Japanese Intelligence Methods by Military Intelligence Division
Book Description
Publication Date: August 18, 2013
It has been said with a reasonable element of truth that every Japanese citizen was either an agent or a potential agent of some part of the Japanese intelligence organization. Any Japanese individual could be called upon to engage in espionage, and no Jap was too unimportant to be used in an appropriate place in the intelligence system should circumstance so demand. With equal thoroughness, no item of fact was too insignificant to warrant consideration by the Japanese authorities. Yet the universal Japanese espionage was carefully channeled and brought under the control of a few main agencies of the government. But despite attention to detail, and the rigid control exercised over all potential intelligence sources, the Japanese government did not produce an outstanding intelligence organization. While the work of intelligence agencies and individuals in the field was often good, weaknesses among higher echelons in the past caused the Japanese to make some serious strategic blunders. Not unlike the late Nazi regime in Germany, the Japanese government expected all its branches to participate to varying degrees in the collection and exploitation of intelligence. In Japan, however, the major portion of this activity was conducted by five principal agencies—the Second Bureau of the Army General Staff, the Military Affairs Bureau of the War Ministry, the Third Division of the Naval General Staff, the Foreign Office, and the Greater East Asia Ministry.
