chester nimitz?

They were ALL tough back then...And your Grand dad rocked.

May he rest in peace!

Your granddad PERSONALLY helped sink FOUR aircraft carriers. That is as valuable a fact as a family heirloom.

rip my grandad

just 18 when he fought at midway??? they sent them directly to combat after joining?

I wonder how many animals died in those battles like imagine a Shark finding a dead soldier and thinking hell yea dinner is rerved just to be blown away by a ship explosion or bein pierced by a round, or a seagull flying the hell out of that place just to run into gunfire its kinda interesting tbh

@@rabsaque I was thinking you were gonna say the shark goes to bite and hits a grenade and explodes

@@glossjunkies6026 yeah something like that could you imagine?

@@rabsaque can you imagine what havoc depth charges wreaked upon the fish?

@@basedhalo yeah it's an interesting subject there si an species of dedo sea shark called cookie cutter shark they Made a tuve mesa during the cold war because they bite the rubber from the antena isolation system of nuclear submarines thinking yo he whales both the Russians and Americans believing the other had some kind of new weapon to disable the comunicacions jajajaja

Yeah i know right?

My ojiisan was on the other side

Not gonna lie I highly dislike people with that same attitude. Like why can’t you adapt and learn from newer generations it’s only going to keep changing why stay stuck in the past. Do you even understand how badly older generations were brainwashed by the government it’s even worse today. But basically what I’m trying to say is no generation will be better then the other that’s all opinion based.

Times tickling grandpa ⌛

I also miss the generation that ignored conservative nonsense and decided that democracy and fighting fascism should be the number one focus of the US. The boomers who replaced these guys seem to have gone in the opposite direction.

Japan is the first human race in Japan at the WW1 Paris conference Racism excretion bill Do you know Hakkou Ichiu? It means that humanity is a family. It is the word of His Majesty the Emperor 2000 years ago. Japan is Asia and Japan is the only independent nation. We are responsible for liberating Asia. Why did the West send troops to Asia? Thank you for answering the question. Thank you for sending the music.

@@MrMenefrego1 Please in Japanese？？？

In 1938, while serving as the director of the special agency for Harbin in Manchuria, he worked on Manchukuo to rescue Jewish refugees who had fled Europe via the Trans-Siberian Railway. The second is the Japanese garrison on Kiska Island, which was on the verge of breaking the jade under the overwhelming siege of the U.S. Army during his tenure as commander of the Northern Army (later the Fifth Area Army) in 1943. Successful "miracle operation" to secretly withdraw a little less than a thousand soldiers. Third, in 1945, he unilaterally abandoned the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty and entered the war, ordering the Soviet Union forces that continued to invade even after the end of the war, and crushed their ambitions. That is (Hokkaido was hard protected by the victory on the northernmost island of Kita-Kuril Islands, Shumshu Island, and the struggle on Sakhalin).

So nick Jonas plays your grandad in midway?

Thanks for these stories

Same here

me

I'm smarter than that. !this is the REAL Footage🌅

I was surprised there was no mention of the greatest dive bomber, Dusty Kleiss?

@@gambler213 Jack knew how to set his mind to drop w/ Deadly accuracy just. Like an athlete with baseballs or quarterbacks , and Golf players ,and under ALLOT more pressure. !

That's also him at 11:43, the narrator calls him "Jimmy Thatch" Jimmy was his nickname.

Dépêche mode

His scene in the 2019 movie was awesome

Would even say the same to his beleaguered camera crew.

I mean everyone was brave back then who wasn't

Rest in Peace Akagi

Beautifully said

So you want another world war to happen?

Yamato was a well known battleship, not a destroyer. Thanks for sharing your KZfaq wisdom.

Pffft hahaha, the best one was right before the first one

I just cry with my student loans

jlbsr1959 *bravest, I don’t it were the greatest

Yahsone so what we’re still racist a few words and actions doesnt mean no character development the guys on the front could give 2 shits who as with them so long as the job was done

Yahsone still better than anyone living today. I’ll take a racist fighting and winning for my country over a non racist fucking up crying and losing. Never hate on the ones who sacrificed to prevent the world from imploding. No one is perfect even now.

And the Avenger and Devastator torpedo bombers sure were slaughtered in the battle... a miracle the Dauntless dive bombers actually succeeded where the torp bombers and Midway's own bomber force of Marauders and Flying Fortresses have somehow repeatedly failed.

And harassing diners.

And maybe even a more modern take on a battle that will even eclipse the Battle of Midway when it comes to historical influence as a whole.

They would have to have lived into their 100s - 110s, this decade will be the last decade for WW2 veterans to liven through, in 8 years it may be too far

God damn right, fuck 12

Will they have kids and grandchildren?

June 4 to 7

It says 1942 and holy shit this was 9 year ago

That's just about everyone in '42.

The m1 got common about 1942-43. They stop making the ww1 m1917/18 helmet in 1942 but they had different liners I think and different chinstraps. But in this footage some of them have m1 helmets. The guy in the middle at 3:39 I think is wearing a m1 helmet.

Awesome brother

Thank him for me. Wherever he is. My grandfathers served one in each conflict. My dads side was keeping the bombers and fighters going in the pacific then later in Korea and my moms side was in Germany to see the horrors the Germans brought upon the People in the concentration camps.

Dad? How old are you if you don’t mind me asking

@@adriangonzalez3yearsago927 no personal information do i give out . my dad told me things will all be forgotten after i die .

Rest in peace all soldiers who died and fought for their country in that battle.

Every English blood line right

That may be true, but the Chinese were in such disarray with their own internal conflict. Realistically the Japanese wouldn't of been opposed because nobody, of the 5 million, had access to any guns and ammunition to form any cohesive resistance. Most were just bands of peasants with pitch forks. The Japanese definitely couldn't have advance but I think it's more from a logistic point.

snakes3425 and even after this the IJN packed a lot of power. Battle of Savo Island. Battle of Santa Cruz Islands. In between these battles and during, Carrier Wasp would be sunk and Saratoga put out of action and Hornet sunk. Enterprise was the lone carrier left in Nov 1942.

Braden Bennett 😎😆

yamamoto was clear that the USA was to be warned before the pearl attack, it didn't happen. he was right about a lot of things.

if america not stop the resource. maybe i not attack pearl harbor. hahaha

@@ridzuannurain_z3811 y'all still lost

@@smithnwesson990 i don't know actualy why japanese attack.. and start war world two

They sure were. 57 or so of the 1st three waves of torpedo planes and dive bombers were shot down by the Japanese CAP.

Joseph Demis yup and scary to think if the IJN had more zero fighters. They only had 85 total. 248 total planes.

Full of patriotic undertones (aka: propaganda) in this film. Not criticizing the sacrifice of these men, but this is clearly a propaganda film. Just want viewer to note psychological manipulation when it is being used.

@@Zhonguoria Correct! It's been going on a long time. "It’s a great brainwashing process, which goes very slow[ly] and is divided [into] four basic stages. The first one [is] demoralization; it takes from 15-20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years which [is required] to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy. In other words, Marxist-Leninist ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students, without being challenged, or counter-balanced by the basic values of Americanism (American patriotism). The result? The result you can see. Most of the people who graduated in the sixties (drop-outs or half-baked intellectuals) are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, [and the] educational system. You are stuck with them. You cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated; they are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind[s], even if you expose them to authentic information, even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. In other words, these people… the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To [rid] society of these people, you need another twenty or fifteen years to educate a new generation of patriotically-minded and common sense people, who would be acting in favor and in the interests of United States society."-- Yuri Bezmenov

why musicians?

@@reallyhappenings5597 Their musical background allowed them to see patterns in the codes, where others could not, which helped them decode the messages.

I believe code breaking is the work of mathematicians, not musicians. Thanks for the KZfaq fractured history, professor.

​@stevek8829 They were musicians.

And since we saved Korea, half the country hates us and Japan is an alley. Go figure.

Johnny Dominguez: got it thanks

Unfortunately, it’s not the same Yorktown that fought at Midway. That Yorktown was sunk during the battle. The next Aircraft Carrier they made was named in honor of the old Yorktown. That’s the one in South Carolina you can see.

It was used to raise war bonds in world War 2.

7 Fleet carriers 2 Battleships 9 heavy Cruisers 2 Light Cruisers 27 Destroyers 29 Submarines 600 plus carrier and land based aircraft Less than 20% of what would be involved in the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944
