EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_invasion_of_Sakhalin The Japanese occupied Sakhalin with minimal effort and low losses. The Russians suffered 181 dead and had 3,270 taken prisoner. The reasons for the low Russian resistance lay in the low morale of the soldiers, who were mostly prisoners and deportees with little or no military training. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NaoPb@beehaw.org 2 points 3 years ago This sounds like the start of a Death Wish movie. permalink fedilink source parent
