SynopsisIn December 1937, in what was then the capital of China, one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarity occurred. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking and within weeks not only looted and burned the defenceless city, but systematically raped, tortured and murdered more than 300000 Chinese civilians.

    After what the Japs did to the Chinese...Im baffled that there is no hatred for the Japs after what they did...I knew a Lady from the Philippines,and she told me that the Japs while they occupied the Philippines..the soldiers used to throw the babies up in the air and catch them on their bayonets...
