Late in WW2 desperation had set in for the Japanese. The Allies were halting the expansion of their empire, and it was time for a hail mary. Actually thousands of hail marys. Somebody on the Japanese side had the brilliant idea of sacrificing brave young men in old planes with the promise of honor for their families for generations to come.
Propaganda played a huge role in the Great War on both sides. Japanese propaganda in particular convinced it's people that America and her allies were coming to absolutely destroy the island of Japan. If your beloved Emperor personally selected you to fight this invasion by means of a suicide mission, would you fly a plane into the side of an American battleship? Who knows, you might actually take a few of them with you if you're lucky.
Find out what life was like for Kamikaze pilots during the tail end of the second World War. At the end of the day, was it worth it?
