ร uno dei volti piรน amati e riconoscibili della comicitร italiana. Ha dato vita a personaggi intramontabili come Olmo, l'ingegner Cane, Bastilani, il pagliaccio Baraldi... e chi piรน ne ha ne metta! Ebbene sรฌ, Fabio De Luigi รจ passato dal BSMT. Da Mai Dire Gol a Love Bugs, fino al cinema come attore e regista: Fabio ha costruito una carriera lunghissima tra sketch diventati cult, personaggi entrati nell'immaginario collettivo e una comicitร inconfondibile. Al BSMT abbiamo ripercorso tutte le tappe del suo percorso: dagli inizi alle difficoltร dei primi tempi, dalla svolta con la Gialappa's Band ai grandi successi al cinema, passando per il modo in cui nascono un personaggio, una battuta o un film, e per il rapporto con il pubblico che lo segue da oltre vent'anni. E mentre continua a reinventarsi, proprio in questi giorni torna anche sul grande schermo con il suo nuovo film, โUn bel giornoโ, in uscita oggi al cinema. Una chiacchierata piena di ironia, ricordi e riflessioni, che racconta Fabio De Luigi oltre i personaggi e la comicitร . Perchรฉ dietro quella comicitร inconfondibile c'รจ uno sguardo sul mondo tutt'altro che banaleโฆ e tanta, tanta saggezza.

ร uno dei rapper piรน autentici, riconoscibili e liberi della scena italiana. Un artista che ha fatto della parola un'arma, un gioco e una forma di sopravvivenza. Ebbene sรฌ, Clementino รจ passato dal BSMT. Dalle battle di freestyle all'esordio discografico, dal successo alle grandi collaborazioni, Clementino ha costruito un percorso fuori dagli schemi, portando nel rap italiano la sua lingua, la sua storia e una personalitร impossibile da imitare. Un viaggio fatto di energia, identitร e veritร , capace di parlare a pubblici diversi senza mai perdere autenticitร . Al BSMT abbiamo parlato di musica e di parole, di Napoli, di scrittura e di palco. Ma anche del percorso personale dietro l'artista: le cadute, le ripartenze, il rapporto con se stesso, con il successo e con la libertร di essere sempre, fino in fondo, Clementino. Abbiamo attraversato tutte le fasi della sua vita: l'ascesa, il momento piรน buio, la dipendenza da sostanze, il periodo in comunitร e il lungo lavoro di recupero. Fino alla rinascita di oggi: una nuova luciditร , una consapevolezza diversa, una vita ripulita e una musica che nasce da un equilibrio conquistato, non piรน rincorso. Una chiacchierata intensa, vera e senza filtri, che racconta Clementino oltre il personaggio. Un artista che non ha mai smesso di dire la veritร . Nemmeno quando faceva piรน male.

ร l'artista piรน discusso, ascoltato e osservato del momento. Una maschera, una voce, un progetto che ha spiazzato tutti. Ebbene sรฌ, TonyPitony รจ passato dal BSMT. Negli ultimi tempi ha conquistato classifiche, streaming e attenzione mediatica con un'identitร volutamente nascosta e testi dissacranti, ironici, spesso scomodi. Dai numeri record su Spotify alla sigla del FantaSanremo 2026, TonyPitony รจ diventato un vero e proprio caso culturale, capace di dividere, provocare e far parlare di sรฉ come pochi altri. Ma dietro la maschera c'รจ molto di piรน: insieme abbiamo la sua storia: dalle origini agli inizi nella musica, dal โnoโ a X Factor al successo esploso fuori dai radar tradizionali, dal rapporto con l'industria musicale alla scelta di non mostrarsi mai. Non rilascia interviste, non racconta la sua vita privata, non spiega il personaggio. Ed รจ proprio questo silenzio ad aver alimentato il mito. Ma al BSMT ha fatto un'eccezione. Si รจ raccontato come mai prima d'ora, aprendo uno spiraglio sul suo mondo, sulla sua visione artistica e su ciรฒ che sta davvero dietro a ogni scelta. Perchรฉ sรฌ, un perchรฉ c'รจ. E non รจ affatto banale. Una chiacchierata che molti aspettavano da tempo, noi compresi, e che va ben oltre ogni le aspettative. Un TonyPitony, senza maschereโฆo quasi.

ร uno dei registi italiani piรน riconosciuti e influenti al mondo. Uno dei pochi capaci di trasformare il cinema in visione, stile e racconto del tempo che viviamo. Ebbene sรฌ, Paolo Sorrentino รจ passato dal BSMT. Da Le conseguenze dell'amore a Il Divo, da This Must Be the Place a Loro, fino a La grande bellezza, premio Oscar e spartiacque del cinema italiano contemporaneo. Un percorso che prosegue con The Young Pope e The New Pope, con ร stata la mano di Dio, Partenope e La Grazia, appena uscito al cinema, insieme a molti altri lavori che confermano uno sguardo capace di raccontare potere, solitudine, memoria, identitร e desiderio di bellezza come pochi altri. Al BSMT abbiamo parlato di cinema, tra popolare e d'autore, di scrittura e ispirazione, di Napoli e di Maradona, del rapporto speciale con Tony Servillo e di cosa si prova a vincere un Oscar. Ma anche di libertร creativa e di quello โstile sorrentianoโ che accomuna tutti i suoi film pur rendendoli ogni volta unici e originali. E non solo: Paolo si รจ aperto anche su aspetti piรน intimi della sua vita, dai ricordi piรน traumatici dell'infanzia alla gioia di essere diventato nonno da pochissimo. Una chiacchierata rara e preziosa, che ci ha permesso di entrare nella testa e nel mondo di un autore che ha segnato, e continua a segnare, il modo di fare cinema in Italia e non solo.

ร il Nonno d'Italia, nonchรฉ uno dei volti piรน amati della storia dello spettacolo italiano. Ebbene sรฌ, Lino Banfi รจ passato dal BSMT. Dalla commedia popolare ai ruoli diventati iconici, dal cinema alla televisione, Lino Banfi ha attraversato decenni di cultura italiana restando sempre vicino alle persone. Con film come L'allenatore nel pallone e Vieni avanti cretino ha fatto ridere generazioni intere e, con Un medico in famiglia, รจ entrato definitivamente nel cuore degli italiani, diventando per tutti il Nonno Libero. Al BSMT abbiamo ripercorso la sua carriera, ma siamo andati anche oltre i personaggi: i sacrifici degli inizi, gli anni difficili, il sogno che lo ha tenuto in piedi e i successi che hanno cambiato tutto. Abbiamo parlato dell'amore per sua moglie, del legame con i figli, del rapporto con il pubblico, del tempo che passa e di come si affrontano i cambiamenti della vita. Una chiacchierata sincera e preziosa, che mostra Lino Banfi per quello che รจ sempre stato: non solo un grande attore, ma una presenza che fa parte della storia, e del cuore, di questo Paese. Per noi del BSMT, averlo qui รจ stato un regalo enorme, come siamo sicuri lo sarร questa puntata anche per tutti voi.

ร la primaria piรน giovane d'Italia. Medico d'urgenza e direttrice di un Pronto Soccorso a Roma. Sui social, รจ una delle voci piรน autorevoli nel raccontare la medicina per ciรฒ che รจ davvero: complessa, concreta, profondamente umana. Ebbene sรฌ, Minerva Salute รจ passata dal BSMT. Ogni giorno lavora dove le decisioni sono immediate e le responsabilitร enormi, sempre in emergenza e a combattere tra la vita e la morte delle persone. Accanto al lavoro in corsia, la dottoressa Solange Fugger, in poco piรน di un anno, รจ diventata il volto piรน seguito della divulgazione medica sui social: con Minerva Salute porta fuori dagli ospedali ciรฒ che spesso resta invisibile e racconta la medicina con un linguaggio chiaro, diretto, senza sensazionalismi e senza filtri. E con il suo aiuto abbiamo provato a farlo anche noi. Per la prima volta, al BSMT, abbiamo parlato di pronto soccorso, di sanitร oggi, di comunicazione scientifica, di errori, di pressione emotiva e di cosa significa prendersi cura delle persone nei momenti piรน critici della loro vita. Ma anche del percorso che ha portato Solange fin lรฌ, delle scelte, dei sacrifici e del motivo per cui ha sentito il bisogno di raccontare la medicina fuori dagli ospedali, senza filtri e senza sensazionalismi.

In questa ultima puntata dell'anno ti guido in una pratica di contemplazione e journaling per fermarti, tirare le somme e processare l'anno che si chiude. Un rituale semplice e profondo. Buona pratica e buone feste!
Quando parli italiano, conoscere le espressioni giuste per ogni situazione รจ fondamentale quanto sapere la grammatica. Questo articolo ti mostra piรน di 70 frasi essenziali che gli italiani usano ogni giorno nelle conversazioni normali. Imparerai le espressioni pratiche per salutare, ringraziare, scusarti, chiedere aiuto e molto altro. 50+ Frasi Comuni da Usare in Conversazione in Italia Fase 1: Iniziare una Conversazione L'Importanza delle Domande Aperte Per iniziare bene una conversazione, devi usare domande aperte. Cosa significa? Sono domande che invitano l'altra persona a parlare e a raccontare qualcosa, non solo a dire "sรฌ" o "no". Domande da evitare (sono troppo chiuse): 1. "Tutto bene?" 2. "Va tutto ok?" 3. "Sta bene?" (formale con Lei) Queste domande portano solo a risposte brevi come "sรฌ" o "no", e poi la conversazione si blocca. Domande migliori (aprono la conversazione): 4. "Che mi racconti?" 5. "Come procede?" 6. "Come sta?" (formale) Con queste domande, l'altra persona deve raccontare qualcosa e parlare di piรน. Se vuoi davvero invitare qualcuno a parlare, usa queste espressioni molto utili: 7. "Che c'รจ di nuovo?" / 8. "Novitร ?" Queste sono perfette perchรฉ dicono "Raccontami tutto quello che รจ successo!" Fase 2: Rispondere Quando Ti Chiedono Come Stai Quando qualcuno ti chiede "Come stai?", devi scegliere la risposta giusta per la situazione. Risposte Positive 9. "Bene, grazie!" 10. "Tutto bene!" 11. "Benissimo!" 12. "Sto bene, e tu?" 13. "Alla grande!" (registro informale, significa "molto bene") Usa queste espressioni quando stai bene e vuoi comunicarlo. Risposte Neutre o Moderatamente Negative Attenzione: nei libri di italiano trovi sempre "cosรฌ cosรฌ", ma gli italiani quasi mai lo usano davvero! Ecco cosa dicono invece: 14. "Non troppo male" (vuol dire "non sto benissimo, ma va bene cosรฌ") 15. "Boh, non benissimo" ("boh" mostra che non sei sicuro) 16. "Mah..." (dici solo questo con faccia perplessa โ dice tutto senza parole!) 17. "Potrebbe andare meglio" (modo gentile per dire "non sto benissimo") 18. "Non รจ il massimo" (significa che le cose non vanno molto bene) 19. "Non รจ un disastro, ma potrebbe andare meglio" (versione piรน completa e onesta) Fase 3: Ringraziare Dire grazie รจ molto importante in italiano. Puoi usare espressioni diverse a seconda della situazione e di quanto formale vuoi essere. Espressioni di Ringraziamento 20. "Grazie!" (la forma base, sempre corretta) 21. "Grazie mille!" 22. "Grazie tante!" 23. "Ti ringrazio" / "La ringrazio" (piรน sincero e personale) 24. "Sei troppo gentile!" / "ร troppo gentile!" (quando qualcuno รจ molto gentile con te) 25. "Non dovevi!" (quando ricevi un regalo inaspettato) Fase 4: Rispondere a "Grazie" In italiano, quando qualcuno ti dice "grazie", devi sempre rispondere! Non puoi restare in silenzio, altrimenti sembra scortese. Risposte Appropriate ai Ringraziamenti 26. "Prego!" (la piรน usata in tutta Italia) 27. "Di niente!" 28. "Figurati!" (informale) 29. "Si figuri!" (formale) 30. "Il piacere รจ tutto mio" (molto educato ed elegante) 31. "Non c'รจ problema!" / "Tranquillo!" (molto casual) Fase 5: Scusarsi e Rispondere alle Scuse Tutti dobbiamo chiedere scusa qualche volta โ quando arriviamo in ritardo, facciamo un errore o creiamo un problema. Ecco come farlo: Formulare le Scuse 32. "Scusa!" / "Scusi!" (formale) 33. "Mi dispiace tanto!" 34. "Scusami per il ritardo" / "Mi scusi per il ritardo" (formale) 35. "Chiedo scusa" (piรน formale) 36. "Perdonami!" / "Mi perdoni!" (formale) Quando qualcuno si scusa con te, devi rispondere anche qui! Accettare le Scuse 37. "Non ti preoccupare!" / "Non si preoccupi!" (formale) 38. "Non fa niente!" / "Figurati!" 39. "Nessun problema!" Fase 6: Chiedere Aiuto o Informazioni Quando hai bisogno di aiuto, รจ meglio usare il condizionale ("potresti", "potrebbe") per essere piรน educato. Rende la richiesta meno diretta. Formulare Richieste di Aiuto 40. "Potresti indicarmi la strada per...?" 41. "Potrebbe indicarmi la strada per...?" (formale) 42. "Potresti darmi una mano?" (informale) 43. "Potrebbe darmi una mano?" (formale) 44. "Potresti/Potrebbe aiutarmi, per favore?" Nota importante: "Darmi una mano" รจ un'espressione che significa semplicemente "aiutarmi". Gli italiani la usano moltissimo! Fase 7: Rispondere a una Richiesta di Aiuto Quando qualcuno ti chiede aiuto, le tue risposte dipendono da una cosa semplice: puoi aiutarlo oppure no? Se Puoi Aiutare 45. "Sรฌ, certo!" 46. "Volentieri!" 47. "Con piacere!" Se Non Puoi Aiutare (o Non Sei Sicuro) 48. "Mi dispiace, non posso aiutarti/aiutarla" 49. "Non ne sono sicuro/a" / "Non ne ho idea" / "Boh!" (molto informale) Fase 8: Offrire Qualcosa e Rispondere a un'Offerta Gli italiani amano offrire caffรจ, cibo e aiuto! Devi sapere come offrire qualcosa, e anche come accettare o rifiutare in modo educato. Formulare un'Offerta 50. "Ti va un caffรจ?" / "Le va un caffรจ?" (formale) 51. "Posso offrirti qualcosa?" / "Posso offrirLe qualcosa?" (formale) 52. "Vuoi/Vuole bere qualcosa?" 53. "Accomodati!" / "Si accomodi!" (per invitare qualcuno a sedersi - formale) Accettare un'Offerta 54. "Sรฌ, grazie!" / "Volentieri!" 55. "Molto gentile, grazie!" 56. "Non mi dispiacerebbe!" (significa "sรฌ, mi piacerebbe") 57. "Perchรฉ no?" (modo informale per dire "sรฌ") Rifiutare in Modo Educato 58. "No, grazie, sei/รจ troppo gentile!" 59. "Grazie mille, ma ho giร mangiato/bevuto" 60. "Magari un'altra volta, grazie!" Fase 9: Esprimere Accordo Quando qualcuno dice qualcosa e tu pensi "Esatto! Hai ragione!", come lo dici in italiano? Espressioni di Accordo 61. "Assolutamente!" 62. "Esattamente!" 63. "Verissimo!" 64. "Sono completamente d'accordo (con te/lei)" 65. "Chiaro!" / "Lo ammetto!" (utilizzato particolarmente dai giovani) Curiositร : "Lo ammetto" letteralmente significa "riconoscere qualcosa", ma i giovani lo usano cosรฌ: "Quel film รจ bellissimo!" โ "Eh sรฌ, lo ammetto!" Come modo per dire "sono d'accordo". Fase 10: Esprimere Disaccordo E se invece NON sei d'accordo? Devi fare attenzione a quanto vuoi essere diretto, in base alla situazione. Formulare il Disaccordo 66. "Non sono d'accordo (con te/Lei)" 67. "Non รจ il mio modo di vedere le cose" (educato e diplomatico) 68. "Ma stai scherzando?" / "Ma sei pazzo/a?" (attenzione! Molto informale, usa solo con amici stretti!) Fase 11: Esprimere Opinioni in Modo Neutro e Interrompere Educatamente A volte non vuoi essere troppo diretto, oppure devi cambiare argomento senza sembrare scortese. Ecco come fare: Esprimere Incertezza 69. "Forse..." / "Puรฒ darsi..." 70. "Dipende..." (molto usato!) 71. "Non saprei..." 72. "Mah, non sono convinto/a" (quando hai dubbi) Interrompere o Cambiare Argomento 73. "Scusa se ti interrompo, ma..." / "Mi scusi se La interrompo, ma..." (formale) 74. "Posso dire una cosa?" 75. "A proposito..." (per cambiare argomento in modo naturale) 76. "Comunque..." (anche questo per cambiare argomento) Nota utile: Gli italiani usano "comunque" e "a proposito" tantissimo! Sono come ponti che ti permettono di passare da un argomento all'altro senza problemi. Fase 12: Concludere e Salutare La conversazione รจ stata piacevole, ma ora devi andare. Come concludi in modo naturale? Segnalare che Vuoi Concludere 77. "ร stato un piacere vederti/vederla" 78. "Beh, credo che sia meglio andare, ho molte cose da fare" Saluti Finali 79. "Ciao!" (informale) 80. "Arrivederci!" / "ArrivederLa!" (formale) 81. "Buona giornata!" 82. "A presto!" (ci vediamo tra giorni o settimane) 83. "A dopo!" / "A piรน tardi!" (ci vediamo oggi) 84. "Alla prossima!" 85. "Abbi/Abbia cura di te/sรฉ" (molto carino) 86. "Salutami la tua famiglia!" Curiositร interessante: Gli italiani, anche se amano la loro lingua, usano spesso parole inglesi nei saluti! Sentirai molto spesso: 87. "Bye!" / 88. "Bye bye!" Quindi puoi usarlo anche tu senza problemi. Approfondimento: Elementi per una Conversazione Autentica Parlare del Tempo: L'Argomento Preferito degli Italiani Gli italiani adorano parlare del tempo! Ogni conversazione, prima o poi, arriva a questo argomento. ร un modo facile per iniziare o continuare una chiacchierata: "Che brutto tempo con questa pioggia, che depressione!" "E da te che tempo fa?" "C'รจ il sole almeno?" "Qui piove da tre giorni..." Parlare del tempo รจ considerato un argomento sicuro quando non conosci bene la persona con cui parli. ร perfetto per iniziare una conversazione! I Riempitivi: Come Rendere il Tuo Italiano Piรน Naturale I riempitivi sono piccole parole che gli italiani usano mentre parlano. Non hanno un significato preciso, ma rendono la conversazione piรน naturale e fluida. Ecco i piรน comuni: RiempitivoFunzione Comunicativa"Allora..."Iniziare un enunciato o prendere tempo per formulare il pensiero"Dunque..."Funzione analoga a "allora", con registro leggermente piรน formale"Insomma..."Riassumere o esprimere difficoltร nell'articolazione del pensiero"Cioรจ..."Riformulare o fornire chiarimenti aggiuntivi"Praticamente..."Semplificare una spiegazione complessa"Tipo..."Introdurre esempi (registro informale giovanile) Esempio di utilizzo integrato: "Allora, praticamente dovrei andare al supermercato, cioรจ, devo comprare un po' di cose, tipo latte, pane, insomma, le cose base!" Vedi? Suona immediatamente piรน italiano! Non usarne troppi, ma qualcuno qua e lร ti farร sembrare piรน naturale.
Hey before I begin I just want to thank all of you who have joined the patreon, you guys are awesome. Please let me know what other figures, events or other things you want to hear about in the future and I will try to make it happen. ย If you are a long time listener to the Pacific War week by week podcast over at KNG or viewer of my youtube channel you have probably heard me talk about Tomoyuki Yamashita, the Tiger of Malaya quite often. It goes without saying when it comes to Japanese generals of WW2 he stands out. Not just to me, from the offset of the war he made a large impression on westerners, he achieved incredible feats early on in the war. Now if you look up books about him, you will pretty much only find information in regards to his infamous war crimes trial. Hell it was so infamous the legal doctrine of hierarchical accountability for war crimes, whereby a commanding officer is legally responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by his subordinates, was created. This is known as the command responsibility or โthe Yamashita standardโ. His court case was very controversial, he remains a controversial figure, certainly to the people of territories he campaigned in, but I think what can be said of him the most is he was special amongst the Japanese generals. Anyways lets get the show on the road as they say. ย So who was Yamashita? When he was 59 years old commanding forces in the Philippines against General Douglas MacArthur, he weighed 220 ls and stood 5 feet 9 inches. His girth pressed out against his green army uniform. He had an egg shaped head, balding, wide spaced eyes and a flat nose. He wore a short mustache, sort of like Hitlers, until it grayed then he shaved it off. He was not a very attractive man, Filipinos referred to him as โold potato faceโ while Americans called him โa florid, pig faced manโ. ย Tomobumi Yamashita was born in 1885, he was the second son of Dr. Sakichi Yamashita and Yuu Yamashita in Osugi village, on Shikoku island. Like most males of his day he was indoctrinated into military preparatory school from a young age. Yamashita had no chosen the army as a career, in his words โmy father suggested the idea, because I was big and healthy, and my mother did not seriously object because she believed, bless her soul, that I would never pass the highly competitive entrance examination. If I had only been cleverer or had worked harder, I would have been a doctor like my brotherโYamashita would graduate from the 18th class of the IJA academy in november of 1905, ranked 16th out of 920 cadets.ย ย In 1908 he was promoted to the rank of Lt and during WW1 he fought against Imperial German and Austro-Hungarian forces in the famous siege of Qingdao, which if you are interested I did an episode over on my Youtube channel about this battle. Its a very overlooked battle, but many histories firsts occurred at it like the first carrier attack. In 1916 he was promoted to captain and attended the 28th class of the Army War college to graduate sixth in his class that year. He also married Hisako Nagayama in 1916, she was the daughter of the retired General Nagayama.ย ย It seems Yamashita's brush against the Germans in 1914 had a huge influence on him, because he became fascinated with Germany and would serve as assistant military attache at Bern and Berlin from 1919-1922. He spent his time in Germany alongside Captain Hideki Tojo, both men would run into each other countless times and become bitter rivals. Both men toured the western front, visiting Hamburg and witnessed first hand the crippling inflation and food prices that came from Germany's defeat. Yamashita said to Tojo then โIf Japan ever has to fight any nation, she must never surrender and get herself in a state like this.โ He returned to Japan in 1922, was promoted to major and served a few different posts in the Imperial Headquarters and Staff College. Yamashita became a leading member of the Kodoha faction, while Tojo became a leading member of the rival Toseiha faction. In 1927 Yamashita was sent again to Europe, this time to Vienna as a military attache. Just prior to departing he had invested in a business selling thermometers starting by one of his wife's relatives, the business failed horribly and Yamashita was tossed into debt, bailiffs literally came to seize his house. As told to us by his biographer โFor a regular officer to have contracted such a debt, however innocently, was a disgrace. He felt he should resign his commission.โ Yamashita's brother refused to allow him to quit, instructing him to leave for Vienna, while he resolved his debts. His days in Vienna were the best of his life, professed Yamashita. He studied economics at Vienna university and made friends with a Japanese widow, who introduced him to a German woman named Kitty and they had an affair. This would spring forward his reputation as an eccentric officer. Yamashita was obsessed over hygiene,and refused to eat fruit unless it was thoroughly washed. He avoided ice water, hated dancing and never learnt how to drive a car. One of his most notable quirks was his habit of falling asleep often during meetings where he legendarily would snore. Like I may have said in previous podcast and youtube episodes, this guy was quite a character, often described as a big bear.ย ย Now this is not a full biography on Yamashita so I cant devolve to far into things, such as his first fall from grace. During the February 26th coup incident of 1936, Yamashita was a leading member of the Kodoha faction and helped mediate a peaceful end to the standoff, however in truth he was backing the coup. He simply managed to not get caught red handed at the time doing too much for the mutineers, regardless he lost favor with the outraged Emperor and many young captains whom he loved like sons killed themselves in disgrace. If you want to know more about the February coup of 1936, check out my series on Emperor Hirohito or General Ishawara, they both talk about it in depth and touch upon Yamashita's role a bit.ย ย The coup led to the dissolvement of the Kodoha faction and the dominance of the Toseiha, led by Tojo. Yamashita tried to resign from the IJA, but his superiors dissuade him. He was relegated to a post in Korea, which honestly was a punishment. Yamashita would say โWhen I was posted to Korea, I felt I had been given a tactful promotion but that in fact my career was over. Even when I was given my first fighting company in North China, I still felt I had no future in the Army, so I was always on the front line, where the bullets flew the thickest. I sought only a place to die.โย He had some time to reflect upon his conduct while in Korea, he began to study Zen Buddhism. He was promoted to Lt General in November of 1937 and when the China war broke out he was one of those speaking out that the incident needed to end swiftly and that peaceful relations must be made with the UK and US. He received a unimportant post in the Kwantung army and in 1938 was assigned command of the IJA 4th division. He led the forces during in northern china against insurgents until he returned to Tokyo in July of 1940. His fellow officers lauded him as Japan's finest general. Meanwhile Tojo had ascended to war minister and one of his first moves was to send a delegation to Germany. Tojo considered Yamashita a ruthless and forceful commander and feared he would become a powerful rival against him one day. Yamashita would go on the record to say then โI have nothing against Tojo, but he apparently has something against me.โ You see, Yamashita had no political ambitions, unlike Tojo who was by nature a political monster. โMy life, is that of a soldier; I do not seek any other life unless our Emperor calls me.โ In late 1940, Tojo asked Yamashita to lead a team of 40 experts on a 6 month train tour of Germany and Italy, a move that kept him out of Tokyo, because Tojo was trying to solidify his political ambitions. This is going to become a looming theme between the two men. ย He was presented to Adolf Hitler in January of 1941, passing along messages from Tojo and publicly praising the Fuhrer, though privately he was very unimpressed by the manย โHe may be a great orator on a platform, with his gestures and flamboyant way of speaking. But standing behind his desk listening he seems much more like a clerk.โ Hitler pressed upon him to push Japan to declare war on Britain and the US. At the time of course Japan was facing China and had two major conflicts with the USSR, thus this was absolutely not in her interest. โMy country is still fighting in China, and we must finish that war as soon as possible. We are also afraid that Russia may attack us in Manchuria. This is no time for us to declare war on other countries.โ Yamashita hoped to inspect Germany's military techniques and technology to help Japan. Hitler promised open exchanges of information stating โAll our secrets are open to you,โ, but this would prove to be a lie. โThere were several pieces of equipment the Germans did not want us to see. Whenever I tried to persuade the German General Staff to show us things like radarโabout which we had a rudimentary knowledgeโthe conversation always turned to something else.โ ย Yamashita met with field Marshal Hermann Goring who gave him an overview of the war in europe. Goring would complain about Yamashita falling asleep during lectures and meetings and he believed the man was drunk often. Yamashita met Benito Mussolini in June of 1941 receiving a similar rundown to what he got in Germany. Yamashita visited Kitty in Vienna for a quick fling, but overall the trip deeply impacted Yamashita's resolve that Japan should stay out of the Europeans war and that Germany made a grievous error invading the USSR in June of 1941. This is what he said the members of the commission โYou know the results of our inspection as well as I do. I must ask you not to express opinion in favor of expanding the alliance between Japan, Germany and Italy. Never suggest in your report that Japan should declare war on Great Britain and the United States. We must not and cannot rely upon the power of other nations. Japan needs more time, particularly as there may be aggression against us from Russia. We must have time to rebuild our defense system and adjust the whole Japanese war machine. I cannot repeat this to you often enough.โ His report was similar, and it really pissed off Tojo who was trying to develop plans for a war against America. Yamashita would then get exiled to Manchuria in July of 1941, but Tojo's resentment towards him could only go so far, because Yamashita was one of their best generals and in his planned war against Britain and America, he would need such a man. ย Yamashita's time in Europe reshaped his views on how to conduct war. He saw first hand blitzkrieg warfare, it seems it fascinated him. He consistently urged the implementation of new proposals calling for the streamlining of air arms; to mechanize the Army; to integrate control of the armed forces in a defense ministry coordinated by a chairman of Joint Chiefs of staff; to create a paratroop corps and to employ effective propaganda. Basically he saw what was working for the Germans against the allies and wanted Japan to replicate it. Tojo did not like many of the proposal, hated the fact they were coming from Yamashita, so he obviously was not keen on making them happen. Luckily for Yamashita he would be given a chance to implement some of his ideas in a big way. ย On November 6th of 1941, Lt General Yamashita was appointed commander of the 25th Japanese army. His orders were to seize the Malay Peninsula and then the British naval base at Singapore. The Malaya Peninsula snakes 700 miles south of Thailand, a rugged sliver of land that constricts at its narrowest point to about 60 miles wide. It hold mountains that split the peninsula in half, some going as high as 7000 feet. During this time Malaya produced around 40% of the worlds rubber, 60% of its tin, two resources vital for war. At its very southern tip lies Singapore, a diamond shaped island connected to the mainland by a 1115 stone causeway. Singapore's largest asset was its naval base guarding the passage from the Pacific and Indian oceans. Together Malay and Singapore represented the key to controlling what Japan called the Southern Resource Area. ย Singapore was known as the gibraltar of the east for good reason. It was a massively fortified naval base. The base had been developed between 1923-1938 and cost 60 million pounds, around 2 billion pounds today. It was 21 square miles, had the largest dry dock in the world, the 3rd largest floating dock and enough fuel tanks to support the entire royal navy for 6 months. She was defended by 15 inch naval guns stationed at the Johre battery, Changi and Buona vista battery. And despite the infamous myth some of you may have heard, these guns were fully capable of turning in all directions including the mainland. For those unaware a myth perpetuated after the fall of Singapore that her large 15 inch guns could not turn to the mainland and that this spelt her doom, no it was not that, it was the fact they mostly had armor piercing shells which are using to hit ships and not land targets. Basically if you fire an armor piercing shell at land it imbeds itself then explodes, while HE shells would have torn any Japanese army to pieces. Alongside the 15 inch monsters, there were countless other artillery pieces such as 9.2 inch guns. By December of 1941 Malaya and Singapore held 164 first line aircraft out of a total of 253 aircraft, but many of the fighters were the obsolete Brewster F2A Buffalo, a pretty slow, fat little beast that could take a licking as it was armored, but against the Zero fighter it was unbelievably outmatched in speed and maneuverability.ย ย The Japanese acquired a major gift prior to the outbreak of war. On november 11th, 1940, the SS Automedon, a German raider attacked the HMS Atlantis which was carrying documents intended for the British far east command. The documents indicated the British fleet was not going to help Singapore; that Britain would not declare war if Thailand was invaded and that Hong Kong was expendable. The Germans gave the documents to the Japanese who were very excited by the information.ย ย Starting in January of 1941, Colonel Masanobu Tsuji led the Taiwan Army Research section based on Formosa to investigate how a campaign could be waged in Malay and Singapore. His findings on the defenses of Malay and Singapore were summed up in these 3 points: 1. Singapore Fortress was solid and strong facing the sea, but vulnerable on the peninsular side facing the Johore Strait;ย Newspaper reports of a strong Royal Air Force (RAF) presence were propaganda;ย Although British forces in Malaya numbered from five to six divisions (well over 80,000 men), less than half were Europeans.ย ย Now just a little bit about Tsuji as he was to become the chief of staff operations and planning under Yamashita. Tsuji was extremely insubordinate and a political schemer. He was a Toseiha faction fanatic, loyal to Tojo and thus definitely an enemy to Yamashita. Yamashita wrote of Tsuji in his war diary โis egotistical and wily. He is a sly dog and unworthy to serve the country. He is a manipulator to be carefully watched.โ Tsuji would go on to have a infamous reputation for ordering atrocities in the name of his superiors, often without them knowing and this would be very much the case under Yamashita. Now using Tsuji's intelligence Yamashita began plans at his HQ at Samah, a port on Hainan island, starting in November of 1941 on how to launch the campaign. He was initially offered 5 divisions for the invasion, but he felt he could accomplish the objective with only three. There are a few reasons why he believed this; first, Tsuji's research suggested the peninsula roads would be the center of the battlefront and that the flanks would extend no more than a km or so to the left or right due to the dense jungle terrain (in fact Yamashita was planning to assault from the jungle specifically); 2nd intelligence indicated the defending troops were not of the highest caliber (the British were busy in Europe thus many of the troops in southeast asia were poorly trained, half were british regulars the rest were Australian, Indian and Malayan); 3rd Yamashita was aware โthe Japanese army were in the habit of flinging more troops into the battle than could possibly be maintainedโ boy oh boy tell that one to the future boys on Guadalcanal. Thus he calculated 3 divisions was the maximum to be fed, equipped and supplied. Based on his recommendations the 25th army was created with 3 divisions; the 5th under Lt General Takuma Matsui; 18th under Lt General Renya Mutaguchi and the Imperial guards division of Lt General Takuma Nishimura. Supporting these would be two regiment of heavy field artillery and the 3rd tank brigade. Something that made Yamashita's campaign quite interesting was the usage and amount of tanks. He was invading with around 200 or so tanks consisting of the Type 95 Ha-Go light tank, type 97 Chi-Ha and Type 89 I-Go medium tanks and Type 97 Te-Ke tankettes. For aircraft he had the 3rd Air division, 459 aircraft strong with an additional 159 aircraft from the IJN to support them. The 3rd air division had a variety of aircraft such as Nakajima Ki-27 Nate's, Nakajima ki-43 Oscars, Kitsubishi ki-51 Sonia's, Kawasaki ki-48 Lily's, Mitsubishi ki-21 sally's, Mitsubishi ki-30 Ann's, Mitsubishi ki-15 babs and Mitsubishi ki-46 dinahs. For the IJN it was the 22nd air flotilla using Mitsubishi G3M1 Nell's, Mitsubishi A5M4 Claudes and some A6M Zeros. To say it was a lot of firepower at his disposal is an understatement, Yamashita was packing heat, heat he could use in a blitzkrieg fashion. ย His staff at Samah identified 5 operational objectives: 1 Simultaneous capture of Singora and Patani, Thailand and Kota Bharu, Malaya.ย 2 Capture of all enemy airfields in southern Thailand and Malaya.ย 3 Occupation of Kuala Lumpur, Malaya.ย 4 Occupation of Johore Bahru, and control of Johore Strait.ย 5 Conquest of Singapore.ย ย Colonel Tsuji, appointed Chief of Operations and Planning for the 25th Army, proposed the following plan which was readily approved:ย Land the main strength of the 5th Division simultaneously and without warning at Singora and Patani, and at the same time land a powerful section of the 18th Division to attack Kota Bharu.ย The troops disembarked at Singora and Patani to press forward immediately to attack the line of the Perak River Hand capture its bridge and the Alor Star aerodrome.ย The troops landed at Kota Bharu to press forward along the eastern coast as far as Kuantan.ย ย The landing at Kota Bharu, the only one in Malaya was expected to be opposed and quite risky. But if it was successful, it would create a useful diversion away from the main force landings in Thailand. ย The landings took place around 2:15am local time on December 8th, about an hour and 20 minutes before the attack on Pearl Harbor. The landings went largely unopposed, except at Kota Bahru where the Japanese saw heavy resistance. The British had anticipated this landing point and created operation Matador, a plan to pre-emptively invade southern thailand to secure defensive lines against the Japanese, however this plan was never accepted by British high command for obvious political reasons. But on December 5th, with a Japanese invasion looking certain, suddenly London gave permission to the Far east commanders to decide if Operation matador should be activated or not. The commander in Malaya, General Arthur Percival recommended forestalling it, fearing to violate Thai sovereignty, which ultimately would be the doom of a defense for Malaya. ย At the battle of Kota Bharu, the 9th infantry division of Major General Barstow attempted holding off the Japanese from taking the important Kota Bharu airfield. The 8th brigade of Billy Key had fortified the beaches with pillboxes, barbed wire and land mines. The Japanese took heavy losses, but they were able to find gaps and fill them up until Brigadier Key had to ask permission to pull out. The royal air force at Kota Bharu tossed Hudson bombers to hit the troop transports, but it was a suicide mission to do so. Meanwhile the IJA 5th division landed at Pattani and Songkhla in Thailand while the Imperial guards division marched over the border from French Indochina. The Japanese encountered very little resistance, the leader of Thailand Plaek Pibulsonggram had been trying to get assurances from the allies and Japanese all the way up until the invasion, once the Japanese landed he knew his best option was to play nice and sign an armistice. This basically spelt doom for malaya as the Japanese were given access to Thailand's airfields which they used to smash the forward airfields in Malaya. ย The first day of aerial encounters were a catastrophe for the British. General Percival would comment โThe rapidity with which the Japanese got their air attacks going against our aerodromes was quite remarkable. Practically all the aerodromes in Kelantan, Kedah, Province Wellesley, and Penang, were attacked, and in most cases fighters escorted the bombers. The performance of Japanese aircraft of all types, and the accuracy of their bombing, came as an unpleasant surprise. By the evening our own air force had already been seriously weakened.โ Brigadier Key withdrew after causing an estimated 800 casualties upon the Japanese while taking roughly 465. While Kota Bharu was being fought over, Percival unleashed Operation Krohcol, a 2.0 of Matador seeing British forces cross into Thailand to intercept the incoming enemy. It was an absolute disaster, the British attackers were defeated not only by the Japanese 5th division, but some Royal Thai police also defended their territory. The operation had basically become a race to who could seize the important focal point first and the Japanese took it first thus winning decisively. To add to that misery, force Z, consisting of the battleship HMS Prince of Wales,, battlecruiser Repulse and 4 destroyers tried to intercept the Japanese invasion fleet only to be utterly destroyed by overwhelming Japanese airforces. ย Within 4 days of the landings, the 5th division advanced from Singora through the town of Jitra to capture the RAF airfield at Alor star, around 100 miles away. Yamashita managed this using flanking techniques that saw his army take town after town and airfield after airfield. There were numerous natural obstacles to the advance such as dense jungles, very long supply lines, torrential rain and heat, but he had a secret weapon, bicycles. At Jitra Percival made his first major stand. Holding Jitra would safeguard the northern airfields of Malaya, but it was a folly to do so as the airfields in question were not provided adequate aircraft and the British lacked something extremely important to be able to defend themselves, tanks. Colonel Tsuji saw the fighting at Jitra first hand and reported โOur tanks were ready on the road, and the twenty or so enemy armored cars ahead were literally trampled underfoot โฆ The enemy armored cars could not escape by running away, and were sandwiched between our medium tanks โฆ It was speed and weight of armor that decided the issue.โ The British had spread themselves far too thinly across a 14 mile front with jungle on their right flank and rubber plantations and mangrove swamps to their left. Yamashita used a innovative blitzkrieg like tactic, he combined his air, artillery, tanks and bicycle infantry to punch holes in concentrated attacks forcing allied defenders to withdraw. As Percival would write later in his memoirs โThis withdrawal would have been difficult under the most favorable conditions. With the troops tired, units mixed as the result of the fighting, communications broken and the night dark, it was inevitable that orders should be delayed and that in some cases they should never reach the addressees. This is what in fact occurred โฆ the withdrawal, necessary as it may have been, was too fast and too complicated for disorganized and exhausted troops, whose disorganization and exhaustion it only increasedโย ย Yamashita had ingeniously thought of employing large numbers of bicycles for his infantry so they could keep up momentum and speed with his mechanized forces. Oh and he didn't bring thousands of bicycles over to Malaya, the real genius was that they were there ready for him. His intelligence prior to the invasion indicated nearly all civilians in malaya had bicycles, so when the Japanese came over they simply stole them. Half of Yamashitas troops moved in motor vehicles while the rest road on 18,000 bicycles. As noted by Tsuji โWith the infantry on bicycles, there was no traffic congestion or delay. Wherever bridges were destroyed the infantry continued their advance, wading across the rivers carrying their bicycles on their shoulders, or crossing on log bridges held up on the shoulders of engineers standing in the stream.โ They Japanese overwhelmed the defenders who were forced to fight, flee into the jungles or flee along the roads where they were simply outsped by the faster Japanese. The defenders left numerous stores of food, abandoned vehicles, and supplies that Yamashita's men would dub โchurchill's allowanceโ. British Lt Colonel Spencer Chapmanwas forced to hide on the sides of roads watching Japanese pedal past remarking โThe majority were on bicycles in parties of forty or fifty, riding three or four abreast and talking and laughing just as if they were going to a football match.โ The Japanese had the ability to carry their gear on the bicycles, giving them an enormous advantage over the allies fleeing on foot. The Japanese could travel faster, further and less fatigued. When the British destroyed 250 bridges during their flight, โthe Japanese infantry (to continue) their advance, wading across the rivers carrying their bicycles on their shoulders, or crossing on log bridges held up on the shoulders of engineers standing in the streamโ. The British could not escape the bicycle blitzkrieg as it became known, countless were forced to surrender under constant pressure and relentless pursuit.ย ย Alongside the bicycle warfare, whenever Yamashita faced terrain unsuitable for his tanks, he ordered amphibious landings further south to outflank the enemy'sย rear. ย Meanwhile the war in the air went equally terrible for the allies. The RAF had pulled back its best pilots and aircraft to deal with the war for Britain against the Luftwaffe. 21 airfields were in Malaya and Singapore, few of them had modern facilities, only 15 concrete runways. The heavy rain made the grass airstrips unusable. All the airfields were allocated around 8 heavy and 8 light anti aircraft guns. Quality radar units were completely inadequate. The Super Spitfires and Hyper Hurricanes were mostly in Britain fighting the Germans, while Buffaloes were allocated to Malaya. The Japanese airforces easily overcame the allied opposition and established air superiority quickly. Launching from airfields in Vietnam, they bombed all the airfields into submission and continuously applied pressure to Singapore. . The aerial dominance of the Zero and โOscar' fighters served to undermine the morale of the British infantryman on the ground. As historian H. P. Wilmot has observed, โin the opening phase of the war the Zero-sen was just what the Japanese needed, and the Allies were devastated by the appearance of a โsuper fighter.' To add insult to injury, every airfield taken starting at the most northern going further and further south towards Singapore offered the Japanese new launching points to make for faster attack. ย Yamashita's forces reached the southern tip of the peninsula in just 8 weeks, his men had covered some 700 miles, about 12 miles a day on average. They fought 95 large and smaller battles doing so. Multiple lines of defense were erected one after another to try and halt the Japanese advance, to kill their momentum. Starting at the beach landings, to Jitra, then to Kampar, over the Slim river, then Johor. The British failed to employ โleave behind forcesโ to provide guerilla warfare in lost territories leading not only the Japanese to easily consolidate their gains, the Thai's also came down and grabbed some territory. At the battle of Muar Major General Gordon Bennet deployed the allied defenders south of the Muar River and it was widely believed here they would finally halt the Japanese. Then the Imperial Guards division outflanked them performing an amphibious landing and advancing down the coastal route. The 5th Japanese division followed a parallel route through the center and the 18th division landed near Endau. The allies were thus surrounded and took heavy casualties, countless were forced to flee through swamps and thick jungle abandoned their stuff. Gordons 45th brigade were absolutely shattered, effectively disbanded and left north of the Muar river as the rest of the allies fled south. The defeat at Muar broke the British belief they could hold even a toehold on Malay. Percivals strategy to fight delaying actions until the arrival of reinforcements to Singapore had fatally undermined his troops ability to hold onto defensive positions. As the British governor of the Johore straits settlement, Sir Shenton Thomas would say on January 6th โโWe โฆ have gone in for mechanized transport to the nth degree. It is a fearsomely cumbersome method. We have pinned our faith to the few roads but the enemy used tracks and paths, and gets round to our rear very much as he likes.โโ Yet alongside the conquest came a series of atrocities.ย ย At the Parit Sulong Bridge south of the Muar, Captain Rewi Snelling was left behind with 150 wounded Australian and Indian soldiers not able to trek south. The Imperial guards division herded them into buildings, denied them medical treatment, many of the Indians were beheaded, others shot. This become known as the parit sulong massacre. Its hard to saw what Yamashita would have known about this incident, it technically was under the command of Takuma nishimura. On January 22nd, Nishimura gave the orders for prisoners to be forced outside, doused with petrol and set on fire. Nishimura would be sentenced to life in prison by a Singapore court, but on a flight back to Japan he was hijacked by Australian military police in Hong Kong who grabbed him and held a trial for the Parit Sulong massacre, finding him guilty and hanging him on june 11th of 1951.ย ย When the Japanese reached the straits of Johore, Yamashita took several days to perform reconnaissance, allowing his forces to regroup and prepare to attack the massive fortress. His plan for the invasion would see the Imperial guards perform a feint attack on the northeast side of Singapore, landing on the nearby Palau Ubin island on february 7th. The 5th and 18th division would remain concealed in the jungle until the night of the night of the 8th when they would cross the Johore and hit the northwest side of Singapore. The causeway to Singapore had been blown up by the retreating British, but the ability for Singapore to defend itself from a northern attack was lackluster. When Churchill was told by Wavell the Japanese sat on the other side of the Johore strait ready to attack the fortress he said โโI must confess to being staggered by Wavell's telegram. It never occurred to me for a moment that โฆ Singapore โฆ was not entirely fortified against an attack from the Northwards โฆโโ ย With barely enough supplies or logistical support for his campaign, Yamashita's rapid advance down the Malay peninsula walked a tightrope of what was possible. His 70,000 men of which 30,000 were frontline troops had overcome a British force double their number. In Japan he garnered the epithet โTiger of Malayaโ, which ironically he was not too happy about. Later on in the war he would bark at a German attache โI am not a tiger. The tiger attacks its prey in stealth but I attack the enemy in a fair playโ. ย By this point Singapore had swollen from a population of 550,000to nearly a million. Percival had a total of 70,000 infantry of mixed experience plus 15,000 clerks and support staff to man lines if necessary. 38 battalions, 17 Indian, 13 British, 6 Australian and 2 Malayan. He placed his weakest troops west of the causeway, near the abandoned naval base rather than nearby the airfield which he considered was going to be Yamashita's thrust. He placed his best forces over there, which would prove fatally wrong as Yamashita hit west of the causeway. Yamashita meanwhile could only muster 30,000 troops, he was outnumbered 2:1 and amphibious assaults called for the attacker to hold a 2:1 advantage for success. Yamashita's men were exhausted, they had suffered 4565 casualties, roughly 1793 deaths in their 55 day advance south. Worse yet, Yamashita had a critical supply issue. He had greatly exceeded his supply lines and had been surviving on the abandoned churchill stores along the way. His ammunition was critical low, it is said he was down to 18 functional tanks, allowing his men to fire 100 rounds per day, the fuel ran out, and as Yamashita put it โMy attack on Singapore was a bluffโa bluff that worked. I had 30,000 men and was outnumbered more than three to one. I knew that if I had to fight for long for Singapore, I would be beaten. That is why the surrender had to be at once. I was very frightened all the time that the British would discover our numerical weakness and lack of supplies and force me into disastrous street fighting.โ He told his men of the 5th and 18th division not to build any cooking fires so they could conceal their positions in the jungle as he gathered hundreds of collapsible boats and other crafts to ford the strait. He gathered 40 divisional commanders and senior officers to a rubber plantation and with a flushed red face read out his attack orders while pouring them Kikumasamune (ceremonial wine). He made a traditional toast and said โIt is a good place to die; surely we shall conquerโ. He had to get the British to surrender quickly, he had to essentially โbluffโ his enemy. He had to make the British think he was fully armed and supplied for a prolonged siege, how could he do so? He fired his artillery like a mad man, knowing full well they would run out of shells. ย Starting on February 3rd,ย Yamashita's artillery supported by aerial bombings hit Singapore for 5 days. On the night of the 7th, 400 Imperial Guards crossed to the Ibin island performing their feint attack. Percivals attention was grabbed to the east successfully, while on the night of the 8th the 5th and 18th divisions assembled carefully at the water's edge. At 8:30pm the first wave of 4000 Japanese troops crossed the Johore strait aboard 150 small vessels. The noise of their engines was drowned out by artillery. The thinly spread Australian lines, 3000 or so men led by Major General Bennet were breached fast leading to pockets of surrounded australian troops. As Lewis Gunner cliff olsen recalled โWe were horribly spread out and it was pitch black and they [Japanese troops] were very hard to see. They walked through us half the time.โ A beachhead was formed, a soon 14,000 Japanese had crossed by dawn.ย ย Communications broke down for the allies, Percival unwilling to believe the Japanese's main thrust was in the west declined to send reinforcements there. When he did finally realize the main thrust was in the west he began to withdraw troops from quiet sectors and built up a reserve. The Japanese held air supremacy and their artillery was fierce. The big 15 inch guns of singapore held mostly armor piercing shells designed to hit ships, there were few HE shells available. When they fired upon the Japanese the shells would hit the ground they would embed deeply before exploding doing little damage. The defenders had no tanks, basically no more aircraft. The last departing ships fled the scene as everything was burning chaos around them. Morale was breaking for the defenders. By the 9th, Japanese bombers were raining bombs on allied positions unopposed. Bennet was forced to pull men back to a new line of defense from the east of the Tengah airfield to the north of Jurong. Poor communications hampered the northern sector of Brigadier Duncan Maxwell whose troops actually battered the hell out of the Imperial Guards who had landed at 10pm on the 9th. The Imperial guards gradually managed a foothold on a beach, but Maxwell feared encirclement and withdrew his men against direct orders of Bennet. The retreat opened up the flank of the 11th indian division who were overrun. All of the beaches west of the causeway fell to the enemy, when they did Yamashita brought over his tanks to smash the new Jurong line. The Japanese could have potentially stormed the city center at this point, but they held back, because in reality, Percival had created a formidable reserve in the middle. The Australian 22nd brigade took the brunt of the fighting.ย ย Yamashita was running out of reserves and his attacks were reaching their limit, but he needed the battle to end swiftly. Yamashita was shocked and shaken when he received a report that the British troop strength within the city was twice what they believed. With covert desperation, Yamashita ordered his artillery to fire until their last rounds and sent Percival a demand for surrender. โIn the spirit of chivalry we have the honour of advising your surrender. Your army, founded on the traditional spirit of Great Britain, is defending Singapore, which is completely isolated, and raising the fame of Great Britain by the utยฌ most exertions and heroic feelings. . . . From now on resistance is futile and merely increases the danger to the million civilian inhabitants without good reason, exposing them to infliction of pain by fire and sword. But the development of the general war situation has already sealed the fate of Singapore, and the continuation of futile resistance would only serve to inflict direct harm and inยฌ juries to thousands of non-combatants living in the city, throwing them into further miseries and horrors of war. Furthermore we do not feel you will inยฌ crease the fame of the British Army by further resistance.โ ย Singapore had received another order prior to this from Churchill โIt is certain that our troops on Singapore Island greatly outnumber any Japanese that have crossed the Straits. We must defeat them. Our whole fighting reputation is at stake and the honour of the British Empire. The Americans have held out on the Bataan Peninsula against far greater odds, the Russians are turning back the picked strength of the Germans, the Chinese with almost complete lack of modยฌ ern equipment have held the Japanese for AVi years. It will be disgraceful if we yield our boasted fortress of Singapore to inferior enemy forces. There must be no thought ofsparing troops or the civil population and no mercy must be shown to weakness in any shape or form. Commanders and senior officers must lead their troops and if necessary die with them. There must be no question or thought of surrender. Every unit must fight it out to the end and in close contact with the enemy. ... I look to you and your men to fight to the end to prove that the fighting spirit that won our Empire still exists to enable us to defend it.โ ย What was Percival to do? The Japanese had seized control over Singapore water reservoirs, the population would die of thirst within 2-3 days. Japanese shells were causing fires and death everywhere. People were panicking, trying to get on the very last boats leaving the port, even though that surely meant death to the IJN. An American sailor recalled โThere was a lot of chaos and people killed on the docks during these bombardments. Everywhere you looked there was death. Even in the water there were dead sharks and people floating all around.โ Defeatism was endemic. Australian troops were overheard saying โChum, to hell with Malaya and Singapore. Navy let us down, air force let us down. If the bungs [natives] won't fight for their bloody country, why pick on me?โ Sensing a complete collapse Percival formed a tight defense arc in front of the city, and by the 13th his commanders were telling him they believed Singapore was already doomed. Wavell was asked for approval for surrender, but he repliedย โto continue to inflict maximum damage on enemy for as long as possible by house-to-house fighting if necessary.โ Percival then told him the water reservoirs were taken, so Wavell sent back โYOUR GALLANT STAND IS SERVING A PURPOSE AND MUST BE CONTINUED TO THE LIMIT OF ENDURANCEโ ย On the 15th, Percival held a morning conference reported there was no more fuel, field gun nor bofor ammunition. In 24 hours their water would be done. He told them he would ask for a ceasefire at 4pm, by the end of the day Wavell gave him permission to surrender. Over at his HQ on the Bukit Timah heights, Yamashita was staring at a Union Jack fluttering over Fort Canning. Then a field phone rang, and a frontline commander reported the British were sending out a flag of truce. ย Meanwhile back on February the 14th, Japanese forces reached the Alexandra Barracks hospital at 1pm. At 1:40pm a British Lt greeting them waving a white flag and was bayoneted on the spot. The Japanese stormed the hospital and murdered the staff and patients. 200 male staff and patients, badly wounded were bound over night and marched to an industrial estate half a mile away. Anyone who collapsed was bayoneted. The survivors of the march were formed into small groups and hacked to death or bayoneted. For a few days over 320 men and women were massacred. Only 5 survivors would give recounts of the event. It is suspected by historians that Tsuji was the architect of the Alexandra hospital massacre. This is because he was the instigator of countless atrocities he ordered unbeknownst to his superior commanders such as Yamashita.ย ย Percival was ordered to go to the Ford motor factory to where he met with Yamashita. Yamashita was hiding his surprise that the surrender party came and as he glanced at the surrender terms he said through his interpreter โThe Japanese Army will consider nothing but surrender,โ Yamashita knew his forces were on the verge of running out of ammunition and he still held half troops Percival did, he was anxious Percival would figure it out. Percival replied โI fear that we shall not be able to submit our final reply before ten-thirty p.m.,โ Percival had no intention of fighting on he simply wanted to work out specific details before signing the surrender. Yamashita was sure Percival was stalling. โReply to us only whether our terms are acceptable or not. Things must be settled swiftly. We are prepared to resume firing.Unless you do surrender, we will have to carry out our night attack as scheduled.โโ Percival replied โโCannot the Japanese Army remain in its present position? We can resume negotiations again tomorrow at five-thirty A.Mโ. Yamashita screamed โNani! I want the hostilities to cease tonight and I want to remind you there can be no arguments.โ Percival replied โโWe shall discontinue firing by eight-thirty p.m. Had we better remain in our present positions tonight?โ Yamashita said yes and that firing would cease at 8:30pm and that 1000 allied men could keep arms to maintain order within the city. Yamashita stated โYou have agreed to the terms but you have not yet made yourself clear as to whether you agree to surrender or not.โ Percival cleared his throat and gave a simple nod. Yamashita looked at his interpreter โThere's no need for all this talk. It is a simple question and I want a simple answer.โ He turned to Percival and shouted, โWe want to hear โYes' or โNo' from you! Surrender or fight!โ Percival finally blurted outย โYes, I agree. I have a request to make. Will the Imperial Army protect the women and children and British civilians?โYamashita repliedย โWe shall see to it. Please sign this truce agreementโ. At 7:50 the surrender was signed off, 40 minutes later Singapore was in the hands of the Japanese. In 70 days Yamashita took at the cost of 9824 casualties, had seized Malaya and Singapore, nearly 120,000 British surrendered. It was the greatest land victory in Japanese history. ย Churchill called the fall of Singapore to the Japanese "the worst disaster and largest capitulation in British history" Churchills physician Lord Moran wrote The fall of Singapore on February 15 stupefied the Prime Minister. How came 100,000 men (half of them of our own race) to hold up their hands to inferior numbers of Japanese? Though his mind had been gradually prepared for its fall, the surrender of the fortress stunned him. He felt it was a disgrace. It left a scar on his mind. One evening, months later, when he was sitting in his bathroom enveloped in a towel, he stopped drying himself and gloomily surveyed the floor: 'I cannot get over Singapore', he said sadly ย With the fall of singapore came another atrocity, the Sook Ching massacre. After February 18th, the Japanese military began mass killings of what they deemed undesirables, mostly ethnic Chinese. It was overseen by the Kempeitai and did not stop in Singapore, but spread to Malaya. It seems the aim of the purge was to intimidate the Chinese community from performing any resistance. According to postwar testimony taken from a war correspondent embedded with the 25th army, Colonel Hishakari Takafumi, he stated an order went out to kill 50,000 Chinese, of which 20 percent of the total was issued by senior officials on Yamashita's operations staff, most likely Tsuji. It is certain at the behest of Tsuji the orders were extended to Malay. The death toll is a tricky one, the Japanese went on the record to admit to 6000 murders, the Singaporean Chinese community and the Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew allege 70,000-100,000. Historians analyzing the scale of discovered mass graves after some decades think around 25,000-50,000. How much Yamashita knew of the massacre is debatable, the orders came from his office after all, but it seems Tsuji had orchestrated it. Many of Japan's generals wanted Yamashita to be appointed war minister, a move that obviously threatened then Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, who feared his rival. Tojo retaliated, ordering Japan's new war hero back to Manchuria. On the surface, the assignment appeared worthy as Yamashita would serve as the first line of defense against a possible Soviet invasion. But since the two nations had signed a neutrality pact in April 1941, and Soviets were bogged down fighting the Germans, immediate war appeared unlikely. In reality, Tojo had parked Yamashita on the war's sidelines. Tojo went even further, he barred Yamashita any leave in Tokyo, preventing him from visiting his wife as well as from delivering a speech he had written for the emperor. No worries though, an aide of Yamashita's sent him three geishas. Allegedly he said this โI know they want to please me with these girls. But send them backโand don't forget to tip them.โ The Tiger of Malaya would maintain a low profile in Manchuria where he received a promotion to full General. As months fell to years Yamashita sat on the sidelines helpless to aid the Japanese forces. His exile would come to an end in 1944 when Tojo was outed and the Tiger was required to try and save the Philippines from General Douglas MacArthur.
