Very cool. In 1963 I was a 5 year-old U.S. Army dependent living in Kure. One afternoon, my father took me to the cavernous drydock that was the womb of Yamato. To an adult, I'm sure it was mightily impressive. To a 5 year-old, its depth and breadth were both awesome and unsettling, as if it were the cradle of an entire Cosmos.

I've been fascinated with Yamato ever since.

Right on Ducimus! Thanks!

That was the best hour I've spent watching a video in a long time! Cheers to Duci for NOT wasting our time. This is a gem.

Then the gem lead to the much more problematical.

Felix Kersten. Ever hear of him? Heinrich Himmler's doctor. Alarm bells ring. Misgivings are strong. Watch it anyway. It's a remarkable and very ambivalent story. I have to side with the doctor though. He made a deal with Satan and won. If you can conquer your initial disgust, this is a greater gem.
