The Secret Weapon That Starved Japan Into Surrender — And The General Nobody Remembers

On April 27, 1945, seven Japanese ships left Shimonoseki harbor. None arrived.

By the time it ended, 670 ships had been destroyed. Japan's imports had fallen 90%. An entire nation was running out of food. And almost nobody remembers it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📖 KEY FACTS IN THIS VIDEO ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • 1,529 B-29 sorties flown over 141 days • 12,053 mines laid across 18 sea lanes • 670 ships sunk or damaged — 1.25 million tons • Shimonoseki Strait traffic reduced 90% by July 1945 • B-29 loss rate: 1.3% (vs 6.2% for city bombing) • Rated most efficient attack per bomb dropped — USSBS 1946 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 If this story surprised you, subscribe.
