. If the Chinese do not have a non-propaganda-laced story, then I'm not interested. Otherwise, find me something so we can move on.
I think Wikipedia is a good neutral source. Lets start there, shall we?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_of_nanking
"The Nanking Massacre or Nanjing Massacre, also known as the Rape of Nanking, was a six-week period following the Japanese capture of the city of Nanjing (Nanking), the former capital of the Republic of China, on December 13, 1937. During this period, hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians and disarmed soldiers were murdered and 20,000–80,000 women were raped[1] by soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army."
Gee, seems pretty shitty, eh?
"The International Military Tribunal of the Far East estimates 260,000 casualties; China's official estimate is 300,000 casualties, based on the evaluation of the Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal. Japanese historians estimate a lower death toll, in the vicinity of 100,000–200,000.
Some claim the existence of only 40,000 deaths or even deny that a widespread, systematic massacre occurred at all, claiming that any deaths were either justified militarily, accidental or isolated incidents of unauthorized atrocities."
Reminds me of holocaust deniers.
"The International Military Tribunal for the Far East estimated that 20,000 women were raped, including infants and the elderly.[41] A large portion of these rapes were systematized in a process where soldiers would search door-to-door for young girls, with many women taken captive and gang raped.[42]
The women were often killed immediately after the rape, often through explicit mutilation[43] or by stabbing a bayonet, long stick of bamboo,[44] or other objects into the vagina."
Sounds like something humans do.
"There are also accounts of Japanese troops forcing families to commit acts of incest.[49] Sons were forced to rape their mothers, fathers were forced to rape daughters. One pregnant woman who was gang-raped by Japanese soldiers gave birth only a few hours later; although the baby appeared to be physically unharmed (Robert B. Edgerton, Warriors of the Rising Sun). Monks who had declared a life of celibacy were also forced to rape women."
More subhuman activities.
"Immediately after the fall of the city, Japanese troops embarked on a determined search for former soldiers, in which thousands of young men were captured. Many were taken to the Yangtze River, where they were machine-gunned. What was probably the single largest massacre of Chinese troops occurred along the banks of the Yangtze River on December 18 in what is called the Straw String Gorge Massacre. Japanese soldiers took most of the morning tying all of the POWs hands together and in the dusk divided them into 4 columns, and opened fire at them. Unable to escape, the POWs could only scream and thrash in desperation. It took an hour for the sounds of death to stop, and even longer for the Japanese to bayonet each individual. Most were dumped into the Yangtze. It is estimated that at least 57,500 Chinese POWs were killed."
"The Japanese troops gathered 1,300 Chinese soldiers and civilians at Taiping Gate and killed them. The victims were blown up with landmines,
then doused with petrol before being set on fire. Those that were left alive afterward were killed with bayonets."
I'll end it with a picture of the Japanese burying people alive.
