Guadalcanal teve que ser defendida até a morte! Após seis meses de batalha mortal, as munições e os suprimentos da guarnição japonesa foram exauridos. Sofrendo de fome, feridas, malária e disenteria amebiana, eles foram finalmente derrotados e a contraofensiva dos militares dos EUA que conquista Guadalcanal espalha-se de ilha em ilha como uma avalanche. Bougainville, o arquipélago de Bismarck, Nova Guiné, Makin, Tarawa e finalmente, a 7 de julho de 1944, os defensores de Saipan escolheram o caminho dos "gyokusai".

The conflict between duty and conscience is explored in the WWII drama The Deep Six. Alan Ladd stars as Naval gunnery officer Alec Austin, a Quaker whose sincere pacifist sentiments do not sit well with his crew members. When he refuses to fire upon an unidentified plane, the word spreads that Austin cannot be relied upon in battle (never mind that the plane turns out to be one of ours). To prove that he's worthy of command, Austin volunteers for a dangerous mission: the rescue of a group of US pilots on a Japanese-held island. The ubiquitous William Bendix costars as Frenchy Shapiro (!), Austin's Jewish petty officer and severest critic. If the film has a villain, it is Keenan Wynn as ambitious Lt. Commander Edge, who seems to despise anyone who isn't a mainline WASP.
This documentary, filmed entirely by military photographers, recounts the U.S. Navy's 1946-47 expedition to Antarctica, known as Operation High Jump. The expedition was under the overall command of Admiral Richard E. Byrd, no stranger to the Antarctic. This was a large undertaking involving 13 ships and over 4000 thousand men. The fleet departed from Norfolk, Virginia traveling through the Panama canal and then southward to their final destination. The trip through the ice pack was fraught with danger and forced the submarine that was part of the fleet to withdraw. The trip was a success meeting all of its scientific goals.
