Thanks for posting. It just didn’t feel right to give the OP a “like”. As stated above, we knew this was coming but it is sad!
If you are ever on Oahu, I STRONGLY suggest you make the time to go. I had been to the island several times for work before I finally carved out time to go. Very educational and somber (in a good way).I vividly recall visiting the memorial visiting center and seeing oil still leaking to the surface back in '86 and what a somber place it was. At the same time, there was a Japanese tour taking place as ours and would have been interested in knowing if the re-telling of the events on that tour was any different than ours.
Fascinating. With a bit more coordination between Germany and Japan, “The Man In The High Castle” might be reality.Somewhat lost on this day is the fact that the Japanese attack changed the German attack on the Soviet Union.
On Dec 7th, 1941, the Wehrmacht was about to take Leningrad on the road to Moscow as part of Operation Barbarossa. The Japanese attack allowed Stalin to pull his Eastern troops (no longer fearing an attack from Japan on the East) to the Western front, changing the course of the war.

For what it's worth, the Soviets and Japanese had a non aggression treaty which was signed in the spring of 1941.

The number of Japanese surprised me as well when went there.I vividly recall visiting the memorial visiting center and seeing oil still leaking to the surface back in '86 and what a somber place it was.

My infant grandson will remember the date...he was circumcised today...

The Pennsylvania, Nevada, California, Tennessee were all refloated, repaired and went on to fight in the Pacific
My father-in-law was at Hickman Field on 12/7/41.
Dec. 7th was my late father's birthday, many years before Pearl harbor was attacked. When I was in elementary school in the mid to late '50's and Pearl Harbor was being discussed, I would mention that Pearl Harbor was my dad's birthday. Usually the teacher would stop talking(I think they were doing the math) and give me a funny look. I just never said his birthday was the same year as Pearl Harbor...My infant grandson will remember the date...he was circumcised today...
