There's actually a WWII anthology anime called The Cockpit which has an episode centered around a young Ohka pilot and the bomber crew he's assigned to, it's one of the more touching episodes of the series.
The Germans did in fact have their own suicide rock propelled bomb. Called the Leonidas Squadron (like the Spartans) it was conceived by Otto Skorzeny and Hajo Herrman. They took a V-1 rocket and added a cockpit (FI 103 R). There were 70 volunteers for this squadron. It was called a total mission, in other words no coming back. Hanna Reitsch, the famous woman pilot persuaded Hitler to give the go ahead. The pilots only saw action at the very end of WWII when they knocked out 17 bridges to delay the advance of the Red army. 35 pilots were killed.
Those were brave soldiers. I can imagine the sadness when the plane would drop the human bomb. Imagine the pilot looking back and thinking “Thats it. No going back to see my family”. May both sides RIP.
1:28 Sayonara and the explanation the planes name makes me realize how Japanese soldiers were so committed to their country, such as how they refused to wear parachutes, and that one soldier who stayed in the Philippines for years after the war ended. That dedication is something that is impressive. Also, isn’t saying Sayonara kind’ve like saying good bye but you won’t see them again? I recall that from a Japanese friend, I could be wrong but not wrong to ask.
Yeah.......they were very committed alright. Just a shame about all the horrific slaughter of civilians (Chinese civilians in particular) and unarmed helpless prisoners of war. The Japanese military responsible for those countless atrocities utterly disgraced their cause. And no amount of sentimental, poetic stuff about cherry blossoms can hide that. They can rot in hell for all I care.
I've known about the Ohka since I was a little kid building and flying balsa model planes. I thought it was a beautiful design. If intended for something other in some parallel universe, it might've been a fine little aero sports car. I thought of building it as a slingshot glider or a Jetex powered free-flight plane. But in all honesty I just could never do it.
The animation, combined with the music, was very moving. You could feel the overall melancholy despair of the mission. You know, despite their fanaticism and destructive wake, the Kamikaze, I always felt sorry for them. Bunch of young pilots who threw their lives away for nothing, and they did it willingly out of devotion to their emperor. I remember one level in a game I played where I, somehow had to protect a carrier from these Ohka planes, it was tough, but I beat it. But then I thought, "Jesus, all this for a war they're still gonna lose, what about their families? What were they thinking?" I also admit to nearly tearing up at the cherry blossom leaf at the end. Clever symbolism my friend... This video earns my 10/10
it was all based a fatal misunderstandinfgofthe Americans-who had also sacrificed thousands sons fightingtheirway across the pacific. Nothingthre kamikaziscould do was goingto convince them to sail back to San Franciscans leave Japan with its conquests!japan chose warts the death-andthat'sexactly what they got!Replacement she, aircraft and pilots were being produced faster than Japancould damage them-andthe A-bombwasalready closeto operational.
The Ohka (Baka=Fool in the allies code) was really fast, more than 900 Km/h, but the firing rate of the allied fleet was insane, only a few % of them were effective in hitting the ships.
Der Nachteil der Ohka-Bombe war das sie von einem langsamen 2 Motorigen Bomber geschleppt werden musste, und die Alliierten nicht nur über die absolute Luftüberlegenheit, sondern auch über ein weitreichendes gutes Radar verfügten, und somit die Trägerflugzeuge samt Ohka-Bombe lange vor ereichen des Abwurfpunkts abschießen konnten.
I had the pleasure of seeing one in Virginia at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. I don't know if it's a replica but either way, the image of such a beautiful craft with a bomb plunger and sight at the tip is unforgettable. Such a fitting name
From Japane to you. 日本人より🇯🇵🕊 The idea that no one wants to die is the same for the Japanese people at that time. They decided they would attack because they thought they could protect their family and as many people as possible. They were more afraid of family deaths than themselves. They didn't like the deaths of more people than themselves. They just wanted to prevent their allies from dying. We cannot forgive the government at the time that created such a tragic situation. And this has to be passed on to the next generation in order not to repeat the same tragedy. My point is that we have to avoid war. (I'm sorry for my broken English.)
It's raining in Tokyo. Japan has a lot of water because it has a lot of rainfall and snowfall. Japanese food respects various fresh ingredients and their characteristics, and expresses the beauty of nature and the changing seasons. In Japan, DASHI, Japanese soup stockis, always used when making soup. The soup stock is extremely delicious because it makes the most of the umami components, such as glutamic acid, inosine acid, and guanylic acid, contained in the food. Japanese food is healthy due to its excellent nutritional balance, and the obesity rate of Japanese is about one-tenth that of the United States. I heard that a policeman killed a non-resisting human in the United States. Murder cases rarely occur in Japan. Japan has one-twentieth the murder rate per capita as compared to the United States.
Ugaki has said .This monstrous method saw as all the mistakes which we did after Perl Harbor . The first mission of ohka was a completed failure The Hellkats destroyed 15 Betty's bombers and Ugaki when he heard that started to cry . I want to say something Japan never said sorry about the wars crimes which committed Never. Like the Turks with the Armenians . Salute from Greece
Official number of kamikaze flights was almost 5500. Some of them never even saw enemy, breaking down on the way to the mission. Most attackers were shoot down by aa guns or fighters. Only 8 to 9 % realy hit targets.
Very true. But 8 to 9% hit was quite high at that time for us Japanese against American fleet which were equiped with their sophisficated fire control systems with VT fuse technology and the radar based picket line tactics with lots of their advanced F6F air cover. Conventional torpedo attack and dive bombing by IJN Air Corps made only 0 to 1% hit in 1945...that is the number which was 85% only 3 years before, in 1942 in Indian Osean against the Royal Navy. How fast Americans developed their technology in 3 years is why we didn't have choice other than Kamikaze in 1945 and that's why we still respect the Americans.
HaloPro096 I would hardly call throwing 18 year-olds at American ships worthy. How much of this war do you actually know if cause America V Japan was nothing like America V Germany. It was a whole nother monster
Compare the strategy to that of ICBM warfare. You make clustered warheads comprised mostly of decoys -- perhaps 20x the number of real warheads. That means that any anti-ICBM technology must destroy EVERY incoming warhead as any percentage of real warheads which make it through will still destroy the target. Destroying all incoming projectiles is numerically impossible. Mutual Assured Destruction.
The allied reporting name for this aircraft was “Baka”, over 800 were built but only seven vessels, all escorts or supply ships, were sunk or damaged by “Baka bombs.” No major combatants of any kind were successfully attacked by Ohkas. They were usually destroyed before launching from their slow moving “Betty” bomber carrier plane. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokosuka_MXY-7_Ohka
Yes japan occupied my country in ww2 and gave us foul treatment but I still respect these ohka pilots. It is never easy to be a Kamikaze personal, you will never know the feeling of it until you are about to do it. The different between a soldier and a Kamikaze is that as a soldier you still know you have a chance to return home while Kamikaze you know for sure you are never returning home. Never again seeing your love ones, how will you feel?
+khant tun They literally threw their lives, to protect their land and people. You might not believe, but back then "their people" included your grand parents, as exactly same as people in Japan.
In my opinion once you get the decision of being a kamikaze is quite easier to deal with war because there is no chance at all, all the tickets are sold ..
Kamikaze instructor: You will get in your plane! Students: Yeah! Kamikaze instructor: you will fly in the plane! Students: Yeah! Kamikaze instructor: And you will crash into the big enemy boats! Students: No!
@Jon yeah well it’s different cultures. They were taught that it’s about the group more than the individual and that serving your country is one of your biggest purposes in life. They would rather die than surrender and even today Japan has a very high suicide rate because the only way to get them to surrender was to make them give up their warrior culture. Hell after WWII Japan abolished its army even though America didn’t want it to. Nowadays their military is more for national defense and not for interests abroad.
Yoooo thank you SO much for showing the back of the cherry blossom cause I was trying to make the plane in simple planes lol and idk what the engines looked like
For every young soldier in all of our history. Robbed of their childhood, unable to live in peace and be happy. The lucky die for something but most die for nothing.
My dad was in on the Saipan invasion. He called these Baka Bombs and said they had a huge warhead but weren't very good. A lot of them were shot down by Navy fighters before being released.
I am sure your Dad means well but they were historically remarkably effective weapon. The term "Baka" means fool but that was a term that the common Europeans had for what they thought was a foolish self-sacrifice...
@@superbmediacontentcreator out of 800 okha, only 7 hit a ship the biggest one sunk was a Fletcher class dd. Normal kamikaze where a Lot More effective
It makes me sad everytime I look at the Ohka knowing the pilot will never come back, will never grow old, won't even get a decent burial and most were just kids, around 17 year of age..."SAD"
just how much brainwashing does it take to make someone believe its a good idea to blow themselves up for the sake of another person, either real or fictional? we see the same with suicide bombers. i dont really think any sane person would do anything like this.
At the time it was the best choice a pilot had. Also you have to understand social norms. The Japanese deemed what they did in China to be normal, thus they expected the US military to commit the same atrocities to them. Thus thousands of civilians were convinced to commit suicide to avoid getting raped by the US Marine Corps.
my guess is that they were extremely patriotic and when your nation is on the verge of being invaded... you'll happily gave your life away an attempt to save it?
G'day, Why would you think that ? British & Commonwealth Aircrews had to fly 30 Missions on an Operational Tour with 5% Average Chop-Rate per Mission, so they were 150% statistically-dead after the first Tour, and after a 6-month "Rest" while instructing on clapped-out obsolete Aircraft then they had to fly a second Tour...; the 3rd Tour was Voluntary, unless they were posted to Pathfinders for their 2nd Tour, & the PFF had 60 Mission Tours, with a 10% average Chop-Rate. If a Politician tells you to take Pay to try to kill a Stranger, because "your National Honour requires it of you...", and you agree to that proposition ; then you're a Murderous Mercenary and you richly deserve EVERYTHING which subsequently "goes wrong" with the mess you made of what's left of your Life. "THOU SHALT NOT KILL....!" ; is the Commandment. Kamikazes were not "Mad", they were "Patriotic Murderers" ; just as was EVERYBODY that they killed. Because, y'see.., the Creator-God of the whole Universe is not AmeriKan, nor Japanese ; so both sides were equally blasphemous Murderers, deserving to be composted. Fair is Fair, after all. ;-p Ciao !
I'd never heard of the Ohka until now... I have to say my regret for the pilots sacrifice is tempered by the knowledge of how they collectively treated prisoners and the peoples of the lands they invaded.
Many Kamikazes broke down before flight or regretted their decision mid-flight, however the tactic was still used since it was less costlier in planes than conventional attacks and the pilots can be resupplied easily
@@muhammadthepeacemaker106 if you fly "so fast" and you are flying toward the guy that is shoting at you then every bullet that is able to hit you have much more power... its basic physics. And its not so hard to hit the guy especialy that in the end he needs to hit the ship not some random place so in the last moment you can not do any manuvers with your plane.
Americans was so afraid of kamikaze pilots because they where dangerous even after their plane was shoot down. If you shoot down plane it won't magical disappear but it will continue to fall, Japanese pilots knew that so they where approaching USA ships by flying straight down on them. I seen bunch of historical videos showing shoot down kamikaze planes that turned into ball of fire and hit the ship anyway.
In early 1945, Saratoga participated in the Battle of Iwo Jima as a dedicated night fighter carrier. Several days into the battle, she was badly damaged by kamikaze hits and was forced to return to the United States for repairs. While under repair, the ship, now increasingly obsolete, was permanently modified as a training carrier with some of her hangar deck converted into classrooms. Saratoga remained in this role for the rest of the war and was then used to ferry troops back to the United States after the Japanese surrender in August. In mid-1946, the ship was a target for nuclear weapon tests during Operation Crossroads. She survived the first test with little damage, but was sunk by the second test.
Ohka(Cherry blossom) was a very sad airplane. It could take off the land and landing. But it didn't take off nor land itself. When Mitsubishi G4M took off with Ohka, that was the end of Ohka. Ohka would never landed.
My great grandfather fought in the pacific. He told stories of him shooting down Japanese kamikaze planes. As an American point of view, I can really say that the Japanese have some courage. They are willing to sacrifice themselves for their country, respects.
@@Askhat08 Yes, obviously good point. The Japanese used to believe that surrender is the ultimate dishonor, & that dying in battle was the highest. Now, my philosophy is that if you survive, you won something. Try not to die though.
Well,, living on the Asian seaboard myself,, If Japan wasn't stopped we'd all be speaking Japanese now. We saw how they treated the Chinese in the 30's and POWs during the war. They were war-like and cruel, considering anyone who was not Japanese as animals, and they were the aggressors who started the war (along with the Nazis). Yes they were brave pilots, but no braver than anyone else. These pilots were the victims of a cruel Imperial order who sacrificed their lives in planes that mostly didnt even work, robbing these proud men of even having success in death.
@@drongojonkins8945 Dont be absurd...Japan had no intention of invading the huge USA ! Texas has the same land area as all of Japan ! The Japanese had just hoped to rule their neck of the woods after tossing out the White Men who were stealing natural resources from all over Asia..

Information; They did build a 2 place practice plane, with instructor. The plane landed at high speed on a skid. Then you got to fly the real thing. Actually, totally necessary.
The Ohka was specifically designed as part of "Operation Ketsugo", the Japanese home-island defense plan. We needed to capture the southern island of Kyushu first, as a staging area, and unlike D-day, the Japanese knew exactly where we would need to land. According to US Dept of Defense, by Nov-Dec of '45, the time of the planned invasion, here's what we would have been facing: OVER-THE-HORIZON, FOR FLEET ATTACK: > Kamikaze pilots & planes, many of them Ohkas: ...................... 10k - 12k > Kamikaze "Kaiten", manned torpedoes ..................................... 120 > 2-man, midget suicide subs, packed with explosives .............. 400 > Operational fleet submarines: ..................................................... 46 CLOSE-IN, TO ATTACK LANDING CRAFT: > Hi-Speed Shinyo suicide boats: ........................................... 2,400 > Frogmen with explosives: .................................................... 4,000 ON THE LAND: > Japanese Imperial Army: ........................................................ 4.3 million > Civilian population actively resisting: ................................. 25-30 million. It would have been a bloodbath! The A-bombs saved lives on all sides.
wheneve i hear Americans saying "mass killings saved lives" i have to step back in awe of the sheer mental gymnastics and denial it would take for someone to wholeheartedly make this statement.
@@ElRifrawad He aint wrong. Killing a few hundred thousand is much, much of a better cost than killing 40+ million in infinitely worse ways. Both are shit options but the atom bombs were the less shit option.
I spent two years in Japan courtesy of the U.S. Navy and knew their history from WWII long before. My dad was Army, 32nd Div. 126th Regiment, M company (heavy weapons) He was wounded on Leyte, Philippines on Thanksgiving Day, 1944, a million dollar wound that got him home, out of the war, and not permanently disabled. The point is.. The Japanese people are the most polite humans that I've ever had the pleasure to live among. It was hard to reconcile everything I've read about the Japanese during WWII, with what I witnessed in their country. Coming up next on the hit parade? CHINA. They're gearing up.
You're right. From what I've read, suicide attacks by traditional airplanes were more successful, if only because they were much more numerous, than okhas. Moreover, there is no record of an ohka ever getting near an aircraft carrier. All US naval ships sunk or forced to withdraw due to ohka attacks were small ships such as destroyers.
My dad said when they were going over to Hiroshima one of these tried to attack his ship. They never fired a shot, it took off from under the Zero and crashed right into the ocean. They were trying to keep up with the Nazi's but did not have the engineers to make a rockets like the Nazi's.
36Km is a very big range for a WW2 naval weapon, bigger than the range of most ships guns, the Ohka was not a engineered failure, sure its range could be bigger, but it was big enough not to run out randomly out of fuel and fall on the sea, and its speed made it virtually unstoppable, and what your dad saw was a random bomb the plane dropped so it could manouver faster probably, Ohkas had 1 Ton of explosives on board, no way a Zero could carry them
My bad, your right it was a Betty! It was so far away he probably could not tell. He said it was flipping all over the place before it hit the water. My mom who lived in Hollywood in 1942 told me she saw a Japanese Zero fly over her house on 4047 Sunset Blvd. She saw lights in the sky, anti air craft guns shooting and loud sirens. Always an urban myth that a zero shot the Hollywood sign and then sped off over the Pacific. My dad gave me a M1 rifle and sword to took off a burned up Japanese calvary man. It has Japanese writing that saids I die for my emperor! My parents were so full of stories about the war and I miss them everyday.
My dad served in the Pacific in WWII on the USS Vicksburg. In a horrible battle they were bombed by bombers and almost kit by a Kamikaze that was trying to hit a bigger ship. During a island battle they saw Japanese red cross boats going in heavy and coming out light? So they attempted to stop one and shot a shell overs its bow. Then 15 fully geared Japanese soldiers jumped out trying to swim away. They were sneaking troops and guns/ammo into battle. I have his captured Japanese rifle that still has all Emperors markings which later were to have been removed that was on that boat in my office and it's priceless to me.
One guy I knew when I lived in san Francisco told me his grandfather eventually told the family his job in the Japanese air service was training young men to fly kamikaze missions. I thought that was a really rough thing to live with from his grandad's position.
Ifthey'dbeen abletotrain pilots fast enough gr through the American CAP,they wouldn't have needed suiciders!And God knows they tried.

@@may2888 Forcefully indoctrinated youths who had no idea what they were doing, shoved into a plane with threats that if they didn’t kill themselves they would be shunned and their family dishonoured? It’s absolutely ok to feel sympathy for them. You don’t know what it’s like to be in their position.
My father fought in the pacific until late 44, had been in since the start. He had done 4 years on USS California pre war, and was in Boston on Dec 7th 1941, after had Re Upping for 4 more years. He got in a Taxi and the Cabbie told him of the attack, the cabbie said I will take you to the Navy base...and off Dad went to war......He was on O/Bannon..DD 450 and the Spence...both Fletcher class Destroyers. He came home in late 44, as this kamikaze thing started to happen. He saw them do it, but always seemed like a lone act..and not a concentrated attack. He served 20 active an 10 reserve.
Calm yourself. Japan was defeated and occupied by Americans. It became a prosperous, successful, respected, peaceful nation. So the sacrifice was pointless and unnecessary. Nothing beautiful about it.

The Ohka (Baka=Fool in the allies code) was really fast, more than 900 Km/h, but the firing rate of the allied fleet was insane, only a few % of them were effective in hitting the ships.
That had nothing to do with the AA fire, and more to do with the bombers carrying them being shot down by Allied fighters.
Der Nachteil der Ohka-Bombe war das sie von einem langsamen 2 Motorigen Bomber geschleppt werden musste, und die Alliierten nicht nur über die absolute Luftüberlegenheit, sondern auch über ein weitreichendes gutes Radar verfügten, und somit die Trägerflugzeuge samt Ohka-Bombe lange vor ereichen des Abwurfpunkts abschießen konnten.

Fubbo what did you use to make this video
From Japane to you. 日本人より🇯🇵🕊
The idea that no one wants to die is the same for the Japanese people at that time. They decided they would attack because they thought they could protect their family and as many people as possible. They were more afraid of family deaths than themselves. They didn't like the deaths of more people than themselves. They just wanted to prevent their allies from dying. We cannot forgive the government at the time that created such a tragic situation. And this has to be passed on to the next generation in order not to repeat the same tragedy.
My point is that we have to avoid war.
(I'm sorry for my broken English.)
I love how you can speak English how is the weather up in Japan? Do they make weird food? Do they have the highest suicide rates?😭😭😥😥😥
It's raining in Tokyo. Japan has a lot of water because it has a lot of rainfall and snowfall.
Japanese food respects various fresh ingredients and their characteristics, and expresses the beauty of nature and the changing seasons. In Japan, DASHI, Japanese soup stockis, always used when making soup. The soup stock is extremely delicious because it makes the most of the umami components, such as glutamic acid, inosine acid, and guanylic acid, contained in the food. Japanese food is healthy due to its excellent nutritional balance, and the obesity rate of Japanese is about one-tenth that of the United States.
I heard that a policeman killed a non-resisting human in the United States. Murder cases rarely occur in Japan. Japan has one-twentieth the murder rate per capita as compared to the United States.

Official number of kamikaze flights was almost 5500. Some of them never even saw enemy, breaking down on the way to the mission. Most attackers were shoot down by aa guns or fighters. Only 8 to 9 % realy hit targets.
Very true. But 8 to 9% hit was quite high at that time for us Japanese against American fleet which were equiped with their sophisficated fire control systems with VT fuse technology and the radar based picket line tactics with lots of their advanced F6F air cover. Conventional torpedo attack and dive bombing by IJN Air Corps made only 0 to 1% hit in 1945...that is the number which was 85% only 3 years before, in 1942 in Indian Osean against the Royal Navy. How fast Americans developed their technology in 3 years is why we didn't have choice other than Kamikaze in 1945 and that's why we still respect the Americans.

*top 10 anime comebacks*
HaloPro096 I would hardly call throwing 18 year-olds at American ships worthy. How much of this war do you actually know if cause America V Japan was nothing like America V Germany. It was a whole nother monster
Compare the strategy to that of ICBM warfare. You make clustered warheads comprised mostly of decoys -- perhaps 20x the number of real warheads.
That means that any anti-ICBM technology must destroy EVERY incoming warhead as any percentage of real warheads which make it through will still destroy the target. Destroying all incoming projectiles is numerically impossible.
Mutual Assured Destruction.
8-10 percent was actually more than conventional attacks by Japan
The allied reporting name for this aircraft was “Baka”, over 800 were built but only seven vessels, all escorts or supply ships, were sunk or damaged by “Baka bombs.” No major combatants of any kind were successfully attacked by Ohkas. They were usually destroyed before launching from their slow moving “Betty” bomber carrier plane.

Yes japan occupied my country in ww2 and gave us foul treatment but I still respect these ohka pilots. It is never easy to be a Kamikaze personal, you will never know the feeling of it until you are about to do it. The different between a soldier and a Kamikaze is that as a soldier you still know you have a chance to return home while Kamikaze you know for sure you are never returning home. Never again seeing your love ones, how will you feel?

I love this piece of art. The sea remembers its own
The simple idea of a plane designed specificly for this is specially sad,
Even the Germans made this but at least they knew not to pointlessly sacrifice manpower in a human missile
@Jon yeah well it’s different cultures. They were taught that it’s about the group more than the individual and that serving your country is one of your biggest purposes in life. They would rather die than surrender and even today Japan has a very high suicide rate because the only way to get them to surrender was to make them give up their warrior culture. Hell after WWII Japan abolished its army even though America didn’t want it to. Nowadays their military is more for national defense and not for interests abroad.
The most sad part was the results it got...horrifyingly enough the average Kamikaze attack costed less lives to pull off than a conventional one...

i think its insane that they actually did this
perfectly normal
just how much brainwashing does it take to make someone believe its a good idea to blow themselves up for the sake of another person, either real or fictional? we see the same with suicide bombers. i dont really think any sane person would do anything like this.
At the time it was the best choice a pilot had. Also you have to understand social norms. The Japanese deemed what they did in China to be normal, thus they expected the US military to commit the same atrocities to them. Thus thousands of civilians were convinced to commit suicide to avoid getting raped by the US Marine Corps.
my guess is that they were extremely patriotic and when your nation is on the verge of being invaded... you'll happily gave your life away an attempt to save it?
G'day,
Why would you think that ?
British & Commonwealth Aircrews had to fly 30 Missions on an Operational Tour with 5% Average Chop-Rate per Mission, so they were 150% statistically-dead after the first Tour, and after a 6-month "Rest" while instructing on clapped-out obsolete Aircraft then they had to fly a second Tour...; the 3rd Tour was Voluntary, unless they were posted to Pathfinders for their 2nd Tour, & the PFF had 60 Mission Tours, with a 10% average Chop-Rate.

"THOU SHALT NOT KILL....!" ; is the Commandment.
Kamikazes were not "Mad", they were "Patriotic Murderers" ; just as was EVERYBODY that they killed.
Because, y'see.., the Creator-God of the whole Universe is not AmeriKan, nor Japanese ; so both sides were equally blasphemous Murderers, deserving to be composted.

Not this one do..it was so fast that thr guns can't even hit it.

They Biggest Ship Sink By Kamikazes Were Casablanca Escort Carriers, USS Bismarck Sea In Battle Of Iwo Jima
Americans was so afraid of kamikaze pilots because they where dangerous even after their plane was shoot down. If you shoot down plane it won't magical disappear but it will continue to fall, Japanese pilots knew that so they where approaching USA ships by flying straight down on them. I seen bunch of historical videos showing shoot down kamikaze planes that turned into ball of fire and hit the ship anyway.
@@muhammadthepeacemaker106 Yet thier tiny dicks could not stop America from kicking their back to their main island.
Great video!! I saw your video because I've just recommended your video by RUclips.
In early 1945, Saratoga participated in the Battle of Iwo Jima as a dedicated night fighter carrier. Several days into the battle, she was badly damaged by kamikaze hits and was forced to return to the United States for repairs. While under repair, the ship, now increasingly obsolete, was permanently modified as a training carrier with some of her hangar deck converted into classrooms. Saratoga remained in this role for the rest of the war and was then used to ferry troops back to the United States after the Japanese surrender in August. In mid-1946, the ship was a target for nuclear weapon tests during Operation Crossroads. She survived the first test with little damage, but was sunk by the second test.
Ohka(Cherry blossom) was a very sad airplane.
It could take off the land and landing.
But it didn't take off nor land itself.
When Mitsubishi G4M took off with Ohka,
that was the end of Ohka. Ohka would never landed.
My great grandfather fought in the pacific. He told stories of him shooting down Japanese kamikaze planes. As an American point of view, I can really say that the Japanese have some courage. They are willing to sacrifice themselves for their country, respects.
They should've just surrender instead of pointlessly wasting lifes.
@@Askhat08 Yes, obviously good point. The Japanese used to believe that surrender is the ultimate dishonor, & that dying in battle was the highest. Now, my philosophy is that if you survive, you won something. Try not to die though.

For Japan
Well,, living on the Asian seaboard myself,, If Japan wasn't stopped we'd all be speaking Japanese now. We saw how they treated the Chinese in the 30's and POWs during the war. They were war-like and cruel, considering anyone who was not Japanese as animals, and they were the aggressors who started the war (along with the Nazis). Yes they were brave pilots, but no braver than anyone else. These pilots were the victims of a cruel Imperial order who sacrificed their lives in planes that mostly didnt even work, robbing these proud men of even having success in death.

Information;
They did build a 2 place practice plane, with instructor.
The plane landed at high speed on a skid.
Then you got to fly the real thing.
Actually, totally necessary.
The Ohka was specifically designed as part of "Operation Ketsugo", the Japanese home-island defense plan. We needed to capture the southern island of Kyushu first, as a staging area, and unlike D-day, the Japanese knew exactly where we would need to land. According to US Dept of Defense, by Nov-Dec of '45, the time of the planned invasion, here's what we would have been facing:
OVER-THE-HORIZON, FOR FLEET ATTACK:
> Kamikaze pilots & planes, many of them Ohkas: ...................... 10k - 12k
> Kamikaze "Kaiten", manned torpedoes ..................................... 120
> 2-man, midget suicide subs, packed with explosives .............. 400
> Operational fleet submarines: ..................................................... 46
CLOSE-IN, TO ATTACK LANDING CRAFT:
> Hi-Speed Shinyo suicide boats: ........................................... 2,400
> Frogmen with explosives: .................................................... 4,000
ON THE LAND:
> Japanese Imperial Army: ........................................................ 4.3 million
> Civilian population actively resisting: ................................. 25-30 million.

You're right. From what I've read, suicide attacks by traditional airplanes were more successful, if only because they were much more numerous, than okhas. Moreover, there is no record of an ohka ever getting near an aircraft carrier. All US naval ships sunk or forced to withdraw due to ohka attacks were small ships such as destroyers.

My dad said when they were going over to Hiroshima one of these tried to attack his ship. They never fired a shot, it took off from under the Zero and crashed right into the ocean. They were trying to keep up with the Nazi's but did not have the engineers to make a rockets like the Nazi's.
They were carried under g4m betty bombers and the reason many on the fell in the sea was because they had very short range
36Km is a very big range for a WW2 naval weapon, bigger than the range of most ships guns, the Ohka was not a engineered failure, sure its range could be bigger, but it was big enough not to run out randomly out of fuel and fall on the sea, and its speed made it virtually unstoppable, and what your dad saw was a random bomb the plane dropped so it could manouver faster probably, Ohkas had 1 Ton of explosives on board, no way a Zero could carry them
Robert Smith a zero can't carry these.
My bad, your right it was a Betty! It was so far away he probably could not tell. He said it was flipping all over the place before it hit the water. My mom who lived in Hollywood in 1942 told me she saw a Japanese Zero fly over her house on 4047 Sunset Blvd. She saw lights in the sky, anti air craft guns shooting and loud sirens. Always an urban myth that a zero shot the Hollywood sign and then sped off over the Pacific. My dad gave me a M1 rifle and sword to took off a burned up Japanese calvary man. It has Japanese writing that saids I die for my emperor! My parents were so full of stories about the war and I miss them everyday.

My dad served in the Pacific in WWII on the USS Vicksburg. In a horrible battle they were bombed by bombers and almost kit by a Kamikaze that was trying to hit a bigger ship. During a island battle they saw Japanese red cross boats going in heavy and coming out light? So they attempted to stop one and shot a shell overs its bow. Then 15 fully geared Japanese soldiers jumped out trying to swim away. They were sneaking troops and guns/ammo into battle. I have his captured Japanese rifle that still has all Emperors markings which later were to have been removed that was on that boat in my office and it's priceless to me.
One guy I knew when I lived in san Francisco told me his grandfather eventually told the family his job in the Japanese air service was training young men to fly kamikaze missions. I thought that was a really rough thing to live with from his grandad's position.
