  • THE BATTLE of HONG KONG Belligerents
    THE BATTLE OF HONG KONG DATE: DECEMBER 08 – DECEMBER 25 1941 Belligerents Japan United Kingdom Hong Kong India Canada China Free French The Battle of Hong Kong was fought between December 8 - 25, 1941. As the Second Sino-Japanese War raged between China and Japan during the late 1930s, Great Britain was forced to examine its plans for the defense of Hong Kong. In studying the situation, it was quickly found that the colony would be difficult to hold in the face of a determined Japanese attack. Despite this conclusion, work continued on a new defensive line extending from Gin Drinkers Bay to Port Shelter. Begun in 1936, this set of fortifications was modeled on the French Maginot Line and took two years to complete. Centered on the Shin Mun Redoubt, the line was a system of strong points connected by paths. In 1940, with World War II consuming Europe, the government in London began reducing the size of the Hong Kong garrison to free troops for use elsewhere. Following his appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the British Far East Command, Air Chief Marshal Sir Robert Brooke-Popham requested reinforcements for Hong Kong as he believed even a marginal increase in the garrison could significantly slow down the Japanese in the case of war. Though not believing that the colony could be held indefinitely, a protracted defense would buy time for the British elsewhere in the Pacific. FINAL PREPARATIONS In 1941, Prime Minister Winston Churchill agreed to dispatch reinforcements to the Far East. In doing so, he accepted an offer from Canada to send two battalions and a brigade headquarters to Hong Kong.

Introduction Alongside the trial of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (‘IMTFE’) held in Tokyo against Class A war criminals, the national trials involving Class B and C Japanese war criminals were conducted in the territory of states with which Japan had been at war, including China, Korea, the Philippine and others. In 1946 the Nationalist government of the Republic of China (‘ROC’) held the trials of Japanese war criminals in ten cities. The ROC trials sentenced 145 Japanese war criminals to death and 300 to limited or lifetime imprisonment.

  • Imperial Forces Reap Glowing Results
    [Japanese announcement about the attack at Pearl Harbor] [Japan], 1941 Printed document, 2 pages [Translation] IMPERIAL FORCES REAP GLOWING RESULTS What an uproar! Japan’s Imperial Forces got things off to a quick start with one splendid strike then another in historic surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor, where the bravado of the US Asia fleet met with sudden defeat, and off the Malaya Coast, where the main forces of the British Asia fleet were utterly annihilated. Word has it that Roosevelt and Churchill were shaken up and went pale upon hearing of the defeats. In a third strike, Hong Kong Island, England’s strategic base for its 100-year exploitation of East Asia, fell into ruin in only a matter of ten days. During this time, Churchill was sent reeling, cutting off contact with others and showing up in Washington. What these two headstrong countries are striving for will only lead them on a downhill path to military defeat. Our barbaric enemies are already cowering in fear in the Pacific, and the fall of Manila shall mark the day of the Philippines’ subjugation and reversion back to Greater East Asia. The enemy power of Singapore, which was —alas — boasting of its impenetrable stronghold before the Imperial Forces penetrated the jungle area of the Malay Peninsula and advanced southward like a raging tide, shall also vanish into nothingness in the midst of this glorious chapter in history. The military gains of the glorious Imperial Forces are truly great, and the army, navy, and air force should be given our heartfelt gratitude.

All rights are reserved. 27 ______ The 1956 Japanese War Crimes Trials in China LING Yan* 27.1. Introduction It is well known that after the Second World War, Class A Japanese war criminals were prosecuted before the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (‘IMTFE’). Parallel to the Tokyo Trials, Class B and C Japanese war crimes cases were also tried by national military courts set up by the Allies at different locations such as Manila, Singapore, Saigon, Khabarovsk, Rabaul, Hong Kong and Batavia. 1 More than 2,000 war crimes suspects were detained for that purpose in China. By the end of the trials in April 1949, the Chinese military courts at 10 locations – Nanjing, Shanghai, Peking, Hankou, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Xuzhou, Jinan, Taiyuan and Taipei2 – had sentenced 145 convicts to death, more than 300 others to imprisonment and acquitted the rest before repatriating them to Japan.3 Due to the breakout of civil war in China soon after the Second World War – that led to a change of government in 1949 – judicial documents such as case files, transcripts and judgments of some war crimes trials went missing or were nowhere to be found.

  • Symbols in the Chinese Communist Base Areas During the Anti-Japanese War and Civil War Period — the National Flag and Portraits of Leaders —
    SUMMARY Symbols in the Chinese Communist Base Areas during the Anti-Japanese War and Civil War Period — The National Flag and Portraits of Leaders — Takashi MARUTA This essay examines the manipulation of symbols in the Chinese Communist base areas dur- ing the Anti-Japanese War and Civil War period. It concentrates on the relationship between the National United Front and the state, and examines how folk customs were used to carry the party message into rural areas. During the early part of the Anti-Japanese War, in the Shan-Gan-Ning border region the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) sought to explain the new relation between state and party, and the introduction of the new fl ag of the Nationalist Government was delayed. Instead, the CCP adopted a pattern that symbolized the Second United Front between the Chinese Na- tionalist Party (CNP) and the CCP by the respective party fl ags and portraits of Jiang Jieshi and Mao Zedong. During the Anti-Japanese War and Civil War period, the national fl ag was actively used as an important symbol that signifi ed the legitimacy of the political power of the Chinese Communist base areas within the framework of the Republic of China and the United Front. After relations between the Nationalists and Communists deteriorated, the national fl ag was also used to symbolize the political power of the CCP as the legitimate party of republi- can China. However, the institutionalization of the use of the national fl ag and its penetration to the grass roots were limited, because the fl ag was also the symbol of the ‘party state’.

Written by a pro-Japanese writer Lu Mengshu, it is generally seen as a propagandistic work. Few scholarly studies have looked at its publication history and political ambiguities. The publisher, Overseas Chinese Daily News (Huaqiao ribao), went to great lengths to make this book project possible. Not only did it overcome the technical challenges, but it also resisted political intervention from the all-powerful propaganda organ. Meanwhile, the content of the book drastically differs from the rosy pictures promulgated by the government mouthpieces. Some stories demonstrate a nostalgia for Western culture, while others contain revolutionary overtones. What were the publisher’s motives to invest in this seemingly unprofitable project? What are the textual peculiarities that deviate from conventional propaganda? How did pro-government writers like Lu Mengshu, and others like Ye Lingfeng and Chen Junbao, channel their wartime experience through rain imagery and v symbolism? These are some questions that I seek to answer in this study.

  • Law Reports of Trial of War Criminals, Volume XIV, English Edition
    LAW REPORTS OF TRIALS OF WAR CRIMINALS Selected and prepared 6y THE UNITED NATIONS WAR CRIMES COMMISSION VOLUME XIV LONDON PUBLISHED FOR THE UNITED NATIONS WAR CRIMES COMMISSION BY HIS MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1949 Price 55. Od. net LAW REPORTS OF TRIALS 1 OF WAR CRIMINALS SELECTED AND PREPARED BY THE UNITED NATIONS WAR CRIMES COMMISSION One of the aims of this series of Reports is to relate in summary form the course of the most important of the proceedings taken against persons accused ofcommitting war crimes during the Second World War, apart from the major war criminals tried by the Nuremberg and Tokyo International Military Tribunals, but including those tried by United States Military Tribunals at Nuremberg. Of necessity, the trials reported in these volumes are examples only, since the trials conducted before the various Allied Courts of which the Commission has had records number over 1,600. The trials selected for reporting, however, are those which are thought to be of the greatest interest legally and in which important points of municipal and international law arose and were settled. Each report, however, contains not only the outline of the proceedings in the trial under review, but also, in a separate section headed" Notes on the Case ", such comments of an explanatory nature on the" legal matters arising in that trial as it has been thought useful to include. These notes provide also, at suitable points, general summaries and analyses of the decisions of the courts on specific points of law derived primarily from a study of relevant trials already reported upon in the series.
