The documentary film gNankingh (Director: Shigeru Shirai, Producer: Toho Movie K.K.) was created in 1938 with the cooperation of now-defunct Japanese Army Ministry. Since Nanking in 1937 was the capital city of the Chinese Nationalist Government, many newspaper reporters and camera crews of various movie producers entered the city along with General Matsuifs Central China Forces. This movie film was thought to be lost during the fire-raid of American bombers until 1989, when one copy was discovered in Beijing. Now we can watch the movie by DVD and Youtube. Click the left image (the cover of the DVD) to watch the movie. The author had put English caption in accordance with the narration and some remarks as follows. |

This scene appears immediately after the Japanese Armyfs advance into the city. Two Chinese men stand close to the Japanese soldiers sitting idly behind. The white box one Japanese soldier has on his lap should be cremated bones of his fallen comrade. Despite the testimony of John Magee, who appeared in the Tokyo Tribunal after WWII and said, gThe killing began immediately in several ways,h you may surmise that the soldiers did not attack people in mindless killing-spree and the life in Nanking seems to be rather peaceful.

Same as above. |

The Japanese soldiers in Army uniforms issue the certificates to the citizens. If the mass killings of 300,000 people actually took place, how is it possible that these Chinese locals gathered in a row to receive papers from the Japanese soldiers in Army uniforms? |

This is the standard army uniform. Compare this winter situation with the photo used in the gRape of Nankingh by Iris Chang. The man beheading the victim wears a short-sleeve shirt. Since all Japanese Army vacated and left Nanking by early February, 1938, except for a small unit for the aid of the newly established government, the photo below must be a fake.

The citizens of Nanking gathering around the traditional old building in order to celebrate the establishment of the Nanking Autonomous Government. If the mass-killings actually took place, how is it possible to see these people gather in one place waving hinomaru flags? |

Japanese soldiers recuperated at the army field hospital go back to their duty. Note the discipline they show while marching. Disgracing these brave army soldiers by calling them cruel mass-murderers is a shameful act of lie only the despicable Chinese Communist Party leaders, who had gunned down un-armed young students at the Tienanmen Square in 1989, can think of. |
