Life of a Kamikaze



Itโ€™s April 12th, 1945, and Nine Mitsubishi G4M Betty bombers and their escort of A6M Zero fighters soar over the East China Sea. In the leading bomber, Lieutenant Saburo Dohi puts on his oxygen mask and lies back on his makeshift cot, breathing deeply. His mind is focused on one thing: the new secret weapon held in the bowels of the Betty, a weapon the Japanese hope will change the course of the war. The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka was the chariot of the Thunder Gods. Volunteer pilots who would give everything for Japan. We try to lift the veil on the life of these young pilots. To try and understand their training and their friendships and to explore why they would strive to make the ultimate sacrifice. To find out more on the Thunder Gods check out the great book by Dan King, โ€˜Blossoms From the Skyโ€™ which was one of the sources we used for this video. The Ohka was used successfully by Saburo Dohi when he hit the destroyer Mannert L. Abele causing it to split in half and subsequently sink.

  1. We thought long and hard doing this one. No doubt the Okha design is very cool but we in no way support the actions of the Japanese pilots. We wanted to do a video that showed their story from their view and reading 'Blossoms From the Sky' by Dan King inspired us to make this. Tell us if you think we got it right or wrong !

    As an American, who had multiple family memebers fight in the war, a few in the Pacific, this gave me a new respect for the Japanese soldiers they fought against. We don't get a whole lot of media portraying them as honorable, respectable, and selfless. Great video. May we never have to fight another war like that ever again. We need to find a way to coexist on this planet. I hope we find life out in the galaxy somewhere soon. I think that will be the thing that will finally unite us as a species.

  4. Wasn't the revolutionary (at that time) jet engine for the Okhas developed by Germany? Its blueprints and a few engineers were transported in a U-boat all the way to Japan?

    An actual interview of a US Navy sailor onboard a warship hit by an Okha said it came in very fast and low. Nothing like he ever seen before.

    I think it won't a Buddhist ceremony. It was a Shinto ceremony.

  5. Nanjung Ilgi: War Diary of Admiral Yi Sun-sin

    UNESCO

    Memory of the World

    Imjin War

    The Attack on Pearl Harbor

    The Bombing of Chongqing

    Japan's hobby of war of aggression without declaration of war

    foreigners who defend the Nazis

    a Nazi-loving foreigner

    It's too weird.

    At that time, Japan was an Asian Nazi

    German Nazi = Japanese Empire

    Japan's war crimes competed against the German Nazis

    At that time, Japan was a twisted and evil country

    The Japanese military has slaughtered countless civilians in Asia

    Japanese civilians also slaughtered Koreans ……………………………………………………………………………

    In short, Japanese civilians are also Nazis

    For one example ้—œๆฑๅคง่™ๆฎบ ๊ฐ„ํ†  ๋Œ€ํ•™์‚ด Kanto Massacre

    The Japanese set up prisons in every city in Korea for torture and murder

    Seodaemun Prison

    Unit 731

    Japan's historical distortion, historical revisionism, is too absurd

    Japan is the same democracy, but it distorts and hides its history

    Germany teaches history accurately

    The Japanese should emulate the Germans

    Come to Korea and study history

    There is a lot of historical evidence in Korea

    It's an accurate history

    Germany and Japan were allies in World War II

    As soon as industrialization was successful, Japan waged war and massacred countless civilians

    the Asian Holocaust

    the Asian Nazis

    I must say that American soldier was necessary and it saved at least 20x more lives considering that Imperial Japan never wanted to stop doing Asian holocaust

    Hiroshima

    Nagasaki

    At that time, Japan made handmade handicrafts at home

    I'm sorry to the Japanese civilians killed in the bomb, but we have to check the number of civilians killed by the Japanese military during that period

    Thank the American soldier for stopping the Asian Nazis

    Every country has a dark history. That's one thing. Whether they are ashamed and regret the wrong doings in the past and not cover it up is another

    The adults told me a lot of stories

    There are so many war crimes committed by Japanese soldiers

    But Japan denies history

    Japanese right-wing nationalists

    Yasukuni Shrine

    It's like calling Nazi Hitler a hero

    The Japanese should learn the right history instead of pretending to be war victims

    Japan should reflect on itself

    It's important to learn history correctly for future generations

    Koreans don't want compensation

    They want to learn the right history and truly reflect on each other and form a consensus

    As soon as Japan invaded Korea

    the murder of Empress Myeongseong

    At that time, the king of Japan was a god and the king of other countries was a beast

    The king of Japan was enshrined as a god, but after the war was defeated, he declared himself a human being

    Hirohito

  6. The determination is impressive. The idea is radical. The motive is noble… If you are on the right side of history.

    Nazis and the Japanese were not. Nazis had "Aktion T4" and the Japanese had "Unit 731", among many other crimeful atrocities on their record. These alone justify their rightful destruction.

    The video still does a great job at presenting how it must have felt like for the pilots.
