Rare film of the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, 1941. It's narrated in Italian but the footage is top-notch, from the Japanese side. Click "CC" for subtitles, then "Subtitles/CC" -> "Auto-translate".

They didn't have uniforms at the start of the war. Men went into battle wearing a belt and a cockade on their hats. It was a slur against the boring-ass Japanese uniforms.
