Enemy Elite Friday: Yasuhiko Asaka (Japan)

 
"Yasuhiko was the founder of a collateral branch of the Japanese imperial family and a career officer in the Imperial Japanese Army.  Son-in-law of Emperor Meiji and uncle by marriage of Emperor Hirohito, Prince Asaka was commander of Japanese forces in the final assault on Nanjing, then the capital city of Nationalist China, in December 1937.  He is alleged to have been a perpetrator of the Nanking massacre in 1937, but he was never charged." 

Another vile enemy elite,
Brian
