Voir Race to Victory: WWII Pacific - Episode 1

May 8, 1945. As Europe celebrated the defeat of Germany and the Third Reich, the battle against Japan halfway around the world raged on. It would take another hundred days for the U.S. to finally declare victory, a span that would feature the most grueling, violent, and dramatic moments of the Pacific campaign. Through archival combat footage and personal accounts from an American Marine and a Japanese admiral, we present the inside story of the Pacific War’s final days, from Okinawa to Hiroshima to the global celebration of V-J Day.
