日本軍用地圖

從哈佛大學地圖館藏中的一份日本軍用地圖可見，日本人對於他們的目標瞭如指掌。這份以英國人所製地圖為藍本的地圖，其上的標示鉅細無遺，包括行政區界線、鐵道、公路和小徑、電話線和電報線、無線發報器和海底地纜、警察局和郵局、電話電報局、學校、醫院、教堂、寺廟、佛塔、墳場、水井、果園、沼澤和濕地、未開發地和荒地，以及落葉林和針葉林。

A Japanese intelligence map, now housed in the Harvard University Map Collection, shows just how well the Japanese knew their target. Based on British maps, this meticulously detailed map includes administrative boundaries, railway tracks, roads and paths, telephone and telegraph lines, wireless transmitters and underwater cables, police stations and post offices, telegraph and telephone offices, schools, hospitals, churches, temples, pagodas, cemeteries, wells, orchards, marshes and wetlands, uncultivated and barren areas, and both deciduous and coniferous forests.
