...during the Japanese invasion: Film I found this on SnagFims, a documentary, as told through various actors and actresses, about how 15 Westerners in Nanking established a Safety Zone, shielding many Chinese from death. It was truly a grim and gruesome event showing how cruel the Japanese were during that period in time. The citizens of China had no way to protect themselves. The amount of firearms in the hands of our citizens at the time was one of the deciding factors not to invade our country by the Japanese. A long film, but filled with actual scenes, showing the brutal atrocities the Japanese Army did to the people in Nanking. Perhaps not the usual CFB Forum fare, but worth a watch to learn how horrible that event was. The link to Snag Films and Nanking: www.snagfilms.com/films/title/nanking

I have a book my grandma gave me when I was a kid...Collier's Photographic History of World War II...Copyright 1944. The last section of the book is under the heading of D-Day, with the last dated picture July 5, 1944. The section concerning Japanese atrocities in China is three pages long, and mostly centered upon Shanghai & Hong Kong with the British retreat from the area. Racism? A bit, I think...but war is hell, and back then especially, an oriental person was not welcome. I do remember reading about some of all that in our encyclopedia, and the Rape of Nanking did get some attention then, but even now, the Japs still try to pretty much deny that the 'incident' was "THAT BAD."

LOL...that and not having enough ships in all of Japan to get a force that would have been needed to the mainland, let alone resupply it.
