Comments : ongoing 第十六卷附圖第四十八上海附近支那軍一般態勢要圖 昭和七年二月十七日 Sino-Japanese conflict in Shanghai (1932): this collection of Japanese military maps covers the unfolding of the military operations in and around Shanghai between Chinese and Japanese troops in January-March 1932. These maps were drawn after the confict, probably as documents to serve Japanese strategy in the Shanghai area and/or as study documents for the training of officers. These maps show the Japanese army had a very detailed knowledge of the local terrain. Apart from the indications they provide for an understanding of the military conflict itself, they also supply excellent geographical knowledge on the topography and human settlements in the area north of Shanghai.
