Kamikaze Shinpū

(meets or Polonized form kamikaze) is a Japanese suicide military formation in World War II. Name 神 éŁ Ž (kamikaze kamukaze in sinojapoĹ„skim reading shinpĹ«), or Divin e Wind ( stones -god, divine, kaze - wind), refers to a powerfu l typhoon, which in 1281 destroyed the Mongol fleet preparing to attack Japan. The Japanese saw this as evidence of care of the gods and called it a typhoon Divine Wind . The correct pronunciation of the name of the formation was just shinpĹ« , but during the war, Americans of Japanese origin promoted the alternative way to read the signs by which the name was written as a kamikaze [1].
