NHK Documentaries - The Pacific War: Despair on the Battlefield
Seizoen: 2013 - Aflevering: 10 / 65 - Eerst uitgezonden: 18 augustus 2013 - Episode ID: 883774
It has been nearly 70 years since the end of the Pacific War. Over 800 people have been recorded by NHK bearing personal witness to their wartime experiences. The Japanese military expanded operations beyond the nation's capacity. Even as signs of looming defeat grew more ominous, many servicemen and civilians were sacrificed, the majority in the last year or so of the war. Why did so many people have to die? We hear from veterans who survived horrors, and from villagers whose loved ones never returned.
