Japanese Newsreel - Reel 5 

Amazing to find newsreels from the Japanese side. I've seen plenty of British and American ones, but none from the Japanese, until now.

Fascinating footage. Seems to be from the Philippines and the final days of American and Filipino formal formations. The Filipinos put on a determined and vital resistance with very little assistance during the worst days of 1942 and 1943, before things finally started to turn around.

Fascinating to see how the guy dancing on stage got all the emperor's boys to bathe together in the buff. Guess he knew his audience well.

The days when we Filipinos faced 4 years of death and torture in the hands of the japanese. More than 50,000 Filipino combatants and 983,278 Filipino civilians died in japanese invasion and occupation.

June 14, 2022----When I see films like this, I wonder how many of these men survived the war and how many are still alive today?

Early on some dude dressed up putting on a show for the boys...same thing with armies throughout history.

Looks like hard work serving those howitzers

Wish I knew what he was saying, location, just a bit more. Yeah, it’s propaganda but there’s not much from the Japanese once they started seriously losing.

From the Japanese perspective, December 1942 was still the "fun and games" phase of WWII. I wonder how many of these soldiers ever made it back to Japan.

what is the background song at 04:50?

Happy days until D day.

Wherever they went the Knights of Bushido murdered men women and children from beginning to end

I am reminded of the Chicom propaganda unit in "Porkchop Hill".
