Explanation For Those Wondering: The Rape of Nanjing (or Nanking) is the most notable of Japan's many atrocities during the Second Sino-Japanese War (overlapping with WW2). Don't read up on the details unless you have a strong stomach. Suffice it to say, even by the low standards of wartime, the conduct of the Japanese Empire was beyond horrific, regardless of combatant status, sex, or age.
