(6/10) Battlefield II The Battle of Manchuria World War II

SUBSCRIBE TO EXCELLENT WORLD WAR II VIDEOS

The remarkable Soviet victory over the once mighty Japanese Kwantung Army in the mountains of Manchuria is one of the least known of the Second World War. This was no steam roller triumph of greater numbers and brute force but a victory for superior weaponry, brilliant tactical use of surprise and bold command that was achieved in little more than a fortnight. This episode, brand new to DVD is from the land mark television series Battlefield. Featuring fascinating archive footage from all over the world the program includes a review of the political and military situation before the battle, portraits of leaders and commanders, an explanation of weapons and tactics and the story of the battle itself. Vivid graphics place the battle into the context of the war as a whole. Scene Selection: 1.Introduction 2.Prelude to the Battle 3.The Commanders 4. Soviet Forces 5.Japanese Forces 6.The Battlefield 7.Potsdam Conference 8.The Campaign Begins 9.The Aftermath

This is one of my favorite Battlefield series. Like the narrator says in the beginning, this battle seems to be treated as only a foot-note during the war.

That's what I call a BLITZKRIEG BY USSR

[sebas379]

probably meant as summing up the previous part, something often done after a commercial break

that's what i'd guess is the reason

"generalisimo" is a tern you just don't hear enough any more

WHY are they repeating themselves? In this segment they're repeating information they gave in the 1st and 2nd segments. I've watched a number of these Battlefield II docus in the past few months and I've noticed most of them do this.

Was this supposed to be for the benefit of tv viewers who tuned in halfway through? If so, it makes sense but it's still annoying.....
