During WW2?

Question

Where there any Japanese fighting in Europe? Or where the Germans and Japanese pretty much seperated?

Otaku what are you talking about? Explain -,-

Answer 1

The only Japanese soldiers in Europe during WWII were part of diplomatic missions. Even though Japan was part of the Axis there military and naval attachés in London, Washington and Moscow until the Pacific War started in December, 1942. Their function was essentially “legal” espionage. They observed what they could of Allied military and naval affairs and reported back to their superiors via diplomatic channels, usually by encrypted telegraphy. Some of what they learned was undoubtedly passed on to the German high command.

After the Allies declared war the Japanese diplomatic missions were closed in London and Washington, but Japanese military diplomats continued to function in Moscow. However, Stalin’s NKVD didn’t allow them much opportunity to make any meaningful observations.

The Japanese military mission in Berlin was quite large. They exchanged information with their German counterparts. Also they acted as liaison for special assignments. For example, Japan did not have extensive experience in high performance aircraft engines, particularly inline liquid cooled engines of the kinds used in high altitude fighters like the Bf-109, the Spitfire and the Mustang. When the Japanese Army Air Force sought to obtain permission, plans, machine tools and dies needed to manufacture a Japanese version of the Daimler-Benz DB601 engine (eventually used in the Ki-61 “Tony” fighter, one of the faster and highest flying Japanese fighters of the war), it was Japan’s military diplomats in Berlin who carried out the initial negotiations.

In the early stages of the war when it seemed possible that the Germans might capture the Suez Canal, there was some preliminary attempts at strategic coordination between Japanese and German officers at the attaché level. They discussed a joint invasion of India in order to totally cut off Great Britain from her Asian colonial bases.

Japan and Germany kept in contact mainly by long range submarines. Some of these subs also carried high-value cargo (the DB601 plans and tools I previously mentioned, for example). One tried to deliver a shipment of highly enriched uranium, but was captured by the Americans. Some historians believe that part of this uranium wound up in the Little Boy weapon that devastated Hiroshima.

Answer 2

The Japanese did not have any military presence in Europe. They did have some representatives, but that was more like a military liason or embassy. The Germans did have a few U-boats in Japanese territory, but not a significant number.

Because of the wide separation there was little the two powers could do to help each other. And the few things that might have been possible were derailed by internal politics, mostly in Japan.

Answer 3

Hit up "German worldwide conflict 2 uniforms "on the internet. Are such a great type of between nicely-known Wehrmacht, SS,Luftwaffe, and such. be conscious of the German SS Panzer group wore Black alot to cover grease stains whilst after wrestle for evaluation to look sparkling to boot as menacing.

The 442/100 regimental combat unit were Japanese-Americans.....does that count? They fought in Italy and France and were the most decorated American unit of world war two.

Answer 6

No Japanese fighting in Europe but clear up someones answer, we did fight Germany in WWI and WWII

WWI - The US fought Germany from 1917 to 1918 in a "war to end all wars", in response to The death of a Archduke that was assassinated in Germany 1914.
WWII - The US fought Germany, Japan and Italy from 1940 till
1945 Japan, Italy and Germany signed the Tripartite Treaty in case any allied forces declared war on any of the countries, then the other countries would declare war on the US. On Dec. 7th, 1940, Japan declared war on the US by bombing Pearl Harbor. On Dec 11th, 1940, Germany declared war on the US in agreement with the treaty that the three countries signed in early 1940. Germany surrendered in 1945.

Answer 7

They were separated. Although they were allies during WW II, the Japanese fought in Asia and the Germans fought in Europe and Africa.
