With all the code breaking and deciphering of Japanese secret messages, why was USA caught napping during Peal Harbour raid ?
Historian Max Hastings pointed out that US and UK criptologists were often Jewish.
The Nazis had just as many criptologists, but were significantly less successful.
Perhaps this explains the allies' great success, he suggested.
Elizabeth FREEDMAN . . . . or FRIEDMAN? Ask KFC . . . Corruption of language by pretentious individuals continues today – see FTX,
As soon as I heard Charleton Heston narrating I knew that this was an old documentary. All good info. But nothing new.
Be vigilant.
that very last statement
country's wont know when they will attacked
like what happened on 23/24 February 2022.
sounded so true. GB GB GB
Henry Stimson was a Republican, so of course he'd end the code breaking. We all know the republicans don't care about keeping the US safe. Every republican I've ever come across would sell this country down the road at the first chance. Stimson, trump, they are all the same. Crooks.
This is why you never tell reporters anything. The dumbasses talk too much
Charlton Heston , the narrator, himself held the highest security clearance , top secret, because he narrated classified training films
Like Colonel Sanders
Meanwhile finns used Säkkijärven polkka (song) to detonate soviet bombs
The biggest problem Naval Intelligence in Pearl Harbor had was that no one could come up with a logical explanation for why Japan would even consider attacking the US, as it very clear to them that there was no rational reason to expect that the US wouldn't mop the floor with the Japanese in any war due to the overwhelming advantages the US had in resources, and that included capital a vast advantage in Naval capital ships under construction and due for completion in a relatively short time. In addition, everything the Japanese needed, and everything the US was refusing to send Japan, was at that point readily available to the Japanese if the Japanese went after the colonial empires of the countries that Germany had conquered in 1940. But as that all proved, one can never be sure of what it was your opponent doesn't properly understand.
No limit to how much old stuff can be recycled
I respect any race who fights the white man they raped and enslaved my forefathers and discriminate against me to this day
God I miss Charlton Heston.
While it is correct that in June 1942, total IJN forces headed for Midway far outnumbered USN forces, the USN TFs were much closer in number to Kido Butai, especially in number of planes, and the "Main Body", in which Yamamoto and the battleship Yamato sailed was several hundred miles from Kido Butai. Similarly, the IJN carrier group attacking the Aleutians was far from Midway. By the IJN scattering their forces, the USN TFs could, if necessary, deal with the several IJN groups separately in near-parity or superiority.
The name Shakespeare was signed with several spellings, indicating it was not one author.
taerg mlif. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
😊👍👍
My dad wasn’t in trying to break codes but he spent 3 yrs in Europe, coding and decoding allied messages during WW-ll.
Look more information of Elisabeth Friedman. The greatest code breaker.
Would be a good video if you could hear it.
Plans to attack Pearl Harbor were the worst kept secret in the Japanese military. Dozens, possibly scores of Japanese not involved knew of the plan yet none of them leaked it.
To this day, how much, how far, can the Japanese be trusted?
It’s true that it was the work done at hypo Hawaii was very important.
Does anyone know about the Japanese communication intercept program(s) during WWII?
