My original assertion (unsupported) was that Yamamoto sent his itinerary using a code that he knew was suspect.
If that assertion is correct one can only wonder why he would do that.
I am not prepared or willing to debate the assertion. You all want to think a great man like Yamamoto cannot have simply gotten depressed, hey thats great.
There IS evidence that supports my assertion but I have neither the time nor inclination to track down my instructor'(s) and hunt thru my books.
All who wish to think I am all wet, hey thats ok.
I think he knew that he had tried the big gamble and he had lost. I think he knew it was all over after that. I think he got depressed. I also assert that after-action-analysis of the Midway operation, would have shown ANYONE that the plan had been compromised. Deductive logic would finger enemy intelligence as a possible source.
You can all naysay me to death and I will simply shrug. I am unwilling to simply blame Nagumo and leave it at that.
