OH yes, secretly some questioned what was going on but didn't dare to speak out. We have trouble with that sometimes. Simply because we don't understand a total control system. None of us have ever live anywhere that if you disagreed with your betters openly could see you and your family severely punished or executed.
Ever wonder why we were able to read the Japanese messages? Sure through code breaking. But with code anytime the slightest chance that it's comprised you change the code. And yea, they did change codes but not nearly as often as they should have. Question is why? Pretty simple really. They were not stupid. But when one admitted a mistake or failure they were literally ready to commit suicide to regain their honor. So some Japanese office, rather senior said here is a code system and the non Japanese, because we the Japanese are superior, will never be able to break it. It's too difficult for them.
Now knowing that the Japanese as a people are anything but stupid, and anyone who knows anything about codes, knows that eventually any code can be broken. I'm unable to prove it but I'm willing to bet that some junior officers who themselves were code breakers in the Japanese military were sure the codes were broken but because a superior said it couldn't happen they could not argue. There was no one to go to and report on it. And unless the senior officer was willing to admit they were wrong? Well stuff like that didn't happen.
By the same token many still thought they were still winning. Just like in Nazi Germany, a lot of the people and military, especially the lower ranks, thought that Hitler had something up hi sleeve that would save them at the last minute and make them masters of the world. It's called propaganda and it can be very effective though withholding information and telling the people what they want to hear. Our politicians and the parties do it all the time and the faithful soak it up like a sponge.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
