I subbed this movie https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0035533/

And it is a very interesting story of Japanese propaganda. The model and recreation of the attack was so good that the US thought they had live cameras there for a while.

I have some respect for the Japanese Navy. But their Army was a bunch of thugs, who even exceeded the cruelty of the Nazis.

Wonder how one would find it for playback. Doubt it is still out for sale or online purchase play, etc.

Quite a cast of known Japanese actors of the time.

Toshiro Mifune and Lee Marvin— Hell in the Pacific can still be found. More riveting than Letters from Iwo Jima, in many ways though that movie does give perspective of the desperate state of the Japanese military by that time. Fanatics and pragmatists— and an Olympic equestrian who came there and brought his horse.
