A Piece of Hitory which Humanity should be ever Vigilant of


Two Japanese officers, Toshiaki Mukai and Tsuyoshi Noda competing to see who could kill (with a sword) one hundred Chinese first. The bold headline reads, "'Incredible Record' (in the Contest to) Cut Down 100 People—Mukai 106 – 105 Noda—Both 2nd Lieutenants Go Into Extra Innings".

Source: This news was originally reported by the Tokyo Nichi Nichi Shimbun 东京日日新闻in December 13, 1937. Both soldiers were extradited to China after the war, tried for their actions ("crime against humanity") in Chinese court, and were executed on January 28, 1948.
