WWII told through Japanese cameras point of view

This interesting documentary retells the familiar story of WWII using captured Japanese film. It starts with the preparation for Pearl Harbor, from the carrier decks to the actual bombing, providing some of the only aerial footage that exists of the attack. It continues on to show everything from captured prisoners, to the results of the saturation bombings of Japan and the atomic bomb attack. Quality is variable, some clips are excellent, some are quite degraded. Aerial footage is quite good, while the ground footage seems amateurish at times, even though it is obviously official footage shot by Japanese army photographers. Well worth checking out by any history buff.
