🌊 1,000 Japanese Civilians Jumped Off Cliffs With Families Not Surrendering to Americans 😱💔

Описание: June 1945, Battle of Okinawa nearing end and Americans capturing northern island where Japanese propaganda convinced civilians that enemies are barbarians who torture rape eat prisoners. Thousands of Japanese families fled to Mabuni and Maredzane cliffs 100 feet high above ocean where American soldiers tried stopping them with loudspeakers promising safety. But mothers holding infants jumped with entire families fathers pushed children down then threw themselves shattering on rocks below turning water into red foam. Americans watched in horror as hundreds of bodies fell hour after hour soldiers cried trying to catch children but couldn't stop mass madness. Over 1,000 civilians committed suicide on cliffs later named Suicide Cliffs. Survivors told they believed propaganda about American atrocities more than own eyes seeing soldiers begging not to jump. War ended two months later but cliffs remained monument to fear defeating reason.
