Product explanation ■ At around 9 : 50 am in 1942, the Japanese Navy destroyer "Lei" encountered a scene in which 400 crew members of the British heavy cruiser "エクゼター" and the British destroyer "communion" were drifting and were sunk in the Battle of Surabaya the previous day.
Lieutenant Colonel Kudo, the captain of "Lei," sent a telegram to the Third Fleet Command, and in order to rescue the British Navy officers and soldiers who were drifting, 422 crew members were pulled up onto the ship.
This historical fact was not disclosed by the Japanese Navy in consideration of the public sentiment caused by the anti-British and US media reports, and the rescued crew members were not treated as prisoners of war. After the rescue, they were delivered to a neutral ship.
This fact was revealed by British Navy officers and soldiers who were rescued after the war.
The parts in the collar area indicate etched parts.
The components consist of a tent at the bow, a handrail, a special toilet, and a rope stretched around the rear third main gun.
This product is based on "Rescue Enemy Soldiers" (published by Soshisha) written by Mr. Keisuke Takanosuke, with the permission of the author.
