Speaking of the Nanjing Massacre, thousands of Chinese civilians were saved due to the efforts of Nazi German diplomat John Rabe.

How’s that for an interesting twist?

I have read about the Nanjing Safety Zone. IIRC, 200,000 saved by Rabe’s efforts.

Speaking of the Nanjing Massacre, thousands of Chinese civilians were saved due to the efforts of Nazi German diplomat John Rabe.

What an interesting story; I have never heard this before.

I don't put much stock in Wikipedia but based on the dates, it appears that he had been in China before the Nazis took power in Germany; he may have joined the Nazi party simply for professional (and not, ideological) reasons.

The Nazi's had nothing against the Chinese. I mean they were obviously an inferior breed but would make fine servants.

The Empire of Japan had nothing against the Jews. I mean they were obviously an inferior breed but would make fine servants.

And a Japanese diplomat, stationed in the Baltics, Chiune Sugihara, wrote visss that allowed thousands of Jews to escape the Nazis. Many made it all the way to Shanghai, where they developed a flourishing community for a few years.
