It's City of Life and Death, a Chinese film from 2009. Found out the title by looking at the last comment beneath the video. ;p But yeah, it's a bit weird to link to a scene from a movie and present it as historical fact as if it was real footage of the event. I can imagine that it looked and sounded a lot like in the movie but it's still just a scene from a film, not something you can throw around to prove something.

I wasn't really trying to prove something. I just wanted to share something. I know, I should of just said, "here is an interesting scene from a movie" instead of presenting the scene like it's from real life.

Here's a chilling read:

(don't look at before bedtime)

Yep, the US didn't declare war on Germany until after Pearl Harbor. While Roosevelt might have felt differently, Congress and probably most citizens, were still in an isolationist state of mind - they did not want to get involved in another "European" war. The Roosevelt administration supplied the Allies as an alternative.

Well, the US already reacted to Japanese military aggression through economic means. The US was Japan's largest oil supplier at the time (sounds funny now) and they basically cut off the supply. That essentially was what prompted the Japanese to declare war on the US.

After I wrote my post I felt maybe I was a little harsh, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the above.

BTW, China and Japan still argue over the number of casualties at Nanking. Japan says no more than 150K, China says 300K. From what I've read, most scholars believe the real number is somewhere in the middle.

If you want the honest truth, the US was supplying both the Allies and the Axis. US companies up until we entered WWII were the largest suppliers of industrial goods to Germany.

Check your facts, if you can still find them. That part of history is getting harder and harder to find. Kind of like how Bayer was a supporter of the Nazi party and so was BMW.

Interesting, must of been the site. I fixed the links though.

Before telling people to check their facts, you might want to understand what those people were saying in the first place. US companies are different from "the US" as in the government. Since the US was not at war with Germany and did not have a trade embargo, there was nothing to stop companies from exporting goods to Germany. The US government, on the other hand, was sending supplies to the Allies, not the Axis. At least I've never read, heard or watched anything that indicated otherwise.

Thats not surprising considering they are German companies.

Still does the same thing. This is probably why, underneath the "Top Secret' image: "You do not have permission to access the page or resource. It is possible you have arrived here by an image being hotlinked from another site. This site's policies do not allow hotlinking of images and other resources without permission."

Yes, but anyone with knowledge knows US companies run the US. ;) And to an increasing degree each year, foreign companies are starting to control the US more and more.

This was common knowledge, even before the internet replaced books in libraries.
