Japanese ranks
From Victory In Europe
Japanese ranks are all ranks used by Japanese divisions in ViE, such as the KK-N or KK-A.
[edit]
ViE#7
The first sets of Japanese ranks appeared in ViE#7: Two slightly different rank types were used by the two different divisions: Japanese Airforce ranks were used by the Kamikaze Airforce and Japanese Navy ranks were used by the Kamikaze Navy.
