Nanjing Massacre Historical Materials Collection 33: Memories of Japanese Officers and Soldiers

"Collection of Historical Materials on the Nanjing Massacre (Memories of Japanese Officers and Soldiers on the 33rd) (Essential)" mainly focuses on the memories of Japanese officers and soldiers, so it is named "Memories of Japanese Officers and Soldiers". Other historical materials are included in this volume in the form of "appendices". Since these memoirs were written more than ten years or decades later, there are inevitably errors in memory, such as time, location, unit number, etc. In addition, some authors, from their own standpoints and viewpoints, have some vague understanding or wrong views on the historical facts of the Nanjing Massacre, and readers should identify this when making reference. During the translation and editing process, in order to be faithful to the original text, all historical materials have not been modified to maintain their original appearance. Obvious errors in historical materials, such as names of people and places, were corrected during translation; for some content whose original meaning was unclear, the original text was kept and explained in the form of annotations. Some content that has nothing to do with the topic will be omitted and marked with words such as "omitted", "front omitted", "middle omitted" and "bottom omitted".
