Kaiten - Kamikaze Human Torpedo Paper Model - by Renova Models

Model Assembled and Photo by  Udon Factory

The Real Thing - Captured - 1945

The Kaiten (the literal translation from Japanese to English can be "Return to the sky", commonly rendered as: "The turn toward heaven", "The Heaven Shaker" or "Change the World") were manned torpedos and suicide craft, used by the Imperial Japanese Navy in the final stages of World War II. I took the liberty to transcribe below, the text of Udon, Japanese designer, who is also the photo I used to illustrate this post:

"KAITEN" that is the name of this Kamikaze weapon mean "The fate reversal" .
In a sense,it's a sorrowful name. By the way,what do you think about "Kamikaze Soldiers"? Do you think that they were "the fanatic soldiers"? Actually,most Kamikaze Soldiers were not the fanatic soldiers. Certainly,they were writing, "I'm proud to die for the emperor" in the last letter to the family in many cases. But in those days, all letters were inspected. Therefore, it was not possible to write in "I don't want to die", "Kamikaze is unwilling", etc the letter. If such a letter was found to the sensor, the person (The family too) who had written a letter was considered to be a traitor. So The Kamikaze Soldiers wrote there real intention in there final letter carefully. In most cases, they left the real intention to the sentence in which it worried about their own family. - Udon

The Kaiten I's were deployed from Japanese B-1 Class Submarine I-36

 Kaiten (a tradução literal do Japonês para o Português pode ser "Retorno Para Os Céus", comumente traduzido como "De Encontro Aos Céus", "Abalador Do Paraíso" ou "Mudar O Mundo"), eram torpedos tripulados por soldados suícidas, usados pela Marinha Imperial Japonesa nos estágios finais da Segunda Grande Guerra Mundial. Eu tomei a liberdade de transcrever abaixo, o texto de Udon, designer japonês, de quem também é a foto que eu utilizei para ilustrar este post:

"Kaiten" é o nome desta arma Kamikaze, que significa " O Destino Reverso". Em certo sentido, este é um nome doloroso. O que você acha dos soldados Kamikazes? você acha que eles eram soldados fanáticos? Na verdade, muitos soldados Kamikazes não eram fanáticos e nem estavam muito a fim de morrer pela causa. Obviamente, todos eles escreviam: - Sinto-me honrado e orgulhoso por morrer pelo Imperador! - na carta de despedida padrão para suas famílias. Mas, naqueles dias, haviam censores que liam tudo que era escrito. Covardia não era tolerada. Assim, ninguém escrevia: - Eu não quero morrer! - ou - ser Kamikaze não é uma alternativa! - Se uma carta com esse teor fosse encontrada, tanto o soldado como sua família seriam considerados traidores. Então o Kamikaze deixava suas reais intenções camufladas nas frases em que dizia se preocupar com o bem estar de sua família. - Udon
