Original review summary

The reviewed video is an excerpt from a 1944 American wartime propaganda film, but it was given added Japanese subtitles. The review says the film’s propaganda purpose does not make the Nanjing Incident a fabrication: the Japanese government acknowledges killings of non-combatants and looting, and a 2010 joint study examined the incident.[S1]

Additional context

The review describes the Nanjing Incident as occurring after Japanese forces occupied Nanjing in 1937. It also notes that estimates of the death toll vary. [S1]
