[About Wipe out Americans and Britons]

I first have to point out that this music contains the most extreme and tasteless contents among Japanese military songs. I provide this translation just as one historical data.

This music is a theme song of Propaganda movie Beiei gekimetsu no uta made in 1944. "Wipe out Americans and Britons!"(Beiei gekimetsu!) was a slogan in Japan during the Pacific War.
