Was Pearl Harbor Preventable?
Did the British and Americans actually have advance warning of the catastrophic attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941? Why was the base not prepared for the attack when the Japanese warplanesappeared on US radar? Extensive high quality film captures the full impact of the devastating Japanese assault. 1930's and 40's era footage also illustrates Japanese military codes. The tension mounts as a growing number of increasingly ominous messages are decoded. The Japanese plans for attack in the Pacific become clear. Fascinating hypotheses are presented to explain why this crucial data was never passed on!
The Race For The Atomic Bomb
Surprisingly complete color and black and white film records tell the story of the Allied and Axis atom bomb projects in World War Two. Painfully aware that they must develop this potent new weapon first, the Allies are shown mounting a massive, top secret effort to build the bomb before the Nazis can do the same. Included here is film of the first Atomic Bomb tests, the two nuclear strikes against Japan, and the German rocket program at Peenemunde. Terrifying questions hover around the intended use of huge German missile bases in occupied France, and the deadly contents of a lone German U-boat headed to Japan
