The Attritian Is Taking a Toll on a Lot of Things

The great admiral yama modo, who is head and shoulders above most of the other, all of the other japanese military officials, will be shot down by american pilots on april eighteenth, 19 forty three. He's found later with two 50 calibre bullet wounds, apparently sitting in his chair after the plane that he is in is shot down and crashes in the jungle. And so to be deprived of his leadership at this point in the wa r is almost symbolic of where things are going for the japanese war effort.
