Battles of Khalkin Gol, Lego history animation

Japan fights with Soviet Union in May-August 1939
Actually a really important local war, had a great influence on upcoming WW2.
In this video for educational purposes was used a map from history channel "Kings and Generals" ‪@KingsandGenerals‬
Soviet song used in this video is called "Khalkin Gol campaign song": • Походная Халхин-Гольск...

Ok, looks like need to clarify. Many people really think now that Japan conducted suicide truck attacks in 1939 against Soviets. That is not true. My animation is based on the movie "My way" and I liked that battle scene, however it's a fiction, not history authentic scene. It's a kind of bright fairytale for interesting picture. Japan army did not have any suicide squads until the end of the war period... like 1945. And not trucks, they did not have enough oil for those things. So the movie "My way" and my animation inspired by that movie is a fiction story.

I am a university student in Japan. Thank you for a wonderful video. The Nomonhan Incident was a tactical and strategic defeat for the Japanese army, but the reflection of Nomonhan was not used at all in the subsequent world war. A mouth seal was made. The Soviet Army's final offensive caused heavy casualties among field officers, while some troops managed to escape from the encirclement. These "surviving field officers" were forced to commit suicide by Japanese military commanders. As a result, Lieutenant Colonel Ioki and others Many officers who experienced combat with the Soviet armored forces, which was probably the world's leading at that time, were driven to self-determination. In addition, the surviving soldiers were sent to the fierce battlefields in the subsequent wars with China and the United States after strict gag orders were laid. I can't help but feel sorry for the soldiers on the ground who fought to the end, following reckless orders from headquarters in Tokyo and Shinkyo without a purpose.

On the serious military history side of this, the Japanese Army and air forces were exposed at Khalkin Gol. An entire Japanese Independent Army was basically annihilated by three Soviet armies. Japanese soldiers were prohibited from stopping to help a wounded comrade and had little training in battle first aid and no first aid kits. Japanese tactics were completely offensive oriented, every man was to attack and helping wounded soldiers was seen as cowardly. Japanese logistics proved terribly inadequate, as did command & control, communications and sanitary/medical services. Also, the open terrain did not favor Japanese offense against modern weapons; Japan was later much more effective in the jungles and islands.

My grandfather served in Kwantung army in Manchukuo between 1944-1945. He was captured as POW by the Red Army in '45 thru '50, and finally returning to Japan after 5 years of brutal physical labor in Siberia. He did not fight in the battle of Khalkin Gol, but he did see his friends and comrades die in both Manchuria and Siberian POW camps. I believe this side of WW2 is overshadowed by the Pacific War and war in Europe. I wish more people will recognize battles and history of war in the far east.
