Documentary celebrating the final victory over Japan in the Second World War, with archive footage and interviews with surviving veterans. From the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour in December 1941, to momentous battles such as Midway, Guadalcanal and the Burma campaign, the Allies fought over vast distances and against a tenacious foe in order to achieve victory.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.  To commemorate the 60th anniversary of VJ Day (Victory In Japan) this DVD documents the end of the war in the Pacific and the subsequent consequence this had for all sides involved. Featuring archive footage and interviews from the people who were there this is a fascinating and educational film. The long road to final victory over the Japanese Empire had begun in June 1942, when, in five extraordinary minutes near Midway Island, US naval aircraft shattered Japan's naval power by sinking three fleet carriers. What followed was more than three and a half years of bloody and brutal fighting culminating in the dropping of two atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Finally, after Japan's unconditional surrender on 27th August 1945, a mighty Allied armada sailed into Tokyo Bay. Six days later, on board the US battleship Missouri, General Douglas MacArthur presided over the formal Japanese surrender. The Second World War was at last at an end.
