We discussed Pearl Harbor

  • Main Goal of Attack = to take out our aircraft's; but our crafts weren't there at the time
  • Japanese had another attack planned but since our aircraft's weren't there they retreated
  • 28 airplanes and 8 subs sunk of the Japanese people
  • First wave of Japanese came in at 7:50 a.m.
  • 2500 people died; over 1000 with casualties
  • 18 American ships sunk and 300 airplanes
  • Japanese Admirable of Attack = Nigumo; he was against it but he had to carry out his orders
  • December 7, 1941
  • We didn't accept their peace deal so we knew something would probably happen in the near future
  • To succeed Japan needed this to be a complete surprise so they could have no radio communication over the ocean
