Note the report in columns 5-6: "Japan's Navy Chief Dead" |
(Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the man who planned the attack on Pearl Harbor, reported dead. The ABC cites Tokyo radio as the source for the report, which was completely false. It is unclear if a translator made an error, of if this was just pure propaganda which was designed to soften the blow of the news about the disastrous battles around Java. Yamamoto was shot down and killed on Apr. 18, 1943, exactly one year after Doolittle's Raiders bombed Japan.) |
