CHINA JAPAN KRIEG 1937
Japanese troops that captured the then-Chinese capital of Nanjing in December,1937, cheer and wave their flag after they breached the city's historic walls to capture the city. What the Chinese call the Nanjing Massacre and others call the Rape of Nanjing, a rampage of murder and rape by Japanese soldiers against a defenseless city continued for three months, claiming at least 150,000 lives --or perhaps twice that number. It would become for Chinese an enduring symbol of the savagery of Japanese occupation. (KEYSTONE/AP Photo/STR) ======
