All I found is this

Anko Mitarashi, in discussion with the Third Hokage about Orochimaru's immense strength and threat to the village, stated that she wished the Fourth had been alive to face him. At a young age, he single-handedly rescue Kushina Uzumaki from three Kumogakure ninja During the Third Shinobi World War, flee-on-sight orders were given to enemy shinobi should they ever see him appear on the battlefield. In the anime, he alone defeated a thousand Iwa shinobi in one battle, later prompting Ōnoki to immediately consider accepting a peace treaty from Konohagakure

That is just a myth
I believe it truly is. Tobirama lost to 20 shinobis easily. I know those 20 were very elite ones.

But for Minato to kill 1000 shinobis, even if they were fodders, it's still illogical.

Both of them use Hiraishin.

All I found is this
So it's anime only then. Not canon.

Thanks for this. So I guess it was never stated in the manga that he killed 1000 shinobis.
It seems it is only canon in the anime as a statement but not in the manga
Not in the manga = Not canon.
