南京陥落直後の映像です。むしろ陥落前の混乱の痕跡が無残にみえる。

This Film was taken on 14 Dec 1937 to Jan 1938. It was recorded on data.　Just Chinese Goverment is saying between "The Rape of Nanking" time and dates. But We never saw "The Rape of Nanking" on this filme.

@@ichiromatsuo : The Japanese were not so stupid as to include proof of all their war crimes in every newsreel. But it seems like you expect that they would be so stupid. This makes you both anti-Chinese and anti-Japanese.
