  I learned a lot about the Japanese from my uncle. He was a Marine sergeant who server in the Pacific during WWII. Great man, great stories. RIP Uncle Jimmy.

  I can't imagine the creators of this "urgent" and "current " information,  could imagine people would be watching  this so many decades later!

  I recall hearing from someone who served on a submarine during WWII when they were stalking the shipyards in Vietnam. The Japanese built a destroyer which the sub and the crew watched for a long time and then when it was launched they sank it as it came out of the harbor.

  The chief author of this, Major George Fielding Eliot, wrote some great pulp stories for Weird Tales, along with HP Lovecraft and that whole crew. One of his stories, "The Copper Bowl," is considered maybe the most shocking and controversial story ever published in Weird Tales.

  &quot;The Princeton Film Center.&quot;<br><br>Ironically, Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, who was Commander of the 1st Carrier Division, IJN, at Midway was a Princeton graduate, receiving his M.A. there in 1922.

  Even back when this film was made, it was well understood that Hirohito was merely being used by the TYS (Taisei Yokusankai)

  “ niponese “. Never heard that before. &nbsp;I knew they were at war with China and Russia at one time, but never knew that they controlled soo much territory.

  I was going to say that the film was made in 1942 based on the shots of the USS Lexington (it says LEX on the deck) and the overflight of TBD dive bombers at the end, the end credits confirmed it.<br><br>The above notes to this video ended by mentioning the Quebec Conference but the earliest of the two of these in WWII was held in August 1943, my guess is that this was one of the Washington or Allied conferences of 1941 or 42 . &nbsp;Another giveaway for the 1942 date of release was the emphasis on surface ships, no mention of the Battle of Midway and the shots of M3 Lees coming off the production lines (these were phased out by 1943 in favour of Shermans).<br><br>The ships rolling down the slips from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsPSuiISuxU&amp;t=770">12:50</a> onwards include the SS John C Fremont a 4500 ton bulk carrier (no info), DD-453 a Gleaves class destroyer sunk by U Boat in 1943, I could not read the name on the last ship.<br><br>Great video, interesting to see that even in 1942 US propaganda was emphasizing that the war was between the US and the Japanese government, not the Japanese people.
