Talk:Bonner Fellers

message: Do we really want the reference from "The Yamato Dynasty" by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave to stand?  That book has been soundly panned and frequently debunked as a "conspiracy theorist" book and not particularly accurate.

message: The Wikipedia article on Fuminaro Konoe, the prime-minister of Japan preceding Tojo, reports the following about Bonner Fellers:
"After the beginning of the American occupation, Konoe served in the cabinet of Prince Naruhiko Higashikuni, the first post-war government. ...[he] refused to collaborate with Bonner Fellers in "Operation Blacklist" to exonerate Hirohito and the imperial family of criminal responsibility..."
This 'report' indicates Fellers was involved with a matter which obviously requires a report on his website, and this I have done in order to clarify what OPERATION BLACKLIST might be.   If you know, please address this question on both the Fellers and Konoe websites.75.6.228.6 (talk) 22:42, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

message: "it was not until the British overran a German intelligence gathering unit in the First Battle of El Alamein 
in July 1942 that the source of the leak was identified"
If, as I suspect, you mean the capture of field intercept unit 621 at the first battle of El-Alemain during the assault on the tel el Eisa salient, this was captured by the Australian 9th Div not the British.

message: His cousin was married to a Japanese diplomat.  This is an important connection to be aware of.  He was one of the very few Americans on General MacArthur's staff with a direct family connection to the Japanese.  (The only other one I am aware of was William Sebald, With MacArthur in Japan.)Starhistory22 (talk) 08:18, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Interestingly enough, this movie depicts Fellers as having a bronze star, purple heart, and army commendation medal (top row). At least they're in the right order. The real Fellers didn't receive any of these three. If this article ends up including references to his portrayal in the movie, we might want to mention it. Otherwise, it's pretty trivial.
