美国驻德国大使听到日本驻德国大使“吹牛”，说50万从上海杀到南京
The casualty count of 300,000 was first promulgated in January 1938 by
Harold Timperley, a journalist in China during the Japanese invasion, based
on reports from contemporary eyewitnesses.[2]
Other sources, including Iris Chang's The Rape of Nanking, also conclude
that the death toll reached 300,000.
In December 2007, newly declassified U.S. government archive documents
revealed that a telegraph by the U.S. ambassador to Germany in Berlin sent
one day after the Japanese army occupied Nanking, stated that he heard the
Japanese Ambassador in Germany boasting that Japanese army killed 500,000
Chinese people as the Japanese army advanced from Shanghai to Nanking.
According to the archives research "The telegrams sent by the U.S. diplomats
[in Berlin] pointed to the massacre of an estimated half a million people
in Shanghai, Suzhou, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Wuxi and Changzhou".[98][

In the 2010 Japan-China Joint History Research Committee meeting, scholars
from the Japanese side set the maximum possible number of civilian victims
at 200,000, with estimates of around 40,000 or 20,000. The Chinese scholars
of the committee maintained that at least 300,000 were killed.[100] |
