Info, Dokumentation

In wenigen Wochen wurde ein riesiges Reich geschaffen: Die Episode beginnt mit dem Sieg in Malaya und dem Fall von Singapur. Dann fallen die Philippinen und Birma, und Thailand wird zu einem Bündnis gezwungen. An der Heimatfront jubeln die Menschen und es werden Geschenke an alle Haushalte verteilt. Doch die Erfolge führen zu einem logistischen Albtraum. Die Auswirkungen der mangelnden Zusammenarbeit zwischen der kaiserlichen japanischen Armee und der kaiserlichen Marine werden erforscht. Nur sechs Monate nach Pearl Harbor beginnt der Krieg zu kippen.
