| Photo released on Aug. 29, 2015 by the State Archives Administration of China on its website shows the Chinese version of an excerpt from Japanese war criminal Masao Kanazawa's handwritten confession. The nineteenth in a series of 31 handwritten confessions from Japanese war criminals published online, the confession features Masao Kanazawa, who joined the Japanese War of Aggression against China in 1943, and was captured in August 1945. Masao Kanazawa was stationed in Shandong Province from 1943 until his capture in August 1945. He brutally killed Chinese citizens through fiendish methods of torture. Masao Kanazawa force-fed an arrested peasant a large amount of water. When the peasant's belly was bulging, he stepped on it. The peasant lost consciousness and was dead within an hour. In May 1945, Kanazawa gave instructions to capture a man aged around 50 in Mengyin County. He forced the man to step on land mines, which seriously wounded the captive. Kanazawa then covered him in burning hay and burned him to death, he confessed. His war crimes were not limited to torture and murder. Kanazawa admitted to gang-raping a Chinese woman along with three companions, and to sexually assaulting another woman. (Xinhua) |
