Thank you! I am glad you liked it and that it was clear and easy to understand. I appreciate the compliment.

I too agree. Nicely done. Also I liked your intro about the strategic situation in the japanese perspectiv. Often seen as a cowardly sneak attack this was really sound military planning.

I agree, absolutely brilliant video! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I have however only 1 VERY small objection, and that is the referral to the United States as "America". While Americans themselves refer to their nation as such, it is a bit of a misnomer. For the historical accuracy of this video, the country should be referred to as the "United States", because America (outside the USA) is still considered as both North and South America. For example, Canadians refer to America as all North America, so on and so forth. Argentinians have a similar view on the word. But anyway, no biggie, great job!

SLR107FR31 unfortunately they don't talk about the Japanese Plane that landed during the attack.

it was a HOAX...never happened! the ships that 'sunk' were old rust-buckets destroyed by under-water charges...

However he failed to calculate the hit rate correct at 8:50: 19 torpedo hits out of 36 launched make 52%, not 48% said. Not critical, but a mistake though.

@@leopold3146 But that error is inconsequential compared to what Stout Lager talks about. You might also note that this problem was pointed out to him when the video was published three years ago, as mentioned in the description. Which makes me wonder if you even had noticed that error had it not been pointed out to you in the video description.

Sad to hear, when I went to school this was taught in detail.

@@Bitchslapper316 Because you were actually listening. He wasn't; but he blames it on the school. They didn't provide pretty animations to watch. You see comments like these all the time for that very reason. Schools do teach this stuff but most kids don't really care to remember any of it beyond the test. Personally I learned a great deal from school because I took classes I was interested in rather than what was easiest. Plus I've always been interested in history. People also seem to think it's school's fault for not covering everything in great detail, but how could they? They're underfunded, paid too little and kids wouldn't appreciate a more detailed look into political history and the nitty gritty of every detail. They're taught the basis and it's up to them to learn more from there, whether it be college (ew) or learning on their own. KZfaq is a great place for independent historians to fill in the blanks, but again those blanks are no fault of the schools themselves. With the limited time and resources given they do a surprisingly good job of teaching what they can. It's up to the students to listen and commit it to memory. A great example of this is just how terribly people seem to understand English. Schools cover English in great detail from the very beginning to graduation, and yet native speakers butcher it constantly. I doubt most people could even tell you what a semicolon is for. And yet these same people claim schools don't teach anything and are useless. Math is another big one people complain about. Those same people aren't going into fields of work that require much math beyond a calculator, so expectedly they don't remember a lot because they don't need to. But for those who do plan on working in a mathematics heavy occupation? Math classes are invaluable in achieving success.

@@deoglemnaco7025 wow you lived a very long time

sadly it's lies. Japan didn't attack Pearl Harbour. It had no motivation to attack Pearl Harbour. America was bound by the neutrality act to no intervene in foreign wars unless directly attacked. Japan attacked south to get the oil and raw materials in the British, Dutch and France colonies. It didn't need to attack Pearl Harbour for that. Britain controlled all of America's war news up to the Pearl Harbour attack and during the attack. Britain and America colluded in doing the Pearl Harbour attack to bring America into the war on Britain's side. That was Britain's goal. FDR wanted to enter the war as well, so he needed to find away around the neutrality act.

More than half of those lives lost were all aboard USS Arizona...

i was thinking the same thing. i watched the movie pearl harbor when i was 12 or 13, and had a certain idea of this attack. it’s not exactly what i had expected.

read "AT DAWN WE SLEPT-THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE PEARL HARBOR ATTACK" written by Gordon W. Prang. He interviewed many of the surviving Japanese and American participants in this attack and spent 37 years gathering the information to write this book. Much more detailed and very interesting!

I toured the Pearl Harbor National Memorial when I was in Hawaii. It's crazy how shallow the water is, and the Arizona just sits right under it. I remember oil on the surface and the Park Ranger told me it is still leeching oil and will for decades.

@@___meph___4547 you’re very right, I missed that. Something in the telling of this made it sound like Lt. Nagai with his 6 support planes, and Lt. Hirata and his troupe did the majority of the damage early, and my brain took over and discounted a huge number of planes also mentioned. 183 planes is indeed a lot. But I go back to my point that I have very poor understanding of scale when it comes to this, and the weight of individual action in reality seems so much more significant than the overall lens of chaos that films often use to dramatise these events

Totally agree; I had never realised the extent of the damage - though I knew it was terrible - but usually you only hear about the main ships that were sunk, not the others that were also destroyed or were damaged. Truly excellent video series!

@@MontemayorChannel Agreed - these videos are amazing. I loved you included some pictures and video where you had it and highlighted what we were seeing. Amazing work, I am sure it take awhile to make one of these, but subbed for life!

bro I agree with your username

@@MontemayorChannel The Pacific war in my most fav war of all time. It started with Pearl Harbor then the US declares WAR!

oh yes, destroy the supplies and NOW they're in a pickle.

The oil tanks as well as the shipyards were the planned target of an cancelled third wave. They would have taken them out with the first, but it was feared the smoke would interfere with the targeting of the following waves. The reasons to cancelling the third wave were the anti-aircraft fire and the fear to be caught by the US carriers while their planes were on the attack. The US carriers would have ripped the Japanese ones apart without their planes to defend them. Even 1 US carrier could have the Japanese carrier advantage. Consider, even if the Japanese carriers all escaped, if just their flight decks had been damaged too much, they would have had to ditch all the planes and the pilots. The planes were replaceable, the pilots weren't. Which once more the importance of intelligence and communication.

@@grayscribe1342 This! If the 3rd wave had happened Enterprise and Lexington would have attacked and sunk 2 or 3 Japanese carriers easily. The Japanese were able to declare a success by saving all of their ships. Also the Japanese did not have enough fuel to stay idle there for too long. If the 3rd wave had launched they would not have been able to sail westward for another 12-24 hours and they would have had to abandon almost all their destroyers. They literally did not have enough oil fuel to last much longer there. Enterprise in fact almost caught up to the Japanese and there would have been a likely Midway disaster for the Japanese if the third wave was launched. Also, the fuel tanks narrative is so fake and wrong. There was no Japanese submarine threat to the supply chain between Hawaii and California. There would have been new fuel tanks brought in within weeks and 200 weekly oil tanker ships would have come into Hawaii with no fuel problems.

That's not a very high bar to cross...

if you want a good movie about pearl harbor i reccomend "Tora! Tora! Tora!" from the 60s. excellent movie.

do people really think this was unbiased?? I am willing to bet this youtuber is american, they seemed to downplay the damage the whole time and focus on things like the duds or how they should have chose better targets, how it could have been more devastating. They also described 19 / 36 torpedo hits as a 48% hit rate, putting it under half when its actually 53% idk how he even got 48%. listen at 12:18 and tell me thats not major biased....

America obviously took the W in the end so whats the point of downplaying their L... - an unbiased canadian

@@solve4708 you are the one who is biased. The presentation was fine. It's perfectly acceptable to focus on Japanese Weapons Malfunctions. Watch a video on Midway and you will see the same thing talked about with American Torpedoes. That's not bias that is the facts. He made one math mistake in a very detailed video and you act like that is some big bias and like the 5 percent creates a big change in the tone. 48 and 53 percent most people see that and say "about half".

@@solve4708 You really can't tell he if is American based on the fact that he speaks English with an accent, making it unclear on where he's from. Not to mention how incredibly stupid it is to call yourself unbiased. Everyone is biased to some degree about everything, the best thing to do is to be as unbiased as you can. That first commenter didn't even say he's completely unbiased either, he said he hasn't seen anyone *more* unbiased about this event.

@@solve4708 Battles aren't like basketball games. You don't play to win 100-99, you play to win 100-0. Japan's failure to do more damage despite having achieved total surprise is definitely relevant to any study of this battle.

You were kidding, right? I've seen middle school presentations that had more detail and less errors. This gets a C-.

@CreedOfHeresy same, I kind of expected to see the plane and impact first which adds to the shock value but even watching it back it's still terrifying

Sailors

not hundreds, thousands

I think some part of the decision by the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor can be better understood when one studies the history of American brinkmanship against the Japanese.

poke the eagle, get the talons. both of them.

The US had already declared war on the Axis on 11 September 1941.

Are you lost? They wanted to cripple the Pacific Fleet to prevent them from interfering... You act as if America was going to sit out for the duration of the war. America already had the lend-lease act going on and politicians in America was finding every possible way to enter the war. Strategically for Japan, it would be best for them to strike first than to react once America decided to move against them.

actually the us first sank a Japanese submarine that had tried to sneak into pearl harbor, so they should have known that an attack from japan is coming

@Arnold Bosch Dude, that was literally the first thing he mentioned. Perhaps you should watch it again, and actually pay attention this time.

@S The fact the Japanese didn't invade Hawaii with troops was their worst mistake.

@@skippa7324 but they did man. The Japanese ships bypassed and launched airstrikes directly at Pearl. What could have prevented them from say, have 10.000 troops dissembark for an invasion?

@@skippa7324 I'll have a look; the long reply is actually appreciated.

@@skippa7324 how could the Japanese have won the war in your opinion? Or was it a doomed effort from the get go?

@@skippa7324 much much appreciated the reply. I know the industrial might of the USA (I am Greek) was (and still is) immense, but I would have thought that actually landing on Pearl H., using the resources of the island itself and forming a supply chain directly from Japan, that would be a whole different story. The american State would have been well supplied (with oil fields and perhaps even capturing?! american ships, even auxillary ones, and perhaps airplanes, while the USA would have to sail from S.Diego California all the way to Hawaii, a very very long and tiresome journey. And contrary to Rabaul, Hawaii could NOT be bypassed...

Thank you!

>- That the US already knew of the impending attack way before it happened, They knew an attack was coming but wasn't sure where. With holdings in the Philippines and other Southeast Asian islands, it's an easy assumption that Japan would be more likely to target those areas as Japan was going for the Dutch East Indies and British Malaysia. >- and in fact moved their `well aged` Pacific fleet to Hawaii, (holding back their newer ships) to bait the Japanese in. Incorrect. While the U.S. did take some ships out of the Pacific fleet in favor of the Atlantic (Germany would be the bigger focus of the two), the main naval doctrine at the time was still battleship heavy. If you want to bring up the carriers being out of place it was because they were sending aircraft to the outlying regions. >- The top brass also ignored ALL radar reports on the day. Radar was incredibly new at the time and with under-qualified operators, the "brass" never got the information until it was too late. Besides, a better argument for incompetent brass should have been the moment the USS Ward attack on a midget submarine which would be a lot easier for anyone to comprehend moreso than new technology. >The US and their zionist controllers Well those zionist controllers didn't do a very good job seeing how the U.S. limited immigration of Jews escaping Europe and let in far fewer Jews per capita than many of the neutral European countries and fewer in absolute terms than Switzerland. What kind of zionist controller would just sit back and let significant members of their "own kind" get killed in droves? >for a sneaky way into the war with the FULL support of the American public, which were mainly of German and Italian decent. If that was the case, they should have created an atrocity in the European side rather than the Pacific because the only reason the U.S. became involved in the European theater was because Hitler decided to declare war on the U.S. So if these "Zionist controllers" wanted the U.S. to get into the war, they wouldn't have used Japan's attack as an excuse because it only encouraged the U.S. to fight Japan (which btw doesn't have many Jews so not like they're advancing their cause). This information is pretty much all brought up in the video (and the rest is high school level history) so I'm curious why you blatantly ignored all the reasons why an attack on Pearl Harbor wasn't seen as likely.

I have read that they thought the Radar signatures were from Friendly forces. So they didn't call it in to higher ups.

Not to mention the every one of FDR's economic policies toward the Japanese was designed to back them into an economic corner, which would force them to lash out at the US, at some time! FDR was encouraged in this by his Soviet-infiltrated State Dept. which wanted more far support for the Soviets, which the US entry into the war would bring!

ChakRaLight this video is specifically about the battle. Keep your world view to yourself

ChakRaLight this video isn’t about the causes and effects, it’s about the battle specifically. And raging about “Zionist controllers” makes you sound like either a high schooler or a fringe conspiracy theorist. It’s not some hidden unknown fact that the US wanted to go to war in 1941. Secondly get it straight, the US knew an attack was coming but not when or where. They were shocked that the Japanese attacked pear harbor, most thought the attack would be in the Philippines.

ChakRaLight I just rewatched it, he does briefly mention the broader picture, be regardless you are wrong about some things. The US didn’t deliberately ignore radar signals. They had just set up a new system but the two men monitoring it didn’t have a phone to relay messages. They actually had to go to a gas station a mile away to use one when they saw something. However since no one expected the attack, when they saw a blip they assumed it was US planes on a training mission

thank you man! the support over the last day with comments and likes has been an encouragement for me.

@tinwoods You're a jerk

Thank you!

May I ask what rank you hold? =)

this isnt japanese perspective its realistic review of attack.

The US knew that an attack was possible but never considered a carrier raid on Hawaii since it was a high risk operation with assets they can't quickly replace (carriers). The US moved the fleet to Hawaii in May of 40 a year and a half before the attack but it was a move designed to send a message to Japan. I don't know where the notion of them only moving their old ships came from but it's pretty much nonsense since they moved their fleet carriers out there and that's hardly sending your oldest and weakest ships. There was only one radar report that got discounted that day.

battleships were old ones the rest of ships were not.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:World_War_II_battleships_of_the_United_States since they moved their fleet to hawaii in 1940 only battleships they had ware ww1 era ones anyway.

The production values here are top gun.

I gasped at the same point, when I first saw this video nearly a year ago, but for a slightly different reason: My father, Carl Sanders, was on the USS Raleigh at Pearl Harbor on December 7. His version matches yours, but what took my breath away was to see, in context, a picture of the ship my own father was on at the time of this attack, from the perspective of a Japanese pilot. (I became a pilot in the Navy, before he told me his story, but happily was never put in the position of this pilot.) I have a hatch dog from a Japanese mini sub stripped for souvenirs by the sailors that he gave me the only time I ever got him to talk about his war experiences. Going from big picture graphics to tangible historic photo to existential family history revealed in an image was a life altering experience for me that has haunted me since the first time I got 5 minutes and 35 seconds into this video.

...

@TheBaconHunter i was quite comfortable commenting on the video I watched a year ago, so I'll politely decline your passive-aggresive suggestion that "you'll let me find something better as I apparently need the challenge. "
