3)  Manchuria: The Forgotten Victory

The remarkable Soviet victory over the once mighty Japanese Kwangtung Army group in the mountains of Manchuria is one of the least known of the Second World War. This was no steam roller triumph of greater numbers and brute force but a victory for superior weaponry, brilliant tactical use of surprise and bold command that was achieved in little more than a fortnight.

After the outbreak of the Pacific war, the Kwangtung army transfers its best men and heaviest weapons to the islands in the Pacific. Then, despite a non-aggression pact between the two countries, Russia launches Operation August Storm. Totally unaware and taken by surprise, the Kwangtung army is soon given the order of surrender from Emperor Hirohito. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are taken to Soviet POW camps in Siberia and Mongolia.

This documentary chronicles the little-known victory of the Russian forces over the Japanese army at Manchuria. Archive footage and modern graphics are used to demonstrate how the Russian deployment of superior weaponry and daring strategy combined with bold leadership and the tactic of surprise to win the day.
