1946年12月参与研制美国原子弹的核物理科学家、

  麻省理工学院院长 Karl Taylor Compton 

  ( 1945年9月走访东京麦克阿瑟将军的美军司令部

  之后 ）撰文披露至死陶醉在日本军部大内宣的

  大和民族士兵是怎样在1945年2月19日 - 6月21日

  硫磺岛、冲绳岛两大战役战败之后，

  依然不忘初心 满满正能量地坚信不疑：

  那是我战无不胜的大日本皇军诱敌深入，

  以便把邪恶美军吸引到国土上全部歼灭！

We gained a vivid insight into the state of knowledge and

 morale of the ordinary Japanese soldier from a young

 private who had served through the war in the Japanese

 Army. He had lived since babyhood in America, and had

 graduated in 1940 from Massachusetts Institute of

 Technology. This lad, thoroughly American in outlook, 

had gone with his family to visit relatives shortly after his

 graduation. They were caught in the mobilization and he

 was drafted into the Army.

我们从一个在日本陆军战争中服役的年轻小伙子那里，深入了解

了普通日本士兵的知识和士气。他从婴儿时代起就生活在美国，

并于1940年毕业于麻省理工学院。这个小伙子的外观感觉完全

是个美国人，毕业后不久就和家人一起去探亲，结果他们被卷入

征兵动员中，他被征召入伍。

This young Japanese told us that all his fellow soldiers

 believed that Japan was winning the war. To them the

 losses of Iwo Jima and Okinawa were parts of a grand

 strategy to lure the American forces closer and closer to

 the homeland, until they could be pounced upon and

 utterly annihilated. He himself had come to have some

 doubts as a result of various inconsistencies in official

 reports. Also he had seen the Ford assembly line in

 operation and knew that Japan could not match America

 in war production. But none of the soldiers had any 

inkling of the true situation until one night, at ten-thirty,

 his regiment was called to hear the reading of the

 surrender proclamation.

这个年轻的日本人告诉我们，他所有的同胞都认为日本正在赢得

战争。对他们来说，硫磺岛和冲绳的损失是诱使美军越来越接近

祖国的大战略的一部分，直到它们被猛烈袭击并彻底歼灭。由于

官方报告中的各种不一致，他本人也对此产生了怀疑。他还看到

了福特的装配生产线，并且知道日本在战争生产方面无法与美国

匹敌。但是直到那一夜十点三十分聆听天皇宣告投降之前，没有

一个士兵知道战争真实的情况。
