R	Road B on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1945年3月10日未明アメリカは日本の戦争継続を不可能にするため、木造家屋の建ち並ぶ人口密集地を目標にM69油脂焼夷弾(ナパーム弾)を投下しました。東京湾から侵入した約300機のB29爆撃機はおよそ２時間半の間にE46集束焼夷弾（M69油脂焼夷弾を38本まとめたもの）として約32万本を目標に向けて投下しました。この夜間低高度からの無差別爆撃に北西からの強風も加わり、大火災が発生しました。この爆撃によって約100万人が被災し、11万人以上が犠牲になりました（台東区ー犠牲者14784人、墨田区ー犠牲者28660人、江東区ー犠牲者36521人）。この追悼碑のある言問橋南側に台東区側公園5千人以上、墨田区側公園1万人以上が仮埋葬されました。戦後荼毘に付され東京都慰霊堂に納骨されました。 1922年ハーグ法律家委員会が「空戦に関する規則案」(ハーグ空戦規則案)を作成しています。ーーーーーーーーーーーー以下抜粋ーーーーーーーーーーーー *第22条[非戦闘員当に対する爆発の禁止]普通人民若を威嚇し、軍事的性質を有しない私有財産を破壊し若しくはき損し、又は非戦闘員を損傷することを目的とする空中爆発は禁止する* ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーこの規則を守って戦争している国はほとんどありません。何か理由をつけて非戦闘員を損傷する爆撃を正当化してきます。しかし、戦争そのものが本来正当化できるものではない以上、その正当化には何の意味もありません。二度と戦争状態にしないことが最も大切なことだと思いました。（2021年8月17日） Early dawn on March 10, 1945 The United States dropped an M69 incendiary (napalm) targeting a densely populated area with wooden houses in order to make it impossible for Japan to continue the war. Approximately 300 B29 bombers invading from Tokyo Bay dropped approximately 320,000 E46 focused incendiary bombs (38 M69 oil and fat incendiary bombs) in about two and a half hours. Indiscriminate bombing from low altitude at night was accompanied by strong winds from the northwest, causing a large fire. The bombing affected about 1 million people and killed more than 110,000 (Taito-ku-14784 victims, Sumida-ku-28660 victims, Koto-ku-36521 victims). More than 5,000 people in the Taito Ward side park and more than 10,000 people in the Sumida Ward side park were temporarily buried on the south side of Kotoibashi where this memorial monument is located. After the war, it was attached to the 荼毘 and was delivered to the Tokyo Metropolitan Memorial Hall. In 1922, the Hague Lawyers Commission drafted the "Draft Rules on Air Warfare" (Draft Hague Air Warfare Rules). The following excerpts --------------- * Article 22 [Prohibition of Explosion Against Non-Combatants] The purpose is to intimidate ordinary people, destroy or damage private property that does not have military nature, or damage non-combatants. Air explosions are prohibited * ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Few countries are at war following this rule. It justifies bombing that damages non-combatants for some reason. However, since the war itself cannot be justified, its justification has no meaning. I thought it was most important not to go into war again. (August 17, 2021)
ネ	ネコムラ。 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1945年3月10日の未明。B29アメリカ軍は、あえて風の強い日を選び、1665トンに上る大量の焼夷弾を投下。火災は北風や西風の強風もあって、目標地域をこえて、東や南に広がり、本所区、深川区、城東区の全域、浅草区、神田区、日本橋区の大部分、下谷区東部、荒川区南部、向島区南部、江戸川区の荒川放水路より西の部分など、下町の大部分を焼き尽くしました。罹災家屋は約27万戸、罹災者は約100万人でした。当時、浅草方面から墨田方面へ、墨田方面から浅草方面へと逃げ惑う人達がこの言問橋を行き交っていたそうです。しかし、たちまち炎は人から人へ、そして橋から川へ飛び降りる人、人、人。多くの罪のない子供たちが、母親に守られる様に丸焦げになり死んでいきました。橋の欄干には今も尚、人の脂で焦げ跡が生々しく残っています。この惨劇は決して後世、繰り返してはいけません。そして、風化させてはいけない歴史の黒幕なのです。 Early dawn on March 10, 1945. B29 US Army I dared to choose a windy day and dropped a large amount of incendiary bombs amounting to 1665 tons. The fire spread to the east and south beyond the target area due to the strong north and west winds, and the entire area of Honjo-ku, Fukagawa-ku, Joto-ku, Asakusa-ku, Kanda-ku, most of Nihonbashi-ku, and the eastern part of Shitaya-ku. , Southern Arakawa Ward, Southern Mukojima Ward, West of Arakawa Floodway in Edogawa Ward, and most of the downtown area was burned down. The number of affected houses was about 270,000, and the number of affected people was about 1 million. At that time, people fleeing from Asakusa to Sumida and from Sumida to Asakusa were passing through this Kotoibashi. But instantly the flames jump from person to person, and from the bridge to the river, people, people, people. Many innocent children were charred and died to be protected by their mothers. The balustrade of the bridge still has a vivid burnt mark left by human fat. This tragedy should never be repeated in posterity. And it is a mastermind of history that should not be weathered.

T	Tommy Kurauchi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 東京大空襲戦災犠牲者追悼碑 (Tōkyō daikūshū sensai gisei-sha tsuitō-hi) [Memorial to the victims of the Great Tokyo Air Raid War]. On the night of 10 March 1945, civilians fleeing the incendiary bombs from the Asakusa and Mukojima sides of the Sumida River converged on the Kototoi Bridge to see refuge on the other side. The resulting congesting resulted in great loss of life at the site as bombs hit the bridge and the river ignited with many lost in the action that night. In all, more than 100,000 lives were lost that night. Monument inscription: あゝ東京大空襲朋よやすらかに (Ā tōkyōdaikūshū Tomo yo ya sura kani) [Ah, the Tokyo Air Raids]. This area is also the site of 蟻の町 (Ari no machi) [Ants' Town], the settlement of rag pickers and recyclers associated with 尊者北原怜子エリザベトマリア Venerable Elizabeth Maria Satoko Kitahara, known as the 蟻の町のマリア [Maria of Ants Town] in the 1950's.
