I understand that there were between 20-80,000 rapes during the 'Rape of Nanking', so this could easily be an order of magnitude higher than "one of the worst wartime atrocities in history". Facilitated by the government. Against its own people. In peacetime. It just hit me how unfathomable this whole situation is.
