not the father of Kamikaze strategy

Support for the assertion that Onishi was not the father of Kamikaze strategy may be found in Warner, Denis, Peggy Warner, with Commander Sadao Seno. 1982. The Sacred Warriors: Japan's Suicide Legions. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. [1] -Mak Thorpe 02:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

sacrifice of 20 million

I have found an article that contrasts sharply with the content so far:

It is not pleasant to contemplate how the conflict might have ended if the strategy advocated by Japan’s hardliners had prevailed. One of them, Vice Adm. Takijiro Onishi, vice chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff, stormed into a ministerial meeting on Aug. 13 to harangue against surrender, saying, “Zenkokumin nisenman-nin gisei no kakugo wo kimereba, shori wa wareware no mono” (“If the entire nation commits to accepting the sacrifice of 20 million people, then victory will be ours”).
