War is always pretty brutal no matter how you spin it - it's just that the victor tends to spin it his way. That article is a good example of this, although there are a lot of others from that era. As best I can tell, the only one of the major combatants (Germany, Russia, UK, Japan, USA) that didn't rack up a laundry list of human rights violations and war crimes were the British. Certainly, they did some things that weren't what anyone would call admirable (bombing residential areas without especially good reasons), but I'd say they stopped short of commiting the more gruesome types of things - the sort depicted in that article.
