【4K】Former Hitachi Aircraft Tachikawa Factory Transformer Substation | Japan WW2 Memorial GoPro POV
#Japan #WW2 #GoPro
The Former Hitachi Aircraft Tachikawa Factory Transformer Substation (旧日立航空機立川工場変電所, kyuhitachikoukuukitachikawakoujyouhendensho) is a building in Higashiyamato, Tokyo. Damaged in US air raids during World War II, it is maintained as a war memorial.
The building served as a transformer substation for the Hitachi Aircraft Company factory located in Tachikawa. Built in 1938, it was attacked repeatedly during the latter part of World War II. On February 17 it was attacked by US Navy F6F Hellcat fighters and other aircraft, and on April 19 by US Army Air Force P-51 Mustang aircraft. On April 29 B-29 bombing raids destroyed local factories and slightly damaged the substation.
In total, about 110 people died and more than 100 people were injured.
After the war it operated until 1993. On October 1, 1995 it was designated as a cultural asset and is now located in a public park. The damage done to the building was never repaired.
The beautiful flower beds and peaceful park setting in contrast to the bullet ridden monochrome building is quite striking. It serves not only as a stark reminder of the destruction caused by the raids but also as a testament to the stoic resilience of the Japanese people.
