The IJN Akagi aircraft carrier, the Imperial Navy's flagship, at sea. This was one of 4 carriers deployed at the battle of Midway by the Japanese Imperial Navy. It was destroyed and sunk on June 5th 1942 at 05:00. One can clearly see the wooden deck of the Akagi which was one of the main reasons why it went down very vast, the wooden deck caught fire rapidly and doomed the ship within minutes.
In the background one can see the Soryu and Hiryu carriers following the Akagi's lead.



The IJN Akagi aircraft carrier during training exercises in April of 1942. Here we can clearly see the Japanese Imperial Navy carrier concept. All Japanese carriers were converted battleships that had a flat wooden landing strip put on top of them.



The IJN Akagi aircraft carrier undertaking evasive maneuvers on June the 4th 1942. This photo was taken by a B-17 during a bombing run on the carrier some time between 08:00-08:30. If you look closely, you can see 3 Zeros lined up near the bridge.



The IJN Soryu aircraft carrier at sea somewhere in April of 1942. This carrier was also sunk, like the 3 other Japanese carriers, during the battle of Midway. It met it's demise on the 4th of June 1942 at 16:10. Again, we can clearly see the Japanese Imperial Navy's carrier design, a battleship that is converted to an aircraft carrier via the adding of a flat wooden landing strip on top of the original structure.

While we are at carriers.....



British aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal heavy listing after being hit by a torpedo from U-81 right under its island. The Arky Royal was famous for taking part in the hunt for the Battleship Bismarck. At the left you can see the destroyer "Legion" picking up some of the crew. Ark Royal sank due to this torpedo hit on 14th November 1941. From another angle:

Speaking of the Bismarck



The bow of the Bismarck at the bottom of the ocean. I find it to be a very eerie sight.



One of the Bismarck's turrets that is still with the ship after its turbulent descend to the bottom.



The swastika can still be seen on the ship. When you think of it, it just makes no sense that all those young men had to waste their lives for the ideals of one man.

Another interesting thing about the Bismarck, it's captain Ernst Lindemann was't very fond of the Nazis, let alone hitler. For a fact, something that is documented fairly well, he refused to greet Hitler with the Heil Hitler greet. Instead he used the normal military salute. On top of this, when seen together with Hitler during an inspection of the Bismarck, he seemed very cold and unsympathetic.



Here we see everyone using the Heil Hitler greeting, Captain Linderman refused. Just look at how he looks at Hitler, so cold and unsympathetic.

Another fun fact, Hitler respected him for it.

September 2nd WWII was finally ended with capitulation of Japan. USSR troops were fighting in Manchuria against Kwantung army during the final months of the war.

Plan of Manchurian strategic offensive operation.












Couple of IS-3 were send in Manchuria for tests, but they didn't arrived in time, so they didn't took action in WWII. However 52 tanks were represent at Berlin victory parade in September.
