日軍在港戰爭罪行 : 戰犯審判紀錄及其研究

在三年零八個月的日佔時期裏，日軍在香港所犯的暴行罄竹難書，當中最為惡名昭彰的是憲兵隊。 二戰結束後，英國在香港設立了四個軍事法庭，從一九四六年三月起，審理了四十六宗案件，在香港發生的案件就有三十宗，整個法庭程序前後費時兩年零八個多月，當中涉案戰犯被判死刑的有十三宗。審判結束後，整個詳盡的法庭記錄收入英國陸軍部檔案，成為日軍在香港干犯戰爭罪行的珍貴歷史資料。 香港地方志辦公室從中深入研究，選出十個足以概括日軍暴行的檔案，展開翻譯和個案研究。日軍暴行所涉及的主題包括︰十八日戰爭、香港憲兵隊及分隊、深水埗戰俘營、赤柱監獄，以及銀礦灣慘案等。此外，還根據軍事法庭檔案的線索，重訪涉案地方，找到日軍暴行的親歷者和他們的後裔，通過訪談核實和補充檔案資料，撰寫成十個專題報告，重現相關事件的細節。 本書通過這些翻譯軍事法庭的紀錄和專題報告，藉以展示日軍在香港干犯的暴行，重現香港日佔時期歷史的片段，以為後來者鑑戒。 <eng> During the Japanese Occupation, the atrocities perpetrated by the Japanese army in Hong Kong were too numerous to record. The most notorious among the army was the Kenpeitai. After the end of World War II, four British military courts were established in Hong Kong. Since March 1946, 46 cases had been heard and 30 of them took place in Hong Kong. Throughout 2 years and 8 months of the entire court proceedings, 13 war criminals had been sentenced to death. After the trials, the whole court records were preserved in the British War Office Archive, and became a valuable historical source of Japanese war crimes committed in Hong Kong. Summarizing the atrocities of the Japanese army, ten records were selected, translated and studied under in-depth research by Hong Kong Local Records Office, involving topics on the Battle of Hong Kong, Kenpeitai and its detachments in Hong Kong, Sham Shui Po POW camp, Stanley Prison, and the Silver Mine Bay Massacre, etc. Furthermore, by tracing the clues from the military court records, witnesses and their descendants were found during re-visits to the relevant places. The archive information was verified and supplemented through interviews and ten special reports were written to reproduce the details of the events. With the translations of military court records and special reports, this book demonstrates the atrocities perpetrated by the Japanese army in Hong Kong and reconstructs the history of the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, with a view to offering lessons for posterity.
