IMPERIAL JAPANESE ARMY PAGE

Welcome to my Home Page. This Home Page is dedicated to Imperial Japanese Army.
The descriptions and data of this page are all based on Japanese sources,
and they are translated into English directly.
So, you will find a lot of informations which have not ever been published in the West.

The purpose of this Home Page is to describe Imperial Japanese Army from a military viewpoint.
I have no intention of praising Imperial Japanese Army or neglecting its war crimes.
