Some of Japan's commanders (Isoroku Yamamoto for example) were against fighting against the US for that very reason, but when orders come, they have to obey. People respect oppos from the western front like Rommel, but they often forget about the equally respectable Japanese oppos.

Japan knew they wouldn't win the war. They were fighting so that the Americans would offer a good peace agreement. Maybe why they're expanding so vastly; conquering huge spaces to buy time, until the Americans get tired of the war. The Americans were indeed tired of the war, but it was the jewish international bankers & capitalists that held the whip. Ditto what happens with the British. The majority of the people there pre-war had sympathy for the Germans, but it was the jewish international cliques who held the power and whip and swayed the public opinion.

Leaving a concentration of tanks near a village, even if unoperable, was very stupid idea. They'd be too tempring target for airstrikes. The general made a good decision to evacuate the civvies.

It is Letters from Iwo Jima. It is about the Japanese defense of Iwo Jima against the U.S. Marines. It's told largely from the perspective of General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, who commanded the garrison on the island. He had spent several years in the United States and attended Harvard University before the war.

Its a racial superiority thing, for the Japanese. Whenever possible they used the non-Japanese colonial conscripts from Korea and Taiwan as the vanguard. And when those are exhausted, the Ryukyuans (Okinawans) and Ainu (Hokkaidoans) and Ogasawarans as they were inferior offshoots of the main Yamato (mainland Japanese). Iwo Jima’s Japanese people were mainly mainland Japanese of the Yamato and were spared the cruelty that the Okinawans had faced. To the Japanese commanders these were sub-people who will protect the mainland Japanese. The Okinawans like the Ainu of the north spoke a different language, it has Japonic influences but still heavily developed independently. Their culture, religion, traditions, and face/physical attributes was different as well. The Okinawans were expendable and their loyalty is also of question because they had long been a tributary kingdom of the Chinese and had good trade relations with them. They had their own government and kingdom, their own sovereign before the Japanese had conquered them and they didnt peacefully submit.

There are very good videos here on YT showing that most Japanese troops cared little for Japanese civilians, and often “asked” them to rake dangerous jobs, join attacks, commit suicide, etc. The massive number of Japanese civilian dead in Iwo Jima was part of the US decision to use the atomic bombs, because while tragic the number of civilian deaths would be lower than in an invasion.

The saddest part is that USA gave freedom to tons of criminals and allowed them to go back to the government,and they created a denialist policy and hide ALL the atrocities they commited against both Korean and Japanese civilians,and Japanese people nowadays don't know how harsh their grandparents (and Koreans) had back then.

Gen. Kuribayashi was different though. Having visited the US, he knew how much the Japanese were at a disadvantage. So he ordered that civilians in the island be evacuated.

Usually a tank model have several weak parts(a typical ww2 had problems with tracks, suspension, transmission) that will break first and need replacements. Probably some of these parts had been broken on all the tanks and could therefore not be intechanged. Then it is also possible that there were several different models amongst the tanks(usually you try to avoid mixing different tank models because of the issue with replacement parts).

'City of Life and Death' is a good one, although it takes place a few years before the US declared war on Japan and it also takes place in China but this film gives you a really good perspective from the/a Japanese during the invasion of Manchuria, I also highly recommend 'This Corner of the World' its an animated film and it gives you a very good perspective from the Japanese living in mainland Japan(specifically around Hiroshima) during the beginning, middle and end of the war.

Yes, Iwo Jima was and still is considered Japan, there were also many Japanese colonies on many different islands all around the Pacific. Of course these islands were taken by American forces during and after the war and the Japanese living there(if they survived) were sent back to Japan after the war ended...

look like they are supposed to be type 95 Ha Go tanks, i think very early on in the war in asia, these tanks performed well against the biritsh...but in 1945, these are essentially paper tanks that are equipped with tiny cannon. still, with high explosive rounds they can be used as fire support in static position and hidden well, which is exactly how they were used. but to honest, from the scene here, i find it strange that the general does not know what kind of assets he had on his hands, and when he came across it and asked, he was told that these tanks are waiting for spare parts...this should be a movie thing i supposed, the moment he landed he should be briefed on everything about the island...
