DVD.     SEVERAL YEARS AGO I BOUGHT A MILITARY REFERENCE LIBRARY WHICH INCLUDED A SELECTION OF RARE WW2 ERA JAPANESE WAR MOVIES. THESE ARE PROFESSIONAL TRANSFERS OF THE ORIGINAL FILMS BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHEN ,WHERE OR BY WHOM.THEY ARE ALL RARE TITLES NEVER RELEASED IN THE WEST. THEY WERE MADE FOR JAPANESE DOMESTIC SHOW. THESE INCLUDE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION USING JAPANESE MILITARY EQUIPTMENT AND MANPOWER AND AUTHORIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND SOME GOVERNMENT MADE TITLES WHICH LEAN MORE TOWARD THE PROPAGANDA FIELD BUT STILL INCLUDE SOME RARE FILM OF JAPANESE TROOPS, WEAPONS AND BATTLE SCENES.SOME SCENES ARE OBVIOUSLY AND AMATURE IN NATURE BUT REAL BATTLE FILM IS ALSO USED.
ALL BLACK AND WHITE ON DVD WITH JAPANESE LABELS.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND JAPANESE. I HAVE WATCHED EACH OF THESE AT LEAST TWICE. THEY ARE UNIQUE IN THEIR PERSPECTIVE AND IN THE LOOK AT REAL PERIOD UNIFORMS,WEAPONS,CUSTOMS AND MANNERS.THE TRANSLATIONS OF THE TITLES WERE DONE BY LOCAL STUDENTS SO PLEASE ,JAPANESE SPEAKING FOLKS ,FORGIVE ANY ERRORS.DISCRIPTIONS ARE ACCURATE WITH AN EYE TOWARD THE INTERESTS OF MILITARY COLLECTORS.
THIS ONE CALLED "MUD SOLDIERS" IS THE JAPANESE VERSION OF "PLATOON".IT IS THE STORY OF A LIGHT INFANTRY PLATOON OF ARMY TROOPS IN CHINA.IT OPENS UP WITH AN ATTACK ON A CHINESE VILLAGE.THE PLATOON DOES EVEYTHING WHICH YOU WOULD EXPECT AND IS INCLUDED IN LARGER GROUP ACTIONS AS LARGE AS REGIMENT SIZE.GREAT FILM OF FIRING ALL THE LIGHT MACHINEGUNS.70MM HOWITZER,KNEE MORTAR,STICK GRENADES,GREAT RIVER CROSSING WITH FOLDING PONTOON BRIDGE,THE ONLY FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN OF THE 8CM MORTAR FIRING THE SQAURE RODDED DEMOLITION CHARGE,SAPPER UNIT CLEARING WIRE,DOG UNIT,SMOKE SCREEN ATTACK,SINGING,CHINESE TROOPS FOUND CHAINED TO THEIR WEAPONS IN BLOCKHOUSE,FINAL ATTACK INCLUDES MEDIUM AND HEAVY ARTILLERY,AIR SUPPORT,GOOD FILM OF FIRING MGS WITH TRACER AMMO.THE FILM OF THE VARIOUS WEAPONS FIRING IS WORTH THE WATCHING,ESPECIALLY THE KNEE MORTAR.THESE ARE REAL TROOPS.110 MINUTES.JAPANESE LANGUAGE.CONDITION :AS NEW.
