Belesarius Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Interservice rivalry in the Japanese armed forces were... weird. In a way that probably cost the Japs a bunch of battles. They wouldn't even talk to each other or share intelligence information. It was truly bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tied Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 might as well post this picture of future manga author Shigeru Mizuki, posing with his dad before being shipped off to the frontlines. Mizuki was sent to the island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea, where he watched his comrades die, contracted Malaria, lost his left arm in an Allied air attack and was finally captured as a POW. However he survived his ordeal, returned home and eventually became one of the best known "mangaka" (if im spelling that wrong- im not sorry) in postwar Japan. He has recounted his wartime experiences in his manga Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths and Showa: A History of Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tied Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 150mm Type 5 AA Gun, heaviest AA gun produced by Japan during the war. Only two were made before Japan surrendered, but they managed to shoot down two B-29s with them (allegedly), and according to American evaluations, they were more than five times more effective than the earlier 120mm Type 3 AA guns. Too little too late, like with most modern Japanese equipment. LoooSeR, Jeeps_Guns_Tanks and Belesarius 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffentrager Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Interservice rivalry in the Japanese armed forces were... weird. In a way that probably cost the Japs a bunch of battles. They wouldn't even talk to each other or share intelligence information. It was truly bizarre. Imperial Japan was like that. The branches were all in a constant struggle against one another for the most political control of the government. Many coups and uprisings were present during its lifetime, rivalries were just as hostile as the Allies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
