Nihon Kaigun - Imperial Japanese Navy

We over here know them under some "nicknames", I do not like to mention at all, these times are far away...

We know little over here in Europe about the former action by the Japanese at all, I like to "start" with one link:

http://www.combinedfleet.com/kaigun.htm

This is a very complex link, far beyond the Japanese Navy, etc, it is one of the best links, I could found, I will share several others later.

Contribute, please...?

Kamikaze, what a waste of young lives.

nice site Nordwest, has a nice picture there, good to see the vets in the other side of the war reconcilate as well.

anyway, some people might say that this topic aobut the Japanese navy is off topic, but after all, Japan was an Axis ally, so relevant to forum.

For Kamikazes, here is a good site.

Here is a very good site about japanese weaponry, special topic is japanese TANKS, with many and many more rare photos, taken by japanese and american troops before 1945.

A very informative website, about the "japanese axis..."

No laughing GIs in this photos, sorry, just american and japanese losers,

I think, this belonges to the "Axis", it is not a very nice site at all, click on Contents, for the facts.
