Description

World War II � it was a desperate time when humans found new and more terrible ways to kill each other. Out of this desperation came the Japanese suicide bomber known as the Kamikaze. To the Kamikaze, bomb and bomber were one and the same. Called into power by Emperor Hirohito and creatively offered the new rank of �God,� 2,500 men were to spend their last terrifying moments as human artillery streaking towards their targets encased in airplanes, mini subs, and small boats. These �Knights of the Divine Wind,� so horrifyingly accurate in their attack, took the lives of over 7,000 Allied servicemen and women during the reign of those first initiated� and there were still another 4,000 Japanese men being prepared for knighthood. The fear of these human weapons became a critical factor in the United States� decision to avoid an invasion of the Japanese mainland and, instead, drop the atomic bomb.

With incredible film footage from cameramen who narrowly escaped with their lives, this extraordinary production provides an important and provocative look at some of the most horrible wartime tactics ever imagined� tactics that continue to haunt the world to this day.
