The crew of the submarine wasn’t reqired to ‘know’. They were simply unfortunate witnesses to the fact that the Allies were aware of the sighting at that time and place. Both Churchill and Roosevelt desperately wanted the US in the war. Intelligence had shown that the Japanese might attack at any moment (The US had broken the Japanese cyphers.) Had the US forces on Hawaii been alerted, the Japanese fleet would almost certainly have withdrawn. US Isolationists (Prominent amongst whom was Charles Lindberg of course…) may well then have kept the US out of the war for years, with disasterous consequences for the UK, Europe, (the Jews) & the world in general.
As it was the Japanese were spooked when they didn’t find and bomb the US carriers, and cancelled their second attack. This bears out the Churchill and Roosevelts fears.
Instances like this are not things that can be played-out in public. The Japanese hadn’t, technically declared war – (…they didn’t until after the attack anyway, owing to delays in Washington.) and the US forces had lost track of the location of Japanese fleet, even though they were well aware that a conflict might be imminent. If the Allies had have aknowledged the sighting officially, and the Japanese attack was consequently called-off, the US administration would have been politically unable to enter the war. To admit they allowed it to happen would have been absolutely unthinkable.
Incidentally, I started to read this book with utter and complete skepticism, but in fact, there is much evidence contained within, and, on a subject shrouded in the utmost secrecy, it has that ring of truth about it. Even if only half of it is true, it’s a remarkable book. 🙂
The fact that the Americans removed their carriers from Pearl in good time and had a colour newsreel camera set up to record the attack is sufficient evidence to suspect the president was aware of the impending Japanese attack and allowed it to happen at the minimum cost in order to get USA into WW2.Both the president and Churchill were freemasons so order out of chaos would be their strategy……
