[From “Imperial Japan”, section 'The rape of Nanjing']

From the outset, the war did not go well for the Japanese. Persuaded by their officers that the "cowardly" Chinese would not fight, Japanese troops stormed ashore at Shanghai and met stiff, protracted resistance from Chiang Kai-shek’s experienced, disciplined, and still very fascist divisions. Finally victorious after weeks of battle, the Japanese army was ready for more#
Today, we have numerous reliable pieces of evidence showing that the massacre did not actually occur.

Like the Holohoax, there is a Nanjing hoax. The numbers simply do not add up.

Just before the Japanese occupation, the population of the city was about 200,000. One month after the occupation, many Chinese citizens came back to Nanjing learning that peace had returned, and the population increased to about 250,000. Newspapers in those days had numerous photos of Chinese citizens who had come back to Nanjing and lived peacefully, buying, selling and smiling with Japanese soldiers.

The day when the Japanese troops entered Nanjing, more than 100 press reporters and photographers entered together with them. The press corps were not only from Japan, but also from European and American press organizations, including Reuters and AP. However, none of the press corps reported the occurrence of a massacre of 300,000 people. Paramount News (American newsreels) made films reporting the Japanese occupation in Nanjing, but did not report the occurrence of a massacre.

The British newspaper North China Daily News, which was published in China in English on December 24, 1937, eleven days after the Japanese occupation of Nanjing, carried a photo taken in Nanjing by their photographer. The photo was entitled “Japanese distribute gifts in Nanjing.” In the photo are Japanese soldiers distributing gifts, and Chinese adults and children receiving the gifts and rejoicing.

The Rape of Nanjing never happened, and is simply Communist propaganda that immediately falls apart apon inspection. The citizens of Nanjing actually saw the Japanese as liberators, and all of the evidence points to this.
