Victory At Sea (1952) 25/26 Suicide for Glory

in documentary •  7 years ago 


Suicide missions were desirous of all Japanese who were believers in the 'Divine Wind' philosophy. Suicide was more preferred than was surrendering. These actions on Okinawa had a decisive action on future decisions.

Victory at Sea is a documentary television series about warfare in general during World War II, and naval warfare in particular, as well as the use of industry in warfare. It was originally broadcast by NBC in the United States in 1952–1953. It was condensed into a film released in 1954. Excerpts from the music soundtrack, by Richard Rodgers and Robert Russell Bennett, were re-recorded for record albums. The original TV broadcasts comprised 26 half-hour segments—Sunday afternoons at 3pm (EST) in most markets—starting on October 26, 1952 and ending on May 3, 1953. The series, which won an Emmy award in 1954 as "best public affairs program", played an important part in establishing historic "compilation" documentaries as a viable television genre.
