War Strategy Revealed: Pearl Harbour

43 min

A task force of over 20 ships and more than 350 aircraft slipped out of Hitokappu Bay off the northern coast of Japan. Sadao Chigusa was a lieutenant commander on the destroyer Akigumo. The top-secret mission was intended to destroy the U.S. Navy and crush America's fighting spirit. The destination of the task force was the empty sea, 230 miles to the north of Hawaii. This was within striking range of the American fleet. From here the Japanese would launch the biggest aerial attack in history. Pearl Harbor was no simple target. It was one of the most secure military bases in the world. No one thought it would be attacked from the sea. Nobody dreamt it would be attacked from the air. Wars are not won with luck or firepower. Much like a great game of chess, wars are won with strategy. Uncover the strategy that guaranteed victory, or defeat, in some of these most decisive battles of modern history.

MovieDocumentary
An exhilarating breakdown of some of history's most decisive battles. With expert analysis and eyewitness accounts examining the strategy behind the chaos of the war. From the start of the First World War in 1914, Germany pursued a highly effective U-boat campaign against merchant shipping. This campaign intensified over the course of the war and almost succeeded in bringing Britain to its knees in 1917. On 4 February 1915, Germany declared a war zone around Britain, within which merchant ships were sunk without warning. This 'unrestricted submarine warfare' angered neutral countries, especially the United States. After failing to seize control of the sea from the British at the Battle of Jutland in 1916, Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare on February 1st, 1917. On April 23rd, 1918, British naval forces attacked U-boat bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge. By the Armistice, the U-boat threat had been neutralised.
