Given the butcher practiced by the Japanese in the Philippines, it's hardly a surprise to find the locals hated them. Its another blank whole in the war time memory of Japan.😮

[@stischer47]

The Japanese learned in the Philippines that the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere was hated by those they conquered. What a surprise.

On January 19, 1944, the Australian Ninth Infantry Division uncovered the Japanese 20th Division’s entire cryptographic library in Sio, New Guinea. This find allowed the Central Bureau, the Southwest Pacific Area’s multinational signals intelligence organization, to master the Imperial Army's codes and ciphers and provide timely intelligence to Allied forces.

By February of 1942, all of the Japanese secret communication codes was already broken by the Americans

[@MrShenyang1234]

Regardless, of one's feelings about the Japanese, Fuchida did an admirable thing by giving the husband, wife & child information as to each others health & wellness. He should be recognized for that.

[@blackpowder4016]

The Japanese often blame the loss of the war on Yamamoto's assassination, regarding him as indispensable. "The cemeteries of the world are filled with indispensable men" said Charles de Gaulle. They lost the war because they believed their own propaganda that Americans were rich fat kids and if you punched them in the belly they'd drop their candy and run home crying. Many have also claimed to have guessed their codes had been broken during the war. It's hard to believe the Japanese would not have changed them. The Japanese admit to breaking at least one low-level American Naval code. Didn't do them much good in the end. The Italians stole the American Black code from the US embassy in Rome in September, 1941 which had no code machine. They chose not to tell or share it with the Germans. Rather, they doled out a few intercepts which helped Rommel in Africa but gave Hitler a false impression of the Italian intelligence service's skill. Meanwhile, US intelligence suspected the British had broken the code because of things Churchill said to Roosevelt and replaced it in June, 1942. What got Yamamoto killed was a staff officer warning his friends of Yamamoto's imminent arrival thereby publishing his itinerary. Yamamoto's insistence on the "decisive battle" like Tsushima might have given the USN the chance to wipe out the IJN instead.

A video title should reflect the bulk of its content. But here it’s just a tiny footnote at the beginning of the video.

It's even worse on some of the videos.

Yet, it would have been easy to check if your code had been compromised. Germany had the same issue with Wolf Packs. The Brits and the US always figured their codes could be. They used a lot of couriers.

[@kensmith8152]

America’s code people were smart by using the code talkers

[@welshpete12]

No US or British high level codes were broken during the second world war .

I would guess if it was easy then Japan would have done it. What are you proposing they should have done?

[@eottoe2001]

@@TomSkinner You'd have decoy plane fly in a relatively safe air space within reach of allied aircraft and say Nugumo is on the plane and see if anyone shows up. The German navy lost hundreds of U-boats before they figured out their codes and radios were compromised. I'm not sure if that is an autocratic blind spot.

[@jameshorn270]

@@eottoe2001 Do not forget the utility of radio direction finding. The U-boats transmitted on schedules, and even when the Germans made an update to Enigma, the allies could get a good momentary picture of where the subs were from triangulating their transmissions.

Excerpts from Fuchifa’s book which has been debunked by modern authors and resonates as a “if only they’d have listened to me” alibi.

[@stuart8663]

Let's make one thing vitally clear. The title "The Americans Must Have Broken Japan’s Top Naval Code" is immediately incorrect and insulting to the WW2 Australian forces who were involved in the journey of de-coding and intel analysis. Including the brave Coastwatchers who sometimes paid with their lives. Both Townsville and Brisbane in Queensland played a huge part in gathering assembling and forwarding data to the Americans in Hawaii.

[@michaelhill9654]

As an American I am thankful for Australian contributions to WW2. Then and now united we stand, divided we fall.

[@haeuptlingaberja4927]

Most bizarre is that uber-confident, insanely fanatical Japanese intelligence seems to have thought that they had outsmarted their insignificant, "inferior" enemies.

[@tonypegler9080]

Considering Fuchida's propensity for lying, I doubt he did suspect the US cracked JN25b

[@Bob.W.]

The problem with everyone coming down on Fuchida at Midway is that none of his errors mattered. The flight decks were not full of loaded planes, but the hangars sure were, and the bombs penetated the wood decks into the hangars. I think Parshall and Tully make too much of the issue. Plus, these are memoirs, which are universally biased, no matter who the author is. Thanks.

What carrier is this above? Is that a Japaese destroyer in the distance?

[@MrDavePed]

Yamamoto sucked. If he was any good he would have never offered any advice but to not make war with the USA. Instead he argued that the USA fleet stationed at Hawaii "held a knife to the throat" of Japan when in actuality it did no such thing without being at war. A war only Japan could initiate. Yamamoto failed to explain to his counterparts that the USA could NOT initiate war with Japan. ..

[@superdave8248]

But you forget the Phillippines. Japan needed the oil in SE Asia and that meant taking Singapore. And between Japan and Singapore is The Phillippines. And when did the Japanese attack the Phillippines? Dec. 8th, 1941.

[@MrDavePed]

@@superdave8248 Japan would have had to leave British and American holdings well alone. Doing so would have allowed the empire to continue and probably to flourish, as opposed to the cwrtain annihilation promised by an attack on the USA. The best way for Japan to obtain oil was to strongarm the Dutch holdings while publicly placating the British and Americans at every opportunity. Whatever options were left to Imperial Japan, starting a war with the United States, a nation which could crush Japan but could NOT start a war with Japan, was definitely not a viable course of action. ..

[@Mark0003260]

Yamamoto did not want a war. He even said he would run wild for 6 months and after that he couldn't guarantee anything. The US was embargoing oil and scrap steel. The Japanese Navy was soon to run out of the ability to fight a war. The demands made by the US were to get out of China and free Korea. Japan was not going to do it. Japan was afraid the US Navy in the Phillipines could cut Japan off from the oil. As for the Dutch, the government in exile of the Netherlands was still in control of Dutch naval assets and were the only people the Dutch colonies were listening too, unlike French Indochina who were taking orders from the Vichy government.

[@tun2w]

@@MrDavePed Yamamoto, as well as several navy figures, were the key figures who were most opposed to wage war with America because they knew that Japan did not have the capability to fight in World War II. Moreover, Japan still needs oil and steel from America. However, Japan at that time was being ruled by the trigger-happy Fascists. So he was forced to light the fire that he didn't want to. You could watch a film called "Isoroku".

[@MrDavePed]

@@tun2w Yamamoto argued that America was holding a knife to Japan's throat. He failed to point out that the United States could not initiate a war with Japan. Yamamoto was a glory hound who very much did his part to doom the Japanese Empire. ..
