Which never happened since nobody knew this.
Please none of the 'they broke the codes' bull****. The IJN didnt transmit the details of this operation, it was hand carried and the fleet maintained radio silence No,Sir almost everbody in Washington DC,but surely the names mentioned above as all them were informed about attack by Col.Bratton and Thurman personaly. On Nov.28 They officially informed Hull,Stimson and Knox about japanese fleets target.They did not respond. On eve of Pearl Harbor attack the same team intercepted and decipher the famous message to Nomura. Thurman took the message immediately to Adm.Kramer.He took the message but did not do anything. Thurman tried to contact Stark,Turner and Marshall,no avail, apparently nobody in Washington DC wants to do something to prevent Pearl Harbor. As last resort Thurman went directly to White House with a car driven by his wife and wanted to speak with FDR directly. But instead of FDR he was ablr to speak to Harry Hopkins. So,Mr.Willshaw after Nov.28 Pearl Harbor attack was not surprise attack to anybody in Washington DC,it was a very welcomed opportunity. In other words,Washington was decided to make it happen for domestic politics. Kimmel was fired, I really dont see him staying silent in such a situation. Firing is not a very heavy punishment form |
