plot synopsis:
The sixth of seven parts of the "Why We Fight"-series centers around the events on the Chinese-Japanes front. In brief the audience is introduced to the country and people of China and their history.
The film portrays the arrogance and cruelty by which Japan uses the captured land and its facilities to overwhelm the rest of Asia. Included are some appalling scenes of wartime atrocities—some filmed by the Japanese as proof of their invincibility.
