《Harbin 1944》What are the mistakes in the image of the Puppet Manchukuo police?

《Harbin 1944》After eight episodes, it should be said that compared with our expectations, it is indeed a bit low.But you can also watch and follow the drama. After all, the editor personally thinks that the switching points and performances of the twins played by Qin Hao are good.So some people complain that this drama is unprofessional, do you know what the mistakes are?It seems that the most talked about image is the image of the Manchukuo police. Regarding this, let’s look for information together to see what the mistake is!

Because none of us are professionals, the editor will explain it to you through information.Many people complained that the crew did not do their homework. After all, these require historical data to verify.Based on the analysis content of pcc778899, an author on Zhihu, the editor has compiled and shared it here for everyone to take a look at.

First, there is something about the color of the costumes of the Puppet Manchukuo police

In the play, the puppet Manchukuo police are wearing black police uniforms. The author believes that during most of the time when the puppet Manchukuo regime existed, most of the puppet Manchukuo police did not wear black clothes.

From the perspective of documentary records: According to the Chinese and Japanese documents that the author can access, the official description of the color of the Puppet Manchukuo police uniform has always been - tea green - or - tea brown - (in the Puppet Manchukuo context - tea green -“Tawny《roughly similar in color to the uniforms of the Puppet Manchukuo Army》green with a slight grayish-brown tone《the color is darker for police officers and lighter for general grassroots police officers).Uniforms are made of woolen in winter and cloth in summer.

From the perspective of photo analysis: the brightness and darkness of the Puppet Manchukuo police uniforms in black and white photos are not as deep as black.

From the perspective of the physical objects left behind: Most of the original Puppet Manchukuo police uniforms seen so far are green.

To sum up, the Puppet Manchukuo police uniforms are not the pattern commonly used by Chinese and Japanese police in the first half of the 20th century - black in winter and yellow in summer - but green and brown in all seasons.

If you search on Baidu for "Puppet Manchukuo Police", you may see a photo of the so-called "Puppet Manchukuo Capital Police Department Group Photo".The police in the photo are all wearing black police uniforms, but if you look closely at the details, you will find that the photo is actually a police officer from the Kanto Bureau of Japan.

Second, - Guan Xue - what's wrong with this character's police uniform insignia?

In the play, the armband has three blue horizontal lines with two golden plum blossoms underneath.The epaulettes are on a black background with narrow strips, and are embellished with three golden plum blossom stars.

This combination is strictly speaking unrealistic.

Third, the issue of armband color

First of all, the crossbar of the Manchukuo police armbands is not blue, but brown (before Kant's second year (1935), it was gold).

At present, the author has not found any basis for the statement that the Puppet Manchukuo police armbands are blue in the literature at the time.Relevant statements can only be found in articles written many years ago by Guangxi Du, a senior figure in military and police clothing research.However, the article by Senior Du of Guangxi did not indicate the source of the data cited, and the views contained in it were quite inconsistent with a large number of historical documents that the author had read.

According to the literature the author has read and the historical photos I have seen, the statement that the Puppet Manchukuo police armbands are blue is not very credible.

Fourth, the issue of representation of epaulettes and armbands

Secondly, this epaulette-armband combination does not conform to historical facts.

The change process of the Puppet Manchukuo police rank markings is relatively complicated, and there is no strict one-to-one correspondence between the distinctions between the chapters.

To put it simply, in 1944, when the plot took place, Guan Xue wore the "short epaulette" of "a thin golden road + three plum blossom stars", which corresponded to the rank of appointed sergeant.The kind in the play - three horizontal lines + two golden plum blossoms - (ignoring the wrong color) does not exist at the time when the plot takes place.

If the epaulette indicates - appointed sergeant - the correct armband at the time of the plot should be - one 13mm thick brown line, two 6mm thin brown lines on it, and a 9mm radius below the horizontal line.A golden plum blossom”.

Fifth, the issue of job title matching.

In the play, Guan Xue is the chief of the Special Agents Section of the Harbin Police Department. According to the scattered documents found by the author, this position corresponds to at least the level of recommended police officer. In the play, according to 》 Appointing a sergeant - to deal with it is too low.

Having said so much, everyone must be confused about the crew. In fact, the plot is not entirely wrong.At least the pattern of the top, for example, is more accurate.In the play, the police uniforms are decorated with I-fold pockets on the chest and hem, which is very correct - the style of Puppet Manchukuo military and police clothing.

The buttons on the coat are embossed with golden plum blossoms, and the collar badge is a pile of small golden plum blossoms, which is also historically accurate.In the play, the front buttons are larger than the pocket flap buttons, and this detail is also accurate (in reality, according to regulations, the diameter of the plum blossom buttons on the placket is 18mm, and the diameter of the plum blossom buttons on the pocket flap is 16mm).
