How did Japanese Americans efforts help out in WWII?

Answer 1

Ever heard of wind talkers? well native Americans were used to send codes and whatnot to other companys, theyd speak their native tongue to another native American in some other company, the enemy soon learned about it and it died out quickly, theyd capture a "wind talker" and make them tell them what the code said.

Answer 2

If by Japanese you mean the sovreign nation of Japan and not the Japanese-Americans; then the nation of Japan contributed greatly to the united states military effort. they gave us many fighter planes and bomber jets as a surprise gift. They were so eager to give us ammo that on december 7 1941, they unloaded most of there ammuniton on a small military base in Hawaii. They must hAve forgotten that you can't re use ammunition like that. Many soldiers were so grateful for the gifts of ammo that they received multiple wounds and or death. The united states was so grateful for the gift that we positively needed to repay them. We gave them two giant explosives. But, unfortunately for the japanese military, the citizens of those two cities had all the fun without them

Answer 3

The shameful truth of the matter is that very few efforts were allowed to be made at all. On the mainland, Japanese Americans were relocated to internment camps and evacuated from the Pacific coast. It can really only be said of most of these citizens' contribution to the war effort that they didn't disrupt wartime civil defense, military operations, industrial production, or home front support activities through subversive behavior. They continued to be loyal and proud American citizens despite the travesty they endured.

The exception to this general rule, however, should fill every American citizen with pride and a desire to follow their example should it ever become necessary. In Hawaii, ethnic Japanese people were much more integrated into the population. They had already volunteered in significant numbers for peacetime military service in the National Guard; many were on guard duty or construction duty on December 7, 1941.

After Congress declared war, the army began coalescing men of these various units into a single battalion, unusually independent of any higher headquarters. The new 100th Infantry Battalion was rotated through 14 months of training at various locations throughout the country while the services decided what to do with them. But everywhere they went, the 100th IB excelled at their training and earned glowing praise from camp commanders - so much so that the army opened the internment camps for recruitment.

In 1943, while the recruits of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team (a much larger organization than a battalion) trained, the 100th headed to the front lines in North Africa and Italy. There they served with extraordinary valor and distinction. A year later, the 442nd RCT joined them in Italy and proved themselves to be some of our very finest troops. By the end of the war, the 442nd had become the most highly decorated unit in American history.

To expand on the previous answer, many people are familiar with the movie Windtalkers. The information that will lead you to World War 2 details is to search for Code Talkers. If you use the correct search information you find the code that was utilized during World War 1 and 2, Korea and Vietnam. The Code Talkers were Navajo, but many were from other nations including Choctaw, Cherokee and Comanche as well as from nations such as Montana's Assiniboine.
