Topics
Paul McGann: 本集讲述了东条英机在二战中的所作所为以及最终的结局。从他掌控日本军政大权，到发动战争，再到战争失败后试图自杀，最终被捕并以战犯的身份被处决。本集还讲述了日本在战争末期所犯下的暴行，包括塞班岛的集体自杀事件以及原子弹袭击后的投降。 Francis Pike: 东条英机在二战期间集权，掌控了日本多个重要部门，权力超过以往任何一位首相。他极端民族主义和种族主义的思想导致其采取野蛮、非人道的方式行事。 Anthony Best: 天皇作为军队统帅，军队首脑向天皇汇报，而非内阁。然而，天皇被告知必须作为立宪君主统治，并被建议不要干预政治。天皇通常对军事事务采取不干涉的态度，偶尔会发表一些笼统的评论来引导军队，但很少直接下令。 Mark Felton: 东条英机的军事策略失误，导致日本军队在多个战场上损失惨重，士兵死于疾病和饥饿，甚至出现了同类相食的现象。日本军队的后勤系统混乱，士兵被灌输了武士道精神，期望光荣战死或进行自杀式冲锋。 Michael Lynch: 塞班岛战役是日本二战中的决定性事件，岛上日本平民集体自杀令人震惊。日本平民被灌输了对美国的恐惧，宁愿自杀也不愿被俘。日本高层担心，如果平民投降并发现美国人并非像宣传中所说的那样邪恶，可能会引发国内动乱。塞班岛的集体自杀事件是一场悲剧，显示了日本军方的冷酷无情和天皇与事件的密切关系。
