What makes this one sort of special, is that, aside from Van Johnson and the other actors, the men seen here were actual veterans of the famous 442nd Regimental Combat Team; the most decorated unit of the United States Army. These were men of Japanese ancestry, or Nisei.. GO FOR BROKE, Pidgin English, meaning Shoot the works!, was the first film to tell the story of men, who although they, and their families were placed in internment camps during WWII, they demonstrated their loyalty to America through sacrifice in combat.. This is their story..
