Paul McGann: 本集讲述了东条英机从参与相泽事件到发动太平洋战争的经历，揭示了他极端民族主义的思想和对战争的推动作用。他利用Kempeitai等机构巩固权力，最终成为日本首相，并对中国人民犯下滔天罪行。 Mark Felton: 东条英机通过控制Kempeitai，建立了严密的监控和镇压网络，对日本国内外的异见人士进行残酷的迫害。他支持并推动了对中国的侵略战争，为南京大屠杀等暴行提供了条件。 Francis Pike: 日本Kempeitai从最初的军事警察逐渐演变为一个极权的政治警察组织，其残酷性和对平民的压迫性在日本帝国主义扩张时期达到了顶峰。 Michael Lynch: 南京大屠杀是日本侵略战争中最严重的暴行之一，其残酷程度令人发指，对中国人民造成了巨大的伤害。 Anthony Best: 日本对中国的侵略战争并非不可避免，而是由东条英机等极端民族主义者推动的。他们低估了美国的军事实力，最终导致了太平洋战争的爆发。他们对战争的发动也与日本国内资源匮乏和人口过剩的压力有关。 Paul McGann: 本集还揭露了731部队在东条英机的默许下进行的令人发指的人体实验，以及日本军国主义的残酷本质。这些暴行不仅对中国人民造成了巨大的伤害，也给世界带来了深远的影响。
