Title
Japanese Photo During Attack 2
Caption
Captured Japanese photo of Pearl Harbor attack - 'Alas, the spectacle of the American battleship fleet in its Dying Gasp. The attack of our assault force was extremely accurate and achieved direct hits with all bombs. The leading ship of the OKLAHOMA Class is already half sunk. The MARYLAND type and the PENNSYLVANIA type are blowing up from several direct hits. The chips crumble and their hulls are twisted and keeling over. Crude oil gushes forth fearfully. This view of the wretched enemy's capital ships which were converted into a sea hell was photographed from directly overhead by the heroes of our calm, valorous attack force.'
