Good historical content, but I have a question:

Shouldn't the title read "Real Time - 70 years" instead of "Real Time + 70 years"?

As in real time is "right now", 2008, and if we wanted to "go back" to 1938 we'd need to "subtract" real time, as in "minus", or "-"?

Conversely, if we were to add time (+) to "right now", 2008, we'd find ourselves in 2078, in the middle of a robot war with terminators and stuff.

Just to add to this...

On June 6th the capital of the Henan province, Kaifeng, fell to the Japanese. This put Zhengzhou in jeopardy which was a major rail hub linking Wuhan and Xi’an.

" “To carry out its imperialistic rule,” Kokumin continues, “Britain conducted indiscriminate aerial bombardments in Arabian regions, in the interior of India, etc., for many months.”

The newspaper then asks why the same action in China should suddenly be regarded as inhumane."

From this article it appears the Japanese did not consider the bombing of civilians to be inhumane.

No doubt that would include the bombing of Japan's own civilians, right?
