Dec 7, 1941. It's losing it's place in History. Another 10 years and we kids of that generation will also be gone. I was fortunate enough to meet an ex Luftwaffe pilot in Rancho Bernardo, CA a few years back. He was with Hitler when the attack was reported. He told me that Hitler was enraged with the Japanese at that moment for he knew that the balance of power had shifted as the Americans would enter WW 2. I might have doubted his story had there not been a pic of him with Hitler and Goering. He also was one of the few to have flown the Me 263. Remember all of our Vets but today remember those kids that died at Pearl Harbor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)

So weird to see the Arizona still alive and well in this picture.
I read that the belief is that this is a photo of the first bomb dropped. Crazy to see all those white painted fuel depot tanks. I believe it’s generally accepted from battle historians that those tanks should’ve been a mission objective. |
