What do we have here?
A great novels foundation,a very interesting faction taking place at an outstanding spot of the WWIIs pacific campaign.
And THEN???!!:
-weird clips of different WWIIs-even WWIs - theaters thrown in one pot;mixed up with animated scenes and cartoons like i a childrens early noon tv programme at ear deafening volume, too!The viewer isnt a child, the story gets ruined by that way of narration! Though the story is great - the presentation is unprofessional ! Work it over !!

The picture of the 'Asian' at that point is actually a Korean who was captures by the Allies on D-Day in Europe. If you look carefully, he's wearing German uniform. He was initially drafted into Japanese army, captured by Russia, and than captured by German. The Germans put him on the beach where he was captured.
Thought you'd want to know.
