Operation Vengeance: The Secret Mission to Assassinate the Architect of the Pearl Harbor Attack

[@oceanhome2023]

[@khkartc]

I understand that Japanese Admiral Ozawa expressed dismay at Yamamoto’s including all of the details of his itinerary in even a coded message. He could sense how much was riding on the unbreakability of JN-25-I.e., high consequence-no matter how low the perceived risk was of decryption. No one on the Japanese side could know the _actual_ risk, and their perceptions were informed all along by their racist dismissal of America as a nation of ignorant, cowardly barbarians. Even Ozawa had to learn that lesson the hard way in the Philippine Sea.

Peripheral-Credit for the success of Operation Vengeance must be given to Charles A. Lindbergh. Blackballed by the White House from U.S. military service due to his pre-war opposition to belligerence, Pacific Commanders Nimitz and MacArthur surreptitiously employed a belatedly-proactive Lindbergh to improve the aeronautic technologies and tactics employed in that theater. Lindbergh demonstrated operational techniques which extended the range of the P-38 Lightening and made Operation Vengeance (and other operations) feasible.

Lindbergh also personally participated in several aerial actions which reflect great credit upon himself and add to the legacy of superior American airmanship.

I think Yamamoto insisted that a declaration of war was delivered before the attack on Pearl Harbor. But poor deciphering(or intentional malice) delayed it in DC. I can't quite honor the man, but the attack on Pearl was brilliant. Also believe he was against warring with the US, knowing the eventual outcome

[@JohnRodriguesPhotographer]

He predicted he could run wild for 6 months. After that he had no confidence. He was the Japanese Naval attache in Washington. He traveled in the states and knew once mobilized the United States would be an unstoppable juggernaut confronting Japan.

[@denvan3143]

Yamamoto’s attack on Pearl Harbor was spectacular but Vlog both tactically and strategically. US battleships that were sunk were out, dated in already Bing replace by newer and better versions. The Japanese fighter pilots we’re not efficient, landing many torpedoes on certain ships and missing other more important targets completely. The carriers were not at Harbor; they were an essential target. The Japanese did not destroy the US fuel reserves; the loss of these would have driven the fleet back to the US West Coast. Japanese did not destroy the US submarine fleet at Pearl Harbor, which immediately sent to sea. From Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, the Japanese military, completely misunderstood the will of the United States. The surprise attack was supposed to bring the the US to the table to negotiate a peace agreement. Instead it united it was all of the American people to burn Japan to the ground - and that is exactly what happened. With the atomic bomb and hand, President Truman offered a slightly altered demand for surrender from Japan; they no longer insisted on giving up the emperor. The Japanese miss interpreted this as weakening resolve only part of America. They had no idea the US military now I have the most powerful weapon in the world and was ready to use it Against the home island. Beginning to end, Japan never understood America. I don’t understand the Japanese either; that is why I find them fascinating.

[@apapa5495]

The ones that gave the order to bomb Japan with nukes were just plain criminals. There was no need to drop the nuclear bombs as Japan was at the point of been surrendered.

[@7heRedBaron]

Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth, or shot in the head as the case may be.

[@katnerd6712]

Yamamoto's reasoning for not attacking the US, I recall reading somewhere, was based on his knowledge of the country having, by a huge margin, the largest industrial infrastructure in the world. Probably dwarfing all other Western nations combined. To the best of my knowledge he was the only leader opposing the Allies who was actually aware of this, the others simply fearing the US's natural resources being thrown behind Britain's manufacturing industry.

[@walterulasinksi7031]

Since the US had issued a declaring of war against Japan following Pearl Harbor, all military commanders were fair targets. The main secret was to give the appearance of the timing ,being coincidental, as to not expose that the Japanese codes had been broken. After the formal Japanese announcement of his death even a small controversy of who actually shot down the flight was diverted into a bragging rights squabble to distract from the code breaking. But even thar squabble should never have happened. It is why Mitchell was only honored with a Navy Cross as was appropriate, since the combat was not one of exceptional valor. Had Mitchel or anyone else been given such honors, it would have tipped the hand as to what had actually occurred.

[@macrefinerymartinez1430]

Correct. All commanders were fair targets. Labeling the attack as the "assassination" of Yamamoto is postmodernist historical revisionism.

I think the name of the operation speaks volumes.

I heard Lanphier and Tony LeVier speak once. Lanphier said that he was clearing his guns - and the plane flew into it. That would have meant that his damage was to the front of the plane. Damage to the front of the plane was in fact more likely to contribute to it's loss but we can't know if Lanphier hit it. There is NO front to the wreck - it was destroyed in the crash. So - of course no one could find bullet holes except in the rear - because that was the only part left. You can see the wreck yourself on KZbin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoLCeqJoba6Cadk Barber's home town sponsored an expedition and had a home town "Historian" claim that Barber had sole credit. Anyone giving any credit to what someone's home town said is a fool. The Army dealt with multiple claims - *_ALL THE TIME_* . Both men fired on the plane - both men got credit for half a kill. That was the correct thing to do. Besides - it didn't matter who shot him down. There were originally 18 planes assigned to the mission. Two dropped out for mechanical reasons (the very reason they had extra planes assigned) and twelve of those that remained were keeping the escort off the killer fight - which was led by Lanphier. All of these men were part of the mission and each was performing his role. They ALL deserve credit for being part of that mission - and - for one guy to be bragging that he and he alone was the one who got him - is bull shit. Initially Lanphier (who was high and to the right) did not see Barber (who was astern) fire on the plane - so when he landed - he went in and said he had shot it down. This started things between these two guys that never ended. That is a shame as both of them were part of it and both deserve partial credit. Anyone thinking that they can determine what - exactly - happened is kidding themselves. That's why the Army didn't bother with this bull shit of "who" shot down who. The Army was concerned with the success of the mission - not who got the glory. .

Pretty stupid mistakte to publish a claim who had killed the Admiral cause every Japanese would have known that the Admiral could not be identified onboard a plane while in a dog fight cause that was not a battleship you could identify. The Japanese must or should have known about such plot and plan since then cause everybody who could claim to have killed the Admiral must have been waiting for him there and therefore must have known about his journey and schedules so that the Japanese could easily guess that their code had been deciphered and the Admiral was a victim of that decryption.

As soon as the smoke cleared over Pearl Harbor I think Yamamoto realized Japan had made a huge mistake. Yamamoto spent a fair amount of time in this country as a Naval Attache and grad student. He was familiar with the American culture and our huge industrial and production capacity. The attack on Pearl Harbor was not the Strategic victory they hoped it would be. He remarked that the attack had awoken the "Sleeping Giant" and eventually this giant stomped Japan into a pile of rubble.

[@juliemerritt5144]

Scott Murphy He did. He said Japan had awakened the sleeping Giant.

[@GeeBee909]

Their BIG mistake: not destroying the fuel pits which surrounded Pearl Harbor and were clearly visible from the air. Strategically they should launched a third strike only to do this (I understand not doing this one the first strikes because of the smoke it would have created). The U.S. got VERY lucky this was not done and said so (because then, ALL fuel would have had to come from the mainland, taking days). That's why today at Pearl you no longer see fuel pits. They are now buried underground and in the mountains.
