"Originally made in 1945 as part of the acclaimed Frank Capra series " Why We Fight", Battle of China focuses on one of the forgotten theatres of the second World War, China. The Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931 gave the world a first hand taste of modern warfare. The Japanese atrocities in every territory they overran firmed the resolve of the 'free world' to fight back."
