1992年底,德国政府将一批原藏于国家档案馆中的关于1957年底至1938年初“南京大屠杀”惨案的史料公之于世,引起广泛关注。众所周知,在第二次世界大战中,日本和德国是法西斯盟国。那么,为什么德国驻南京大使馆的外交官员们却把客观反映日军暴行的大量材料保留下来并邮送回德国外交部?这与有“红色超级间谍”之称的佐尔格大有关系。佐尔格早在20世纪20年代就加入李卜克内西和卢森堡领导的德国共产党,为共产国际和苏联红军总参谋部远东情报局工作。 At the end of 1992, the German government made a number of historical sources known to the public in the National Archives about the massacre of the “Nanjing Massacre” from the end of 1957 to the beginning of 1938, arousing widespread concern. It is well known that during the Second World War Japan and Germany were fascist allies. So why did the diplomats of the German embassy in Nanjing keep a large amount of material that objectively reflected the atrocities committed by the Japanese army and mail them back to the German Foreign Ministry? This is so much related to Sorge, a “red super spy.” As early as the 1920s, Sorge joined the German Communist Party led by Liebknecht and Luxembourg and worked for the Far East Intelligence Agency of the Comintern and the Soviet Army’s General Staff.
