MEET THE GUMBATSU YOU'LL LEARN SOMETHING If you think Germany's tough, take a good look at Japan. Gumbatsu. They are the SS, the Gestapo all over again. the acceptance of their fanatical rule has been far more deeply ingrained in their 70-odd million slaves. The Gumbatsu is an unholy alliance of high-ranking officers, industrialists, wealthy land holders and members of the Imperial Household. It controls Japan absolutely. Diabolically clever and ruthless, it has managed to get control of 400 million other nearly a quarter of the earth's population. The Gumbatsu has taught its slaves well. The Japanese soldier would far rather die than submit to capture. Death is in his own mind, his passport to Heaven. The Gumbatsu is an unholy alliance of high-ranking diers, industrialists, wealthy land holders and members of the Imperial Household. It controls Japan absolutely.

The Japanese soldier would far rather die than submit to capture. Death is, in his own mind, his passport to Heaven. If he were lying on the battlefield badly wounded, an soldier in strange uniform offered him water, he would kill his last ounce of strength to kill the stranger. He would then be dying for an allegiance the Gumbatsu taught him. The American soldier would likewise have died because of the Gumbatsu. It's a Tough Road To ROY N.
