Pearl Harbor Commemorative Collection DVD

 

 

Just before 8 a.m. on December 7th, 1941, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor near Honolulu, Hawaii. The barrage lasted just two hours, but it was devastating: The Japanese managed to destroy nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight enormous battleships, and more than 300 airplanes. More than 2,000 Americans soldiers and sailors died in the attack, and another 1,000 were wounded. Through the unique perspective offered by the graphic recollections of combatants from both sides, experience the full force and fury of the most infamous surprise attack in military history. Individual stories of heroism and courage are explored using rare archive footage and interviews with the soldiers who survived, as the story of one of World War IIs most ferocious attacks vividly comes to life.
