I've always believed the Pacific was worse. Brutal unforgiving landscape and conditions and disease. On top of that Japanese soldiers seemed to have a messianic love for the emperor. They were also trained from a young age to be merciless and sacrifice themselves in battle. You just didn't see that with German soldiers.

seemed? that it literal. He is a living god to them. I read on here recently someone referenced a documentary saying that it as pure genius that Truman Eisenhower and the top leaders in the US allowed the Emperor to remain because it we would have kill him we would still be in a "war" with Japan like we are with China and Russia.
