Synopsis by C. Dwayne Smith

This historic documentary reveals the one-time classified secrets of the Axis and Allied powers that eventually changed the outcome of the war, some for the better, others for the worse. From National Geographic and Warner Home Video, this educational film gives insight into the soldiers, sailors, and aviators who made the supreme sacrifice for a greater good. Highlights include a gripping tale of three Norwegian "special force" resistance fighters who went on a search-and-destroy mission. Additionally, there is a haunting look into the Japanese "kamikaze" pilots' psyche as they became airborne torpedoes trying desperately to sink the Pacific fleet.
