The Japanese were so willing to die for that country. That they were even willing to kill them selves to protect it.
Really it was about dieing for the Emperor, which was viewed as a God. The "divine wind" is a term referring to these men.
Believe it or not, they had a submarine version of these men also. They climbed into torpedoes and were launched from submarines underwater. These were called "Kaiten" bombers. A one person torpedo with zero chance of getting out.
While very terrifying, there is not much evidence that the roles of these people played any real impact n the war.
Loss of life from these submariners was higher for the Japanese then for any other group. Many of these men died in launch tubs waiting to be fired.
The Kamikaze often died trying to reach their target and (with some exceptions) did little real damage.
they died....
No the Japanese Kamikaze pilots were a phenomenon of late World War II.
A lot, aat least 5,000. But all pilots were potential kamikaze pilots.
they blew the pilots
U.S. war ships.
they were soldiers who helped other people survive.
Kills, K rations, and kamikaze pilots
Kamikaze pilots were Japanese fighter pilots in World War II who flew their planes (usually Mitsubishi Zero fighters) laden with explosives into enemy ships.
Kamikaze were Japanese suicide pilots who attacked Allied warships during World War 2. The kamikaze plane's first flight took place in April 9, 1937.
No, he is not. The Kamikaze troops were a group of Japanese fighter pilots during World War II, who were willing to die rather than be captured. Obviously there is no evidence the president is Japanese, nor did he fight in World War II.
Kamikaze pilots would crash into their enemies for the good of their country during World War II.
No. Their country didn't win.
Kamikaze pilots in World War 2 were Japanese fighter pilots who took drugs (usually) then flew suicide missions. They would load their planes with explosives and deliberately crash their planes into American battle ships and whatnot, viewing it as a personal sacrifice for the emperor.
