Pearl Harbor inquiry contentions by Admiral Kimmel
Testimony details Kimmel's claim that crucial intercepted Japanese messages and warning advisories were withheld from him before December 7 1941 restricting fleet movements. He argues lack of timely intelligence and specific orders prevented a decisive Hawaii defense and would have altered the attack outcome. He cites Navy Department missteps and a shift in information policy after August 1941.
