China: Rape of Nanking - Japanese soldier with drawn sword and head in hand smiling amid the corpses.

The Rape of Nanking: 'Today, we did it again. We pushed innocent Chinese down and beat them up. When they were half dead, we pushed them into ditches and burned them, torturing them to death. Everyone gets his entertainment this way to get rid of the boredom. If this had happened in Japan, it would be an enormous incident. But here it’s like killing dogs and cats'. – An excerpt from a Japanese soldier’s diary
