Kamikaze

15 min • 11 maj 2024

In the last year of the Second World War, things were not going well for the Imperial Japanese military.

They had lost several major naval battles against the United States, they were losing territory, and they had no capability to rebuild the ships that they were losing.

They were desperate to find something to turn the tide of the war. What they settled on was one of the most terrifying tactics of the entire conflict for participants on both sides.

Learn more about the kamikaze pilots and why Japan adopted such a desperate tactic on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
