The fight over open water, constant pressure on both sides, and lack of knowledge and experience really hindered both sides.

    • @denvan3143
      @denvan3143 Před 2 měsíci +1

      While the facts contradict Fuchida’s account, it is likely the way he remembered the events. He was recovering from an appendectomy, was almost certainly on pain medications, Both of his ankles were broken during the attack, he had seen the destruction of three of the aircraft carriers and knew many of his fellow pilots were dead or dying.
      There are many Americans who swear that on 9/11 they saw the first airliner crash into world trade tower One on live television as the event happened; that isn’t possible because there was no live television feed with a camera pointing at world trade tower One when the event happened but that’s the way people remember that traumatic event.
      Claiming that he knowingly lied is a claim of mind reading; we don’t know what was going through the man’s mind at the time. To judge that he was willfully lying about the events is arbitrary and seems to be evidence of animus toward him, for whatever reason.

      That was not the only factor it is the 1 of the factor why, the second was the Russians also, declared war on Japan and started rapidly gaining the weak Japanese forces in Asia. After the victory against Germany the Russians went after the Japanese to gain ground of territory s, Japan was fighting a two front war. They rather surrender to the American forces vs Russians. The emperor knew they lost the war with the Americans and the Russians at their heels. If they only fought the Americans they would have fought to the bitter end. With the Russians getting close they had no choice. The only choice was to surrender to the Americans. The Russians and the Japanese did not like each other they knew the Russians would slaughter them.

      2) both were driven by passion, tradition and pride , not realistic expectations.
      3) both were told what to believe by those warmongering , and not telling the truth that war with a perceived enemy was not winnable .

      Good points. William T. Sherman was working at a college in Louisiana when the confederacy seceded. He quickly pointed out that the south had very little industrial capacity and couldn’t run a war for long. This should have been obvious when a sizable number of confederate troops showed up at Gettysburg without shoes.

      Not surprisingly, at the time of PH attack, IJN had more combat experienced pilots, given the war against China. They also had a faster, more maneuverable aircraft in the Zero and their launch and recovery techniques for Carriers were far superior to the uSN. However, their pilots weren’t “better” than US pilots. In fact. US pilot training was superior, a major fact which enabled the USN to catch up to and surpass the IJN in 1942. in addition to training, USN rotated pilots from sea duty back to the US to train new pilots and develop dogfighting and bombing technique. This developed skill and depth in the ranks. IJN pilots served at sea until they died, were injured or war ended. Same for their mechanics. When they lost 4 carriers at Midway, they lost many of their best pilots and skilled mechanics. They never recovered from nor replaced that loss.
