I don't understand your question. I am not aware that the Germans ever bombed Pearl Harbor. The Japanese, who were allied with the Germans during WWII, bombed Pearl Harbor to open the war for the USA on December 7, 1941.That caused the USA to formally enter WWII, and created a great upsurge of popular support for entering the war for US citizens. My father was one of many young men who promptly dropped whatever they were doing and enlisted in the United States military, to defend the USA against attack and seek revenge for the Pearl Harbor attack, which eventually led to the complete defeat of what was called the "Axis" powers.

Is this a joke? The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and brought the USA into the war. It was foolish to awaken the sleeping giant. The USa has many more men and resources than the Axis powers: Germany, Italy and Japan. The Germans also blundered by attacking Russia. The USA and USSR combined overwhelmed 3 small nations who overestimated their power and underestimated their chosen foes.

All of the answers I have read to your question are totally wrong!!! They fail to take into account the true identity of "Pearl Harbor".
Actually, she was an itinerant tea maker practicing her dying trade in Southern California during the years 1922-1944.
The Germans didn't even know what they were doing when they got her bombed----she was hell on wheels when loaded. and she immediately began climbing on one of the Germans (the fat lady with the pony tail). This, as you can imagine, created quite a stir, and nearly landed Pearl in stir, but the judge had one eye and that was fixed on Pearl's decolletage, so he remanded her to his chambers and afterwards to his home, where she later became the mother of a fine litter of little ones. One of these grew to be almost 6 ft 11 in in size and wore a size 34-------------and that was just her head.
For the Germans, it was all over, but Pearl's descendants still thrive in the trackless swamps of Orange County, where they subsist on the unwary tourist who enters their domain.

This has been repeated so often by the older folks that the young uns have no idea what you are talking about.

Children, this dialogue is part of an "animal house "show that your parents/grandparents have seen in their younger days.

It has nothing to do with history. Found it myself after getting annoyed with the question.

Here it is.......
============================================

Animal House
written by Douglas Kenney, Chris Miller, & Harold Ramis

D-Day (Bruce McGill): War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter (Tim Matheson): [whispering] Germans?
Boon (Peter Riegert): Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... [thinks hard] the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! [runs out, alone; then returns] What the **** happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my *** from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer -
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let's do it.
Bluto: LET'S DO IT!!
==============================
Pretty lame now huh? But it must have been great fun then.
