（单词翻译:单击）

In September 1946, a U.S. priest John Magee testified before the International Military Tribunal for the Far East against the crimes Japan committed during the Nanjing Massacre¹. He also brought films and pictures he took during the massacre.

Procurator asked: "What is your name?"

"John Gillespie Magee," Magee answered.

"Were you in Nanking from December 1937 to February 1938?" Procurator asked.

"I was," Magee answered.

"What was the action of Japanese soldiers towards the civilians² Chinese men?" Procurator asked.

"After their occupation of Nanking in 1937, the killing³ began immediately. He was drowned before her face." Magee answered.

The tribunal also accepted other evidence, including a secret telegram from the then Nazi⁴ Germany embassy in Nanjing to the German Foreign Ministry⁵.

The telegram said, "it is not this Japanese or that Japanese who committed the crime; it is the entire Japanese Imperial Army. It is a beast machine."

On March 1947, the tribunal said in its verdict that a total of more than 300,000 victims had been killed by the Japanese army in the Nanjing massacre.
