Kempeitai team (Japanese)

Description

The Kempeitai were the Japanese military police from 1881-1945. However, due to their additional roles covering counter-intelligence, espionage and secret police activities, the Kempeitai were more akin to the NKVD or Gestapo than the Feldgendarmerie or Royal Military Police.

Charged with the organisation and running of the Japanese internment and POW camps, the Kempeitai’s reputation in WWII was one of cruelty and brutality as they enforced strict rules with summary executions and massacres against both their charges and civilians. They were also responsible for the procurement of human subjects for Unit 731 and the “comfort women”.
