Lego World War 2: Second Sino-Japanese War
A Lego brickfilm stop-motion about the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945), a military conflict that happened before and during World War 2 between the republic of China and the Empire of Japan. It all began with the invasion of Manchuria, but the Marco Polo Bridge incident started it all.
This war is kinda overshadowed by World War 2, while World War 2 didn't start until 1939 (excluding the German annexations).
I did this piece for a massive project for school and to date it's one of the most expensive Brickfilms this channel ever produced. (Brickfilms about historical wars are almost always expensive I think)
This is also the brickfilm with the most languages I made so far. (Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese and English)
IMPORTANT
Please don't go all political and shouting propaganda or hate speech in the comment section. I just want people having fun watching Lego minifigs killing each other off. Also don't go all history smartass here regarding the weapons and gear I used in this brickfilm. Comments that is deemed as offensive for any groups (Chinese and Japanese alike) will be removed!
So don't place hate comments on this video.
Please leave a like, subscribe and comment.
Some other notes
-The Chinese soldiers wear the M35 helmets as part of the Sino-German cooperation until 1941, they also used the Chiang-Kai Shek rifles based on the Kar98 and other weapons of other countries.
-The uniforms of the Chinese varies, they wore blue, green and kaki.
-The Chinese also wore British brodie helmets.
-Several shots didn't made the final cut, some of them made it into the final product, but only parts of it. For example the battle of Nanking was supposed to be more grusome than in the final product and the Battle Of Hong Kong is supposed to be extended. But there were more shots that didn't made it.

World War Two in Hong Kong in Their Eyes
Thanks for the chance Intensified Learning Opportunity Program (ILOP) under CEDARS, HKU, we create this video project under the theme of war and peace education for a more sustainable society. When considering social sustainability, the understanding and interpretation of local history is an indispensable part for people to comprehend their own identity and the relationship they have with others. In history, war is the cruelest part, when social sustainability faces one of the most fatal challenges. However, considering war as a huge process involving thousands of individuals, we seldom understand and memorize it at individual level. In this project, we intend to make a difference and contact with individuals who get involved in war or war legacy, to learn how war has influenced their life.
We reached out to Mr. Chan Sui-Jeung, a HKU alumnus who is also the author of East River Column: Hong Kong Guerrillas in the Second World War and After, talking about his own life experience during the wartime, as a starting point. Via Mr. Chan's connection, we interviewed two veterans of WWII in Hong Kong, Mr. Chow who was a courier of East River Column and helped the Allied to collect intelligence in the region, and Mr. Li, who was a member in the Guerrillas to fight against the Imperial Japanese Army. They all talked about their decision to actively act in war, the reasons behind, and the long-lasting influences till today. Finally, we interviewed Mr. Albert Ho, who is a legislative member while a lawyer for war victims in post-war era as well. From his story, we can see that the war legacy is still haunting for victims and far from solved. In this sense, what we can do for them, what we can learn from our past, what we can contribute for peace, are all questions left for you to consider.
For a thorough understanding for the period of the Japanese occupation in Hong Kong during WWII, you may refer to this website called Hong Kong War Dairy as well as these videos as follows via Youtube:

WW2 Japanese war crimes - Japanese Invasion of China 1937-1944 (World war II two -Asian Holocaust)
The total number of military and non-military casualties, both dead and wounded, at 35 million.[Most Western historians believed that the total number of casualties was at least 20 million.
The official PRC statistics for China's civilian and military casualties in the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1937 to 1945 are 20 million dead and 15 million wounded. The figures for total military casualties, killed and wounded are: NRA 3.2 million; Communist 500,000.
The official account of the war published in Taiwan reported that the Nationalist Chinese Army lost 3,238,000 men (1,797,000 wounded, 1,320,000 killed, and 120,000 missing) and 5,787,352 civilians casualties putting the total number of casualties at 9,025,352. The Nationalists fought in 22 major engagements, most of which involved more than 100,000 troops on both sides, 1,171 minor engagements most of which involved more than 50,000 troops on both sides, and 38,931 skirmishes.
An academic study published in the United States estimates military casualties: 1.5 million killed in battle, 750,000 missing in action, 1.5 million deaths due to disease and 3 million wounded; civilian casualties: due to military activity, killed 1,073,496 and 237,319 wounded; 335,934 killed and 426,249 wounded in Japanese air attacks.
According to historian Mitsuyoshi Himeta, at least 2.7 million civilians died during the kill all, loot all, burn all operation (Three Alls Policy, or sanko sakusen) implemented in May 1942 in north China by general Yasuji Okamura and authorized on December 3, 1941 by Imperial Headquarter Order number 575.
The property loss suffered by the Chinese was valued at 383 billion US dollars according to the currency exchange rate in July 1937, roughly 50 times the gross domestic product of Japan at that time (US$7.7 billion).
In addition, the war created 95 million refugees.
Japanese war crimes
Included with total war dead are victims of Japanese war crimes.
R. J. Rummel estimates the civilian victims of Japanese democide at 5,424,000. Detailed by country: China 3,695,000; Indochina 457,000; Korea 378,000; Indonesia 375,000; Malaya-Singapore 283,000; Philippines 119,000, Burma 60,000 and Pacific Islands 57,000.
Rummel estimates POW deaths in Japanese custody at 539,000 Detailed by country: China 400,000; French Indochina 30,000; Philippines 27,300; Netherlands 25,000; France 14,000; Britain 13,000; British Colonies 11,000; US 10,700; Australia 8,000.
Werner Gruhl estimates the civilian deaths at 20,365,000. Detailed by country: China 12,392,000; Indochina 1,500,000; Korea 500,000; Dutch East Indies 3,000,000; Malaya and Singapore 100,000; Philippines 500,000; Burma 170,000; Forced laborers in Southeast Asia 70,000, 30,000 interned non-Asian civilians; Timor 60,000; Thailand and Pacific Islands 60,000.
Gruhl estimates POW deaths in Japanese captivity at 331,584. Detailed by country: China 270,000; Netherlands 8,500; Britain 12,433; Canada 273; Philippines 20,000; Australia 7,412; New Zealand 31; and the United States 12,935.
Out of 60,000 Indian Army POWs taken at the Fall of Singapore, 11,000 died in captivity.
There were 14,657 deaths among the total 130,895 western civilians interned by the Japanese due to famine and disease
WWII Stories: How China United & Chemical Warfare
Episode 6. Unity is Strength: During World War II, most countries that possessed chemical weapons did not use the weapons in battle.
Japan did not only use chemical weapons on battlefield of China, but also conducted biological warfare recklessly in many areas of China, such as the Northeast, North China, Central China, South China and vast areas in Southwest China.
Burmese Campaign in World War II - The Stilwell Road (1945)
Armies from different nations and walks of life come together in a truly epic struggle to open a supply route that would aid the Chinese and American forces in an effort to resist the Japanese from overrunning the entire Asian theater. The Stilwell Road was produced by the American Office of War Information and the British and Indian film units in 1945 detailing the creation of the Ledo Road, also known as the Stilwell Road after the U.S. General Joseph 'Vinegar Joe' Stilwell. The film concentrates mostly on the importance of the Burma Campaign and the Burma Road in supplying Chinese and American forces in resisting the Japanese from occupying the entire Pacific theater.
This film is narrated by Ronald Reagan.

The dark history of conscription and forced labor behind Japan's Hashima Island,
하시마섬 유네스코 세계유산 등재 2년... 그 후?
Hashima island.
One of dozens of controversial sites Japan has pushed to gain UNESCO World Heritage recognition.
A proud symbol of Japan's rapid industrialization.
Contrary to the image Tokyo is promoting it's where hundreds of Koreans were taken and forced into labor in deadly undersea coal mines.
Oh Jung-hee met with the few survivors to hear their stories.
A 15-second-long video has been lighting up New York's Times Square since Monday.
It aims to shed light on a less well-known aspect of Hashima Island -- one of Japan's UNESCO World Heritage sites.
It's a fact that the island is listed as a world heritage site. So our ad starts with this fact, and then delves deeper into forced conscription and the 120 victims. It ends by saying that Hashima's true name is 'island of hell.'
Roughly 15 kilometers away from the city of Nagasaki in southwestern Japan... lies the uninhabited island of Hashima.
Surrounded by a sea wall, and full of abandoned concrete buildings,... the island resembles a battleship, which is why it's commonly called Gunkanjima or Battleship Island.
The island is recognized as a symbol of Japan's rapid industrialization,... but has a dark history of conscription and forced labor.
From 1940 to 1945, five hundred to eight hundred Koreans were forcibly taken to Hashima Island.
Kim Hyung-seob is one of them.
The exact date that he was taken to Japan -- November 17th, 1943 -- is one he can never forget.
I don't even want to talk about it. I can't explain how much we suffered. Eating was the biggest problem. They gave us dried sweet potato, beans and bean dregs. That's what they called 'food' for us.
Korean laborers were neither well-fed nor well-paid..
And they had to spend more than 12 hours a day in the coal mine,... which is 1-thousand meters under the sea.
Lee In-un is another survivor.
He says... some laborers desperately tried to escape from 'hell'... but failed.
The land was visible from the island. It was right across the sea. Some tried to escape by swimming and holding onto wooden panels. But they died.
The dreary atmosphere of Hashima island can be seen through these photos here. And what's clearly noticeable is the difference in living environments between Japanese citizens and Korean laborers. The Japanese citizens living in modern, newly built apartments. In contrast, five hundred to eight hundred Korean laborers were crammed into these small buildings.
Hashima Island was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015,... as one of the places symbolizing Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution.
When Japan got the endorsement of the UNESCO advisory committee ICOMOS, Korea strongly protested against it,... claiming that having these places as world heritage sites hurts the victims' and UNESCO's dignity.
At the 2015 UNESCO official meeting, Japan, for the first time on the international stage,... acknowledged there was forced labor.
There were a large number of Koreans and others who were brought against their will and forced to work under harsh conditions in the 1940s at some of the sites.
But that was immediately reversed by the Japanese foreign minister Fumio Kishida.
The expression 'forced to work' does not mean 'forced labor.'
ICOMOS recommended that Japan take measures to help visitors understand the 'full history' of the sites... and Japan promised to establish information and commemoration centers.
While an implementation report on that is due December 1st this year,... not much action has been taken within Japan.
According to what we're hearing from civil groups in Japan,... signboards installed at the facilities don't explain at all about conscription and forced labor. Rather, the authorities are interviewing the Japanese people who lived on the island back then... who say Hashima was not an 'island of hell' like what Koreans say.
The Korean government is to raise the issue at the annual UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting... currently taking place in Poland.
The government expressed regret that no tangible measures have been taken in Japan over the last two years... and highlighted Japan's promise is not only an agreement with Korea, but with the whole world.
Having an agreed view on history and remembering it is crucial in heading toward the future.
For Korea, the first step would be recognizing Hashima Island and others as legacies of Japan's industrialization... and for Japan, to face the fact that colonization contributed to its industrialization.

The facial prosthetics of World War I
Why World War I's wounded needed a sculptor.
Subscribe to our channel!
World War I’s horrors not only resulted in death, but severe disfigurement. When plastic surgeons were unable to heal the wounded, a unique solution came in play: sculpting.
Facial prostheses in World War I were a new solution to a difficult problem, and sculptor and writer Anna Coleman Ladd led these efforts for the American Red Cross in France. She made more than 150 masks for the wounded in an effort to provide some semblance of normalcy after their severe injuries.
These masks were made by making casts of the wounded faces, and then sculpting restored faces from that. Those sculptures were then used as a cast for thin copper-plated attachments, which were then attached to the wounded soldier’s face and painted. Though the process wasn’t restorative, it did provide some comfort to the wounded.
That experience shaped Anna Coleman Ladd’s art as well. When she returned to America, she was willing to depict the horrors of war in her War Memorial, as well as the possibility for a new and better day ahead.

Auschwitz: Drone video of Nazi concentration camp - BBC News
Drone video shows the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp as it is today - 70 years after it was liberated by Soviet troops. The camp in Poland is now maintained as a World Heritage Site and is visited by thousands of tourists and survivors every year. Auschwitz was the largest camp established by the Germans during World War II. More than a million people - the vast majority of them Jews - died there between 1940, when it was built, and 1945, when it was liberated by the Soviet army.
Railway tracks into Auschwitz-Birkenau - Trains filled with victims from throughout occupied Europe arrived at the camp almost every day between 1942 and the summer of 1944.
Ruins of wooden huts at Birkenau - Birkenau (or Auschwitz II) was erected in 1941 solely as a death camp, the wooden huts are now in ruins with only brick fireplaces and chimneys remaining.
Entrance to Auschwitz I -The wrought-iron sign over the entrance bears the words Arbeit Macht Frei - Work sets you free.
Auschwitz I - The brick-built buildings were the former cavalry barracks of the Polish Army.
Courtyard between blocks 10 and 11 at Auschwitz I - Block 11 was called the Block of Death by prisoners. Executions took place between Block 10 and Block 11 and posts in the yard were used to string up prisoners by their wrists.
Auschwitz Birkenau is now a museum run by the Polish Culture Ministry, and a Unesco world heritage site.
