Imperial Japanese Army Parade on the Birthday of the Emperor- 29 April 1944

During WWII, Imperial Japan continued its tradition of holding military parades on important days, even when the war situation became more and more critical. The last large military parade held by Japan was a New Years parade in early January 1945. After the devastating bombing of Tokyo in March 1945, no more big parades were held untill the end of the war. One of these military parades was held every year on the birthday of the Emperor. Hirohito, the Japanese Emperor from 1926 to 1989, was born on April 29th, 1903, and this day was considered one of the most important events in Japan. This video shows footage from the 1944 parade, including scenes of infantry, tanks, and cavalry units marching past the Emperor, and a unit of bomber flying overhead. It also shows foreign dignitaries, including German military officers, attending the parade. . Subtitles made by me.
