WW2 didn’t help, but the influence is older. In the Meiji period government send diplomatic missions to observe various countries in the world and they usually were coming back in awe with the Germany, and since then there is a crapton of german influences in culture and law, which got hidden under the heap of american popshit after WW2 but they are still there and surface every now and then.
*fascist flag.
Pretty much on par. The war crimes that Japan committed easily put them on the same tier.
Japan was more then a fascist state. They embodied Nazism to an exact T.
i honestly wonder why japanese pop-culture still includes germanic things in them 🤔

There’s also artifacts of this in the language such as the word for a part-time job (arubaito)

I am still low-key traumatized after what I read about unit 731
Don’t look into Mengle and other Nazi experiments. It’s deranged. A lot of it is similar to 731 and it’s revolting.
They were on par. There is no war crimes Olympics. They committed horrific crimes against humanity with untold suffering.
For real, and that’s certainly a high bar to surpass.
