WWII Imperial Japanese Newspaper June 1943 Yamamoto Funeral War Propaganda

  

This is an original 1942 publication titled "Special Attack Force - The Face of Military Gods" (? Printed in April 1942, this rare wartime book was published shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor and documents the stories and photographs of the legendary "Kamikaze" Special Attack Forces (Shinpu Tokubetsu Kogekitai), including the heroes of the famous Pearl Harbor submarine attack. The book features portraits of the "Kyu-Kan-Shin" (Nine Divine Warriors) submarine crew, dramatic illustrations of the Pearl Harbor attack, and rare wartime photographs. It served as powerful wartime propaganda, aiming to boost morale and honor those who undertook suicidal missions for the Empire of Japan. Such first-edition wartime publications are increasingly rare, especially those connected to the earliest days of Japan's Special Attack Forces, making this an invaluable piece for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in WWII naval history, Japanese military culture, or the origin of the Kamikaze mythos.
