Senda Sadatoshi was a rear admiral in
command of 28
Special Base Force in May 1944. Although his headquarters was at Manokwari, he was on an inspection tour of Biak
when the Allies invaded the island on 27 May. His radio unit lost several code books
while moving his headquarters, and these were recovered by the Allies,
to the
great benefit of Allied intelligence. Senda himself did not survive the battle, being officially declared dead on 25 December 1944.
