The Scorched Earth(1942)

Once upon a time, the nation of Japan was not home to the peace-loving Japanese people that live there today but, rather, soulless sadistic devils called The Japs. Among The Japs’ many anti-social activities was not only the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but the full-scale invasion of China, the latter of which is chronicled in The Scorched Earth through remarkable – and probably quite rare – documentary footage which must’ve made audiences gasp in the pre-CNN days when one’s only glimpse of worldwide events came from the black & white newsreels at the local Bijou.
