OP overestimates rape incidence in present day by over 5 fold.

Fuck's sake, can you not read the sources you yourself provide?

I can guarantee that they report it at a much higher rate today as there are actual procedures on how to handle it.

Yes, it is generally considered that ~25%-33% of rapes are reported in the modern day, whereas the researcher on WW2 whose numbers are quoted assumed, probably not unfairly, that only ~5% of rapes were reported - which is how the estimate of 3,500 rapes was reached.

it reads like rationalizing rape committed by soldiers.

... what.
