According to recently released U.S. archives, the Japanese are said to have massacred more than 500,000 Chinese BEFORE entering Nanjing and killing 300,000 more.
A telegram from then US ambassador to Germany reads -
Today the news from the Far East is worse than ever and I have read yours and Secretary Hull's statement as to Japanese brutality. The Japanese Ambassador here boasted a day or two ago of his country's having killed 500,000 Chinese people.
A researcher of the State Archives Administration of China -
"The new evidence, given by a Japanese official and a third party, prove slaughters took place along the way of the Japanese from Shanghai to Nanjing. The Nanjing Massacre was not the beginning."
Japanese killed more Chinese one by one than Japan lost in both Nuclear bomb
droppings.
In fact if these numbers prove to be accurate, the Japanese killed four times as many Chinese (800,000) one-by-one as Japan lost in the two bombs combined - about 200,000.
