The Battle of Karafuto (NHK World War 2 Documentary. Unknown, fascinating, and obscure history).

This is a documentary about a little-known WW2 theater of the Japanese Pacific War: the conflict between the Soviet Union and the Japanese Empire over the Prefecture of Karafuto (now known as the southern half of Sakhalin Island) in the final month of battle, August 1945. This is still a hushed and contentious issue among very conservative Japanese to this very day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karafuto_Prefecture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_South_Sakhalin
