JAPAN: Eyewitness Kamikaze

At the end of World War II, the Japanese attempted to avoid defeat by deploying a terrible new strategy of mass suicide attacks. Japanese pilots hit more than 150 allied ships and killed more than four thousand sailors. For the young crewmen facing the almost daily onslaught of kamikaze attacks, it was an experience they would never forget. Hear the stories by the survivors themselves.
