It was a Canadian television production. They rented what they were offered - the only question is who rented them? Oh yeah, and who was the dumbass technical advisor?
 Not a bad program otherwise... I was expecting a total anti-war, anti-American thing, but they seemed to do a pretty good job, ie the Japanese started it, took it to barbaric lengths and would have dropped the same on us in a heartbeat if they'd had it (as would the Nazis). I have to say I'm rather sick and tired of the WW2 apologists - the other guys started it and behaved abominably, but we finished it. End of story.

Side story
Jon and Geoff,
One of the more interesting and tragic side stories relating to the use of "the bomb" during WWII was that of the ill-fated USS Indianapolis (CA-35). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Indianapolis_(CA-35) for the story of this ship's life and death. Imagine, four and a half days afloat in shark infested waters...

On that Canadian show Love Hate and Propaganda they talk like the Americans were real nasties for fire bombing Tokyo and dropping the two A-bombs! They go on as how the ongoing propaganda was the real reason for these actions and no mention is made of what the alternatives would have meant. It's too bad Canadian TV can't take a more realistic approach.

Jon, I was not involved in this program...Been working on "The Kennedys" for sometime and before that I was working on "Dream House".
I never seem to get the Military shows..but then again, most are made on a shoe string. Dean

Striking how dumbed-down these recent "documentaries" are compared to what was made 20 to 30 years ago.
But then a lot of 20 somethings don't know who was on what side in WWII anyway.  After the Valour and the Horror, Canada; a People's History and similar anglophobe drivel, I no longer bother to watch CBC/NFB pablum. These are the people who "inserted" a black and a woman into the Avro Arrow design team. After all, we can't let people know it was all done by white guys!
