German Thoughts on Japanese Forces #FromTheArchives

What did the German Army think about the Japanese Army? There is a report from 1938 about the Japanese and Chinese performance and experiences in the Second Sino-Japanese War. It covers various topics like motorization and air-ground cooperation, but the concluding remarks about the Japanese Forces for an upcoming "Great War" ("großen Krieg") are especially interesting.
This is the first video in the "from the Archives" series, where I take a look at primary sources and add some context and discussion.
