【ゆっくり解説】戦後も続く交流 戦艦ティルピッツ攻撃の英雄を撃墜した海防艦「天草」女川湾の死闘

This time, we will introduce the battle between Allied aircraft and Japanese Navy ships that took place in Onagawa Bay, Miyagi Prefecture on August 9, six days before the end of the war. In this battle, Canadian Navy Captain Robert Hampton Gray was killed. Captain Gray was a heroic Canadian pilot who became famous as a master of anti-ship attacks in his attack on the German battleship "Tirpitz" and was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest medal in the UK. And the Japanese Navy's Etorofu-class coastal defense ship "Amakusa" is said to have shot down Captain Gray that day. We will introduce what the battle in Onagawa Bay between Captain Gray and the "Amakusa", which shot down the heroic Canadian pilot, was like, along with the exchange between Japan and Canada that continues after the war. ●Notes The poster is not familiar with Touhou, so Marisa and Reimu's tone may be strange.
