I would like to know more about this part of the war, so wondering if you know any good documentaries in English?

I want one more focused on the military and strategic aspect of the war, one that explains the plans of both belligerents, the numbers on each side, the economy of each belligerent, etc etc.

thanks in advance

What's the reason for it? Have primary sources simply not been translated or were they not recorded in the first place?
The way the Japanese view the Sino-Japanese War is...interesting, to say the least. I'd argue that the average Japanese school teaches less about the conflict than Western schools do.

Chinese accounts are uncommon or innacurate, because the primary combatants ended up losing against the Communists a few years later.

Well, it wasn't all that well recorded in the first place, and China's so big that things just kinda got lost.

Doesn't help that the Japanese destroyed a lot of their documents. Chinese destroyed their documents and executed pretty much everyone involved.

... I see. I knew it won't be easy to begin with. can you guys give me the links for the articles in English? I like to read well detailed articles too.

that should be very awkward. considering how the allies wanted future German generations to be conscious and guilty.

hoo how geopolitics changes everything!!
