At the end of World War II, the American Navy found themselves facing a new foe on the battlefield --the Imperial Japanese kamikazes. These brave warriors from Japan were one of the most deadly enemies on the battlefield. They were also the first to use their airplanes as suicidal weapons. Navy boats and coastal forts were caught off guard by these surprising tactics (Which ultimately lead to a great deal of American causalities).
“Kamikaze Pilots of World War II” takes a comprehensive look at the world these suicidal pilots lived in. Learn about the culture of Japan, and why they ultimately made the decision to use such horrendous battlefield tactics. We also take a look at the final moments of some of the men involved in the bombings of Pearl Harbor and other naval attacks.
