Play.com Description:Named after the 'divine wind' which had twice intervened to prevent invasion by the armies of Kublai Kahn in the 13th Century the Kamikaze pilots symbolized the extreme lengths the Japanese Imperial forces were prepared to go when faced with defeat. Opposed by the American fleet rebuilt after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbour the Imperial seal of approval was given to suicide air attacks on the enemy. Honoured for its purity suicide was shrouded in ceremony and mysticism capturing the Samurai spirit. Captured within this rare archive footage is the nightmare chaos of the Pacific War the air thick with tracer bullets and belching smoke as the sea foamed with devastating destruction. Although losing many aircraft and men the Imperial forces forced a retreat from the Americans. They and the rest of the world had witnessed the Samurai mentality where a whole nation from the Emperor downwards was honoured to die for their cause.
