John Rabe quotes

  • Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: Congratulations, Major. You'll make an excellent commander one day. But I ask myself, why is it that I give orders not to take prisoners, and you arrive with thousands?

    Major Ose: Please forgive me.

    Japanese Officer: Your Highness.

    Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: I didn't ask you to speak!

    [Japanese officer steps back and bows]

    Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: So, Major. What do you propose?

    Major Ose: Your Highness. It would be extremely difficult to execute that many prisoners.

    Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: Is that so?

    Major Ose: Furthermore, I believe such executions could be considered to be illegal.

    Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: Illegal? I am entrusting you personally with resolving this matter once and for all. I want no prisoner alive by tomorrow morning. We will also shell the city center. Nanking must experience the superiority of our troops.

  • Colonel Nakajima Kesago: He disobeyed the rules by not staying in the car.

    John Rabe: He didn't stay in the car? His head was cut off!

    Colonel Nakajima Kesago: It was an honorable death. A contest between two officers. Very popular in Japan.

    John Rabe: What contest?

    Colonel Nakajima Kesago: Who decapitates the most enemies.
