NANKING FALLS TO JAPANESE CENTRAL CHINA AREA ARMY, December 13, 1937. The first Japanese air raids against Nanking took place in August 1937.  Following the Japanese breakout from Shanghai in November 1937, Japanese forces raced up the Yangtze valley against minimal opposition from the routed and panic-stricken Chinese forces.  On the recommendation of their German advisors, the Chinese had spent over a million yuan to establish a line of fortifications in the Yangtze Valley inland of Shanghai ("the Far Eastern Hindenburg Line") to hold up a Japanese advance into the heart of China, but this was abandoned without a fight. By 3 December the Japanese had seized Tanyang, just fifty miles from the capital.  The Chinese defense lines were established too close to the city and the Japanese were within artillery range of the city before they even came in contact with the defenses.  On 6 December the main infantry assault commenced from the east and south, and took just five...

From 1992 to 2003, a vicious rapist and killer terrorized Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  Derrick Todd Lee would often pose as a stranger in need to earn his victims' trust — and access to their homes — before attacking them.  Some rumors even claimed that he would play the sounds of a crying infant on tape to lure his victims to the door, but police denied this story.  For years, authorities struggled to identify the "Baton Rouge Serial Killer" as Lee's rampage continued.  But then, on July 9, 2002, Lee arrived at the home of Dianne Alexander, asking if he could use her telephone.  As she opened the door, Lee attacked. As he beat and tried to rape Alexander, her son suddenly arrived home and chased him away from the property, averting another tragedy — and allowing Alexander to describe him to the police.  With Alexander's description and a growing collection of DNA evidence, time was running out for Derrick Todd Lee.  Don't forget to leave your thoughts in ...

MANILA MASSACRE, 1945 The Manila massacre involved atrocities committed against Filipino civilians in the city of Manila, Philippines by Japanese troops during the World War II Battle of Manila (1945).  The Manila massacre was one of several major war crimes committed by the Imperial Japanese Army, as judged by the postwar military tribunal.  The Japanese commanding general, Tomoyuki Yamashita, and his chief of staff Akira Mutō, were held responsible for the massacre and other war crimes in a trial in late 1945 in Manila. Yamashita was executed on 23 February 1946 and Muto on 23 December 1948. . Prior to the battle, deciding that he would be unable to defend Manila with the forces available to him, and to preserve as large a force as possible to continue defensive operations in the rural mountain Luzon region of the Philippines, General Tomoyuki Yamashita had insisted on a complete withdrawal of Japanese troops from Manila in January, 1945.  However, this order was not re...

Philippino actress’ rapists get the electric chair. Most people would associate the electric chair with the USA but there were two other countries which used at one time.  They were Etheopia and the Philippines. On Wednesday May 17, 1972, Jaime Jose, Basilio Pineda and Edgardo Aquino were electrocuted in Muntinlupa for the abduction and gang-rape of actress Maggie de la Riva in 1967. Maggie was kidnapped by four men in a car in front of her home at 48, 12th street, New Manila and taken to a motel in Pasay City, and abused by the men for nearly an hour.   The four were arrested a few days later and Maggie identified them in an angry outburst at the police station.  Her assailants were from elite families.  They were tried and sentenced to death in February 1971.  Maggie was brave enough to bring charges and give evidence at trial.  Rogelio Canial was also condemned but died in prison of a drug overdose in 1971. 26 year old Jaime Jose was the first to be...

RICHARD SPECK AND THE STUDENT NURSE MURDERS Although this-chilling crime was committed in Chicago, its far-reaching impact was felt most profoundly in the Philippines,  as the sole survivor—and witness of this killing spree—was a Filipina exchange student nurse, Corazon Amurao of Batangas. Richard Benjamin Speck, a 25-year-old drifter and drunkard with many criminal records, had gone to Chicago to look for a job.  Unsuccessful in his search, Speck spent his idle days drinking, before  accosting and raping Ella Mae Hooper, whose gun he also took. At about 11 p.m. on July 13, 1966, Speck slipped into a nurses’ apartment house and knocked on the bedroom door of Amurao.   Armed with  a gun, Speck herded eight student nurses in a room—including Filipinas Merlita Gargullo and Valentina Pasion—and tied them. Speck then took them out one by one, and proceeded to rape and kill them by stabbing and strangulation Amurao escaped death by hiding under a bed.  Seven...

Feb. 1, 1945: “Roll out the barrel, Santa Clause is coming,” is the note wrapped in goggles dropped by a plane to starving Allied countries’ civilians interned at the University of Santo Tomas (UST).
