说起20世纪三四十年代的德国和日本,许多人都知道他们是法西斯侵略集团,是二战的策源地,但也许并不知道,在中国抗战前,甚至是中日战争爆发后的一段时间里,德国这个日本的盟友,却一直是支援中国国防建设的主力军。德国的军火输入成了20世纪30年代中国军队发展的重要因素,而德国军事顾问团则给中国军队的现代化改造提供了大量的帮助。全部德式装备的国民党军队,曾一度让人们把淞沪抗战说成是德国的战争。但是,为何如此“亲密”的中德两国,在二战来临时却分道扬镳,最后各自走向了敌对的两个阵营? Speaking of Germany and Japan in the 1930s and 1940s, many people knew that they were fascist aggressors and were the source of World War II, but perhaps they did not know that before China’s war of resistance against Japan and even after the Sino-Japanese War broke out Germany, an ally of Japan, has always been the main force supporting China’s national defense. The import of arms from Germany became an important factor in the development of the Chinese army in the 1930s, while the German military advisory team provided a great deal of help to the modernization of the Chinese army. All the Kuomintang troops equipped with German equipment once made people call the war in Songhu a war in Germany. However, why China and Germany, so “intimate”, parted ways when World War II arrived, and finally went to two hostile camps?
