Tread lightly was said to me by my father before asking my grandfather about his service as an jungaleer/island hopper in the pacific. RIP grandpa

My grandfather was kidnapped in the Philippines during the Japanese American war 😢 😭 and he was never found after that... my grandma and my mom escaped along her 2 younger siblings & they walked miles & miles away during the war, wearing white clothes and carrying whatever they can to move away from their hometown to another not to be killed and raped by the Japanese soldiers. It took them 4days to do that to be in a safer place away from the war zone. According to my mom, she was 4 years old when it happened & she still vividly remembers how horrific it was and never wished to experience it for our next generation. 😔

Maravilloso material documental,gracias

My Dad was fighting the Japanese in the Philippines well into 1946 because they either did not know about the surrender or refused to believe it-

Acima de tudo gostaria de parabenizar ao narrador deste documentário. Fantástico.

Powerful documentary of WW II Well done.

Video editors, STOP blurring out the dead and mangled of war. That carnage needs to be seen in clarity. Death and injuries are part of war and need to be displayed in all of its horrors, lessons to be learned!

Excelent video!!!

A rare accurate explanation of why the atom bombs were used.

My grandpa once told me a story that happened to him while on a battleship in the pacific during WW2. They came across a lifeboat full of Japanese soldiers. His commander told them all to surrender and they would be captured as POWs. They refused to be captured and the order was given to shoot them all.

My Grandfather Raised me because I lost my Father to Vietnam and he served in the both Theaters Europe and Asia during World War 2. The stories he would tell us as young Teenagers were very interesting and some were outright terrifying. When I joined The Marine Corps and came home on my first leave he sat me down and we had a long talk about War and he really opened my eyes because I was Brain Washed from Bootcamp and all.

War is hell. Remember everybody who died.

This is really well written and narrated. Well done.

Excelente documentário 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Parabéns por esse belo canal 👍👏😍

thank you

There was a man who survived both the Hiroshima bombing and the Nagasaki attack. He was a business man and was on Hiroshima on business. And after the attack he returned to Nagasaki in time for the Second bombing. He wasn't injured in Either attack

A warrior loves his garden. Peace on Earth.

Unconditional and warranted

Thanks

My Dad was a Marine who fought on Okinawa and was in Tsing Tao China, he was supposed to be part of the invasion force to attack Japan.

Merci

que joia de documentario..

The horror of yesteryear is forgotten by those of today.

My gym teacher was standing behind MacArthur during that ceremony, Harry Fine. He once showed me a collection of gold teeth he had cut out of dead Japanese soldiers on some beach in the Pacific Theater . Super nice guy but you could see the horrors of war in his eyes.

Isto é que uma história de verdade muito obrigado nunca vai haver um terceira guerra mundial

Áudio Em Português, Obrigado

Tempos tristes e horríveis com um grande sofrimento inimaginável que esse povo possou meu Deus, graças adeus que eu não nasci nessa terrível época!

Despite an inference, no B29s operated anywhere in Europe. One visited the UK though. As the 'Washington' some operated with the RAF post war.

My father was in the Burma theater of WWII......

At about 5:40 into the presentation, sorry but there is a major mistake - the Allies ( US, British) did NOT stop at the Rhine. The Rhine was crossed ( under fire in some cases) and advanced into the Ruhr. The allies did however stop at the Elbe river, and met up with Russian troops there. (April 1945 going from memory )

Mc Arthur's prayer that God preserve the world peace should be everyone's prayer too. WW2 is so devastating... what more is WW3

I lived in Germany for 12 years from 1981-1993. I was stationed primarily in the Würzburg/Schweinfurt area and had a close relationship with a former girlfriend and her family. In an ironic twist of fate, her father was assigned to the Atlantic Wall in Normandy when my father ferried troops to Utah Beach on his LCM. We spoke very candidly about German society, how it was very common for German citizens to spy on one another, and how my girlfriend's late father, who was Polish, was conscripted into German Army. At the time, her father was given two options: Serve in the army or he and his family would be guests of the "Final Solution".

I see soldiers in the videos (at least some) are still using Springfield 1903 instead of the normal M1 garand.

Essa guerra já mais poderar se repetir nunca mais

And it still goes on at any given time somewhere in the world. We will never learn !!!

Quando um lider enlouquece, seu povo tem que remove-lo do poder.

When the invasion of Japan did not go off because we nuked them, all the guns in storage on Iwo Jima, four and five pallets high, were put on two ships. One went to Pyongyang and the other to Hanoi. We were sending them the guns to start the next two wars. To find out more look up Col. L Fletcher Prouty. The French were defeated at Dien Bien Phu by American weapons.

I read the wartime autobiography of the pilot of a Japanese Kaiten crewed torpedo - which sunk more allied ships than the Kamikazes. He survived because his machine broke down during its attack. The book came out in the early 70's and the author noted in the last paragraphs, that while watching the start of a Tokyo baseball game on the Emperor's birthday, the whole of the stadium rose up and give three very loud and very patriotic banzais. He stated there was no doubt in his mind that in 1973 Japan would have no problem finding any number of young pilots who would be willing to give their lives and crash their jet fighters into an enemy,

Ordem e harmonia pra quem?

Let us not forget the primary motivation for use of the first atom bomb was driven by the U.S. military’s estimation that invading the home Japanese islands would result in no fewer than 500,000 American deaths. As this estimated death toll was unacceptable, use of the atomic bomb seemed all the more logical as the best alternative.

The narrator read in the surrender by Japan, that, "...the endurable must be endured." but, I seem to remember reading that, "...the unendurable must be endured."

Like. Escutei dois anjos conversando depois de terem finalizado a sua ronda ,e sondagem dos homens sobre a terra , quando um deles disse: As guerras nunca ensinaram nada aos homens, pois eles sempre repetem os mesmos atos e erros, destruindo a si mesmo deis do início, e hj, repetem as mesmas coisas, nada aprenderam.

Its amazing how much destruction one person can bring to a whole country ,

INTRO THEME MUSIC PLEASE ...ENIO MORRICONE?

@ 37:50 or so it refers to "Port Arthur in Korea" - which of course is in China as could be seen on the map. - but appear to be a decent video all in,

Absolutely horrible how civilians had to pay the highest price because of evil leaders' desire for destruction.

You forgot the mention the attempted coup against Hirohito when he was going to anounce the surrender over the radio.

My grandfather on my mums side was drafted by the nazis into the panzer division but he just stole the tank and joined the Italian resistance.

For nations in Eastern Europe war did not end neither in 8.05 nor in 2.09 1945 as they were occupied by Soviet Union and had to fight 40 years more until collapse of communism.

Instead of criticising the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ask your self what would you as the commander, have done! Whilst thinking about that, think of this: 'It is the duty of a commander, to maximise the damage and losses to the enemy forces and minimise their own losses.'

So sad to see so much destruction. Have we learned anything , yes , we can do it digitally, as well as weapons , hurray the human race . Cash and power , that's all we think about . The fight goes on, just in a different manner. RIP you brave people

But this is more about Europe. 😮

Verdade seja dita, se não se apoiassem perderiam

Who's that guy in the thumbnail

August 4th 2022 ARTE sent out:Hiroshima, the really truth. The Japanese army was prepared to surrender before the two atomic bombs of Uncle Sam were fallen who destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But the US military wanted to drop the bombs.

Lots of people are unaware that Italy fought for the Nazis.

Lets pray for a better world!

In this WW2 how Atomic Bomb destroyed Heroshima and Nagasaki i feel prety those people and soldier it was a worst year..

Don´t obliterate corpses or wounded or dead people, please. They suffered pain and often lost their lives during battles so that they are worth to be shown the way they were shot.

Assistindo de Londrina PR

I never stopped wondering why people fighting to each other all the time? And the only reason is greed in my personal opinion. More space more resources despite of victims of battle. I don't give a sh*t the goals of wars. People have to stay peaceful. 🌺

I dnt know why But I wants to be in The year when all these were Happened its difficult to face this much pain but I want to feel what it all Feel like

Poland, the country that did so much, was the only country that really lost the war.

Are these images real/???

"We must endure the unendurable."

Yes

Só não entendo como Hiroshima e Nagasaki ainda são habitadas!!

Bizarre; it took almost 18 minutes to get to Japan, in a film entitled: Japanese Refused to Surrender. Why?

The problem with this war duc is that you bend over through the way you were looking

Imagine if Commodore Mathew Perry did not forcebly open in 1853 the 200-year closed door policy of Japan through a naval diplomacy the Japanese would still be wearing kimonos, katana, & gepte (wooden shoes). They could not had beaten the Russians in 1904/5, helped the Allied Powers in World War I, and attacked Pearl Harbor, Manila & Singapore in December 7/8 1941.

40:45, the detonation of the first Atom bomb test.

After Hiroshima was bombed the Japanese High Command refused to believe that one bomb had devasted the city and resolved to continue fighting. The allies went ahead with their preparation for the invasion of the Japanese Home Islands. The decision was made to drop the second bomb, the primary target - Niigata was selected, but as it turned out was spared because it was obscured by cloud. The secondary target - Nagasaki, was bombed. The High Command still refused to accept one bomb had destroyed the city. The Emporer told them to face reality - that if one bomb had destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then there was no point in continuing the fight and surrender was the better option. Those two bombs saved unknown lives - and all of us whose father's, grandfather's - for the younger generations, are indirectly survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, because they would have been involved in the operations required to invade, and occupy Japan. Estimates vary of the number of casualties the allies would have suffered, but it is around 1,000,000 - one million men! Incidentally if the Japanese had not surrendered then Kokura was to be bombed next!

For an interesting take on Japan's surrender, read "Emperor" about the end of the war and the brutality and senselessness of total war.

5:04 - What's that blurry thing?

Mon cœur saigne.

Gosto Muito dos Documentários sobre as Guerras que já aconteceram ao longo da História da humanidade, desde as mais Antigas quanto as mais recentes, Como ex: guerras Napoleônicas, a Primeira Guerra Mundial 1914 - 1918, As Grandes Batalhas nas guerras do Império Romano, as Conquistas e Vitórias de Alexandre o Grande, as Batalhas nas Guerras do Império de Genghis Khan. na América do Sul tivemos duas Guerras Importantes a Guerra das Malvinas em 1982 e a Guerra do Paraguay em 1864 - 1870. OBS: muitas foram guerra civil entre o próprio povo, as mais Conhecidas e estudadas guerras civis da História são a Guerra civil Americana 1861 - 1865, a Guerra civil Russa 1918 - 1921, e a Guerra civil Espanhol 1936 - 1939 que foi um tipo de "ensaio" ou preparação para a Segunda Guerra Mundial. No Brasil tivemos várias a mais marcante delas foi a Guerra dos Farrapos 1835 - 1845. Enfim são muitas Guerras e Conflitos entre Nações que já aconteceram. Gosto de ler livros, e TUDO sobre estas Grandes Guerras, e assistir a Muitos Documentários sobre elas. Mas sem SOMBRA de DÚVIDAS nenhuma destas guerras entre Nações que já aconteceram, chama tanta atenção e Curiosidade, tanto dos Historiadores quanto das pessoas Comuns, quanto à ( Segunda Guerra Mundial ) pois além de ser uma Guerra que envolveu uma boa parte dos Países do Globo, seja de forma Direta ou Indireta, ela mudou o Curso da História em muitos Sentidos, vou citar só às ( 5 Cinco ) Principais. (1°) antes da Segunda Guerra Mundial, as Maiores Potências mundiais inclusive Militar, eram Inglaterra, França, e Japão, Mas depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial a MAIOR Potência econômica e Militar do Planeta passou a ser os Estados Unidos, sendo a Maior potência até hoje. OBS: a Alemanha só se tornou de Novo uma Grande Potência militar e Econômica somente alguns anos antes da Segunda Guerra mundial, com a Chegada de Adolf Hitler ao Poder em 1933. (2°) logo após os Estados Unidos ter se Consolidado como a Maior potência Econômica e Militar, logo depois da Guerra o idioma ( Inglês ) passou a ser Considerado o idioma mais importante naquele momento no mundo e continua até os dias de Hoje. (3°) O Dólar Americano passou a ser usado como uma moeda mundial valendo muito, em praticamente todos os Países e continua até os dias de Hoje. (4°) após a Segunda Guerra Mundial a influência nos países do Globo, passou a ser disputada entre duas Potências mundiais, de um lado liderando o Bloco Capitalista os Estados Unidos. do outro liderando o Bloco Socialista ou Comunista como preferem chamar alguns, a União Soviética q emergiu como uma Grande Potência após a Guerra. (5°) após a Segunda Guerra Mundial foi criada em 1947 a ( ONU ) Organização das Nações Unidas, que tinha como Principais Objetivos criar leis e regras rígidas no mundo tais como Comércio, migração de pessoas a outros países, entre outras coisas; mas o Principal Objetivo da criação da ONU era o de impedir novas Guerras, Sempre buscando em Primeiro lugar o Diálogo entre as Nações, mas caso o Diálogo não funcionasse a ONU tbm criou diversas leis para EVITAR ao máximo Guerras, e TODOS os países tinham que seguir estas leis. Mas uma coisa q NÃO entendo até Hoje e não entra na minha cabeça de jeito nenhum, É, Porque a "História" insiste em reconhecer a França como um dos Países Vencedores da Segunda Guerra Mundial? Pois isso É uma Grande MENTIRA ensinada nas escolas, Faculdades, livros, revistas, Documentários, e etc.. sendo que o próprio estudo da Segunda Guerra Mundial através dos livros, revistas, artigos de Historiadores imparciais, e até nos Documentários nos ensina diferente ou Seja que a França foi na Verdade Derrotada pela Alemanha Nazista em menos de Seis Semanas. logo após a Derrota os Franceses foram humilhados pelos Alemães que os obrigaram a assinar os termos da Rendição no MESMO Vagão de Trem, que a Alemanha tinha assinado sua derrota na Primeira guerra mundial anos antes. Que humilhação! Entre as exigências Absurdas exigida pelos Alemães aos Derrotados Franceses, era de que eles criassem um Governo Colaboracionista, inclusive com a França entregando todos os Judeus recidentes no País, Sem contar q a França foi Dividida em duas zonas de influência uma Controlada pelos Nazistas Alemães, e a outra "Controlada" pelo Governo Colaboracionista da França. Portanto colocar a França como uma das Potências Vencedoras da Segunda Guerra Mundial, Não É apenas um Absurdo e "piada sem graça". mas também uma Afronta à própria História q nos Mostra os ( EUA, a URSS e a Inglaterra ) como os VERDADEIROS Vencedores da Segunda Guerra Mundial. a França até hoje deveria agradecer de Joelhos, a Inglaterra e Principalmente os EUA e URSS pela Vitória. Portanto NÃO entendo porque que ainda a Maioria dos livros, Documentários e etc.. insiste nesta Grande MENTIRA em colocar a França como uma das " potências" vencedoras, se ironicamente os próprios livros e Documentários sobre a Segunda Guerra Mundial nos mostra a Verdade de forma contrária ao que está sendo mostrado, pelo menos nesta questão dos Países Vencedores.

Excellent condensé !! Les tarés devraient revoir ce document pour le bien être de tous , faute de quoi ils devront être éliminés á leur tour ....Aléa jacta est ...Salut ...

E ainda sou capaz de dizer não aprenderam nada estamos em 2023 quase na beira de acontecer o pior do que o que aconteceu. O ser humano não aprende. Com o passado tentando de novo recomeçar o passado😢 e vão conseguir

It would seem that we ended up in the same place in spite of it all.

😂he said Hitler comited suicide I did a lot of research and they said hes body never been recovered.

In 1947 , the US changed Japan's Constitution to bring in human and democratic rights . . The US did not want unconditional surrender . The Japanese military took over the government in 1931 . The Potsdam Declaration of July 26th , 1945 outline the 13 terms of surrender . The Declaration states the intention of the US was to remove Japan's military government for all time and bring in human rights . In other words , The US wanted to change Japan's Constitution. This is why Japan's "Big Six " rejected it with "silence. " The "Big Six " wanted to make it so costly for the Americans they would seek an armistice . It was the combination of the 2nd atomic bomb and the Soviet attack on Japan's military that convinced the Emperor and the "Big Six " to accept the Potsdam Declaration on August 10th 1945 - accept the condition of the Emperor would not be changed . However , the Emperor was considered a divinity , and the "Big Six" ruled through him . So the US would not be able to change Japan's Constitution . While under US occupation , the US changed Japan's Constitution in 1947 and brought in Human and Democratic rights. Japan's Constitution is modeled after Britain's Westminster System. . .

Russia hasn’t changed at all.

The lost japonese soldiers in 1974 surender ! 😅 le dernier soldats japonais s'est rendu en 1974! ( il ignorait la fin du conflit !! )

I heard that some surrendered when they were offered free sushi and sake though.

When referring to 'Operation Starvation' the narrator failed to mention the outstanding work and success of the U.S. submarine forces. Japan relied on seaborne traffic for oil, food, raw materials and some 5 million tons (out of 6 millions in 1942) had been sunk by subs.

👍

Stalin smiling knowing he got half of europe, fast forward to today’s problems in europe

السلام عليكم

0:51 those tank drivers were really good drivers they didn't squish a single person. 🤣🤣🤣

Waarom in er nooit een gerecht opgezet voor de moorden die de VS hebben begaan in de periode in de jaren 62 tot 65 in Vietnam ?

God! Real combat! Not a movie!!

Is this about the Japanese or the Germans?

Port Arthur is not in Korea as even the visuals show 😂 37:59

The beginning of the end of Nazi Germany (4:56-) was NOT brought on by the D Day landings in 1944 and had their origins MUCH earlier in the war and depending on the opinions of the specific event...ALL agree that the end of Nazi Germany began deep within the Soviet Union and was only a matter of time. At the hugest cost, it was ultimately due to the actions of the Soviet Military that Nazi Germany would be defeated and when it would finally surrender.

Οι χαρές κράτησαν για λίγο,αφού από μία μικρή εκεχειρία μπήκαμε στον πόλεμο

The Japanese got off lightly for their part in the horrendous war crimes committed

History must teach us the horror of war hopely the thinking of world war 3 is a myth only....
