2min @AP_Archive clip - Pearl Harbor - 1941 | Movietone Moments | 7 Dec

Text from youtube "On this day in 1941 the Imperial Japanese Navy carried out a surprise attack on the United States Pacific Fleet and its defending Army and Marine air forces at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

The world knows that the Japanese attacked the American Naval Base without warning, these pictures show something of how the civil population suffered.

Japanese planes fly over and fires rage in Waikiki. Refugees run hither and thither. AA guns fire and the injured are cared for. The children play in a communal nursery. Afterwards, shots of wreckage and a damaged car. The story ends with pictures of a captured Jap. two man submarine which helped in the attack against the US Fleet in Pearl Harbour.
