The Seoul Metropolitan Government on Tuesday disclosed the video which had been stored at the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration for nearly seven decades.
Dating back to September 15th, 1944, the video clip is presumed to have been filmed by Private Baldwin of the U.S. Army Signal Corps' 164th Photographic Unit at a site in Tengchong city in western Yunnan province in China.
The 19-second black and white clip shows Korean sex slaves being shot and their bodies disposed of.
Some 70 to 80 Korean sex slaves are estimated to have been in Japanese military camps in Tengchong and Songshan in Yunnan Province.
The Seoul government said that excluding 23 who were captured as prisoners by U.S.-China allied forces after Japanese soldiers were defeated, most of the women in the two regions were massacred by Japanese soldiers shortly before Japan lost the war.
