In color over Japan before 1945.

Until now.
3
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:33,700
For eight years, the Japanese fought
What he believed was a holy war,
4
00:00:33,730 --> 00:00:36,450
It became a fight to the death.

With the original color film,
Letters and diaries,
6
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:54,300

I said to my daughter:Do not cry.
Referring to Fig.

Dry your tears now.
Referring to Fig.

See your father's exit with a smile.

My dear wife.
eleven
00:01:23,810 --> 00:01:25,410
The dream ends happily.
12
00:01:26,050 --> 00:01:29,950
Tomorrow, I'm going to throw my
Plane against an enemy ship.
13
00:01:31,420 --> 00:01:35,420
When I think of the future,
My heart is broken.
14
00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:43,040
For 2600 years, our empire
Has never known defeat.
fifteen
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,450
The key to success
Depends on faith in victory.
16
00:02:10,020 --> 00:02:13,120
This old movie
In color, July 1937
17
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,500
Shows one of the
Sacred holidays in Japan
18
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:19,880
The Matsuri Tenjin.
19
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:27,850
Less than 70 years ago
The emperor was restored in power
twenty
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,090
And Japan begins
The transformation of an isolated feudal state
twenty-one
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,880
To gain more power in Asia.
22
00:02:38,590 --> 00:02:41,580
But behind this
Race towards modernity,
2. 3
00:02:41,610 --> 00:03:44,570
There is a deep fear of
The Western domination.
24
00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:57,530
Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is now
One of the largest cities in the world.
25
00:02:59,210 --> 00:03:03,560
It is the heart of an empire
Which already includes Taiwan and Korea.
26
00:03:08,050 --> 00:03:09,600
Shiro Iwata.
27
00:03:10,850 --> 00:03:15,450
At present, Japan should not
Enclosed in its own small sphere.
28
00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:20,760
Neither should he stay
In its position in the East.
29
00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:26,210
Japan bears the burden of a global mission.
30
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:30,850
Must go to
Lead the world.
31
00:03:48,890 --> 00:03:52,440
Japan is the first
Industrialized country in Asia.
32
00:03:52,890 --> 00:03:56,590
In 1937, Nissan launched
Your first luxury car
33
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,950
The Datsun 6 cylinders, model 70.
3. 4
00:04:02,070 --> 00:04:06,370
There are plans to export
First for Australia.
35
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,480
They have a new slogan.
36
00:04:10,610 --> 00:04:14,310
Datsun is the car and the
Rising Sun is the flag.
37
00:04:23,890 --> 00:04:27,310
With your newborn
Discovery of international position
38
00:04:27,340 --> 00:04:30,730
Japan should also
Tackling global problems.
39
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:38,410
The recent global depression that began with
The fall of Wall Street, the United States
40
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,960
Caused widespread poverty
And a climate of political extremism.
41
00:04:46,580 --> 00:04:50,030
Tadashi Konuma, son of
22 years of a peasant.
42
00:04:52,650 --> 00:04:54,880
Like us, the peasants,
Let's survive
43
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,420
We have to get money from the usurers
Which charge very high interest rates.
44
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,550
Those who work
Hard to grow rice
Four. Five
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,650
They can not give up
Give yourself the luxury of eating.
46
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,300
Japan is becoming a
Country where it is not worth living.
47
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,840
So I am
Determined to devote myself to the revolution.
48
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:25,580
Konuma was part of an extremist group,
Blood brothers
49
00:05:26,290 --> 00:05:30,040
And, on a street in Tokyo
Kills a government minister.
fifty
00:05:33,190 --> 00:05:37,490
The procession of Japan with the
Parliamentary government begins to deteriorate.
51
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,650
A wave of murders
And coup attempts
52
00:05:46,110 --> 00:05:49,760
Reproduces Japanese weapons
Military extremists.
53
00:05:52,110 --> 00:05:54,410
Liberal politician Korekiyo Takahashi.
54
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,690
If you talk
Of The Bad of the Army,
55
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,660
Military policy draws its swords
56
00:06:06,060 --> 00:06:08,960
Or you point
A weapon or threaten you.
57
00:06:10,130 --> 00:06:14,780
When a journalist from Kyushu
I wrote something bad about the Army
58
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,890
Threatened to put
An airplane on the chart
59
00:06:21,910 --> 00:06:24,410
And said that they were going to bomb her.
60
00:06:25,750 --> 00:06:28,850
While the military are making
Stronger in power
61
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,920
Takahashi is killed.
62
00:06:38,990 --> 00:06:40,590
The 18 of March of 1937.
63
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,500
The younger brother of Emp. Hirohito,
Prce. Chichibu,
64
00:06:46,530 --> 00:06:48,330
Leaves Japan to Europe.
65
00:06:48,370 --> 00:06:52,270
One of his assistants
Records the trip in a color film.
66
00:06:53,570 --> 00:06:56,970
This is the first time
That the movie is shown.
67
00:06:59,110 --> 00:07:01,860
The prince's first stop is London
68
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,470
To represent the emperor
During the coronation of King George VI.
69
00:07:06,990 --> 00:07:09,340
Allies in World War I,
70
00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:14,420
Japan and Great Britain are
Now, imperial rivals in the Far East.
71
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:19,200
Premier Winston Churchill.
72
00:07:20,970 --> 00:07:24,770
I have written many times
In the German rearmament.
73
00:07:24,910 --> 00:07:27,160
Let's have a look at Japan
74
00:07:28,540 --> 00:07:33,290
Here again, a nation
Full of dreams of war and conquest
75
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:38,050
Where all the voices
Are silenced by death.
76
00:07:44,990 --> 00:07:50,140
Celebrations include coronation
Of a magazine of the Royal Navy in Spithead,
77
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,700
Opposite the Portsmouth coast.
78
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:58,990
The Imperial Navy of Japan
Represented by the Cross. Ashigara.
79
00:08:00,910 --> 00:08:02,560
Com. Tota Ishimaru.
80
00:08:04,580 --> 00:08:08,530
Unless Japan
Suspend your expansion policy
81
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,430
Or that the United Kingdom should abandon its
Prestige preservation policy
82
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,810
An Anglo-Japanese war
It is not a silly dream.
83
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,260
Wake up, town of England.
84
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:25,520
The time has changed.
85
00:08:26,670 --> 00:08:30,920
You can not follow
Doing what they did in the past.
86
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,590
Prince Chichibu
Continues his tour of Europe
87
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,380
Like a holiday in Switzerland.
88
00:08:42,850 --> 00:08:48,450
Japan had recently signed
An anti-Soviet pact with Nazi Germany.
89
00:08:51,060 --> 00:08:53,810
The Tokyo government orders the prince
90
00:08:53,830 --> 00:08:58,880
Interrupt your vacation, and
Meet the new ally of Japan
91
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:07,510
In September, the prce. Chichibu
Arrives in germany
92
00:09:08,980 --> 00:09:12,580
And receives all
Honors of their Nazi hosts.
93
00:09:16,250 --> 00:09:20,750
You are invited to attend the
Great annual demonstration in Nuremberg
94
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:24,010
And meet
The Nazi leader.
95
00:09:41,380 --> 00:09:43,780
In a reception to the Japanese ambassador
96
00:09:46,510 --> 00:09:49,610
The German people bring the great nation of Japan
97
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:52,240
His admiration without limits.
98
00:09:52,650 --> 00:09:57,750
I am happy to say that,
On the grounds of a spiritual union
99
00:09:58,090 --> 00:10:03,340
The relations between our two nations
Have been marked by sincere friendship.
100
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,690
Japan already has its
Own fascist party.
101
00:10:11,170 --> 00:10:12,970
Directed by Seigo Nakano.
102
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,840
Hitler is a man of
Strength of will and sincerity.
103
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:23,150
No word that expresses is vulgar.
104
00:10:25,790 --> 00:10:29,490
He is a hero who
Defeated Germany up
105
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,120
To execute a new world order.
106
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,960
Japan has to maintain
The pact with Germany.
107
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:40,070
Which shares our frustrations.
108
00:10:47,740 --> 00:10:51,850
Germany wants to control Europe
109
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,950
Japan wants to dominate Asia.
110
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,020
The question is whether
To be made by peaceful means
111
00:10:58,090 --> 00:10:59,640
Or by means of war.
112
00:11:11,070 --> 00:11:14,970
China, the neighboring giant
Of Japan in Asia.
113
00:11:16,770 --> 00:11:21,920
To protect their interests, Japan
Has maintained a military presence here
114
00:11:22,010 --> 00:11:24,660
Since before the First World War.
115
00:11:27,050 --> 00:11:29,000
But now they want more.
116
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:32,630
In 1931, Chinese troops were attacked
117
00:11:34,190 --> 00:11:37,090
By radical elements of the Japanese army.
118
00:11:38,260 --> 00:11:40,860
They took the province of Manchuria
119
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,400
Against the will of
The liberal government in Tokyo.
120
00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:51,770
Colonel Kanji Ishiwara, leader of the rebels.
121
00:11:54,810 --> 00:11:57,560
That the government does what it wants.
122
00:11:58,750 --> 00:12:03.200
The Army will comply with this
Sacred mission to save China.
123
00:12:04,490 --> 00:12:08,490
The Last War in Human History
approximates.
124
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,540
A gigantic world conflict
125
00:12:11,290 --> 00:12:16,140
Which will be the threshold
To a golden age of human culture.
126
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,350
The only option is to move towards a united Asia.
127
00:12:29,310 --> 00:12:33,360
Now, the right-wing military
Dominate the government of Tokyo.
128
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:35,500
In July 1937,
129
00:12:36,250 --> 00:12:40,790
An incident between Japanese troops
And Chinese, on the outskirts of Beijing,
130
00:12:40,820 --> 00:12:41,890
Leads to war.
131
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,340
The high command sends reinforcements to China.
132
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,780
Thousands of men between the ages of 20 and 40
Are invited to the competition.
133
00:13:09,220 --> 00:13:13,070
The government promises that
The war is going to win in a month.
134
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:24,050
When I arrived, the band was playing.
135
00:13:24,770 --> 00:13:26,920
And the people shouting "Banzai".
136
00:13:28,570 --> 00:13:32,770
Do not Cry. Cleanse your tears.
137
00:13:35,380 --> 00:13:38,480
See his father's departure with a smile.
138
00:13:40,180 --> 00:13:43,130
I knew that if I show you my tears,
139
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:47,990
This just
It would cause more pain in my husband.
140
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,140
A group of entrepreneurs
Japanese do a Tour in Shanghai
141
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,440
Towards the conquest of the new empire.
142
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,090
An event in color film.
143
00:14:13,850 --> 00:14:16,300
The film remained hidden for 65 years.
144
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:20,540
This is the first time it is displayed.
145
00:14:24,630 --> 00:14:26,930
After almost six months of the war,
146
00:14:27,090 --> 00:14:31,090
Most of East China
Is under Japanese rule.
147
00:14:31,230 --> 00:14:33,230
The fight was fierce and brutal.
148
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,140
About 20,000 Japanese soldiers died
149
00:14:41,540 --> 00:14:43,590
And more than 250,000 Chinese.
150
00:14:46,850 --> 00:14:48,950
Journal of the soldier Shiro Azuma.
151
00:14:51,220 --> 00:14:54,270
7,000 prisoners, all in one place.
152
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,710
I think how they became prisoners
153
00:15:01,930 --> 00:15:04,830
Without even trying any resistance?
154
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:11,100
They looked like a group of homeless people
155
00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:14,170
With blank expressions on their faces.
156
00:15:17,510 --> 00:15:21,910
I felt like an idiot only
To think we fought to the death
157
00:15:22,850 --> 00:15:25,100
Against these ignorant slaves.
158
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,510
On December 13, 1937,
159
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,950
It is announced that
The Chinese Capital, Nanking, had fallen.
160
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:58,180
Children from all over Japan were
Excused class to celebrate.
161
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,010
Journalist Shingoro Takaishi.
162
00:16:10,730 --> 00:16:13,330
I am proud of our soldiers.
163
00:16:14,700 --> 00:16:19,550
I'm sure they do not
To treat civilians so repulsive.
164
00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:24,130
There should be no images showing inhuman acts
165
00:16:24,380 --> 00:16:26,580
Committed by Japanese soldiers
166
00:16:27,310 --> 00:16:31,260
But it is unlikely that
What is shown is true.
167
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:49,250
Tadanobu Kurosu,
19a. Infantry Regiment in China
168
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,600
Reveals a different story.
169
00:16:54,380 --> 00:16:58,540
5,000 prisoners were taken
To the Yangtze River (Yellow River),
170
00:16:58,550 --> 00:17:01,200
To be executed by machine guns.
171
00:17:02,550 --> 00:17:05,750
Bayonets were used
To finish the job.
172
00:17:07,890 --> 00:17:10,140
I felt a demonic emotion
173
00:17:11,130 --> 00:17:14,830
While climbing on
Piles of corpses.
174
00:17:19,470 --> 00:17:21,520
The soldiers were old, young
175
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:25,640
Women and children.
176
00:17:28,510 --> 00:17:31,410
I've never felt anything like this in my life.
177
00:17:39,490 --> 00:17:41,690
In the censorship of the government of Japan
178
00:17:42,020 --> 00:17:46,320
Avoid any mention
Of incidents such as the "Nanking Rape".
179
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:51,760
For them, war is not a
Achievement and yes a release.
180
00:18:02,940 --> 00:18:04,440
May 4, 1938.
181
00:18:06,010 --> 00:18:09,710
Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini
Is located in Rome.
182
00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:15,950
Italy has just won the
Abyssinia and Alemania se anexa a Austria.
183
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,720
All we need now is
To Japan to complete the power shaft.
184
00:18:26,530 --> 00:18:29,330
A new world order is forming.
185
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:41,950
While the Japanese Imperial Army
Strives to conquer the vast Chinese territory,
186
00:18:41,980 --> 00:18:45,400
More and more soldiers are
Summoned for the fight.
187
00:18:46,590 --> 00:18:49,690
The promise of a victory of rapid evaporation.
188
00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:53,170
The war became a bloody stalemate.
189
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:59,100
Kunio Nakao wrote to his
Friend who has just been summoned.
190
00:19:00,870 --> 00:19:05,320
I beg the gods to
Say no going forward.
191
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,990
If so, it will be the end.
192
00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:15,060
If you come back, it will be just bones.
193
00:19:19,620 --> 00:19:22,320
Why sacrifice all these young people?
194
00:19:22,990 --> 00:19:25,940
Especially someone as good as you.
195
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,900
In the enthusiasm for the war,
China begins to fade.
196
00:19:50,580 --> 00:19:51,780
October 1938.
197
00:19:52,890 --> 00:19:55,840
The island of Hokkaido, in the north of Japan
198
00:19:57,930 --> 00:20:01,930
The marriage of Chieko Noguchi
And Lieutenant Naokichi Okita.
199
00:20:05,170 --> 00:20:09,370
When part naokichi to the front,
His wife is pregnant.
200
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:12,000
Dear Chieko.
201
00:20:13,070 --> 00:20:16,220
Thank you for loving me so much time.
202
00:20:16,380 --> 00:20:19,240
I will participate in the great battle
203
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,180
Of which the destiny of our country depends
204
00:20:22,850 --> 00:20:25,100
I can not wait to get back alive.
205
00:20:28,420 --> 00:20:34,170
Keep calm and work out
What happens with the help of their parents.
206
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,360
I hope our baby is born safely.
207
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,450
Chieko, you need to take
A good care of himself.
208
00:20:58,220 --> 00:21:00,120
In the country, the government starts
209
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:04,410
The Spirit Campaign
National Mobilization
210
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,410
For all involved
In the war effort.

Association of Women of National Defense,
212
00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:23,180
To raise money and
Prepare special package items
213
00:21:23,210 --> 00:21:25,030
Soldiers in the front.
214
00:21:26,510 --> 00:21:29,160
The whole nation is at war.
215
00:21:31,550 --> 00:21:36,900
In Physical Education classes, students
Have a military background to the practice.
216
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:40,230
Kikuia Sumita, twelve years old.
217
00:21:43,630 --> 00:21:48,680
This is the time when Japan
Needs the full support of his people.
218
00:21:52,970 --> 00:21:55,770
We are responsible for the future of Japan
219
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,430
Since we are the new generation.
220
00:22:00,950 --> 00:22:04,700
We have to live with
Strong and bright hearts.
221
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,610
On February 11, 1939,
222
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:17,530
Students celebrate the Day of the Empire,
On the outskirts of Tokyo's Imperial Palace.
223
00:22:19,530 --> 00:22:21,980
The worship of the emperor unites the nation.
224
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:27,750
He is seen as a living god,
Which expects unconditional obedience.
225
00:22:36,380 --> 00:22:39,730
His Imperial Majesty seems to incorporate everything.
226
00:22:44,690 --> 00:22:48,240
That is why He is able to inflame passions.
227
00:22:54,270 --> 00:22:56,870
For Japan, this war is holy.
228
00:23:06,380 --> 00:23:08,130
Wakana Nishihara est.
229
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,020
In England, it is said, "God save the king."
230
00:23:14,620 --> 00:23:17,370
With the help of God, the king rules.
231
00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:24,540
If it does not obey the divine will,
The people have the right to overthrow it.
232
00:23:26,370 --> 00:23:31,170
But in Japan, we found that
We must die for love of the emperor.
233
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,890
Therefore, no one can
Disobey an order to die for Him.
2. 3. 4
00:23:45,250 --> 00:23:48,350
The war is already raging in Europe
For nine months.
235
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,760
The Nazi "lightning-war", which begins
In Poland, has arrived in France.
236
00:23:55,860 --> 00:23:58,360
On the morning of June 23, 1940
237
00:23:59,130 --> 00:24:02,130
Hitler visits a defeated and abandoned Paris.
238
00:24:04,170 --> 00:24:07,400
The rate and degree of
Nazi victories in Europe
239
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,590
Convince Japanese leaders
To sign the pact with Germany and Italy.
240
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,820
Japanese troops occupy
Parts of French Indochina.
241
00:24:23,890 --> 00:24:27,790
Now, the Japanese Empire
It functions as a police state.
242
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:30,300
Full obedience is required.
243
00:24:32,670 --> 00:24:36,170
Any opposition is
Brutally repressed by Tokyo,
244
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,250
The Japanese police thought.
245
00:24:41,310 --> 00:24:43,660
Teacher's diary. Jiro Morishita.
246
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,680
By virtue of censorship, we can not
Speak openly about the war.
247
00:24:51,850 --> 00:24:55,250
Mr. Kagawa was arrested
Under suspicion of treason.
248
00:24:58,330 --> 00:25:02,730
According to the newspaper, he agreed
In the changes of the vision and the philosophy.
249
00:25:05,470 --> 00:25:06,970
I can not believe it.
250
00:25:13,940 --> 00:25:15,790
Great Britain and the United States
251
00:25:16,410 --> 00:25:21,210
Provide vital elements for the troops
Chinese fighting the Japanese.
252
00:25:23,420 --> 00:25:26,920
it is noted
As an act of aggression.
253
00:25:29,190 --> 00:25:31,490
Director of Risuke Kawamura School.
254
00:25:34,030 --> 00:25:38,560
While U.S.A. And England
Support China by sending arms
255
00:25:38,570 --> 00:25:40,670
This war will have no end.
256
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,340
Japan did not want to destroy China,
257
00:25:45,510 --> 00:25:48,410
But only to expel the British
And Americans.
258
00:25:54,650 --> 00:25:57,150
Japan has few natural resources
259
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,850
And there is no oil for
Feed their war machine.
260
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,020
The Western Powers
Imposed economic sanctions.
261
00:26:06,460 --> 00:26:10,400
When Japan refuses to
Immediately leave China,
262
00:26:10,430 --> 00:26:13,300
The West cuts off oil supplies.
263
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:20,100
Yoichi Yanagida is a student of Kyoto.
264
00:26:21,910 --> 00:26:25,860
The calls for
Army are more intense now.
265
00:26:27,350 --> 00:26:32,350
More than ever, I feel that
This is a moment of national emergency.
266
00:26:34,020 --> 00:26:38,370
Every second, it seems
You are about to fall into an abyss.
267
00:26:42,060 --> 00:26:44,460
When will this fatal moment come?
268
00:26:49,070 --> 00:26:50,820
September 24, 1941.
269
00:26:52,910 --> 00:26:57,710
The Naval Intelligence Service in Tokyo
Sends a secret message to Ag Yoshikawa
270
00:26:57,740 --> 00:26:59,560
Who lives in Pearl Harbor.
271
00:27:01,250 --> 00:27:04,050
Highly secret from this part onwards.
272
00:27:04,350 --> 00:27:07,950
We would like
Ship reports.
273
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,120
Especially warships and aircraft carriers,
274
00:27:12,690 --> 00:27:17,640
We need information about the
Which are anchored, moored on the pier
275
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,550
And in the shipyards.
276
00:27:34,050 --> 00:27:36,000
The 7 of December of 1941
277
00:27:37,250 --> 00:27:39,500
Japan launches a bold attack.

00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:48,920
Aircraft of the fleet of a giant surprise
Pacific American fleet at Pearl Harbor.
279
00:27:53,530 --> 00:27:57,530
The attack was filmed in
colors. Clyde Daughtry
280
00:28:00,010 --> 00:28:01,660
With your own camera.
281
00:28:05,410 --> 00:28:07,010
Over the past 60 years,
282
00:28:07,450 --> 00:28:11,550
The original colors of this
Colorless copy unnoticed.
283
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:13,520
until now.
284
00:28:14,950 --> 00:28:18,700
This is the first time the color is revealed.
285
00:28:24,660 --> 00:28:28,760
For two hours,
They punish American ships.
286
00:28:54,690 --> 00:29:00,340
The attack of Japanese pilots hurt
Seriously eight battleships, three cruisers
287
00:29:00,970 --> 00:29:03,120
And several other smaller boats.
288
00:29:04,370 --> 00:29:07,070
Only 29 Japanese aircraft are missing.
289
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,240
More than 2,400 Americans have died.
290
00:29:25,860 --> 00:29:29,360
The news of a great victory,
In Pearl Harbor
291
00:29:29,930 --> 00:29:31,680
Was announced this morning.
292
00:29:34,570 --> 00:29:37,670
The new prime minister,
General Hideki Tojo.
293
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,490
The key to success
It is our faith in victory.
294
00:29:52,850 --> 00:29:55,650
For 2600 years since its founding
295
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,460
Our empire has never known defeat.
296
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,860
It is time for our
100 million Japanese
297
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:10,330
Sacrifice everything for the good of our country.
298
00:30:16,740 --> 00:30:18,640
Housewife Tei Fujiwara.
299
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,430
I was very surprised by the news.
300
00:30:24,050 --> 00:30:27,750
I gave a tour of our
Garden with my baby and screaming
301
00:30:27,780 --> 00:30:31,400
"God, give us faith in our army."
302
00:30:34,060 --> 00:30:37,260
Yoshitaka Kojima, 12, is at school.
303
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,350
We hear the footsteps of our
Teacher to come to class.
304
00:30:46,410 --> 00:30:51,210
I was class leader and gave him
Order to uplift and revere.
305
00:30:52,910 --> 00:30:56,010
The first thing we talked about was our teacher
306
00:30:56,050 --> 00:31:00,000
"Japan started the war
Against the United States and England. "
307
00:31:00,990 --> 00:31:03,440
We were all very excited,
308
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:05,770
Applauding with joy.
309
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,510
The force that attacked Pearl Harbor
Includes five mini-submarines.
310
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,150
Four are destroyed and captured one.
311
00:31:19,170 --> 00:31:23,120
His commander is the first prisoner
Of Japanese War.
312
00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:27,110
Flag-bearer Kazuo Sakamaki.
313
00:31:29,050 --> 00:31:32,200
My willingness to
Dying or talking.
314
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,270
Becoming a prisoner is inexcusable.
315
00:31:36,990 --> 00:31:38,140
Even without weapons
316
00:31:39,190 --> 00:31:43,890
Use your teeth and fight to the
Last breath is the Japanese spirit.
317
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:55,410
With Japan's plans to
The conquest of Asia is already under way,
318
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,310
The British colony of
Hong Kong is under attack.
319
00:32:03,850 --> 00:32:06,950
The command of the Royal Navy's fleet in China
320
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,820
Is a symbol of domination
To the west in Asia.
321
00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:14,140
Chief of Operations of the 25th Japanese Army
322
00:32:14,590 --> 00:32:16,140
Colonel Masanobu Tsuji.
323
00:32:18,930 --> 00:32:23,580
The next big mission in Japan
Is to bear the benefits of freedom
324
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,040
To the natives of South Asia.
325
00:32:26,770 --> 00:32:30,720
For these people, Westerners
They are mere armed robbers
326
00:32:31,740 --> 00:32:34,590
While we
Japanese are his brothers.
327
00:32:36,550 --> 00:32:39,400
Therefore, we have to keep them submissive.
328
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,670
Japanese forces capture
Hong Kong on Christmas day 1941.
329
00:32:48,230 --> 00:32:50,980
There are invasions in the Philippines, Burma
330
00:32:52,930 --> 00:32:54,330
Malaysia and the United Kingdom.
331
00:32:57,940 --> 00:33:02,190
The biggest prize of all is the
Point of the peninsula of Malaysia.
332
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,831
The bastion of the
British empire in the Far East.
333
00:33:13,990 --> 00:33:17,240
Colonel Masanobu Tsuji by the invading troops.
334
00:33:20,060 --> 00:33:22,060
When you find the enemy
335
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,060
Consider avengers
336
00:33:25,370 --> 00:33:29,270
Finally face to face
With the murderers of his parents.
337
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,940
Here, in front of you, is a man whose death
338
00:33:32,970 --> 00:33:35,840
Illuminate their hearts with crushed hatred.
339
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,130
The current war is a clash between races.
340
00:33:41,380 --> 00:33:44,330
We have to get our just demands
341
00:33:45,250 --> 00:33:49,100
No thoughts
Of pity for Europeans.
342
00:33:50,490 --> 00:33:54,590
The enemy forces in the port of
Singapore were forced to surrender
343
00:33:54,620 --> 00:33:57,600

344
00:33:57,630 --> 00:33:59,550
With the capture of Singapore
3. 4. 5
00:33:59,870 --> 00:34:03,820
Japan imposes a
Humiliating defeat for the British empire.
346
00:34:06,570 --> 00:34:11,420
The Japanese Army submits a
British double strength of great.
347
00:34:13,350 --> 00:34:17,500
More than 100,000 British soldiers
And the empire of surrender.
348
00:34:18,890 --> 00:34:20,940
Singapore fell.
349
00:34:29,660 --> 00:34:31,460
February 19, 1942.
350
00:34:33,070 --> 00:34:37,370
In another bold attack, the same
Forces that attacked Pearl Harbor
351
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,000
Marinos are surprised
Of Australian Warfare, in Darwin.
352
00:34:47,450 --> 00:34:51,350
Eight ships sink and
More than 240 people die.
353
00:34:54,150 --> 00:34:59,000
The Japanese also started
Invasion of the Dutch East Indies.
354
00:34:59,690 --> 00:35:03,490
Your Dreams of Conquest
They are imperial.
355
00:35:08,470 --> 00:35:13,420
Six weeks later, after surfing
4000 miles across the Indian Ocean
356
00:35:13,770 --> 00:35:18,570
The same fleet is also surprising
The Royal Navy in Colombo, Ceylon.
357
00:36:20,610 --> 00:35:23,110
500 British sailors are killed.
358
00:35:24,050 --> 00:35:28,720
The new Japanese empire now
Covers more than a fifth of the world,
359
00:35:28,750 --> 00:35:32,020
Including vital
Asia oil fields.
360
00:35:35,460 --> 00:35:37,060
The diary of Sei Ito.
361
00:35:39,970 --> 00:35:44,220
When he hears the military song
"Will never leave us"
362
00:35:45,300 --> 00:35:47,600
My heart was beating with emotion.
363
00:35:48,340 --> 00:35:50,490
I was glad of the win.
364
00:35:50,980 --> 00:35:55,080
For us, the Japanese, will be accepted
As a first-class nation,
365
00:35:55,110 --> 00:36:00,630
We have no choice but to
Fight against the bourgeois Western class.
366
00:36:11,260 --> 00:36:13,060
The high command in Tokyo
367
00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:17,500
That he is convinced that what
Left the US fleet in the Pacific
368
00:36:17,530 --> 00:36:21,150
Can be destroyed in a
Great and decisive battle.
369
00:36:22,410 --> 00:36:26,610
The place we chose is the small
Island of Midway in the Pacific.
370
00:36:31,750 --> 00:36:34,750
On June 4, the Japanese aircraft attack.
371
00:36:42,330 --> 00:36:46,080
Commander of the Combined Fleet,
Alm. Isoroku Yamamoto.
372
00:36:47,170 --> 00:36:51,020
In the first year of the war
With the United States and England
373
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,740
I will deal with fury and
I will win victory after victory.
374
00:36:56,940 --> 00:36:59,390
But then, if the war continues
375
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,230
I have no expectation of success.
376
00:37:09,460 --> 00:37:13,210
Americans broke the
Japanese naval code.
377
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,010
This time, they are the
Japanese people who are surprised,
378
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,020
When American aircraft
Ambush their fleet.
379
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:29,020
Four Japanese aircraft carriers sink
380
00:37:29,410 --> 00:37:32,010
And more than 300 aircraft are destroyed.
381
00:37:34,250 --> 00:37:38,100
But Radio Tokyo announced
A new great victory.
382
00:37:41,420 --> 00:37:45,720
Our attack is punished more
Arrogant enemies, USA And England.
383
00:37:47,690 --> 00:37:50,190
Now they are afraid of us.
384
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,950
We must all celebrate this great victory.
385
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,030
The Truth About Midway Defeat
386
00:38:08,510 --> 00:38:10,760
Is not revealed to the Japanese people.
387
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,820
The actual number of victims is not revealed.
388
00:38:18,890 --> 00:38:22,690
For the high command in Tokyo
Is a military disaster.
389
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,850
Less than two years after Pearl Harbor,
390
00:38:34,170 --> 00:38:38,520
Is the Japanese Empire
Being attacked on all fronts.
391
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,930
The government of Tokyo continues
Hid the truth to the Japanese people.
392
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,970
Second Lieutenant Kinpei Matsouka.
393
00:38:54,190 --> 00:38:56,990
War is easy when you're winning,
394
00:38:57,730 --> 00:39:02,380
But it becomes very difficult
Become a defensive effort.
395
00:39:03,740 --> 00:39:08,840
I ask the Government, this war
Has a certain probability of being won?
396
00:39:12,580 --> 00:39:15,280
Or is the government in a continuous struggle,
397
00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:18,260
With only an empty dream of victory?
398
00:39:24,690 --> 00:39:28,390
On the domestic front, rationing
Begins to annoy.
399
00:39:30,030 --> 00:39:35,180
Food shortages even affect
Zoo animals in Ueno, Tokyo.
400
00:39:39,910 --> 00:39:42,310
Saburo Fukuda elephant controller.
401
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,730
In the morning, I received a call from my superior.
402
00:39:49,820 --> 00:39:54,370
We were instructed to sacrifice
All animals from poisoning.
403
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,320
When news is spread,
404
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,420
The zoo is flooded
With letters from children.
405
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,750
I was very surprised by the news.
406
00:40:06,500 --> 00:40:08,500
My mother started to cry.
407
00:40:10,170 --> 00:40:11,870
This war is terrible.
408
00:40:13,010 --> 00:40:16,560
I feel bad to know that Miss.
Hanako misses you, the ally
409
00:40:17,110 --> 00:40:19,510
I had to die for our country.
410
00:40:24,250 --> 00:40:28,050
Despite the protests, the
Poison the animals
411
00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:42,530
One week after the
D-Day, landings in Europe
412
00:40:42,540 --> 00:40:45,700
The North American fleet begins
The bombing of the Mariana Islands,
413
00:40:45,730 --> 00:40:47,400
In the Southwest Pacific.
414
00:40:50,210 --> 00:40:54,560
Is Takeo Yamauchi
Rooted in the island of Saipan.
415
00:40:57,350 --> 00:41:01,000
The sound is a giant drum
Echoing the sea.
416
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,610
It seemed like the screams of the devil in my ears.
417
00:41:12,260 --> 00:41:14,460
If the Mariana Islands are captured,
418
00:41:14,970 --> 00:41:19,120
Japan will reach the Bombers
Heavy Americans.
419
00:41:20,510 --> 00:41:23,210
The high command in Tokyo orders the cuts
420
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:25,560
That defend at all costs
421
00:41:29,450 --> 00:41:34,150
Sarg. Yamauchi. Americans
They move like a swarm of locusts.
422
00:41:34,490 --> 00:41:37,690
They are so small crawling on the water.
423
00:41:39,020 --> 00:41:41,970
I saw the flames coming out of
The American tanks.
424
00:41:45,260 --> 00:41:49,860
All the coming men
Died the first day.
425
00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:06,020
When the reports of the battle come to Tokyo
426
00:42:06,250 --> 00:42:11,350
The Imperial Navy aircraft
Received orders to attack the American fleet.
427
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:19,600
Commander in Chief Alm. Soemu Toyoda.
428
00:42:21,570 --> 00:42:24,220
The rise and fall of imperial Japan
429
00:42:25,270 --> 00:42:26,820
Depends on this battle.
430
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,440
All men must do everything they can.
431
00:42:39,550 --> 00:42:41,150
In the next 48 hours.
432
00:42:41,890 --> 00:42:46,340
More than 400 Japanese and
Three aircraft carriers are destroyed.
433
00:42:54,670 --> 00:42:57,820
For the Imperial Navy, it is a disaster.
434
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:11,570
At the beginning of July,
435
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,870
More than 25,000 soldiers
Japanese died in the Marianas.
436
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:27,950
Finally, you reach the end.
437
00:43:29,670 --> 00:43:31,920
I'm only 26 years old.
438
00:43:32,610 --> 00:43:37,360
I'm glad I fought the enemy,
Fulfilling my duty.
439
00:43:38,210 --> 00:43:41,060
Now, I'm going to become a god of war.
440
00:43:42,410 --> 00:43:47,360
It is unfortunate that the demons
Americans are treading imperial soil.
441
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,220
I'm going to be a ghost and
I will stay on this island
442
00:43:53,730 --> 00:43:57,930
Until the friendly forces
Restore the emperor's floor.
443
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:08,050
12 days later, Taro's visit
Is next to your body.
444
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,980
There is more horror before
That the Battle of the Marianas will come to an end.
445
00:44:24,020 --> 00:44:27,820
The Survivors of Combat
Are crammed into the caves.
446
00:44:33,330 --> 00:44:36,680
Americans treat
Code convince them to surrender.
447
00:44:38,170 --> 00:44:40,820
Nurse Shizuko Sugano, 18.
448
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,580
One of our soldiers
Brought a US pamphlet
449
00:44:47,610 --> 00:44:50,330
Saying:The war ended in Saipan.
450
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:56,280
Survivors should
Appear with your hands up.
451
00:44:57,190 --> 00:44:59,590
They have fulfilled their obligations.
452
00:45:02,290 --> 00:45:05,140
I think this is a big lie.
453
00:45:06,270 --> 00:45:11,600
We are all going to be crushed by the tanks
Or bitten to death by military dogs,
454
00:45:11,630 --> 00:45:14,150
If they are captured by the Americans.
455
00:45:19,210 --> 00:45:22,010
I think it's better to commit suicide.
456
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,920
Although some soldiers
Have chosen to surrender,
457
00:45:31,950 --> 00:45:33,170
Most refused.
458
00:45:35,230 --> 00:45:39,130
Hidden among them
There are thousands of women and children.
459
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:44,270
Years of government propaganda
About the "Americans of evil"
460
00:45:45,070 --> 00:45:47,120
Leads to a terrible tragedy.
461
00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:51,180
Sergeant Takeo Yamauchi.
462
00:45:55,580 --> 00:45:58,280
Inside the cave, babies wept aloud.
463
00:46:01,250 --> 00:46:04,500
An officer ordered "Make her stop crying."
464
00:46:04,990 --> 00:46:06,290
But it was in vain.
465
00:46:08,790 --> 00:46:12,140
"Kill the babies immediately."
466
00:46:13,970 --> 00:46:16,920
A mother strangled her own baby.
467
00:46:21,510 --> 00:46:24,760
There were no cries of children in the cave.
468
00:46:26,610 --> 00:46:28,360
Only the mother's laments.
469
00:46:37,090 --> 00:46:41,190
Ryoko Okuyama, 14,
Witnessed mass suicide.
470
00:46:45,100 --> 00:46:49,200
My mother told us that
We would go to a beautiful place.
471
00:46:50,970 --> 00:46:52,970
And we would all do it together.
472
00:46:55,670 --> 00:46:58,870
So, our sergeant threw
A hand grenade.
473
00:47:00,380 --> 00:47:02,330
Now, I even died.
474
00:47:06,020 --> 00:47:08,120
But I survived. Just me.
475
00:47:13,030 --> 00:47:15,080
I lost all my family.
476
00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:34,690
More than 13,000 civilians killed
During the fighting.
477
00:47:40,790 --> 00:47:43,040
With the fall of the Mariana Islands,
478
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:47,610
No place in Japan is
Safe from American airpower.
479
00:47:49,460 --> 00:47:51,710
No one is safe from war.
480
00:48:01,610 --> 00:48:06,210
The island of Peleliu, in the western Pacific,
Is controlled by the Japanese.
481
00:48:06,980 --> 00:48:11,030
The allied advance is less than 2000 miles from Japan
482
00:48:12,380 --> 00:48:16,080
The Japanese are already in
War for more than 7 years
483
00:48:16,820 --> 00:48:21,370
And they face the forces
China, the British Empire
484
00:48:21,690 --> 00:48:23,240
And U.S.A.
485
00:48:26,030 --> 00:48:29,360
Available on both sides
By evil propaganda
486
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,600
The clashes reached
New levels of barbarism.
487
00:48:34,940 --> 00:48:36,590
Subten. Shin Hasegawa.
488
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,430
Justice is no longer a
Important thing in this war.
489
00:48:45,180 --> 00:48:48,280
All this has led to an explosion of hatred
490
00:48:48,450 --> 00:48:50,100
Among nationalities.
491
00:48:51,660 --> 00:48:56,660
Neither side will stop fighting
Before it gets close to self-destruction.
492
00:48:58,400 --> 00:48:59,450
What a pity.
493
00:49:05,070 --> 00:49:08,220
When Americans
Free the island of Guam,
494
00:49:08,610 --> 00:49:11,560
Discover evidence
Of the Japanese atrocities,
495
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:14,140
Practiced against the islanders.
496
00:49:16,780 --> 00:49:19,730
Beatrice Emsley, 13,
Is a witness.
497
00:49:22,250 --> 00:49:26,650
They dragged my uncle and
They took him into the woods.
498
00:49:27,890 --> 00:49:33,030
All I heard was how the girls
They were cutting down trees
499
00:49:33,060 --> 00:49:34,630
And yearning for God
500
00:49:36,170 --> 00:49:38,070
And say "I'm dying".
501
00:49:43,780 --> 00:49:46,780
Once finished and everything was quiet,
502
00:49:48,250 --> 00:49:52,100
Came towards us
With bloody uniforms.
503
00:49:55,150 --> 00:49:57,800
About 600 people among islanders
Referring to Fig.
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,020
Were executed by the Japanese
505
00:50:00,260 --> 00:50:01,610
During the occupation.
506
00:50:12,940 --> 00:50:15,790
With the country in danger of invasion,
507
00:50:17,110 --> 00:50:21,310
The Japanese high command adopts
A new and desperate tactic.
508
00:50:24,780 --> 00:50:26,780
On November 25, 1944,
509
00:50:27,790 --> 00:50:31,740
A solitary attacker
Japanese approaching USSR
510
00:50:32,660 --> 00:50:35,510
Your pilot is part of a new force.
511
00:50:38,260 --> 00:50:40,860
The Kamikaze Special Body Attack.
512
00:51:05,820 --> 00:51:07,420
The Japanese high command
513
00:51:07,860 --> 00:51:12,160
Is convinced that the
Attack Kamikaze will break the moral ally
514
00:51:12,660 --> 00:51:14,610
And change the course of the war.
515
00:51:20,310 --> 00:51:23,540
Thousands of young people are
Pressured to volunteer
516
00:51:23,570 --> 00:51:26,540
To make the last sacrifice for his country.
517
00:51:30,980 --> 00:51:32,730
Isao Masuo, 23.
518
00:51:36,220 --> 00:51:38,970
Please paralyze me.
519
00:51:39,990 --> 00:51:43,190
I have received a splendid opportunity to die.
520
00:51:45,130 --> 00:51:47,030
The destiny of our country
521
00:51:47,430 --> 00:51:50,580
Depends on the battle
Decisive in the South Seas,
522
00:51:52,700 --> 00:51:56,250
Where will fall
Like a cherry blossom.
523
00:52:03,780 --> 00:52:08,380
When the crew of a boat
USA Tries to rescue a pilot,
524
00:52:09,390 --> 00:52:10,940
He takes out a grenade.
525
00:52:15,690 --> 00:52:19,000
Meanwhile, in Japan,
Newspapers and newsletters
526
00:52:19,030 --> 00:52:21,550
Are full of kamikaze feats.
527
00:52:22,570 --> 00:52:25,520
They are seen as the salvation of Japan
528
00:52:29,070 --> 00:52:33,280
Students are trained
To attack planes, boats
529
00:52:33,310 --> 00:52:35,030
Humans and even torpedoes.
530
00:52:37,850 --> 00:52:41,350
To help them, a
Suicide was created.
531
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,760
When you see a target,
Point to a point in the center of the ship.
532
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,150
While you fall,
Scream as hard as you can,
533
00:52:56,370 --> 00:52:58,320
"Hissatsu" Kill without fail.
534
00:53:03,180 --> 00:53:07,380
Before the collision, it is essential
do not close Your eyes.
535
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,770
You feel like
Suddenly it is floating in the air.
536
00:53:16,420 --> 00:53:19,720
At this moment, the face of his mother is seen.
537
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:26,850
Therefore, it ceases to exist.
538
00:53:31,370 --> 00:53:34,320
A Japanese sailor is torn from the sea.
539
00:53:35,010 --> 00:53:40,010
He is the pilot of a small boat
Of wood, loaded with explosives.
540
00:53:42,550 --> 00:53:45,050
While welcomed as heroes at home
541
00:53:45,820 --> 00:53:51,520
In his diaries and private letters,
Many kamikaze reveal a different story.
542
00:53:56,090 --> 00:53:59,240
Army Pilot Yoshi Miyagi, 22.
543
00:54:01,730 --> 00:54:04,530
We, the "kamikazes", are nothing more than robots.
544
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:11,190
If we had the
Japanese who really love their country,
545
00:54:11,310 --> 00:54:14,560
We now would not be
Before this disaster.
546
00:54:17,220 --> 00:54:20,670
I do know that my death is no longer useful.
547
00:54:32,860 --> 00:54:36,460
Although the "kamikazes"
Reaching more than 400 boats
548
00:54:37,270 --> 00:54:40,420
And killing more than 5000
Allied sailors,
549
00:54:40,710 --> 00:54:43,910
The allied advance towards Japan continues.
550
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,680
Haruo Araki, 21.
551
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,520
Dear wife. The dream ended happily.
552
00:55:02,430 --> 00:55:06,280
I'm going to take my
Plane against an enemy ship.
553
00:55:08,370 --> 00:55:11,270
I'm going to cross the river to the other world
554
00:55:12,100 --> 00:55:14,150
Taking me some missiles.
555
00:55:20,950 --> 00:55:24,800
When I think about the future, I cut my heart.
556
00:55:28,950 --> 00:55:30,400
At the end of the war,
557
00:55:30,990 --> 00:55:34,240
More than 4000 "kamikazes" flew
to death.
558
00:55:47,570 --> 00:55:48,870
The Japanese empire,
559
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:53,440
Which before extended
Vast areas of the Pacific and Asia,
560
00:55:53,450 --> 00:55:55,400
Now is rapidly reducing.
561
00:56:00,550 --> 00:56:05,750
1er. April 1945, the island of Okinawa
Is bombed by Americans.
Referring to Fig.
00:56:10,900 --> 00:56:14,550
It is the first piece of the
Japanese soil to be attacked.
563
00:56:18,670 --> 00:56:20,220
To defend the island,
564
00:56:20,670 --> 00:56:23,870
The Japanese high command created a new tactic.
565
00:56:25,610 --> 00:56:30,510
His forces went inward,
Hidden in caves and bunkers.
Referring to Fig.
00:56:31,420 --> 00:56:35,670
Colonel Hiromichi Yahara,
32o. staff officer.
567
00:56:38,420 --> 00:56:42,070
While his troops
Landed almost without resistance,
568
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,860
I wonder what
The enemy commander is thinking.
569
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,850
I can not help but smile.
570
00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:52,650
It's fun to see the US military.
571
00:56:53,070 --> 00:56:56,570
Attacking like
Desperately an unguarded coast,
572
00:56:58,110 --> 00:57:00,810
Like a blind man who lost his stick.
573
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:12,420
Okinawa is less than 400 miles
Of the main islands of Japan
574
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,070
Houses and about 400,000 civilians.
575
00:57:16,690 --> 00:57:18,390
Junko Isa, 14 years old.
576
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:25,100
When we found out that
Americans landed near here,
577
00:57:25,340 --> 00:57:28,220
All, that we were eight,
We ran towards the forest.
578
00:57:28,260 --> 00:57:31,110
Then an enemy plane
Roared from the sky.
579
00:57:43,150 --> 00:57:47,250
When we look back at the place
Everything was on fire.
580
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,860
We could hear people screaming for help.
581
00:57:53,870 --> 00:57:57,020
But little by little, the voices
Were disappearing.
582
00:57:59,370 --> 00:58:02,220
That's when we realized
That they were dead.
583
00:58:08,610 --> 00:58:10,410
The high command in Tokyo
584
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,990
He is desperate to avoid
An invasion of the peninsula.
585
00:58:15,020 --> 00:58:17,580
They are willing to sacrifice Okinawa,
586
00:58:17,620 --> 00:58:21,520
To show Americans
How bloody this is.
587
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,830
From his command post on Mount Shuri,
588
00:58:32,870 --> 00:58:36,270
Colonel Yahara notes the
Advance of the Americans.
589
00:58:39,940 --> 00:58:43,940
For months, we have built our
More powerful fortifications
590
00:58:44,650 --> 00:58:46,100
In the hills to the south.
591
00:58:48,050 --> 00:58:52,200
Here we are going to attract
The US forces And defeat them.
592
00:59:02,930 --> 00:59:04,430
After several days of hiking,
593
00:59:05,270 --> 00:59:10,370
Suddenly Americans are advancing
Against the Japanese forces.
594
00:59:14,010 --> 00:59:19,510
Emperor Yahara stated that this
Battle will decide the future of our nation.
595
00:59:20,250 --> 00:59:25,000
Then comes the glorious
News of the death of the Pt. Roosevelt.
596
00:59:26,490 --> 00:59:29,550
We, the official staff,
We were euphoric.
597
00:59:29,590 --> 00:59:33,940
We are convinced that now
We would certainly win the war.
Referring to Fig.
00:59:40,910 --> 00:59:43,160
This is Radio Tokyo, Japan
599
00:59:43,540 --> 00:59:45,840
This is the news of the world.
600
00:59:46,310 --> 00:59:51,760
In Okinawa, a fierce close combat
Persists in many areas.
601
00:59:54,090 --> 00:59:58,090
Radio Tokyo started a
Propaganda service in English,
602
00:59:58,220 --> 01:00:00,170
Directed at US troops.
603
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:04,830
The inhabitants of the island of Okinawa
They oppose in a strong resistance
604
01:00:04,860 --> 01:00:06,280
the invaders.
605
01:00:08,130 --> 01:00:12,930
Even high school girls
Throw grenades against US troops.
606
01:00:16,140 --> 01:00:18,040
20,000 citizens of Okinawa
607
01:00:18,340 --> 01:00:21,440
Are called to fight with the Japanese army.
608
01:00:22,310 --> 01:00:24,810
Kikuki Miyagi, a 16-year-old student,
609
01:00:25,750 --> 01:00:28,800
She became a nurse
Of an underground hospital.
610
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,570
Wounded soldiers arrive in large numbers.
611
01:00:35,460 --> 01:00:37,110
Some profit members.
612
01:00:38,100 --> 01:00:39,400
Others with no face.
613
01:00:42,430 --> 01:00:46,180
There were men of 20 or 30 years
Crying like babies.
614
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:49,990
Thousands of them.
615
01:00:56,650 --> 01:00:58,900
The devastating power of North America
616
01:00:59,450 --> 01:01:03,100
Begins to force his way
Through the Japanese defenses.
617
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,720
Then, on May 8, 1945,
618
01:01:10,260 --> 01:01:14,060
It is announced that
Germany surrenders to the Allies.
619
01:01:15,030 --> 01:01:16,080
Colonel Yahara.
620
01:01:18,370 --> 01:01:21,020
Now we realize
That we are lost.
621
01:01:23,310 --> 01:01:28,560
There is no point in continuing the war
After our royal ally fell.
622
01:01:31,020 --> 01:01:36,170
Our leaders involved in this
War seek to preserve their own powers.
623
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,550
Who would not go in despair upon learning
624
01:01:39,590 --> 01:01:43,990
That our soldiers are
Dying for the safety of those people?
625
01:01:56,270 --> 01:01:58,270
For the first time in the war,
626
01:01:58,740 --> 01:02:01,490
Thousands of soldiers deny
The Japanese surrender.
627
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,580
Japan will never fall into defeat
628
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:13,120
While there is one
Inch of dirt and one person standing.
629
01:02:14,090 --> 01:02:17,690
For the Japanese, no
There is unconditional surrender.
630
01:02:21,170 --> 01:02:25,520
While Americans eliminate
The last foci of resistance,
631
01:02:25,770 --> 01:02:29,840
Thousands of civilians who were
Forced to take refuge in the caves,
632
01:02:29,870 --> 01:02:33,190
Are surrounded by
Hell of explosives and napalm.
633
01:02:42,820 --> 01:02:46,720
When there are survivors,
They are scared, hungry
634
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:48,660
And near death.
635
01:02:53,130 --> 01:02:55,980
Kikuko Miyagi is one of the last to come out.
636
01:03:00,340 --> 01:03:02,240
There was a shower of bullets.
637
01:03:03,270 --> 01:03:07,570
The Americans owed
To think we were with the soldiers.
638
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,280
AOSA, Nakamoto and Ueki died instantly.
639
01:03:15,050 --> 01:03:17,650
Their bodies fell on me.
640
01:03:19,090 --> 01:03:21,240
Then the fire ceased.
641
01:03:22,330 --> 01:03:26,830
I think Americans
They realized that they were firing the girls.
642
01:03:28,230 --> 01:03:31,730
My ten classmates were all dead.
643
01:03:34,170 --> 01:03:35,620
I will never forget.
644
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,220
More than 12,000 Americans
And 200,000 Japanese
645
01:03:49,290 --> 01:03:53,490
Died, including a
Fourth of the island's civilian population.
646
01:03:54,460 --> 01:03:59,410
This was the most
Bloody war in the Pacific.
647
01:03:59,660 --> 01:04:03,410
The only one left is the objective
Japan itself.
648
01:04:20,150 --> 01:04:22,600
From the newly captured bases on the islands,
649
01:04:23,190 --> 01:04:25,990
Americans started
A new offensive.
650
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:31,810
The bombings
Incendiarion the Japanese cities.
651
01:04:33,430 --> 01:04:37,480
Sawaharu Hashimoto
Director of air raid in Tokyo.
652
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,040
Fire coming out of the bombs
653
01:04:43,540 --> 01:04:45,640
It spreads like a magic carpet.
654
01:04:47,010 --> 01:04:51,410
In front of my eyes,
There was a real scene from hell.
655
01:04:53,650 --> 01:04:57,250
On both sides of the road,
There were people on the fire.
656
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,570
I could not tell if they were men or women.
657
01:05:10,570 --> 01:05:13,120
We were surrounded by a sea of fire.
658
01:05:14,140 --> 01:05:17,790
I ran into my three children and jumped into the river.
659
01:05:18,810 --> 01:05:21,010
People were crying and shouting.
660
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:27,430
OMG. Please make
My family die quickly
661
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,560
In just one air raid on Tokyo,
662
01:05:35,730 --> 01:05:39,480
More than 100,000
People were burned to death.
663
01:05:52,110 --> 01:05:56,060
Americans ended up
The air dominion over Japan
664
01:06:04,590 --> 01:06:08,090
The old slow plane
Of the Japanese Air Force
665
01:06:08,230 --> 01:06:11,030
Are no match for fighters
Americans.
666
01:06:14,170 --> 01:06:16,660
With its unprotected shipping lines
667
01:06:16,700 --> 01:06:20,060
And cut
Important fuel supplies,
668
01:06:20,100 --> 01:06:24,450
The Japanese war machine
Is almost unable to resist.
669
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:42,170
Yasuko Ogiwara is a train on the way home.
670
01:06:44,660 --> 01:06:49,060
The sound of an airplane echo to everyone
The passengers screaming in fear.
671
01:06:50,870 --> 01:06:54,070
It looked like a wild animal attacking its prey.
672
01:06:55,340 --> 01:06:58,090
People were affected sequentially.
673
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:00,880
I could feel the heat of the projectiles
674
01:07:00,910 --> 01:07:03,480
To pass near my face.
675
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:09,130
A middle-aged woman
Was murdered in front of me.
676
01:07:10,820 --> 01:07:14,920
Was surrounded by
Bodies and pieces of flesh and bones.
677
01:07:22,900 --> 01:07:24,800
The Japanese are surrounded.
678
01:07:27,610 --> 01:07:32,860
US submarines sail at will
Pulling the merchant ships, one after another.
679
01:07:39,580 --> 01:07:42,580
With almost no food entering the country,
680
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:45,520
The Japanese begin to starve.
681
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,500
Despite government censorship,
682.
01:07:53,830 --> 01:07:58,430
Everyone knows that submarines
Americans are winning this war.
683
01:07:59,470 --> 01:08:03,270
We almost do not have
Boat available at this time.
684
01:08:03,940 --> 01:08:08,390
Winston Churchill says
That we have to eat sand, to survive.
685
01:08:10,310 --> 01:08:14,660
Only now they realize the
Terrible enemy that we face.
686
01:08:24,460 --> 01:08:25,560
July 1945.
687
01:08:27,570 --> 01:08:30,020
A mansion on the outskirts of Berlin.
688
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:38,790
Allied leaders meet to
Discuss how to end the war in the Pacific.
689
01:08:41,810 --> 01:08:44,450
They offer an option for the Japanese.
690
01:08:44,480 --> 01:08:46,000
Unconditional Surrender
691
01:08:47,050 --> 01:08:48,450
Or total destruction.
692
01:09:01,530 --> 01:09:05,030
11 days later, none
Response from the Japanese
693
01:09:05,770 --> 01:09:10,520
Americans Launch Bombs
Atomic bomb in Hiroshima and in Nagasaki.
694
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:15,890
Makoto Nagai, 10 years old.
695
01:09:19,220 --> 01:09:24,120
There was a terrible air flow and
Then a noise like thunder.
696
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:28,570
The biggest thing I've ever seen.
Horrible and beautiful.
697
01:09:32,330 --> 01:09:34,330
It looked like a pillar of fire.
698
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,900
I thought a plane crashed in the sun
699
01:09:50,110 --> 01:09:51,810
One day before the bomb,
700
01:09:52,550 --> 01:09:58,050
Dr. Takashi Nagai said goodbye to his wife and
He went to work as usual.
701
01:09:59,620 --> 01:10:02,620
Three days later, he returned home.
702
01:10:05,300 --> 01:10:07,000
I found it quickly.
703
01:10:08,230 --> 01:10:11,330
A divot left in the dark kitchen.
704
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,690
Just your pelvis and
Other bones burned by fire.
705
01:10:19,340 --> 01:10:21,040
She was still hot.
706
01:10:22,810 --> 01:10:26,210
I took my wife and put it in a bucket
707
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:31,370
And carried it to the cemetery.
708
01:10:42,470 --> 01:10:46,120
More than 200,000 people
They died instantly.
709
01:10:46,870 --> 01:10:51,470
Thousands of people die later
In the months and years that followed.
710
01:10:52,740 --> 01:10:56,240
Ichiro Hatano, 16,
Writes in his diary:
711
01:10:59,050 --> 01:11:03,850
The Army did not know
That the enemy had a weapon like that?
712
01:11:05,260 --> 01:11:08,690
It was very stupid to think
That we could win this war
713
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:10,240
With bamboo spears.
714
01:11:12,500 --> 01:11:15,100
Our will to fight is gone.
715
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,440
Six days after the bombing of Nagasaki,
716
01:11:26,340 --> 01:11:29,040
A special announcement arrives on the radio.
717
01:11:31,050 --> 01:11:34,350
The divine ruler of Japan, Hirohito,
718
01:11:35,590 --> 01:11:37,390
He will speak to his people.
719
01:11:43,790 --> 01:11:46,190
To our good subjects and faithful ones.
720
01:11:47,970 --> 01:11:49,820
After deep reflection
721
01:11:50,830 --> 01:11:53,080
We have decided to make a statement,
722
01:11:55,370 --> 01:11:57,920
Appealing to an extraordinary measure.
723
01:12:02,610 --> 01:12:03,910
For the first time,
REFERENCES
01:12:04,780 --> 01:12:08,080
The Japanese hear the voice of their living God.
725
01:12:09,620 --> 01:12:12,270
Without ever mentioning the word surrender,
726
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:14,820
Which heralds the end of the war.
727
01:12:18,030 --> 01:12:19,780
If we keep fighting,
728
01:12:21,330 --> 01:12:25,580
This will not only result in
The destruction of the Japanese nation,
729
01:12:28,910 --> 01:12:33,260
But will also cause
Total extinction of human civilization.
730
01:12:36,350 --> 01:12:40,150
So we decided to prepare
A great path of peace
731
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:43,720
Enduring the unbearable.
732
01:12:54,730 --> 01:12:56,580
After listening to the emperor,
733
01:12:57,740 --> 01:13:00,390
Nobody was talking about war.
734
01:13:03,310 --> 01:13:05,810
Everyone had the heart.
Shattered, exhausted.
735
01:13:08,750 --> 01:13:13,350
Clearly, there was relief
Knowing that they no longer bombed.
736
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,170
But what is left for us?
737
01:13:17,450 --> 01:13:20,450
Homeless families, children without parents.
738
01:13:22,790 --> 01:13:25,690
What is our beloved country now,
739
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,150
Obtained by white men of the west?
740
01:13:38,140 --> 01:13:40,840
After the transmission
Of the voice of the emperor,
741
01:13:40,870 --> 01:13:43,410
Orders are shipped through the empire
742
01:13:43,440 --> 01:13:46,360
To lay down arms
743
01:13:47,150 --> 01:13:48,250
And surrender.
744
01:13:50,220 --> 01:13:53,620
Shintaro is one of 41. Infantry Regiment.
745
01:13:56,260 --> 01:14:00,360
I never imagined that the
Emperor surrendered so easily.
746
01:14:01,470 --> 01:14:05,670
Officials did not accredit
Which Japan could lose.
747
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,140
I have been ordered to burn
The colors of the regiment.
748
01:14:10,170 --> 01:14:13,340
I obeyed with tears running down my face.
749
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:21,810
I just hope that the
Enemy treat us kindly.
750
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:35,410
The housewife Yu Aihara
Is worried about her husband.
751
01:14:37,970 --> 01:14:39,920
With the news of the surrender,
752
01:14:40,500 --> 01:14:43,350
I felt my energy of everything
The body vanishes.
753
01:14:44,410 --> 01:14:46,540
And then the radio continued the news
754
01:14:46,580 --> 01:14:52,180
And I heard soldiers abroad
Would be disarmed and repatriated to Japan
755
01:14:52,780 --> 01:14:56,630
I felt great relief and
I spent the whole night praying.
756
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:02,770
God, please, my husband does not commit suicide.
757
01:15:04,930 --> 01:15:07,730
They spend up to three years without Yu Aihara
758
01:15:08,030 --> 01:15:10,080
Receives news of her husband.
759
01:15:10,770 --> 01:15:15,570
He was assassinated on August 10,
Only five days before delivery.
760
01:15:29,550 --> 01:15:34,250
Throughout Asia, the fields
The prisoners are released by the allies.
761
01:15:37,530 --> 01:15:42,430
But the 130,000 British soldiers
And the Empire, captured in Malaysia
762
01:15:42,830 --> 01:15:47,440
Singapore and Burma were forced
Working in deplorable conditions
763
01:15:47,470 --> 01:15:49,090
By his Japanese captors.
764
01:15:53,110 --> 01:15:58,410
Many of the guards were arrested in camps
And accused of brutality and murder.
765
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,020
The first Ten. Hiroshi Abe
766
01:16:06,860 --> 01:16:10,110
Sent a unit
Construction of the railway.
767
01:16:11,230 --> 01:16:13,460
I really did not do anything wrong.
768
01:16:13,490 --> 01:16:14,910
I only worked there.
769
01:16:16,930 --> 01:16:20,980
We had to work
Because we did not have machines.
770
01:16:23,340 --> 01:16:26,890
If an inmate
Seems lazy, is beaten.
771
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:31,030
I really did not know anything
On the Geneva Convention.
772
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:34,770
In my field, 3100 died.
773
01:16:41,190 --> 01:16:42,990
Yoshikichi Kasayama, guard.
774
01:16:45,230 --> 01:16:49,580
We play to beat the
Prisoners who worked.
775
01:16:50,370 --> 01:16:52,470
There was a lot to eat
776
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:57,750
And the instructions say that the Army
Is fed first.
777
01:16:59,780 --> 01:17:02,580
What remains for the prisoners.
778
01:17:03,550 --> 01:17:05,900
In this way was much appreciated.
779
01:17:07,150 --> 01:17:09,200
Every day, there were deaths.
780
01:17:09,890 --> 01:17:12,240
There was no time to dig graves.
781
01:17:14,220 --> 01:17:18,560
And when you put several
Hundreds of bodies in one place,
782
01:17:18,590 --> 01:17:21,110
Everything is dead with smell.
783
01:17:23,270 --> 01:17:24,720
The stench of death.
784
01:17:28,570 --> 01:17:33,240
Between British soldiers and
Those belonging to the empire captured by the Japanese
785
01:17:33,270 --> 01:17:36,240
Almost one in four, more than 29,000
786
01:17:37,480 --> 01:17:39,780
Have died at the end of the war.
787
01:17:52,460 --> 01:17:55,410
Atsugi air base on the outskirts of Tokyo,
788
01:17:57,630 --> 01:18:02,330
Headquarters of Suicidal Squadrons of the Imperial Navy.
789
01:18:03,510 --> 01:18:08,310
The pilots fled, leaving
Children and preparing the ground
790
01:18:08,340 --> 01:18:11,660
For the arrival of the
US Invaders.
791
01:18:16,150 --> 01:18:17,650
Jorn. Masuo Kato.
792
01:18:21,630 --> 01:18:25,730
There were rumors that members
Of the armed body committed suicide
793
01:18:26,430 --> 01:18:30,630
They were hiding in
The hills of the region, ready to attack.
794
01:18:31,370 --> 01:18:36,520
People gave instructions
To stop fighting until death.
795
01:18:38,440 --> 01:18:42,240
And his reaction was still impossible to predict.
796
01:18:48,290 --> 01:18:50,690
For the first time in its history,
797
01:18:51,150 --> 01:18:54,200
The Japanese face the reality of defeat.
798
01:18:56,030 --> 01:18:57,780
At 2:00 p.m.,
799
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:00,750
An airplane is approaching.
800
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:07,300
Lead to new
Ruler of Japan, General Douglas MacArthur.
801
01:19:08,440 --> 01:19:10,890
Masuo Kato is waiting on the track.
802
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:18,240
The supreme commander pauses
To look around the sun at the airport
803
01:19:19,220 --> 01:19:21,170
While savoring the moment.
804
01:19:21,350 --> 01:19:26,050
Like a great actor
Makes a well planned entry.
805
01:19:31,260 --> 01:19:35,610
Now that the Westerners arrived,
how long are you staying?
806
01:19:43,370 --> 01:19:47,970
While following Gen. MacArthur
For Yokohama, via Tokyo,
807
01:19:49,250 --> 01:19:53,850
30,000 Japanese soldiers are
Ordered on the way.
808
01:19:54,550 --> 01:20:00,050
They are warned to turn back,
A sign of respect for the new sovereign.
809
01:20:01,690 --> 01:20:05,340
Ichiro Hatano, 16,
Waiting in Tokyo.
810
01:20:07,860 --> 01:20:11,460
The police are giving
The orders on the Americans.
811
01:20:12,140 --> 01:20:15,490
Avoid personal contact
as much as possible.
812
01:20:17,470 --> 01:20:21,370
If an American starts a conversation
Respond calmly.
813
01:20:23,380 --> 01:20:27,630
Women should wear clothing
Simple and do not leave it alone.
814
01:20:30,790 --> 01:20:34,790
Living under occupation is more
Frightening to be bombed.
815
01:20:45,170 --> 01:20:48,370
Three days later, on September 2, 1945,
816
01:20:49,370 --> 01:20:53,370
Preparations for surrender
Officer are on the march.
817
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:58,580
The responsibility lies with signing
About the Japanese Foreign Minister
818
01:21:03,150 --> 01:21:07,750
Japanese leaders tried
Avoid liability for surrender.
819
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:14,710
It was then my duty
To execute this final and decisive act.
820
01:21:17,330 --> 01:21:20,230
He was surrounded by enemy observers.
821
01:21:22,970 --> 01:21:25,370
Then came General MacArthur.
822
01:21:28,210 --> 01:21:29,960
It is my sincere hope
823
01:21:31,350 --> 01:21:34,300
And also the hope of all mankind
824
01:21:35,050 --> 01:21:37,450
That from this solemn moment
825
01:21:38,860 --> 01:21:43,610
A better world will emerge
Of the blood and the slaughter of the past.
826
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,210
MacArthur
Declared that the war is over
827
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:50,260
And asked us to sign the surrender.
828
01:21:52,900 --> 01:21:56,850
For us the Japanese
It is difficult to use the word surrender.
829
01:21:59,010 --> 01:22:03,310
The military
Call a ceasefire.
830
01:22:05,650 --> 01:22:07,840
But whatever the name,
831
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:11,380
The rebirth of
Japan depends on your perception
832
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:16,260
Be surrendered as
Result of a defeat.
833
01:22:23,430 --> 01:22:26,480
A holy war is finally over in Japan.
834
01:22:29,570 --> 01:22:32,970
Now, the Japanese will have to endure the occupation.
835
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:54,800
October 1945.
836
01:22:56,430 --> 01:23:00,030
The British cruiser H.M.S. Swiftsure
Arrives in Nagasaki.
837
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:08,140
Now, you have more than six weeks
That Japan officially surrendered.
838
01:23:10,580 --> 01:23:14,680
Allied troops are coming
In all major cities.
839
01:23:14,820 --> 01:23:17,070
Naokata Sasaki, university student.
840
01:23:19,590 --> 01:23:22,390
The news came. "They're coming."
841
01:23:23,630 --> 01:23:25,680
What does it look like?
842
1:23:27,530 --> 01:23:30,070
They came on the road to us.
843
01:23:30,100 --> 01:23:32,620
They are coming in jeeps and trucks.
844
01:23:35,910 --> 01:23:40,560
There were glittering images of demons,
With horns on their heads.
845
01:23:42,410 --> 01:23:45,880
Stretch your neck
Take a look at them.
846
01:23:45,910 --> 01:23:48,230
We were disappointed. There is no horn.
847
01:23:51,860 --> 01:23:56,660
Friends meeting face to face
Again in the streets with chocolates.
848
01:23:57,730 --> 01:24:00,080
"They're good people," they said.
849
01:24:00,230 --> 01:24:03,180
But I told him it could not be true.
850
01:24:04,670 --> 01:24:06,570
They have to be lying.
851
01:24:19,180 --> 01:24:20,930
With the fall of the empire,
852
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:25,820
More than six million
Of soldiers and civilians returned home.
853
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,350
Kunimitsu lida has just arrived from Okinawa.
854
01:24:38,370 --> 01:24:41,570
It took us three days to land.
855
01:24:42,170 --> 01:24:46,270
It was the first time in eight
Years I was at home.
856
01:24:49,250 --> 01:24:51,250
It is then sprayed on.
857
01:24:52,480 --> 01:24:54,780
In our heads and sleeves.
858
01:24:57,820 --> 01:25:02,820
We were hungry. Clothes
Was exchanged for food.
859
01:25:04,030 --> 01:25:06,590
We were all dead of fatigue
860
01:25:06,620 --> 01:25:09,150
And I did not have the strength to speak, even.
861
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,870
Yes my only
Husband had returned alive.
862
01:25:19,910 --> 01:25:23,280
I do not care what state he was in.
863
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:26,660
I prayed he would go back with the kids
864
01:25:27,850 --> 01:25:28,850
and me.
865
01:25:30,550 --> 01:25:34,000
While waiting,
I received a press release.
866
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:37,160
He died in the Philippines.
867
01:25:39,630 --> 01:25:41,230
I cried and I cried.
868
01:25:43,700 --> 01:25:45,800
When my tears have dried,
869
01:25:46,070 --> 01:25:49,670
I decided to be a
Father of my three children.
870
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:01,620
For those returning to Japan
871
01:26:01,650 --> 01:26:04,800
The scars of war
They are everywhere.
872
01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:09,820
In Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
873
01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:12,590
Many survivors of
atomic bombs
874
01:26:12,630 --> 01:26:16,830
Face a slow death
Of pathologies resulting from radiation.
875
01:26:21,140 --> 01:26:22,640
Dr. Michihiko Hachiya.
876
01:26:25,780 --> 01:26:28,530
Patients come as an avalanche.
877
01:26:29,350 --> 01:26:31,500
Most with severe burns.
878
01:26:32,250 --> 01:26:33,950
All severely pathological.
879
01:26:35,350 --> 01:26:39,250
People seemed to be improving.
Developing new symptoms.
880
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,770
Many patients are
Dying without knowing why.
881
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,400
We are all hopeless.
882
01:26:51,940 --> 01:26:53,940
Senji Yamaguchi, 14 years old.
883
01:26:56,140 --> 01:26:58,790
A terrible pain shook my body,
884
01:26:58,940 --> 01:27:02,040
While nurses
I removed the gauze.
885
01:27:02,980 --> 01:27:05,230
Please kill me, he shouted.
886
01:27:08,790 --> 01:27:11,340
There was also a girl in the hospital
887
01:27:11,450 --> 01:27:14,300
Which, like me, had
Burns on the face.
888
01:27:16,460 --> 01:27:20,660
If it were not for the scars,
She would be a beautiful woman.
889
01:27:23,170 --> 01:27:26,670
The night before discharge, he hanged himself.
890
01:27:30,210 --> 01:27:34,310
I refused to stay
Discouraged because of his death.
891
01:27:34,580 --> 01:27:36,880
I swore I'd go back to school.
892
01:27:38,150 --> 01:27:42,000
No matter how many people
Laugh at my scars
893
01:27:51,230 --> 01:27:52,780
In the next 50 years,
894
01:27:53,500 --> 01:27:57,750
More than 100 '000 people
Will die under the effects of radiation.
895
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:09,990
By the end of 1945, people
Of Japan face an uncertain future.
896
01:28:12,480 --> 01:28:14,580
The rice crop has failed.
897
01:28:15,650 --> 01:28:17,500
Inflation is on the rise.
898
01:28:18,690 --> 01:28:20,490
The black market prevails.
899
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:26,170
Everywhere, queues for
Food spreads.
900
01:28:27,030 --> 01:28:29,080
Yoshitaka Kojima, 16.
901
01:28:32,670 --> 01:28:35,170
Look at the people in Japan defeated.
902
01:28:36,270 --> 01:28:38,320
Wooden clogs on his feet.
903
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:44,140
The yankee will laugh because
We are in such a deplorable state.
904
01:28:46,780 --> 01:28:49,280
Unemployed people everywhere.
905
01:28:50,420 --> 01:28:52,470
Some even died of starvation.
906
01:28:55,730 --> 01:29:01,480
Women who go out in search of food
Are attacked, raped or even murdered.
907
01:29:02,470 --> 01:29:06,320
I think we still have
More suffering in the future.
908
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:15,860
The allied force of a series
Of integral reforms,
909
01:29:16,010 --> 01:29:21,160
In an attempt to eradicate all
Trace of a militarist past of Japan
910
01:29:22,020 --> 01:29:25,170
In schools, old books
Are destroyed
911
01:29:26,020 --> 01:29:31,520
And children are taught
The benefits of individual freedom and pacifism.
912
01:29:36,630 --> 01:29:39,830
It comes from a new constitution
And more democratic.
913
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:45,550
Women receive the
Right to vote for the first time.
914
01:29:45,980 --> 01:29:49,850
In an attempt to rebuild
A country destroyed by war,
915
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:52,150
They all go to work.
916
01:30:01,620 --> 01:30:03,370
On May 3, 1946,
917
01:30:04,060 --> 01:30:07,910
Japanese leaders will
Trial for war crimes.
918
01:30:10,300 --> 01:30:15,450
They are accused of waging a war of
Assault and commit multiple murders.
919
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:19,790
Student Takashi Asai
920
01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:24,390
A terrible darkness is passing.
921
01:30:26,420 --> 01:30:31,620
Those of us who believe in
Freedom can hardly express joy.
922
01:30:35,020 --> 01:30:38,020
The most important thing for our country
923
01:30:38,390 --> 01:30:40,890
Is to destroy the fanatical militarists.
924
01:30:43,770 --> 01:30:47,870
The punishment for
War criminals must be death.
925
01:30:51,310 --> 01:30:56,210
With the closure of the courts
War crime in late 1951,
926
01:30:56,380 --> 01:30:58,930
Almost 4,500 Japanese are doomed
927
01:31:00,750 --> 01:31:03,400
Of which almost 1,000 are executed.
928
01:31:11,090 --> 01:31:16,540
The only man who lacked the key
Of the court was the divine ruler of Japan
929
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:24,690
When they occur in the west the frequent
Petitions to make the emperor
930
01:31:25,980 --> 01:31:30,830
There are a multitude of letters from the
Authorities of the occupying forces.
931
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:34,280
MacArthur. The illustrious General MacArthur.
932
01:31:36,190 --> 01:31:39,590
In our country, the emperor is above God.
933
01:31:41,490 --> 01:31:44,040
If something happens to your majesty
934
01:31:45,130 --> 01:31:48,180
We lose our sense of our lives.
935
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:52,050
The emperor made the country go to war
936
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:55,000
With more power and authority than Hitler.
937
01:31:55,970 --> 01:32:00,920
If this man is allowed
Escape from punishment, there is no justice.
938
01:32:03,550 --> 01:32:07,550
If someday
His Majesty goes to trial
939
01:32:07,950 --> 01:32:11,000
Many Japanese will have a huge hatred
940
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:13,020
Against all Americans.
941
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:17,010
I ask this request in writing with my blood.
942
01:32:26,540 --> 01:32:29,240
With a new cold war looming,
943
01:32:29,910 --> 01:32:33,860
Americans Prefer
Not to bring the emperor to trial.
944
01:32:39,150 --> 01:32:44,290
Instead, it is sent to a series
Carefully planned tours,
945
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:45,940
In their devastated nation.
946
01:32:47,690 --> 01:32:49,640
On December 7, 1947,
947
01:32:51,230 --> 01:32:52,880
Arrives in Hiroshima.
948
01:32:55,630 --> 01:32:57,930
There is hope that the emperor will follow
949
01:32:57,970 --> 01:33:01,570
Being a powerful symbol
Of the continuity of the past.
950
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:07,940
Student Sumiyoshi Konokichi
951
01:33:10,580 --> 01:33:15,180
We can not deny that we have
High hopes in ancient Japan
952
01:33:16,550 --> 01:33:21,050
But the fact is that the militarists
They totally ignore reality.
953
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:26,210
Japan was closed and I was afraid
Of the outside world.
954
01:33:29,900 --> 01:33:33,750
We have to create a new
Nation from the ashes of the old.
955
01:33:41,010 --> 01:33:42,760
After eight years of struggle,
956
01:33:43,650 --> 01:33:47,480
During which Japan
Lost two and a half million people
957
01:33:47,510 --> 01:33:50,480
And killed more than 15 million abroad
958
01:33:52,890 --> 01:33:56,540
The legacy of war in Japan
It will be long and painful.
