that invasion in 1931 was a set up and horrible unnecessary action orchestrated by the League Of Nations. Connected to the very man narrating this Film.
Anyone know the validity of what the commentator said about the sailor death on USS Augusta? I thought it was Chinese friendly fire that killed the sailor.
@mpdivo Thank you for pointing that out, you are correct. Unfortunately, due to Youtube restrictions we can't post a direct link to the Naval History and Heritage Command online exhibit about USS Augusta, but here's an excerpt from the page: "In mid-August 1937, while off Shanghai, she was accidentally bombed by Chinese aircraft, but suffered no damage or casualties. However, a few days later, another accident, this time involving a Chinese anti-aircraft shell, killed a member of her crew."

It is appalling to think that there are people today who render morally equivalent Imperial Japan and the United States.
