Description
[Machine Translation] [The first stand-alone version of "Den of Tank Commander Nishizumi" included in the DVD-BOX of "Shochiku Senso Eiga no Kiseki (Trails of War Films)" released on July 29, 2015. Based on Hiroshi Kikuchi's biography "Showa no Gunjin Nishizumi Tanshin Chou den" (The Military God of the Showa Period: A Biography of Tank Commander Nishizumi), the film was written by Kozo Noda and directed by Kozaburo Yoshimura. The film is a biography of Kojiro Nishizumi, a platoon commander of a tank regiment, and includes footage shot during the war, giving the film an overall documentary touch. The film is not a mere propaganda piece, but rather a look into the inner life of a soldier. The appearance of actual tanks and firearms is also a highlight. --The film tells the story of Lieutenant (posthumously Captain) Kojiro Nishizumi (Ken Uehara), a platoon leader of the 1st Kurume Tank Regiment, which was very active on the Chinese front before World War II, and his warm interactions with his men and the local people until he was shot down by a bullet after a fierce battle.
