Nanking 1937: Japanese Said "No Chinese SURVIVES" — What a German Did Saved 200,000 LIVES
December 13, 1937, dawn. Smoke rises over Nanking's western districts as Japanese forces move through the city. Four Chinese women kneel in the rubble, hands clasped in prayer, while soldiers with flags stand behind them. This moment—captured in photographs that would later surface—represents what John Rabe saw from his Siemens compound window at 4:47 AM.
Six hundred refugees were already pounding on his gates. Japanese troops were hunting civilians building by building. Rabe grabbed one object from his desk: a red armband with a black swastika. When Chinese refugees saw that Nazi symbol, they didn't run away. They rushed toward it. Rabe walked outside wearing the armband and raised his arm at advancing soldiers. They stopped. They saluted.
They withdrew. By sunset, 20,000 refugees flooded his safety zone. The kneeling women in that photograph? They were among the hundreds of thousands who would face this choice: pray for mercy from Japanese soldiers, or run toward a German Nazi's protection. Nobody knew Rabe would save 200,000 lives with the world's most hated symbol.
