After the war, it was found and acknowledged that the Emperor did not authorize going to war. He had been committed to peace since the beginning. The real instigators of the conflict was Tojo and the Army hotheads who tried to take control entirely; even to the point of attempting a coup against the Emperor himself. McArthur exonerated him of all charges and even agreed to make him instrumental to the rebuilding of the japanese culture and their lives. Historians still debate on the ramifications if the Declaration of War by japan had been on time and the sneak attack hadn't happened at all. Would the US had as much resolve to end the war, or would it have been more lacksidasical in nature? It just goes to prove that, according to Murphy's Law of Warfare, "No plan survives first contact with the enemy." Just as with Rommel of germany, Yamamoto was a true hero of the people and his country and nothing should be allowed to change it.

司令長官が意味のない、前線視察。 敗戦を悟った五十六は死場所を自ら選んのでしょう。

Good Riddance? Why the sweet music??

Yeah, they have Yamamoto dressed in an Army uniform. The Navy did not put their rank on lapels like the Army did.

He knew the game was up when he saw the fighters

He appears to be thinking about how bad he screwed up at Pearl harbor and Midway.

Where can I watch the entire film?

Poked the wrong bear

増槽を捨てるシーンを入れてくれたのはカッコイイ

You would think that to protect a man like Yamamoto the Japanese would of used more than just 6 fighters.

I love to go to this museum all the time! I even have a 36th ID impression and go to kings hobby lots! amazing video

FAFO

The odds of intercepting his plane were astronomical . Divine intervention .

Nah... Yamamoto went down in flames, screaming in terror... 🔥 It was at that moment, he knew he "F"d up, again...

当時の日本軍上役の中でも山本五十六は米国との開戦には反対派だったと伝えられています…その為日本軍の中で腰抜け扱いをされたとも伝えられています…そして否が応でも米国との開戦に突き進んでいく中で山本は「１年間は存分に暴れて見せましょう…その間に何としても米国との講話に持ち込むように」と当時の日本政府に諫言したそうです…。

the zero that went after the downed plane of Admiral Yamamoto was as if it was a crying child running after his dieing father.

The real Yamamoto died an honorable death, as well. He was thrown clear from the wreckage, still in his seat, still gripping his katana. He had taken two 50 cal rounds, one through his left shoulder and one through the left lower jaw that exited above his right eye. Both were fatal wounds, and Yamamoto would have been dead long before his aircraft crashed. An honorable enemy and an honorable death. Rest in peace, Isoroku Yamamoto.

Any one knows the complete tail. number of yamamotos Betty . We know the squadron number but not the individual plane one

護衛戦闘機は24機必要だった

That wasn't as it happened. There was 2 Betty's, but there was only a few fighters. Both Betty's were shot down along with a couple of the escorts. The other part of it is that the escorts didn't see the Lightnings until they went past them. When the ones went after the bombers, the fighters got attacked by the other Lightnings. The Lightnings had their plan. Some would tangle with the escorts while others went after the bombers. The thing about Yamamoto was that he opposed the war with the US. The emperor opposed the war as well. It was the expansionist Army that wanted the war. The Army knew they couldn't survive if they didn't get the materials they needed. They also knew they couldn't attack someone without getting involved with America. Yamamoto could only guarantee Japan would have 6 months before America would mobilize and fight back. Due to the losses at Midway and Guadalcanal, Yamamoto was on his way down. Being shot down saved him that fate.

Decent enough re-creation of the event, but at 04:40 the Zeros flying top cover would have been behind and MUCH higher than the bombers. And the Zero pilot seeing the Lightnings would have been looking forward and down... and the approaching Lightnings-- as they attacked-- would have been underneath and rising up on their attack run.

This would equal to the Confederacy losing Robert Lee/and or Longstreet

OPERATION VENGEANCE COMPLETE

He was a learned man and had respect and fear of America's RESOURCES, MILITARY & ENORMOUS ARSENAL & ABILITY TO FABRICATE & SUPPLY THE FLEET & IMPLEMENT GREAT SEA & AIR CRAFT & PERSONNEL. He knew it was a mistake to poke the bear and spin the wheel of military fortune ...... he may not have been stoic as displayed herein ..... but, an honorable man among heathen arrogant militant mindsets ..... all paid a price.

You know it's hard to connect the professional Naval Officers of the Empire of Japan to the more, shall we say evil Japanese Army that ran the prisoner of war camps and their camps that experimented on captured soldiers with the evil shit they did. It's almost like two sides of the Japanese military.

Mothra! Godzilla!

Movie can’t be true to what war and combat are like, civilians can’t cope with it. Saving private Ryan Omaha beach is about the limit for an Audience. That’s just imagining and sound, the taste, smell and feeling the sweet and grim are missing. that’s the 3 D version and the impact to your mind is 4D and beyond

That was not nice at all. 😢😢 Maybe the Zeros didn't let the P-38s get home, and they shot them down.😢😢😢

Yamamoto was a naval officer not an army officer...It is said he was shot before his aircraft hit the ground....he would have not looked pristine...

The pilot who shot his plane down was an ace - Richard Bang.

Rest in peace 😢🥀

The only Japanese leader I had any real respect for.

Lol. Japan is still trying to make up for its weak communications security.

Japs should've sent up several decoys with escorts running parallel fight paths 5-10 miles apart.

Lightning!!!

went down like a code broke bitch

Never get into a turning fight with a Zeke.

Much better CGI aircraft footage than for example the movie Midway which was total Carp (sic)!

Well, he maybe ok after crashing into the jungle. Ok, well maybe not.

People say he was against the war however, he took charge of it, he followed through, he prosecuted the war instead of resigning. I don't care how he felt about his role, he did it and he kept doing it. A man has choices. Stop apologizing for a murderer, if he hadn't died in battle the US would've executed him for Pearl Harbor.

Yamamato's pilot should have climbed as high and as fast as he could when they made first visual contact with enemy to make enemy overshoot and give his fighters time to counter attack,and then dive down to low level and hope the enemy runs out of ammo or fuel and buy his fighters time for second attack on attacker`s

Last thoughts … crap I left the water running

The man who shot down Yamamoto's plane was a guy called Rex Barber.

12.7mm弾が人体に命中したら、こんなもんじゃないだろう。 恐らく誰だか分からない。

何故、昭和天皇は統帥権を発動して停戦しなかったのでしょうか？ 伏見野宮博康王（昭和天皇より25歳年上で海軍軍人）が、暗躍していたそうです。明治憲法には、天皇は、陸海軍を統帥する旨が明記してあります。伏見野宮博康王は、皇室の海軍軍人で日露戦争に勝利しました。国力さは、10対１でしたが当時のロシアはロマノフ王朝で、レーニンが中心となり所謂内戦状態でした。明石大佐が、レーニンに接近し革命運動を手を貸し内部から国力を弱め、バルチック艦隊を東郷平八郎が撃滅し二百三高地を乃木希典・児玉源太郎が攻略したから勝利できたのです。太平洋戦争は、状況が違います。国力差は、２０対１です。アメリカの内部工作も不可能でした。既に、暗号も解読され日本のスパイが、春帆楼から真珠湾を偵察している事も知っていました。真珠湾攻撃は、ルーズベルト大統領が仕込んだ餌だったのです。リメンバー・パールハーバーのキャッチフレーズが、欲しかった事は後の資料から明らかになっています。軍部が、伏見野宮博康王を担ぎ出して昭和天皇に圧力をかけ、御前会議で四方の海（明治天皇の詩）を詠んで、木戸内大臣に感想を求めただけで開戦が決定しました。戦法としては、ハワイ真珠湾奇襲しかなかったのです。今になって考えれば、ハワイに上陸し日本の基地を造りアメリカ本土を攻撃していれば、勝算は有ったかもしれません。しかし、南雲機動部隊は第二次攻撃をしませんでした。完全に作戦負けです。

America failed to learn from Yamamoto and lost in Vietnam and Afghanistan.
