    I'm glad that the US has made such a good memorial at Pearl.
    All those poor guys caught completely unawares. :cry:

    Hi.

    In January 1941 the US-ambassador in Tokio reported about japanese plans for an attack on Pearl Habour around Dez. 5th 1941. So Washington knew that there was a certain thread...........

    Perhaps at least no "Date of infamy" ?????????????

    In any way it was a tragedy but on the other hand it leads to the end of Nazi-Germany and Imperial Japan.

    Yours
    tom!

    Complacency and several false alarms didn't help much. Many warnings were ignored or mislaid on and before December 7th.
