Japan Troops Equal Americans In Most Fights Says OWI
The Office of War Information cites war department sources saying Japanese troops match U.S. forces in many fighting qualities except initiative. The report notes orderly adherence to plans, but unit initiative drops if an officer is killed. It states American losses at 277,000 Japanese killed 21,000, and Japan’s total losses since 1937 about 850,000 with an army of 4 million, potentially 2 million more trainable without hindering production.
