Did Japanese officers refuse to engage in kamikaze attacks?
Upvote:8
According to Wikipedia, some officers, such as Yoshio Shiga, Tadashi Minobe, and Minoru Genda all refused to carry out such policies.
Other officers criticized the method and concept but still carried out the policy, notably Iyozo Fujita.
As a bonus: the majority of Japanese pilots and officers who engaged in the attacks later regretted it, one official saying, βI think of the many men I killed with my pencil, and I apologize for having killed them in vain", and with another writing that young people should "not follow my example. That's what I want to leave with young people today.
