When people think of the Japanese they always jump to the Carriers, the Yamato and the Zero Fighters but they don't think of their Army, it was huge! They started off with 1,700,000 million troops in 51 divisions plus a Marine Corps (Incl. Paras) in the IJN. By the end of the War they had 5.5 million men in the Army.
