A picture of a Red Swastika Society member about the time of the Nanking Massacre, The Red Swastika Society is a voluntary association founded in China in 1922, Its strength during the 1920s and 1930s seem to vary widely, with citations of 30,000 "members" in 1927 to 7-10 million "followers" in 1937. Perhaps its most storied contact with history was its role in the Nanking Massacre. The rampage of the occupying Japanese forces through the city left thousands of bodies in the streets, and the Society stepped in to assist in burials. Records of these activities from the Society have provided important primary resources for research into the scale of the atrocity and the location of mass graves.

The UNPA, controlled by the War Ministry, was a volunteer organization until 18 June 1940, a week after the entry in war of the Italy, when UNPA was militarized. Victor Sierra
