I like to watch it every Sunday, except last week.
Last Sunday, the program afirmed that "the Japanese were ready to stop the war before the atomic bombs." That couldn't be further from the truth. The Emperor made a unilateral decision and stopped the war, in spite of the politicians.
The Japanese armed forces had plans to fight to the last man, like Germany. Watch the film's. When Americans went into the country the Japanese soldiers turned there back in shame for not fighting to the death, as they did in all other battles.
