1945 Amateur 8mm - Biggest Kamikaze Attack Ever!!!

http://www.romanoarchives.tk

Unedited 8mm amateur footage.
On April 6, 1945 a 700 plane kamikaze attack sank and damaged 13 US destroyers and hitted a certain number of carriers.
During April 1945 kamikaze pilots under Admiral Soema Toyoda launched 1,400 suicide missions as part of Operation Ten-Go. It is estimated that these suicide pilots sunk 26 ships during this campaign. More than 2,000 kamikaze missions were also flown against the US fleet at Okinawa (April-July 1945). By this time the US Navy had learnt how to deal with kamikaze attacks and few ships were hit.
Kamikaze pilots continued to be active until the dropping of the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Admiral Takijiro Onishi, commander of the Special Attack Group, committed suicide when he heard that Emperor Hirohito had surrendered.

Soundtrack (Demo Only), added in 2008 by ROMANO-ARCHIVES performed by Bruce Lelti.
