God's Participation In The Battle Of Midway

God’s participation in the battle tactics of WW II occurred at the very onset. Just four months after Pearl Harbor sneak strike, on April of 1942, Colonel James Doolittle a B-25

bomber pilot, organized a surprise attack on Tokyo, Osaka, and two other Japanese cities. These raids undermined the complacency of the Japanese commanders who assured their populace that American aircraft could never reach their homeland. After this surprising bombing raid launched from aircraft carriers, sixteen American B-25 bombers that flew directly to China and were rescued by Chinese peasants who hated the Japanese for their past atrocities. Consistent with their history of “crimes against humanity, Tojo retaliated by executing thousands of Chinese peasants
