| Because the siege of
Tsingtau, the only great operation of the Japanese Navy and Army, ended
with 1014 men killed (this figure was engraved on a memorial,
established by the Japanese in 1916 at Tsingtau City), and the sinking
of some other ships (www.worldwar1atsea.net/WW1NavyJapanese.htm
) the casualties of the Japanese were more than 800
men in World War I. Hans-Joachim Schmidt www.tsingtau.info |
