=Tojo's toys **FAIL**=

One of the most daring raids of World War 2 was from the Japanese as their strange creation of mini submarines to attack Sydney harbour. The raids took place in May 1942. Somehow, the midget submarines had taken major damage and had failed to attack. They subs were raised out of the water and were sent on a tour around Australia including Geelong. Large crowd came all round to see “Tojo’s toys”. “The midgets were packed with costly and complicated gear, which was installed only for the for the purpose of giving the crew more than a sporting chance of returning to the base”. “Nor were the crew radical fanatics”. “Certainly brave men they are, but no braver than our divers and the navy men who had to bring the submarines up from the surface”. “The submarines were loaded with high explosive tubes”.
