I'm glad you're taking the time to further educate yourself. It's crazy how much history class leaves out.

I really appreciate that this video doesn't look at the numbers from any certain country's POV, but just lays them out as facts and data to be taken in as they are without being skewed by bias. It was heart-breaking, but very necessary, because remembering these losses is what keeps us from repeating these mistakes (hopefully).

My Grandpa was in the Navy during WW2 he never really said much about it until he was going through Alzheimer’s.. he basically was reliving what he went through and it was so heartbreaking ..RIP Grandpa ❤️

History is all about learning and not repeating. Yes you can have feeling about the fact of it, but you got to remember feeling do not change the past just influences the future. So being negative about something that can not be changed is victim hood. To be a survivor you most learn from the mistakes of others.

U.S. NAVY VETERAN HERE, great channel sir !! In Texas.

Most education systems in the world are “nationalistic” meaning that when it comes to your history classes, the majority of it relates to your own country

War is a death machine. And because of how apparent that is since WWII, everyone is too scared to start another one. Especially now that technology has reached the point where there's no distinction between military and civilian death. America's "war" in Afghanistan has been more guerilla war rather than formal war. If we start a war in the near future, it's going to be a question of which country extinguishes the other first. The war may only last a day. For how war itself has changed, this is a good video to watch or react to: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7mEl7iizK_IqZ8.html

D-day was a seaborne invasion of Nazi occupied France there were 5 allied beaches 4,414 killed and 10,000 casualties suffered by the allies On June 6 1944

Very Interesting! Keep going with that work Timothy and stay safe☘️! Btw im Shqiptar🇦🇱

I sure hope this latest mess doesn’t steer us back down this road. It’s never worth it.

One of the scariest things about this is that the Soviets lost so many men in the war that every few generations the Russian population plummets because there's just a whole generation that never had kids, and the kids they would have had never had kids and so on.

Thank you for sharing your reflections and your faith.

That burp was so unexpected 😂 What made it even more hilarious was that an ad immediately played, slightly cutting it off. This is a serious video, which is why I found this inappropriate burp to be so dang hilarious.

The video was depressing, but the ending made me smile. God bless you, never apologize for sharing our Lord when a perfect opportunity arises! 🙏 WWII as a whole is very heavy. It always saddens me when I look into it. I'm currently reading an eyewitness account book from a Jewish man who was forced to work in an Auschwitz crematorium. It's very heavy. While there are MANY other atrocities in history that showcase the lengths people will go to when they hate others (or feel superior to them), WWII is the best example of this because it's so well documented and even filmed. The Nazi concentration camps and Soviet gulags, and all the torture and experimentation that happened within them, I'd say was indeed one of the worse things people have done to others. Period. And we have videos of it! I saw one graphic video that showed the Nazis throwing dead Jewish people into a mass grave. Tossing them in like trash bags by the 1000s. It's sick what people are capable of doing to each other. And some people out here try to believe that humans are capable of progressing to a utopia-like state on their own. The Nazis thought killing minorities was leading to an "Aryan" utopia, and that experimenting on them was scientific "progress" to aid in it. Humans like to think they know best for humanity, but they always end up tearing it apart (especially when they destroy things they don't think fit into their idea of a Utopia). Only God knows what we need. He sees all, knows all, and holds all together. Only He can cleanse the sin that leads to these actions. The wages of sin is death and Jesus paid our fine with His own death! Then He defeated death by raising again! What He did looks even better and baffling the more you look at what people are like. We did things like WWII and He still died to give those of us who accept Him hope! That's true love.

I enjoy all that you share. God Bless

I'm third generation from grandparents who fled from Poland in world war II to the U.S. No country is clean everyone has made mistakes but like the end of the documentary we should enjoy the connections we have with the countries now and keep and enjoy this piece that we have.

21:56 That's really explains position of Japan to Kuril islands. This islands became part of Russia as a result of WWII. If you don't learn about this war, you don't know it's consequenses. Hm..

What an impactful video. Really shows the devastation through a worldwide perspective. Makes me think seriously about pacifism. This is why the mantra of “never forget“ is so important. And is why it is so upsetting when extremist groups/people go into Holocaust denial. Holocaust denial is particularly difficult for me. I am of part Jewish background, and I have relatives who died in Auschwitz. On the other side of my family, my grandfather was a Colonel in the US Air Force, and he lost so so many friends, He carried the horrors of war with him until he died at the age of 80. As war prone as our species is, I do think a huge amount of war has been avoided, because we are still grappling with the horrors of World War II. Nobody wants to repeat that. Big powers find other ways to “ fight” each other... the Cold War, fighting each other through a third, usually poor, country. ( hello Vietnam War... The alternative to this was a straight out war between the USSR and the USA- Though these two countries certainly dragged most of the world into their power struggle for decades.. It was still probably better than a full out direct war) And in more modern terms, we get these social media manipulations of Russia and others, economic warfare, social warfare etc. so we find other ways to fight each other, but they aren’t as likely to bring these huge casualties. Sometimes I do wonder, if we had to go through World War II, to stop these high casualty wars. It is still miles from perfect, but again it is so important that we “never forget”

Can you give sources they use in the Japanese teachings? I've never seen the Japanese perspective

Hey tim another great video as always! You might be interested in checking out the video "Hardcore History Blueprint For Armageddon with graphics" Its a teaser for the Hardcore History podcast by Dan Carlin (an american researcher & historian). The idea in the teaser is the question "Who was the most influential person of the past 100 years?"

It’s true with most countries that you only hear the deaths of your country, here in the us we did talk about other countries deaths but not as much as we did with our own

Посмотрите документальный фильм Неизвестная война и увидите , что там было он на английском , снят США в СССР и много кинохроники , что сняли во время войны . Всем добра и мира на Земле !

As another person who grew up in Japan, I think you probably had a terrible teacher who didn't teach you such facts, because in my elementary and middle school the textbooks explained about the calamities that befell the South-East and East Asians(like the Mamila massacre, Romusha, Nanjing), and my class watched videos about Japanese aggression and victims in every country in school. My Polish girlfriend says that there are many politicians in both Germany and Japan who try to hide the war, but since both countries have officially apologised, it is sad and discussing to see that some people betray this in the area of passing it on to our children. I hope there will be no more such teachers...

May GOD Bless you and your family my Brother. From your friends in America 🇯🇵 🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏

OMG. If you haven't seen "The Prince of Egypt" yet, you should totally make a reaction video of it! It's about The Exodus and it's wonderfully done

This is one of the best video's on WWII that should be near required info for everyone. However, the one criticism I have of it, is that like many other western prouctions the asian theatre generally, and Japan's crimes in the occupied countries are covered too briefly compared to the in depth coverage of the European front

Never ever apologize for your ancestors your here and now. Share the Lord brother!!! I'm independent Baptist.

4:27 yes in ww2 america did a full invasion of europe which is the largest invasion in history with over 2 million troops.

"For the countless souls who died, their voices fill this night, sing with me never again" "They are not lost, you see, their truth will live in me, believe me never again!" -David Draiman, "Disturbed" lead singer, song "Never Again"

Everyone should really see this. It brings perspective. This was under a century ago that's insane

It's crazy to think how far we've come

What are your views on shintoism? Does your mother follow Shinto rituals? Japanese mythology is incredibly fascinating, I've always loved everything Japanese. There is something very calming about Japan. I hope you're proud of your Japanese heritage.

6:30 Those ruins are probably thanks to NATO bombardment of Yugoslavia, not the WW2. Thanks for your sincere reaction and recognition of the fallen heroes. Take care.

I feel compelled to point out something very significant regarding the 2 nuclear attacks on the Japanese. What isn't commonly told is that if those bombs were not dropped, it was estimated another 2 MILLION would have died as the United States was going to invade Japan. This would have far exceeded the lives lost with the 2 nuclear bomb being dropped. It's just something to think about, a bit of perspective.

I'm pretty happy that Cross you wear isn't just decoration like some people think of It but true symbol. May God bless you, your family and all souls of dead in WWII.

Just so so devastating to see the number of deaths & for what?? Power & money😔🙏🏻

It is easy to look at these people and call them monsters. Its far harder to look at them and remember that they where people just like you and me. Harder still to realize that under the wrong circomstances we can become as monsterous as they. If we forget this, if we fall into the trap of villifing these people as somehow other we deprive ourselves of one of the tools we can use to keep ourselves the deacent human beings most of us are and. Self introspection can help us recognize the flaws in ourselves that led them down to what they became.

Great reaction, I highly recommend reacting to the youtube channel "Oversimplified" they have great episodes like World war 2, cold war, napoleonic wars ect...

I thought I knew a bit about WW II, but this shocks me every time I watch it.

I highly recommend Scott Horton's Enough Already playlist. It's about the US's terrorism wars, how they connect to each other and what really happened. The book is a must read.

It was so much on over countries the people that died I hope it never happens again

WTH? No mention of the invasion and illegal annexation of the Crimea‽

Two things 1. I wish the structures like der flankum were talked about more 2. These were just the people that died, now.imagine adding pets and other creatures and environments into the mix

The most bloodiest war in history was WW2 and its not even 100yrs, that’s crazy when you think and some people who suffered from the war are alive!

Hi Tim, you never need to apologize for speaking your beliefs.

My Grandfather served during the landings in Normandy at Pegasus Bridge with the Paratroopers of the British Army. He only told us about the jump and that was it, he never said what happened during the fight, most likely he saw friends die during the battle and receive news of friends being killed. He was also supposed to fight in Burma once the Nazis surrendered but when he was getting ready to board the boat news got out about the bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. also the reasons why Russia lost so many was rather sick, they sent lesser trained soldiers to head first into battle to cover and protect the more trained soldiers and if they turned back or stop they would be shot by their own.

"What if it happens?" Don't let it happen.

My heritage includes Serbian and German ancestry. People on the Serbian side died due to the Croatians, although they committed horrendous acts they are often forgotten about as evident through this video, and also at the hands of the Nazis. One family member from the German side lived in Dresden and experienced the allied bombings, which reduced everything to rubble. I pray that a war like this never happens like this again.

Red or listen to Carl Jung’s the red book, journals from 1915-1930 that will give you sense of what war is perceived after, the 100 years of peace.

I agree very much with the notion that each generation MUST be taught the wrong-doings, mistakes and wars their nation has committed in the past. So that everyone knows about what has been done - and at the very least apologize, and if possible at least try to make amends for it. But the absolutely crucial thing is that we can understand where other nations are 'coming from', whom might perhaps not always have a good 'picture' of our nation....that's literally the ONLY way we can learn - and hopefully also learn not to repeat the very same mistakes over and over again. But I feel that all too many nations fail to do this - and thus can never understand other nation's feelings towards us: which - BOOM - may very well result in another war! (Simply because we didn't know our history and thus tend to appear as arrogant!). As you mentioned too: Nazi-Germany committed many horrific war-crimes as well as many other atrocities - still, Germany is the only country (at least that I know of) that are taught all of this in school from a rather young age. And have had many of their top-politicians publicly recognize, apologize and trying to make amends for it! Which I believe is, at least one major reason as to why Germany have not 'only' been able to get fully 'accepted' into the 'world-community', but basically have been able to successfully project a new, unthreatening and positive image! Sure - recognizing, apologizing and trying to make amends for truly horrific crimes are probably not enough for making the other party having positive feeling for you. But are often at least 'enough' to neutralize any strong feelings of hatred and/or vindictiveness that could otherwise easily lead to a new conflict. So I feel it is very important - if not even crucial - to openly recognize and apologize for your nation's (for ex.) eventual wrong-doings! (Just as an ex.: Germany and France used to have a national rivalry that during several centuries made them go to war with each-other rather regularly - which subsequently, at least partly resulted in both World-Wars! A rivalry that was fueled by deliberate acts of 'different warcrimes', annexation of territories as well as other acts that were deliberately meant to bring shame to the other nation...A cycle which was fortunately stopped with the WWII - at least to a large extent by Germany collectively apologizing and trying their best to make amends. Today Germany and France are almost inseparable entities that together makes up the core of the EU. Which actually was the exact, intended reason for 'creating' EU in the first place.). Unfortunately, we seem to have another 'downward spiral' at our hands since some countries feel hostility towards Japan, although not exclusively so. Who feel they were 'raped' and aggressively attacked - but probably even more importantly have had their regimes nurturing in them a feeling of having been unjustly and 'arrogantly treated'. A feeling that still seem to linger on, not so much based on the actual, historical invasion and perpetrated war-crimes, although that of course play a role. But to a large extent because of the fact that they seem to feel that most Japanese 'seem to act like they don't even know about it'....Which is, of course all too often the case. Sadly. (I guess you realize that we're really, primarily talking about China here? Which is also a country that for a long time has been led by an autocratic, ultra-nationalistic regime - facts which historically have all too often shown to be a 'catastrophic' factor when it comes to both starting wars, and its ability to do so. Their regime has, for a really long time played heavily on the sense of "victimization" and resulting humiliation [such as their "Century of Humiliation", which hardly ever fails to be mentioned] which in turn serves to stir up strong nationalistic feelings of 'hurt pride', injustice and revenge. Which I believe hardly any Asian country situated at the Sea of Japan, South China Sea and/or the Indian Ocean have failed to notice..? Actually China's assertive aggressions are known, and to a certain degree felt around the world.) Anyway, the point I wanted to get through is that even though it is now probably too late, since China essentially have ruled its citizens for generations, stirring up unabashed nationalism, 'shared, nationalist feelings' of hurt pride and a lust for vengeance - perhaps China's government wouldn't have been so successful in accomplishing this, if the countries involved had apologized [for their respective role]? Of course, there's no way of knowing that for sure, and all we can do now is basically keep our fingers crossed - and hope for the best. But I have to admit I really don't feel too positive about it though! And you never know - a recognition and apology can go a long way! We really need to learn to put our pride and shame aside - since really it isn't about anything else than acknowledging our history, and the bad things that our forefathers may have committed (as well honoring the good of course). (Since, as you said as well - those were different times with different values, where most of 'us' lived under a more or less autocratic regime and people thus had a very different mentality back then [in many cases - hopefully so ;-) ]. And even IF it 'turns out' that our great grandfathers might have acted in a way that we today find deplorable or committed this or that act which we today regard as a crime: To them it was most probably regarded entirely different - they might have considered it be an 'honor', a duty or perhaps didn't even have choice in the matter!? Regardless - we are not them! We mustn't take it so personally that we try to hide the fact! There is no way of hiding well-recorded historical facts anyway. So, we must dare take responsibility - in the only way we can: recognize that 'it' happened!)

6:30 that seems like a misunderstanding. Wasnt Yugoslavia part of an ethnic conflict post WW2 before NATO started bombing and they surrendered? I think this might have been a misunderstanding

I'm surprised on all you young people from around the world have no idea of real history. I'm a fraid history will repeat if these things are not known. I'm so glad some are now learning

Timothy , you’re such a charitable . empathetic young man . May God continue to bless and keep you. 🙏🌹 . Remember to stay close to Jesus and do not be afraid. Prayers continue for peace in Ukraine and in the whole world ❤️

My neighbors kids know basics of WW2 and they are not even 16, when I say basics I do not mean numbers but stuff like who attacked who, who invaded and why.... I am 40 year old.... wtf is thought on history class now in the West......

They are only numbers until we truly understand that we are really dealing with the lost lives of human beings.

God bless you!

German losses are greatly underestimated. This is clearly seen in the Volkssturm, when in 1945 old men and children were taken into the militia, because many men died.

20:15 thank you for sharing. You made me think of this passage from the Book of Mormon that my religion views as companion scripture to the Bible: Mosiah chapter 3 verse 19 "For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father."

Over 28000 cities and towns were destroyed as well

I look at this way Tim, even if you aren't Christian, as long as you believe in something greater than yourself you'll be ok. Believing in something you have to answer to in the end keeps you on the straight and narrow.

I recommend you watch The insane American plan to invade Japan in 1945 by RealLifeLore. Great reaction! I love watching your reactions and have been binging as of late. No need to apologize or feel sorry. Though we should never forget the past, we should always strive to move forward and learn from it. God bless you from Texas!

Kinda weird that he didn’t even mention Norway since germany occupied it during ww2 but he did mention Denmark. It’s strange because Norway lost bigger numbers, put up a bigger fight and Denmark was invaded because they were going to secure iron supply from Sweden which went trough Norway

React to Potential History's video called Japans last hail mary

Timothy, I appreciate your heart and your willingness to share your faith in Christ. I agree with your assessment! Sin = death.

This is very heartbreaking. What is scary is China and how provoking they are in current times, they seem very willing to top all these numbers taunting the US and Allies currently.

Good

"The irretrievable losses of the troops and forces of the army and navy amounted to almost 12 million servicemen. 4.5 million people went missing and were captured, 1.8 million returned home from captivity. 5.3 million people were forcibly taken to work from the occupied Soviet territories, 2.2 million of them died." "The total irretrievable human losses of the country - military personnel and civilians - amounted to 26.6 million people."

Like the end of the video, look for the numbers of people who didn't die. 😊 Bless you brother in Christ!

Thanks for sharing the truth of the horrific nature of the Second World War. Really appreciate your courage to share your Christian faith. Following the teachings of Jesus is our only hope. I came up during the height of the “Cold War “ between the Soviet Union and the United States and will never forget how frightened I was of a nuclear war between my country (the USA) and the Soviet Union. I can’t even begin to imagine the horrors people suffered due to World War II. Thanks again for sharing this video and God Bless.

This is crazy! In school in America, we always just learned about how many people were lost on the U.S. side. I can't believe I never knew how much life was lost in the Soviet Union. Such a tragic war with so many innocent deaths.

I just reminded my son not to go to Japan only knowing phrases from WWII movies. Phrases like te wo atero, korosanai yo.

"There is no justice among men" -The First World War (1914-1918)

Look how many people have been killed in the name of various gods throughout history. It was not the Bible but the realization that blind obedience to "gods" or men always ends in catastrophes that brought us to a more enlightened world.

Who is Cheesebus?

The biggest part of the 'sin' you talk about in not even the wars themselves. Because you know, extreme situations tend to make apparent both the worst and the best in people. There are many stories, like how the british and the german fraternized for christmas 1914. You must have heard about it. Germans put christmas trees out of their trenches, then Germans and englishs took white flags and went to meet each other in the No man"s land. Holding hands, drinking and singing christmas songs together. It is said that a few football matches even occured in the no man's land. No, the worst part of this 'sin' you talk about, is how many people amongst our leaders, and maybe many of us if we were in their shoes, try to see how to take advantage of every last corpse before it has time to get cold. Why Japan can't tell the numbers? Because Japan has been trying to rewrite its History to its advantage all this time, which is why they won't say anything about Nankin or any other slaughter. We all do that or are under the temptation to do it to some degree. And this capability of being so petty when faced with tens of millions of dead... Here lies the true, irredeemable 'sin'. Although i talk like that, i am actually fiercely anti religions. But i can share how you feel, even though i wouldn't use the word 'god' to express it. Hi from France.

This video is very hard to watch. may our future and our children uphold the mindsets we live with today, that war is evil and every human life is precious.

too bad they didn't show the civilians were killed by their own countries, mao for example killed 45million in his "great leap forward", easily making it the the largest mass murder recorded. Stalin also killed some tens of millions.

Still have papers real once That my great grandfather had to work for the German work afford 😊

"The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic." - Josef Stalin

War is hell

Das is nichted gut but it happens I wish didn't.

We all need Jesus! Yes my brother in Christ I agree with everything you said..Never apologize 🙏 praying every day for this world..know 🙏 works. Thanks for everything you are a blessing! We need Jesus 💛💙

Amazing what man can do to other men, we are absolutely the most violent of all the animals on the planet. Small deception in the video though, the US was not targeting civilians with the atomic bombs, they we actually trying to destroy key industrial facilities, which turned out to be mostly non operational at that point in the war. People have argued that those bombs actually saved more lives than the deaths they had caused. The Japanese were very skilled at defensive fighting, and the powers that be were scared of an actual land invasion of mainland Japan. The death toll would certainly have been much higher on both sides had that taken place.

You need to watch "Band of Brothers". It is based on the real soldiers of "E" or Easy company. It is a 10 part series.

Yes! Brother in Christ! Christ knew these wars would happen and the millions of people would die and come home to his kingdom!

Agreed and unfortunately most videos or opinions tend to have a more nationalistic biases such as say the Americans who yes were attacked at Pearl Harbor, yes the Japanese did commit terrible human experiments, however the Americans aren’t entirely exolved from any blame, since the Americans themselves committed many war crimes such as shooting prisoners, targeting civilian populations along with mass genocide and even concentration camps for native Italian Americans or Germans believing that they were affiliated with the Italian and German governments, even we the British aren’t clean from a few war crimes such as spandaou prison, heavy targeting of Berlin, we shot over a thousand Italian prisoners in Africa because we simply couldn’t keep them. And so on and we even attacked and killed our own allies the French in fear of the French navy becoming a part of the German navy which would have easily rivaled Britains. In India vast amounts of food was redirected towards Africa leading many people to starve to death

おーごめんなさい🙏英語分からない！日本語わからなーい

Instead of focusing on people in general causing wars have you given any thought to an outside force pushing wars on us?

Earth is a factory for humans

Praise God for the forgiveness of sins!

Many of the commenters are missing the point. World II was total war for most countries. The point of video was that we (most people in the so-called "first world") have essentially been at peace for close to 80 years, this is longest period of peace in over 1600 years. But note, one of the underlying reasons that the "Cold War" didn't get "Hot" was that leaders on all sides, both civilian and military, had memories of how horrible and terrible that war was. That institutional memory is now rapidly dying out. We have now essentially lost all of that first-hand memory, and we are getting a lot of sabre-rattling by foolish leaders. I think a good point can be made that none of today's leaders realizes how fast a small border war - say Russia vs Ukraine, could turn into a very short, very hot, nuclear total war. I live in Montana, USA; within 200 miles of my home are I00 Armed Minuteman III ICBMs in scattered missile-silos(hardened protective structures buried in the ground), each of which can hit targets 8,000 miles (13,000km more-or-less) away with up to 3 thermonuclear weapons (H-bombs, if you know the term) each of which is equivalent to about 330 thousand tons of TNT (about 20x the explosive yield of either of the two nukes used on Japan). These missile warheads are able to hit within 50 m of a target. All it takes to launch those missiles is a phone call. I am certain similar structures are found in Russia and China. If a hot-war involving NATO and Russia starts (on the ground in Ukraine, or elsewhere) what future historians (if there are any) might call World War III, will likely remove "civilization" from mankind's list of achievements - a prolonged nuclear winter (resulting from a prolonged nuclear war, say one that lasted 2 days) - would like give us at least 24 months of world-wide cold weather (high temperatures to, say about 0 deg C, 32 deg F, along with not enough light for photosynthesis... = equal no food for anything. Well, I wouldn't give betting odds on anything except, at best, marginal survival for humanity. We had really better start trying somehow to drum some sense into all politicians. NO total war will be survivable by our civilization, and it is likely to render the future of humanity moot. With those cheery thoughts. Happy trails to you all...

Leider wird nur eine Wahrheit zugelassen is halt ein Fakt

привирают ....откуда взяли и прибавили неизвестно где погибших немцев?.....все они погибли на восточном фронте - 5 миллионов

Dont Apologize for the past. And i really don't see defensive war as sinful. Mankind is a warrior race we've moved past it in a way but im sure its there look at the games we play xD i play HOI4 which is a 4x strategy game that simulates ww2. It'll take prolly a 1000 years for us to over come it xD

I have always wondered what the Japanese teach their students about ww2. The nukes were horrible, Americans were told it would have been worse if we tried to invade like we did in Normandy. Kamikaze pilots were used as an example of how how determined the Japanese were to stop Americans, at least in my history books. However I wonder how much we are vilified for doing it? Us being allies now must make that part of history strained, Especially since while we didn't start the war, we became the invaders.

And I oop- Russia broke the “no war” streak 😅

Но в этом списке нет потерь Китая...
