This 7th episode occupies the core of the secret history of the Tripartite Alliance of 10 episodes. Although our research institute is a world history research institute, we dared to choose this alliance as our first subject because the Japanese tend to be easily swayed by moods, easily swayed by fait accompli, and inflexible personnel affairs of lifelong employment and seniority system. Looking at the minutes of meetings held by Japanese leaders around this time, everything was discussed on the premise that Germany would win. In Germany, all information is controlled by the Ministry of Propaganda and the Nazi Party, and if you only look at the official announcements, you will be sending back to your home country something that is completely different from the facts. German civil servants were severely restricted from socializing with foreigners, and anyone who went out even briefly was subject to surveillance. This person was thoroughly entertained, especially the Japanese military personnel, who were the targets of Dernberg, the tallest person who was good at entertaining and became the protocol or diplomatic ceremonies chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It seems that the people involved in the army are much more popular than those in the navy, which may have something to do with this. There have been quite a few cases where people who weren't particularly fond of Germany became completely fond of Germany after coming to Germany. As to the books or writings about the Tripartite Alliance of Japan, Germany, and Italy, the word "empty" stands out in the title of the book, such as something of fiction, vanity, emptiness. At the Tokyo Trials after the war, Yosuke Matsuoka, Hiroshi Oshima, and Toshio Shiratori, who were war criminals related to the Tripartite Alliance of Japan, Germany, and Italy, were treated differently from other war criminals. They became lambs for sacrifices and Kaltenbrunner who was No.2 in the SS at the Nuerunberg Trials . Are these three the only villains? Looking at this alliance, it seems that the word "on the same floor different dream" would be appropriate. Each of the three countries intended to use and abuse the other two countries without permission, but they are also being used and abused. Shigeru Yoshida, who was the ambassador to the UK just before the war and would become prime minister after the war, would never listen to the germanophile claims of colleagues around him, to whom he said ,“Such a story should be done at cheap drinking places for university students “. Ambassador to Germany Hiroshi Oshima, who came from Berlin to persuade him into Germanophile , seemed depressed after losing the dispute with Yoshida for two hours in Japanese embassy in London . There were other people, such as Mitsumasa Yonai and Isoroku Yamamoto of the Navy, and Shigenori Togo of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who were not influenced by moods and festivals of the times, but they were too few among the Japanese. Episode 7 deals with Hiroshi Oshima taking responsibility for not predicting the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact and returning home, to the 2600th anniversary of the Imperial Era in 1940, which coincided with the signing ceremony of the Tripartite Alliance between Japan, Germany and Italy.
