Ships within 1-5 business days: Was it "Voluntary" or an "Order"?
Tracing the origins of Kamikaze attacks, claims of "voluntary participation" and testimonies of "it was an order" coexist and clash. Kamikaze attacks, born from Japanese ambiguity, might have a mechanism that resonates with this country even today.
"I want you to tell the truth.""What the public says about Kamikaze attacks is all lies."
Kamikaze attacks have been conveyed as a beautiful story of young men sacrificing their lives to protect their country. What were these "Kamikaze attacks," which aimed for death rather than military results?
Through repeated interviews with former Kamikaze pilots and bereaved families, the "true face" of Kamikaze attacks has emerged, and it vividly confronts us across time. A Kamikaze pilot who was ordered to ram enemy ships, achieved military results, and returned alive multiple times. A staff officer who "punished" returning pilots feared revenge and never let go of his self-defense pistol until he was 80 years old. A young pilot who "volunteered for the country" was spared from sorties and became a Soviet prisoner of war with the end of the war. Desertion, denunciation, Siberian internment...
You will inevitably be drawn into the stories of these living witnesses of an era who survived the ravages of war!
