HOW USA FEARED BY "TOKYO ROSE"

In this article i want to write about psychological operations done by Japan against allies forces in world war 2 . when allied forces Britain USA want to defeat Japan and try to stop their occupation in Asian continent . japan, a small force try to stop their action not only by through their army but also through their propaganda . their propaganda had great effect on the morale of the allied forces .one of the operation was done by "Tokyo Rose"

Who was Tokyo rose?. Her name was "Iva Toguri D'Aquino." .After the end of the war it was found that she was a citizen of America . Tokyo rose was the name of the radio broadcaster . the main aim of the announcer was to disrupt the morale of the allied forces. Tokyo rose used to do "zero hour" for Tokyo radio . The program was so popular even most of the allied forces glue to the radio even during war.
What she did ? Through her Fluent English she did "Zero Hour" program for the Tokyo Radio . In that program , she said about the captured soldiers whom she interviewed.she said about how allied soldiers general were living luxurious life and putting soldiers life in death , how Japanese were advanced in fighting skill , technology , numbers compare to allied forced in the battle field .she gave credible information also about the allied regiment, who were majors , about numbers , rank etc about allied forces in fluent English. It made allied forcs to believe her .

Most of the time , she used say allied forces could not defeat Japan via captured soldiers . It create a dis belief among the allied soldiers itself . their morale was disrupted . they were glue to radio during her program ,and allied started to doubting about their ability

Actually she didn't meet any of the soldiers . Japan army gave information about the soldiers who were captured by them . they aimed to create a disruptive among soldiers so that Japanese could get time to regroup and to divert the allied army from Japanese weak position in the war field .

i would say they achieved partial result through their pyscho fear operation by "Tokyo Rose" . because japan able to fight against other allied even after fall of berlin .

From this article what i am trying to say in during war time we have to be careful while listen to enemy propaganda because it may completely misguide about their enemy strength and their weakness. Japan did with Tokyo Rose and Britian did with BBC.
