Reviews for Defense of Japan 1945
3 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5About as much info on coast artillery, radar, submarines
and suicide boats than can be absorbed.
Pop Up pillboxes in water was new to me.
Very detailed as to number of guns produced and
orders of battle for troops.
About the only things not thought of by the
defenders would be large fish and sea turtles
carrying contact-fused explosives.
Shortcoming : Maps cannot be magnified to
see troop dispositions. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Solid entry in the fortress series by one of Osprey's leading World War II experts. This is a survey of the various defences that Japan constructed late in World War II to defend the Home Islands. Zaloga goes into a great deal of detail as to why these defences, while they might have increased the cost to the invading Allies, ultimately would not have worked.
