This harrowing historical footage documents the 1937 Japanese occupation of Nanjing (Nanking), China, and the atrocities committed by the Imperial Army. The six-week-long massacre, known as the Rape of Nanking, resulted in the deaths of 300,000 civilians and surrendered Chinese soldiers. The film captures scenes of civilian victims—men, women, and children—alongside title cards describing their brutal wounds. Additional footage shows Japanese soldiers marching into the city, patrolling its devastated streets, and entering amidst a snowstorm with tanks. Other scenes highlight the desperate plight of Chinese refugees, the efforts of the International Relief Committee, and the destruction left in the wake of the invasion. A powerful and essential historical record of one of the darkest chapters of the Second Sino-Japanese War.
