RIP Yamamoto lad.
He attributed it to magic, not the American scout planes reported by his pickets
Fun fact, one of the code breakers which led to the death of Yamamoto was John Paul Stevens….who would end up becoming a justice of the [Supreme Court.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Paul_Stevens)
I love how the japanese were so ignorant in WW2. The loss at midway was predicted during a wargame in May 1942 even with the loss of most carriers to US-Forces. However, senior commanders, notably Admiral Matome Ugaki, overruled these results and forced the game to a “win,” setting the stage for the actual battle’s surprising, similar defeat.
