Deadmen's Secrets:
Mysterious Death
of Yamamoto - VHS Video
On April 18th 1943, U.S. fighters shot down
the aircraft carrying Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto,
the chief architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Yamamoto was visiting the forward Japanese bases
at Bougainville, some 650 miles from the nearest
U.S. base at Henderson Field on Guadalcanal. The
attack came so far from their territory that it
had to be more than simple coincidence-the U.S.
pilots knew where Yamamoto was going to be. Program
reveals exactly how Yamamoto became the first enemy
war leader to be officially assassinated by the
U.S. government. Compromised Japanese codes and
intercepted transmissions combined to give the U.S.
detailed information of Yamamoto's itinerary, and
pinpoint navigation by the members of the strike
force led to the fatal attack. Also features interviews
with the American pilots who shot down Yamamoto's
plane, and explains why the mission remained a secret
until after the war. 50 minutes. |
