On the morning of December 7, 1941, the armed aircraft bombed the United States military bases on the islands of Hawaii (the largest is the Army air base in the United States military base Hickam Air Force), and most ship docked at Pearl harbor, including the "Combat Ship ".

Almost all American planes were destroyed on the ground only a few fighters managed to escape and fight. Twelve warships and other ships sunk or damaged, 188 aircraft destroyed, 155 had been damaged and the 2403 Americans lost their lives.

Battleship USS Arizona exploded and sank causing the loss of 1100 lives, nearly half of Americans who died. His body was enshrined into memorials to those killed on that day, most of them enshrined in the ship.

Released the first American shots in World War II and the first victim of the attack on Pearl Harbor actually occurred when the USS Ward attacked and sinks Japanese submarine dwarf. There are five class submarines Co-dwarf hyoteki the mentorpedo ship design for the United States when the bombing began.

None of these submarines made it back, and only four of the five that were found since then. Ten sailors from the submarine, nine died and only one survived, Kazuo Sakamaki, who was arrested, he was the first POW captured by the Americans in World War II.

Current image analysis by the Institute of United States Navy - United States Naval Institute shows that there is likely one of a dwarf submarine has successfully entered the harbor, and succeeded in firing torpedoes at the USS West Virginia. Final position of the submarine was not known.

Japanese aircraft carriers involved in the attack are: Akagi, Hiryu, Kaga, Shokaku, Soryu, Zuikaku. Everything has a number of 441 aircraft, including fighters, bombers, torpedo, dive bombers and bomber-fighter (fighter-bombers). Of all, 29 perished in battle. Aircraft attacked in two waves, and Nagumo decided to cancel the third attack to retreat.

The first attack on Pearl Harbor is at 07:53 on December 7, Left Hawai'i or at 03:23 on December 8, Japanese time (see Note troops Striker Pearl Harbor). Japanese military began to enter the border of New Colonial Hong Kong in the morning December 8, 1941 [2].

Hong Kong Time is one hour behind Japan's victory period, with the attacks on Pearl Harbor is the most extensive gig perperangan nearly simultaneous attacks, and instead of beginning -24 hours before the attack in the Asia-picture may appear if a quick look at the date.

1. British Bombing in Germany

The effects of strategic bombing were very poorly understood at the time and grossly overrated. Particularly in the first two years of the campaign, few understood just how little damage was caused and how rapidly the Germans were able to replace lost productional despite the obvious lessons to be learned from the United Kingdom's own survival of the Blitz.

Mid-way through the air war, it slowly began to be realized that the campaign was having very little effect. Despite an ever-increasing tonnage of bombs dispatched, the inaccuracy of delivery was such that any bomb falling within five miles of the target was deemed a "hit" for statistical purposes, and even by this standard, many bombs missed.

Indeed sometimes in post raid assessment the Germans could not decide which town, (not the installation in the town) had been the intended target because the scattering of bomb craters was so wide.These problems were dealt with in two ways: first the precision targeting of vital facilities (ball-bearing production in particular) was abandoned in favour of "area bombing".

In 1942, Professor Lindemann, the British government's leading scientific adviser with a seat in the Cabinet, presented a seminal paper to the Cabinet advocating the area bombardment of German cities in a strategic bombing campaign. It was accepted by the Cabinet and Air Marshal Harris was appointed to carry out the task. It became an important part of the total war waged against Germany.

Lindemann's paper put forward the theory of attacking major industrial centres in order to deliberately destroy as many homes and houses as possible. Working class homes, very often in cultural-historical imported midival city centers, with its predomiantly wooden Fachwerk-Style buildings, were to be targeted because they had a higher density and fire storms were more likely. This would displace the German workforce and reduce their ability to work.

His calculations showed that the RAF's Bomber Command would be able to destroy the majority of German houses located in cities quite quickly.

The plan was highly controversial even before it started, but the Cabinet thought that bombing was the only option available to directly attack Germany (as a major invasion of the continent was years away), and the Soviets were demanding that the Western Allies do something to relieve the pressure on the Eastern Front.

Few in Britain opposed this policy, but there were three notable opponents in Parliament, Bishop George Bell, and the Labour MPs Richard Stokes and Alfred Salter.

Harris, who ran the bombing campaign, said that for want of a rapier, a bludgeon was used. He felt that much as it would be far more desirable to deliver effective pin-point attacks, as the capacity to do simply did not exist, and since it was war, it was necessary to attack with whatever was at hand.

The first true practical demonstrations were on the 24 March 1942, when 234 aircraft bombed with incendaries the ancient Hanseatic port of Lübeck. This target was picked not because it was an important military target, but in fact because it was unimportant, lightly defended and, in Harris' words 'built more like a fire lighter than a city'. The ancient timber structures burned well, and the raid destroyed most of the town centre. A few days later, Rostock suffered the same fate.

However, the most startling, awesome examples of carpet bombing were the 'Thousand Bomber Raids'. Bomber Command was able by organization and drafting in as many aircraft as possible to assemble very large forces which could then attack a single area, overwhelming the defences.

The aircraft would be staggered so that they would arrive over the target in succession, the "bomber stream". On 30 May 1942, between 00:47 and 02:25 hours, in Operation Millennium 1,046 aircraft dropped over 2,000 tons of high explosive and incendaries on the medieval town of Cologne and burned it from end to end. The devastation was total. The fires could be seen 600 miles away at an altitude of 20,000 feet. Three thousand three hundred houses destroyed, 10,000 damaged.

Twelve thousand separate fires raged destroying 36 factories, damaging 270 more and leaving 45,000 people with nowhere to live or work. Only 384 civilians and 85 soldiers were killed, but thousands left the city. Bomber Command lost 40 aircraft.Two further Thousand-bomber raids raids were executed over Essen and Bremen, but neither so utterly shook both sides as the scale of the destruction at Cologne.

The effects of the massive raids using a combination of Blockbuster bombs and incendiaries created firestorms in some cites. The most extreme examples of which were caused by Operation Gomorrah (Hamburg, 45,000 dead), the attack on Kassel (10,000 dead),the attack on Darmstadt (12,300 dead), the attack on Heilbronn (8,500 dead), the attack on Pforzheim (21,260 dead, 31,7 % of all inhabitants), and the attack on Dresden (35,000 dead).
