Iinuma was chief of staff of Shanghai Expeditionary Army during the Rape of Nanking,
and his diary has been cited by both historians and Japanese
ultranationalists in the debate over the scope of the atrocity. He commanded 110 Division in northern China when war broke out in the
Pacific, but retired in mid-1942. He was recalled to active duty in 1945 for the final defense of the home islands of Japan.
