  1. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Part 5 of memoirs of Two former officers of the Imperial Japanese Navy, who tell their version of the history of the kamikaze attacks. One of them served as senior staff officer to Vice Admiral Takijiro Ohnishi, who initiated Japan's kamikaze attacks against American ships in the Philippines. Second Officer was flight operations officer for the 201st Air Group, which organized the first kamikaze special attack corps. Their memoirs cover the kamikaze operations from October 19, 1944, the date of the formation of the first kamikaze special attack corps, to the end of the war.

  5. I have this guy's AI voice narrating my life as I live it, with everone renamed with Japanese names:

    "Hiro and I returned from our sorte at track meet, accompanied by pleasant winds as we walked towards algebra class. The gentle breeze was tempered, however, with the knowledge we would have to fight the Americans at any moment…"

  6. The narratives from the retired Japanese Officers are excellent. Hearing the voices of these gentlemen shines a light on an aspect of the war that I've never been exposed to before. Very enlightening.

  8. “”Arrogant enemy”? Well, we have seen an arrogant enemy in China, Burma, Java, Siam, the Philippines, New Guinea, the Aleutians, Wake Island, etc , etc,. A total of THIRTY MILLION MURDERS, of which TWENTY THREE MILLION were Chinese – including 250,000 murdered after the Doolittle Raid. Don’t talk to me about your sacrifice and morale. It is a debt you can never clear.

  10. I'm not sure if other people have noticed this or not but he completely overstates the amount of American naval forces sunk by kamikazee and bomber planes. I know from some of the story that he's definitely done some research but I don't know if he got a hold of American naval records or not. Anyhow it's pretty inaccurate.

  15. Ironically, the suicidal strategy of the Kamikazes and their land forces was the primary factor in Truman's approval of nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki. By avoiding a main island invasion, at least 5 million mostly Japanese lives were saved. In addition, had the US not used the A-bombs and instead invaded the main islands, postwar Japan would have been similar to Germany, where the Soviets achieved some of the occupied territory.

  18. These diaries display the arrogance and faulty decision-making of the Japanese general staff, not least of which was blind obedience to orders. It was Japan's attack of Pearl Harbor, which resulted in America's declaration of war, mobilizing our country to defeat tyranny on all fronts. It's imperative to remember this today.

  19. Even in the Solomans, where the IJN sank two USN carriers to a loss of one of theirs, the Japanese continued to weaken. The manic pursuit of U.S. carriers yielded little, even when the USN was at one time down to one operational carrier.

  20. There are inaccuracies in the memoirs and he even sinks to the level of believing his own propaganda. But I advise people to chill out. This is what memoirs do, especially if you're on the losing side. You're not going to find Lee apologizing on every page for the sins of the South. And when you read Guderian's memoirs, all you see is how nicely they treated their prisoners. And amazingly guderian is able to describe his parts in the battles in Russia as a long series of smart moves on his part: when in truth, he and his Nazi friends were getting their butts whipped all the way across Ukraine, Eastern Europe and back to Germany. But you'd never guess that from reading his memoirs. In all these serious and even ponderous Japanese memoirs, you never see a single moment of self-reflection where the author says “Holy cow. We grabbed the tiger by the tail when we bombed Pearl. And then we got whipped all the way across the pacific back to the home island and nuked on top of it. Our leaders were real idiots.“

  21. The more I learn about Imperial Japan- and I have been reading about it for 55 years- the more I conclude that this was a society that had simply gone insane. Nothing they did from the inception of militarism through starting a war they knew they would lose, to the utterly incomprehensible and obviously counterproductive cruelty and barbarity of their treatment of opponents and even allies, even when they knew the war was lost- makes any rational sense. This was an army and by extension a people and a culture gone mad.

  23. Kamakazes sunk 3 Victory ships with a total of 54 Million pounds of ammunition during Okinawa battle.
    Only the Americans could absorb such a loss with little effect on the battle.
