Analyzing the “Photographic Evidence” of the Nanking Massacre

Fitch Photos -(21)Photo 93 Photo 91 Photo 89 Photo 91 Photo 92 Photo90Photo89= Fitch Photo Photo92= Fitch Photo Photo90= Fitch Photo Photo93= Fitch Photo Photo91= Fitch Photo Photo94= Fitch Photo (21)One obvious contradiction that instantly strikes the reader of this quoted passage.If the Fitch family had really closely preserved these photographs in their possession forhalf a century, some of the photos could not have been printed in RBS or WMRB, whichwere published in 1938. There are several other inconsistencies and questionable points inthis explanation:1. Although Tooker himself supposedly took these photographs, he contradicted himself bysaying that a Japanese soldier had photographed some of them. Had a Japanese militaryman truly have been the photographer, one wonders who told Tooker about him, and howhe obtained them from the military man, at what location and on what date.2. What was the name of the Korean film developer? What was the identity of theAmerican to whom that Korean sent the photo prints—Tooker himself or someone else?How did that Korean become acquainted with that American?3. Although Tooker himself reportedly took some photographs, none were credited to him.Did Tooker not take any images of the Japanese?147
