(Original Caption) Japan's teeming millions are now firmly in the grip of war fever. A stream of money is pouring into the war office in Tokyo as a result of street collections conducted by school children and every conceivable organization. Schoolgirls on vacation are returning to school voluntarily to fashion gifts for the Japanese soldiers fighting in China. This photo shows girls of the 8th Prefectural High School in Tokyo, making 2,000 comfort bags for the soldiers.

Info, Dokumentation

In wenigen Wochen wurde ein riesiges Reich geschaffen: Die Episode beginnt mit dem Sieg in Malaya und dem Fall von Singapur. Dann fallen die Philippinen und Birma, und Thailand wird zu einem Bündnis gezwungen. An der Heimatfront jubeln die Menschen und es werden Geschenke an alle Haushalte verteilt. Doch die Erfolge führen zu einem logistischen Albtraum. Die Auswirkungen der mangelnden Zusammenarbeit zwischen der kaiserlichen japanischen Armee und der kaiserlichen Marine werden erforscht. Nur sechs Monate nach Pearl Harbor beginnt der Krieg zu kippen.
