【摘要】 由于证据的限制，南京大屠杀第一责任人松井石根虽被远东国际军事法庭判处最高量刑绞刑，但判决仅认定“普通战争罪”中较轻的消极罪名有罪。本文通过辨析长久以来从未引起注意的松井石根《对关于南京屠杀、暴行证言的抗议》,证明从上海派遣军到华中方面军超出一般作战的过度杀戮和暴行，确与松井石根的认知和指挥直接有关，这也足证南京暴行案关乎日军整体的组织责任，而并不仅是下级官兵的个人责任；同时，松井石根判断的死伤者数为日方今存第一手材料中的最大数字，超过了日本中间派主张的规模，与屠杀派主张的规模近似。更多还原

【Abstract】 In the case of the Nanjing Massacre,although Iwane Matsui,the principal responsible officer,was sentenced to death by hanging by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East,the court,limited by the available evidence,convicted him only on a lesser charge of passive culpability under "conventional war crimes." To clarify the specifics of his responsibility,this article examines the long-overlooked document by Matsui titled " Protest against Testimonies of the Nanjing Massacre and Atrocities".This article demonstrates that the excessive killing and violence perpetrated by Japanese military units,from the Shanghai Expeditionary Army to the Central China Area Army,which went beyond conventional combat operations,were indeed directly linked to Matsui’s awareness and command.This article also fully illustrates that the Nanjing Massacre constitutes a collective organizational responsibility of the Japanese military and cannot be simplistically attributed to lower-ranking officers and soldiers alone.Furthermore,the document reveals that the casualty figures estimated by Matsui himself represent the highest number found in extant Japanese first-hand materials.These figures exceed the scale accepted by the moderate school of thought in Japan and align closely with estimates put forward by the people that acknowledges the massacre.更多还原
