As for the rape of NANKING? I shudder when I learn of all the cruelty there and other places. Human beings lives just so insignificant. The killing Lust that must overtake those out to conquer other countries.
Such things can occur after years of propaganda, racial villification and nationalistic fervor. Hitler of course did something similar in Germany. Basically once you control all the media, the education system and curb any political opposition you can change the way people think. This occurred in Japan as in Germany. Nationalistic pride makes you believe you are better than other peoples and countries, superior to them. Villify them enough and the people will start to barely consider other peoples/races as any better than animals and themselves as some sort of elite race.

Of course not all the population will think this way but if you lock up and execute enough dissenters and outlaw any political parties opposed to the new world view you are fostering, which is what happened in Japan, then soon those who don't agree with what's happening learn to keep their mouths shut.
