This article, “Pacific Theatre Part 14: Ichi-Go, Hong Kong, Dutch East Indies” by Lestrade (aka Unpopular Opinion), argues that historical accounts of the Pacific War in China, Hong Kong, and the Dutch East Indies are largely fabricated. The author dismisses Operation Ichi-Go as a “mirage,” questioning the casualty figures and the existence of alleged American airbases. The article criticizes the reliance on questionable sources, such as Japanese newspapers and General Joseph Stilwell’s reports, to support these narratives. It highlights the lack of photographic evidence and the implausibility of battle accounts. The author also scrutinizes the Battle of Hong Kong, arguing that the provided images are montages and that the strategic explanations for its fall are illogical. Similarly, the Dutch East Indies Campaign is portrayed as a fabricated event, with the author questioning casualty numbers and the motives behind the lack of Allied retaking efforts. The article concludes by suggesting that these narratives are part of a larger deception, possibly originating from Langley’s writing rooms.
