More IJN Officer Info

[ijnfleetadmiral]

According to the Naval Database, LCDR IIDA Hiroki 飯田弘毅 was 館山砲術学校専修学生 Tateyama Artillery School Specialized Officer Trainee in 1942. Whereas Yokosuka Artillery School conducted ship artillery training, Tateyama Artillery School conducted land battle artillery training. I guess he was assigned to 51st or 52nd Guard Units dispatched to Simushir. I think he was KIA on the west side of Simushir.

Does it give a specific date? Since he was assigned as an artillery school training officer, could this have been an accident during a training exercise? There wasn't any fighting on the island during the war, so this seems like a plausible scenario. Your thoughts?

Hi guys! Do you know who was HIRAIDE Hideo's (45 class) deputy naval attache in Italy? Thanks.

His Kanji was 平出英夫. He was the chief of 1st Section / IGHQ Naval News Department from 6 December 1940 to 15 July 1943. And he was very famous in Japan because he announced the Navy's early war results on the radio.
