It is true it goes all the way back to the cold war and the Cuban missile crisis when one of the reasons not attacking Cuba was that it would be against everything the US stands for after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Try

World war 2 (part 1)

This has a lot of footage you've seen before, (aka the taking over of Germany, Pearl Harbor) and some you havent (Whoa! I never knew the Nazi Party had a rally in NYC, In Madison Square Garden no less!!) so some of it is quite fascinating. The first half is better than the second half, which is, excuse the term, a bit pedestrian. And there's some rather spotty editing, not too sure if it's splices or what, but some scenes are badly put together. But still, amazing footage! A feature length motion picture presenting step-by-step the events which led up to Pearl Harbor and total war. History, --- filmed as it happened, shows the massacre of Ethiopia, the invasion of Austria and Czechoslovakia, the blitz of Poland, the tragic fall of France. Material was taken from secret government archives.

Remembering Pearl Harbor

Life for a young sailor, based in Hawaii during the early 1940s, must have seemed an idyllic assignment with sunny days at the beach, routine drills on base, and time spent with comrades. One young sailor vividly captured the times with photographs and carefully posted them in an album. On the morning of December 7th, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the album was the one thing the sailor saved during the attack. Will Seippel, CEO and founder of WorthPoint, recently purchased the album and thought the members might enjoy the photos as much as he does.
