Editor's Note:
The expression "comforting wives" is referring to the Japanese army's "comfort battalions" during World War II. These "battalions" consisted of women from regions occupied by Japan and who were forced to serve in Japanese army brothels. Neither apologies nor compensations for these women, who essentially came from Korea, China and South East Asia, have ever been granted by post-war Japanese governments. The actual revival of that subject by South Korea might be due to increasing tensions between South Korea and Japan in the frame of an island dispute between both countries. However, the Korean race has always been seen by proud Japanese nationalists as a minor race that only recently succeeded in ranking equal with their former colonial power when South Korea's economy began to boom while Japan's economy declined.

Colin Ross was a well-known traveler and pro-Nazi book author on geopolitical subjects at that time. He enjoyed high-ranking support in, both, Germany and Japan.
