激動の昭和史 沖縄決戦 (1971)
De Amerikanen naderen snel Okinawa, een eiland net ten zuiden van het Japanse vasteland. Het keizerlijke commando stuurt top generaals en verschillende legerdivisies om het koste wat kost te verdedigen. Nadat een burger evacuatie in een tragedie is geëindigd, worden de meeste niet-strijders gedwongen op het eiland te blijven. Velen bekeren zich tot de status van soldaat. Tokio stuurt gemengde berichten die tijd en middelen verspillen, zoals wanneer ze de verdedigers opdracht geven een landingsbaan te bouwen voor vliegtuigen die nooit komen. De waarheid wordt al snel duidelijk: het opperbevel besluit dat het eiland niet kan worden vastgehouden en laat de Okinawa-verdedigers in de steek. Als de Amerikanen landen, worden veel troepen op de verkeerde plaatsen ingezet. Naarmate de slachting toeneemt, ontstaat er een suïcidale houding. Okinawa wordt een dodelijke valstrik, ook voor burgervrijwilligers en niet-strijders.
