トラ・トラ・トラ means lightning attack in Japanese

Sunday night movie from my war movie collection.
Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970)
The word Tora means Tiger in Japanese. 
But in this case the two-syllable word in the title of the movie, 
is a Japanese code word トラ・トラ・トラ
which means "lightning attack"


It's a true story of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, USA 
on Sunday December 7th, 1941 
Read more about the movie on IMDb
