Dear Pacific War students,
I lived in Japan from 1963 until 1980 trying to discover why FDR and his administration began committing acts of War against Japan in the mid 1930s at the time of FDR's Great Depression and when Japan was the greatest trading partner of the USA. I began my collection of books on the subject then and continues to this day. This film provides a crucial piece of the puzzle. While in Japan I learned little but upon return with the greater availability of books in English, many out of print, many stripped from library shelves by FDR defenders, many just burned or slandered but all available on the used book market the pieces began to form a picture of the truth behind this unnecessary war.
Sorge was a truly effective genius and tipped the balance. It was the huge Asian Soviet Army equipped and trained for winter warfare that raced back to Moscow and save Stalin from Hitler about 15 miles from Moscow at the very moment that the Pacific Fleet was sinking to the bottom of Pearl Harbor thanks mostly to Roosevelts determination to drag us into a TWO FRONT WAR to get him into the war with Hitler. Why a two front war? FDR was a mad man who knew nothing of fighting wars, and on diplomacy was an intellectual moron. Had FDR's administration not been infiltrated with Communists, the CPUSA in NYC and financed by Hollywood, FDR and our State Department just might have seen into Stalin's Grand Strategy of getting us to protect the back of the USSR by war with Japan. Stalin was clearly the most cleaver of the leaders of the 20 Century. Sorge played a huge and successful part in all this.
Just imagine Japan at War with the USSR, no two front war for the USA, and all our resources going after Hitler, both Naziism and Communism would not have survived WWII, no Communist China, no Kennedy Johnson slaughter in Viet Nam and no Truman war in Korea.
