenced the chaotic disintegration of the Third Reich.</p><p>This discussion offers a deeper understanding of how war transforms not only outcomes, but societies and how its consequences can reverberate far beyond the battlefield.</p><p>— Check out Bastiaan Willems’ book here: https://www.amazon.com.br/Violence-Defeat-Wehrmacht-1944-1945-Cambridge-ebook/dp/B08TRL3BHJ</p><p>Follow and stay connected: Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/worldwarii_daily/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@worldwarii_daily</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/samuel.dekorte/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@samuel.dekorte</a></p><p></p>
