Vielfaeltig dokumentierte Tatsache ist , dass amerikanische Militaerfuehrung einen japanischer Angriff auf Pearl Harbour als hoechst unwahrscheinlich eingestuft hatte. Die Armee, die fuer die Sicherheit des Flottenstuetzpunkts zustaendig gewesen war, hatte noch nicht mal vorbereitete Kriegsplaene fuer eine solche Eventualitaet. Die Kriegsplaene der Kriegsmarine sahen aus dem Grunde auch nicht die Verteidigung des Stuetzpunkts als solchem vor, sondern es waren Einsatzplaene um mit dem Gegener auf See in's Gefecht zu kommen.
Kein Amerikaner ahnte , geschweige denn wusste etwas von dem japanischen Angiffsplan:
•Admiral Bunkley said that in October, 1941, while his ship was in port, they were not under any condition of readiness, i.e., under conditions one, two or three.
•[///]There were no changes ordered prior to December 7 that he could remember.
•Admiral Bloch stated that Condition 3 was, and for several months had been, in effect for the Fleet; the condition of readiness for Navy shore establishments and aircraft was determined by each commanding officer, but there was none in effect on December 7th, except normal day to day routine for training (page 390).
•Admiral Kimmel testified that Admiral Bloch's performance of duty as Naval Base Defense Officer was satisfactory (page 285).
He was to advise of the condition of readiness, but this did not relieve the Senior Officer Present Afloat from fixing the condition of readiness (page 286).
•Admiral Bloch, he said, was designated as Naval Base Defense Officer and was to command the Naval forces in the event of an attack,
•Admiral Bloch testified that [after the 'war warning'] no change was made in the condition of readiness,
•Admiral Bloch said, "So far as I know, I advised no condition of readiness. I might say that I felt that I could not independently advise a condition of readiness without the knowledge of the Commander in Chief;
•According to Admiral Bellinger, the condition of the planes as to readiness between November 27th and December 7th was the "normal" condition B 5 (50% on four hours notice) which was the normal condition of readiness
•he condition of readiness of the Fleet, Admiral Kimmel testified, was not changed after November 27th [after the 'war warning'] because full security measures for ships at sea were already in effect.
•Admiral Kimmel testified that the Navy condition of readiness in effect was condition No. 3 as set forth in 2CL 41 [///]
•[Admiral Kimmel ]He said that he considered condition 3 and the measures which he had in force sufficient under the circumstances
•Admiral Kitts testified that Condition 3 was in effect at sea and its equivalent in effect in port (page 513). He said that the condition of readiness at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 was equal to or better than that laid down in 2CL 4 1, dealing with Port Security
•Admiral Anderson said that none of the three specific conditions of readiness set forth in sub heading G of 2CL 41 were maintained by the Fleet while it was in Pearl Harbor during November and December.
•Admiral Smith *said that the fact that the Fleet was based at Pearl Harbor rather than on the mainland did not affect the materiel conditions or readi¬ness of the Fleet for war;
•* Vice Admiral Smith testified that he was Chief of Staff of the Pacific Fleet from February, 1941 to 7 December 1941
•*[Vice Admiral Smith ]Advises the Commander in Chief (CinC) on all matters concerning the war readi-ness and battle efficiency of the Fleet.
Erst in 1942 wurden massive Vorsichtsmassnahmen gegen japanische Luftangriffe unternommen. So wurden zum Beispiel die riesigen Gelaende der Flugzeugbaufirmen voellig mit Planen ueberdeckt auf die Weiden, Strassen, Haeuser , Baeume, Haine , Viehzeug, Autos usw aufgemalt wurden : ein Flugzeug haette diese Anlagen aus der Luft nicht finden koennen.
Und wieviel offizielle 'PearlHarbour-Untersuchungen' hatte es eigentlich gegeben? Eine?
Keine einzige Untersuchung kam zu dem Schluss dass 'man' mit einem Angriff 'gerechnet' , oder gar gewusst haette .
