Questions about the Nanjing incident

1. The Tokyo Tribunal and the Nanjing Military Tribunal were held at the same time, but 300,000 people were killed in the Nanjing Military Tribunal.In the Tokyo trial, there were more than 100,000 people who did not reach 200,000 people, but I wonder if the evidence was shared.What is the error between 100,000 and 200,000?

2.John Labe, a German who stood on the stand at the Tokyo trial, testified that 50,000 people were slaughtered. Where did this figure come from?How many 50,000 people have fled alone?Even if there are no obstacles at all, it will be hard work.If you have time to answer questions 1 and 2, try searching for and counting images of Michigan Stadium (107,601 seating capacity) .

3. More than 100 air strikes have been carried out against civilians, with 100,000 deaths per air raid.The first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima killed 80,000 people and Nagasaki killed 60,000 people.At that time, there was a Japanese army in Nanjing that had more destructive power than the #ylow #atom bomb.This is definitely the strongest army in the world.Then why did Japan lose the war?

4.Let's see how we can kill 300,000 people.Direct artillery and grenades such as tanks and cannons will not be effective for people fleeing in all directions.Then why don't you lock civilians in buildings that you can't escape?So I remember Auschwitz, the largest Jewish camp in the Nazis.However, the maximum capacity is only 20,000 people, so would it be possible to make more than 10 in three days?But how should civilians be taken there?

5.Reverend Maggie, an American who stood on the witness stand at the Tokyo trial, complained of slaughter, but when asked how many he actually saw, he found 1 murder, 1 rape and 1 theft.100,000 → 200,000 → 300,000 people were killed, and where was he?

6.When the Japanese army arrived in Nanjing, the Kuomintang commander left the army behind and panicked, dressed in casual clothes and dressed as civilians, fled to their homes to continue fighting.How should soldiers and civilians be distinguished?For good soldiers who continue to fight with civilians as shields.

7.The Nanjing Safety Zone records that most of the Nanjing citizens have evacuated to the Nanjing Safety Zone (non-combat zones under international law).And The Japanese military did not attack the Nanjing Safe Zone.The Nanjing Safe Zone testified, but who did the Japanese army kill?

8. John Rabe wrote in his later Rabe diary that he witnessed the killing of civilians by the Japanese army with Mosel guns.Mr. Rabe, please check one thing.At that time, there was no Moselle gun in Japan.This is a Chinese gun. And the Moselle gun is your motherland.Isn't it manufactured in Germany?

9.Rabe's diary says that the body of a woman with bamboo stuck in her genital organs is scattered everywhere.In Japan, there are cases of rape and murder of women, but there is no custom of stabbing bamboo in the genital organs.What country's custom is this?And whose work is it?

10.Before marching to Nanjing, there was a big battle in Shanghai.Defeated Chinese troops carried out scorched soil operations.It is a withdrawal that sets fire to the streets, robs money and goods, rapes, and leaves nothing to be gained even if enemy soldiers occupy it.At the same time, soldiers can get spoils even though they are defeated.It was an operation carried out by the Qing army, which fought and fled to the Korean Peninsula during the Gapsin Incident.

11. Nanjing Safety Zone was also a place to grasp the population of Nanjing.War refugees and others kept resident records to evacuate to the Nanjing Safe Zone and immigrate.The population recorded just before the Japanese attack on Nanjing was 200,000 .The Japanese military seems to have killed civilians over the population.

12. China's first unified family register management began in 1958 with the Doorway Registration Ordinance.Until then, China's population had accumulated only what it had recorded in its own way in the administrative divisions of the region, but there was no unified management was carried out.What kind of resident records did the Nanjing Military Court adopt?

13. Fifty-nine thousand people died in the Great East Japan Earthquake. How can you figure out the number of deaths?This is common in other large-scale disasters.It's not a foolish way to count dead bodies or adopt rumors.The number of deaths + missing + number of survivors = the current number of residents will be deducted from the increase in the number of new residents due to migration.Then, when the number of missing people is confirmed to be dead, it moves on to the number of deaths.Counting the number of victims of the earthquake with the naked eye?It's impossible.

14. The Nanjing Safe Zone record increased to 250,000 people in January of the following month.The number of civilians over the population has increased by 50,000 in a month.What kind of magic did the Japanese Army use?
