Prepping for Pearl Harbor: American Defenses - Episode 516
This week Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall take a look at the American preparations, or lack thereof, for an attack on Pearl Harbor. The guys take a dig into Admiral Husband Kimmel and General Walter Short by looking at their personalities, history, leadership and, above all, steps for an eventual war with Japan and how to deal with it. Diving into the US intelligence we see just exactly what was known, what wasn't, and how we, specifically Kimmel and Short as well as the US Government, dealt with it. Jon dishes on the Japanese spy Yoshikawa and what effect his spying actually had on the air raid, and Seth goes through the two "War Warnings" sent to the Navy and Army in the last days of peace before the attack. This episode is absolutely fascinating and continues our multi-episode dive into what led to Pearl Harbor and eventually the history of the attack.
