Battle of Britain film – but what language?

Just putting the finishing touches to an article for a certain magazine.

Can anybody confirm please 100% the language of this film poster?

Romanised version of Japanese main title (in red Kanji): ‘Kugun Dai Senryaku’

‘Kugun’ = Air Force/literally ‘Air Army’

‘Dai’ = Great/Large

‘Senryaku’ = [strategic] Battle

First line “Technicolor ultra wide frame Panavision”
Second row is cast listing.

Line below the red script indeed says “…the story had been forensically examined and was deeply impressive. I knew that the whole story was a load of myth and baloney…”

Maybe someone can translate the rest?

‘Undeserved Marginal Battle Victory of the Imperial Warmongers!’

Maybe? Just a guess.

Japanese katakana. Main title in red is kanji, with ‘battle’ in there (3rd and 4th-from-last characters).

EDIT: battle in kanji: [ATTACH=CONFIG]250622[/ATTACH]

Maybe someone can translate the rest!
