《in the name of the brother》What are the mistakes in the image of the Puppet Manchukuo police?

《in the name of the brother》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 policemen wear “black police uniforms”. The author believes that during most of the time when the puppet Manchukuo regime existed, most of the puppet Manchukuo policemen 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 uniforms has always been “ tea green” or “ tea brown” (“ tea green”“ tea brown” in the Puppet Manchukuo context is roughlyIt is a slightly grayish-brown green that is similar in color to the military uniforms of the Puppet Manchukuo Army. The color is darker for police officers and lighter for general grassroots police.)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 dark 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 uniforms of the Puppet Manchukuo police are not the “ black in winter and yellow in summer pattern commonly used by Chinese and Japanese police in the first half of the 20th century, but are green and brown in all seasons.

If you search for ”Puppet Manchukuo police“ on Baidu, you may see a photo of the so-called ”Puppet Manchukuo Capital Police Department 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.

Secondly, what’s wrong with the police uniform insignia of the character ”Guan Xue“?

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 armbands of the Puppet Manchukuo police officers 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 in military and police clothing research.However, the article written by Mr. Du of Guangxi did not indicate the source of the data cited, and the views contained therein are quite inconsistent with the large number of historical documents that the author has read.

According to the literature I have 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 shoulder and armbands

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

The changing 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 various chapters.

To put it simply, in 1944, when the plot takes place, Guan Xue wore the kind of "a fine golden road + three plum blossom stars" epaulets, which corresponded to the "commissioned sergeant" level.The "three horizontal lines + two golden plum blossoms" (ignoring the wrong colors) in the play did not exist at the time when the plot took place.

If the commissioned sergeant indicated by the epaulette is used as the criterion, the correct armband at the time of the plot should be a thick brown line of 13mm, two thin brown lines of 6mm above it, and a golden plum blossom with a radius of 9mm below the horizontal line.“.

Fifth, the issue of job title matching.

In the play, ”Guan Xue“ is the chief of the Special Agent Section of the Harbin Police Department. According to the scattered documents found by the author, this position corresponds to at least the ”recommended police sergeant level. In the play, it is treated as “appointed police sergeant”.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 accurate to the clothing style of the Puppet Manchukuo military police.

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).
