At some point during the middle of June, 1945, Japanese Premiere Kantarō Suzuki (1868 – 1948) took to the airwaves to announce the creation of the Kamikaze program:
“Day and night the Japanese radio exhorted the people to constitute themselves a special-attack (suicide) corps 100.000.000 strong… The government made plans to draft men from 15 to 60 and women 17 to 40 into the Civilian Volunteer Corps, which will serve as a suicidal home guard.”
