What Happened To Rest Tojo
A Japanese imperial headquarters communique broadcast by Tokyo radio says Japan lost seven warships and damaged six in the Solomons and New Guinea operations since August 7, 1942, while Allied forces suffered eight sunk and eight damaged. The toll covers up to February 7 with multiple ships sunk or damaged on both sides. The message notes a slight Allied edge in aerial losses and totals for ships, with broader war reports and a Berlin relayed translation. A separate Berlin report notes total mobilization suspends nonessential sports in Germany.
