Japan's Misjudgment: Admiral Yamamoto's Predictions on the Pearl Harbor Attack - #shorts #short

[ew]

Yamamoto is probably one of if not the most brilliant naval strategist in history. From accurately predicting the entire war to making some brilliant gambles which truly were japans best chance at victory. Most importantly he essentially created the modern navy. Yamamoto is the man responsible for making the carrier the most important ship in the navy. He is not only a brilliant admiral but also the master, inventor and father of carrier warfare.

“For the first 6 to 12 months of a war with the United States I will run wild, winning victory after victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success.” - Yamamoto.
That man knew exactly what the US was capable of bringing to bear if given enough time.

He actually predicted it would last 6 months. And it poetically did last 6 months to the day, June 7th 1942, the end of the Battle of Midway that had cost Japan 4 fleet carriers

Why politicians should listen to their generals and admirals.

The admiral was 100℅ right. I also like that scene in the Pearl Harbor movie when he explains his plans to the high command. Asked for his opinion about the chances of success, he looks up to the kids playing with the kites nearby, before answering. He knew what was coming for them all if they attack.

Mako, the actor who portraied him is one of my favourite actors. He was fantastic in the first Conan movie. Just now I discovered he passed.
Now the warrior rest in peace.

Just one of the reasons why 'Tora! Tora! Tora!' is a much better film.

Yamamoto on Dec. 8, 1941: "T F YOU MEAN WE DIDN'T GET THE CARRIERS?!?"

[diablo]

Yamamoto was a war prophet. He saw the carriers would replace the battleships in a modern war. This man knew what wars would become of the navy and damn I wish he was still alive to ask him questions about everything. Brilliant man and a superb strategist

He's the only one in the Japanese military that I have ever respected

Also, the US Navy Pacific Fleet Carriers were NOT in Peral Harbor when Japan attacked. They were supposed to be there, but Enterprise and Hornet were late, having been caught in a storm that slowed down their escort ships. Had the carriers been in the harbor and also destroyed, the US would have had no navy force left in the pacific. They woyld have to negotiate.

That was Yamamoto's full plan.
