In 1944 the Imperial Japanese Army startet the largest military operation in it's entire existence, Operation Ichigo. Yet, very few people know about it or even heard of it. Which is just absurd considering the size of the opeartion, yet even more so, since it changed Post-War Asia in a tremendous way. In this video we will talk about the background of Operation Ichigo ("Number One"), its objectives, course and influence.
