Description

Purported scene of a Japanese soldier executing a Chinese.

However, the alleged "Japanese soldier" is swinging the sword down with one hand. Denialists claim that this is the Chinese style of swinging a sword down. The Japanese always swing a sword down with both hands. Denialists use this discrpancy to conclude that this photo was a prearranged pose set up by the Chinese for propaganda purposes. The man with the sword appears in other photos which denialists also claim are forged.
