"Stilwell Road" - 1947 Documentary

Plenty of detail about the fluid and risky military situation make this documentary worthwhile.  It has Allied film footage, captured Imperial Japanese film footage, a very few (identified) reenactments so that historic speech could be audible, and graphics that are simple, clear, yet detailed.

It has all the big brass, plus Merrill, Wingate, GIs, various Allied soldiers, C-47s, and Army mules.

RR provides the narration.

It's up on youtube as well as available on Netflix.  Highly recommended.
