"When you go home, tell them of us, For your tomorrow We gave our today." Mine was in burma won the MC, died of alzimers, terrible.

My grandmother is the same. She's firmly in her 90's now and can tell you all about her childhood, about her kids, etc. I can even call her out of the blue on her landline and although I hear what sounds like a confused, "Hello?" she is able to identify that it's me when I say hi. Out of all those grandkids and great-grandkids, I find that to be pretty impressive. Heck, if it weren't for Caller ID (which she doesn't have), I'd scarcely be able to identify people. But yeah, she has no idea what day of the week it is, what she had for breakfast, etc. Also, she killed 9 men on Okinawa. No, not during the war. Summer, 1994. Something just got in to her, I guess.

My grandfather also fought in WW2 in the Philippines as a combat engineer. He refused to talk about anything about his experiences there till the day he died. I would have loved to hear his war stories and what he went through.

@@junkiexl86 Same here... likely to do with the bomb testing out in the atolls

There were plenty of poor senior-level leaders who became evident during the early Pacific campaign. Too many! Mark Micher’s flight to nowhere comes to mind even at Midway. Savo Island is not far off.

More importantly we were blessed with massive industrial success and manpower. We could have lost more battles and still won.

Luck favors the prepared mind!

Your grandfather was a hero! The Aussies were essentially on their own until Coral Sea and fought bravely to slow the Japanese advance. WWII really forged a great maritime partnerships between our nations that, as a former U.S. Navy Sailor, I was proud to be a part of during several joint operations and exercises.

I’m thrilled to have found this excellent Australian WWII series, because the US owed their military a huge debt of gratitude for their support during the battles of the Pacific. My father-a US Marine-fought in several island battles including Saipan and Iwo Jima, but his base was in Hawaii so he never made it to Australia. My interest started there 35 years ago, but there weren’t many books written about the Pacific Theater and because of that, few documentaries were made except a few of the sea battles. This is no longer the case, thankfully! If only other Commonwealth countries would tell their stories about the critical assistance they gave all over the world, I’d be even happier!

You took the words I was going to use.

The title is wrong. Most of this is about fighting on the eastern front.

Reminds me of the two captured soldiers in Normandy who spoke a language no one knew. A bright fellow got them to the British Museum with tapes of most languages. Jackpot. They were tibetan yak herders who wandered into Soviet territory. The two ended up on the Eastern fron, were captured by the Germans and pressed into German uniforms to serve in Normandy. Talk about world war!

Russia did nothing, ZERO divided Equally until the last 9 weeks..

The Japanese navy went to battle against the Russian navy before war ww2 was official. World conflict is constant...always out of ego and greed; it started thousands of years before the birth of Jesus. Millions of lives lost and for what? We at peace on this planet? God left us to our own devices to be further dissapointed I think. (Just my opinion). Im a retired Soldier...I deserve to share my opinion. Make love, not war!

But when you open a bag of Sea Salt chips, you don't expect to see BBQ.

You have to look at the events of the time. The Germans guessed that the British and French would be their biggest obstacle because of how things were during the first world war and how the Soviet Army had blundered in Finland taking on massive casualties both in manpower and economically in a war they should have won relatively easily. (The Soviets had a massive manpower and equipment advantage) so when the Germans took mainland Europe they weren't really worried about the Russians so much after all they had lost much of their officer corps in purges and their combat record was mediocre at best. Now onto Japan. The Japanese had finally began to achieve their centuries long goal of taking China and its resources, they must have felt pretty unstoppable and they had a modern navy and Army. They hoped that they could have a decisive victory at Pearl Harbor and later a decive annihilation victory at sea (Battle of Midway) to knock the American Navy out of the war after all at that time the Japanese and United States knew that whoever controlled the Ocean would be safer from large scale attacks. Things spiraled out of control when the Germans failed in taking Moscow and the Japanese failed in stopping the US fleet at the Battle of Midway (edited for clarification)

That quote itself is fake but the sentiment or thought by him is real. That quote only comes up in the movie "Tora! Tora! Tora!" No historical sources were presented by the film makers. Still a good quote though, but still fiction.

well allies won by luck....americans didn`t want to go into war but rosevelt pursoded the nation..... there was in congress more people not to go into war than yes... Brits almost surrendered, if USa didn`t came into war.... It was all political....

I have a book from the British memorial museum that is older than Tora Tora and it has thisnqoute, so what's up with that?

That might have been a misquote or a fabrication of the scriptwriter's from the movie TORA TORA TORA. at least that's what History Buffs said in their tora tora tora review

It wasn't Yamamotos day!

@@charlestonbrown148 You could say that again.... And yet, a few minutes here or there, and the Japanese could have won a great victory.

@@tommonk7651 yes the spoils of war turned the Pacific back to the US, Japan had no chance didn't press the advantage at Pearl and big, they missed the carriers!!! Could've attacked the West coast but we be speaking Japanese now, lol

@@charlestonbrown148 To be fair it was Nagumo in charge of the Carrier force and not Yamamoto. It sort of paints the Japanese as incompetent losing so heavily to a very inexperienced US Fleet. However in fairness it is largely down to the Japanese doctine of all out attack. When you over extend and throw haymakers you leave yourself vunerable.

There are incorrect parts in here and the title says 'outsmarted'. Nothing to do with out smarting. Check out Montemayor for an incredible piece of work on this battle.

@Alex WHey. .. America here.. 1939 was the invasion of Poland ... 1939... America did not stab any body in the back...how dare you... We didn't want to enter WW1 either...we didn't want to enter WW2... Before Pearl Harbor we started a lend lease program with England to make it legal to support the War effort...Dec7 is the reason America entered WW2... everyone knows that...and you can't say that America knew it was the start of WW2' when Germany invaded Poland... Any of you even know why America entered WW1...I do...had to do with Mexico..... THAT'S RIGHT. Mexico....hmmmmmmmmm what could it if been..

@Khuaikhema Hnamte your good...🤔

@Khuaikhema Hnamte I clearly see your point...I misunderstood West...I apologize your correct...I'll shut up ...ummm America joined WWI Because British Intelligence intercept...Germany was trying to Allie with Mexico and told Mexico that They Would give back Texas New Mexico and Arizona back to Mexico if Mexico Would help Germany defeat the US... I'm from California...excuse me ..🖐️

Yeah, we stabbed the Polish in the back because we didn't declare war on the Soviets as well as the Germans. Get real! But tbf, you have a point, it's not like the Soviets were any better than the Nazis. So maybe a good nuking of Moscow in the late 40s would have been sensible.

What game tho?

@@Helpme540 I think cod WAW because there’s actually this battles

@@raulayala6251 as far as naval battle games, there is Battlestations Midway. You can take control of aircraft carriers and battleships and stuff. The aircraft carriers send out waves of planes at the enemy ships. It's pretty cool.

@@richardlahan7068 OK, and what does this have to do with the op's comment?

Constant theme with this channel 🙃

If your not talking about Guadalcanal your not talking about key battles in the pacific.

RIght? Half this thing is Eastern front stuff. lol. What gives?

Indeed ... and not only in this movie ... Most of the "timeline"-movies shown on KZfaq are "messed-up" like this.

British WWII history has a heavy bias towards the European theatre, because they performed much better in Europe compared to the Pacific, it's also why many Brits undervalue America's contributions to victory in that war.

Hacksaw ridge is like pretty much part of the last battle of the pacific. The war was over pretty much, just waiting for the atomic bombs and firebombings of Japan to end the war.

Yeah Im not even gonna watch when the thing says 'outsmarted'.

@@eyebelieve3 But it is true. Yamamoto violated the principal axiom of warfare--the concentration of force. The American in contrast executed that principle. Despite the massive Japanese force, the Americans at the point of the spear were had a greater force eater fierce measured in numbers of aircraft.,

It may have been the difference, we can't be sure. Certainly not moving over some of the Shokaku's air group in order to get Zuikaku involved was foolish. At minimum bring Zuikaku into the main body and move Zuiho into the strike group.

@@kurtwpg Absolutely. A good part of the effectiveness of Japan was massing carrier strength into one powerful group. This was absolutely vital when the Americans had a credible carrier force and the battle was within range of an American airbase. Especially interesting is that Tominagua's strike group did not bomb the Midway runways.

@@kurtwpg Why should the Japanese do that when they refused to believe American carriers would engage them until after they captured Midway ? Read about their War Games, which forbade scenarios where American carriers awaited the Kito Butai.

Not actually well researched. Until now, no one had ever claimed that the Akagi was hit before the Kaga. The reason why this can't be correct is one of biggest stories of the battle.

Brits say they won the war and say "don't mention the war" around Germans, like they did anything in the war. Well done getting it right about the Canadians

Canadians proved themselves to be damn good troops.

More needs to be said about the lesser known units in this conflict.

Mike-Wayne Django II; My Granddad was killed in action in Burma in 1945.Prior to Burma he served in the LRDG with Rhodesian soldiers in North Africa. I served with two ex-Rhodesian Army soldiers; one ex-RLI and the other ex-Selous Scouts. Both were exemplary soldiers.

I'm from Burma and I thank your Grandfather.

Not like they had any choice with Stalin

in soviet under staling it took more courage to retreat than to engage!

Yea it is sad. But then again - most Americans then had no idea where Hawaii nor Wake Island was. Gotta cut today's people some slack. Just a little bit~.

They were not working to a time table..they were working to a stategy - isolate the USA from Australia so the major thrust against them would be needed from the west coast of the USA..their hope was that domestic USA would cave in if this happened. It didnt happen ...but it could have....a time line in war is never definite and I defy you to provide any genuine references for what you say. As to Battan or Corregidore? Have you been there? I have...and the history is a bit more interesting that u think~

I thought the home made documentary 'The Battle of Midway: told from the Japanese perspective' was far better. Each to their own I guess.

Hehe ,👉

My Grandfather fought alongside Gurkha soldiers. His unit was the 2nd Buffs and he went to Burma after fighting in France, North Africa, Syria and then Burma. He was killed in action on 02/02/45. His letters are full of admiration for the Gurkhas. Ayo Gorkhali!!!

@@dukecraig2402 I wonder what would have happened had we simply focused the total war effort in the pacific

Yeah if they are supposed to represent opposing generals at least make them put on the uniforms so we can get an actual representation of their uniforms. Cool for edification and is more cinematic. If they are giving respect by not donning the uniform they have not fought in, I suppose I understand that.

@@allandavis8201 YOU DO KNOW THIS COMMENT IS REFERRING TO THE KZfaq CHANNEL THAT STATED THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT THE PACIFIC THEATER..... its literally in the title of the youtube video we are all commenting on

There were 6 TBFs used at Midway. They flew off the island of Midway itself as they had missed the sailing of the Hornet and the Navy didn't want to risk breaking radio silence for the them to have a homing beacon to guide on. So they flew to Midway instead.

Which is best for everyone considering they made a genocide equal in scale to the holocaust, killing some 10 to 20 million people in the pacific and asia. They were more evil then the nazis, and much more creative in their mass murder in the worst way possible. So f*ck them dudes, I'm glad they never stood a chance and picked a fight they couldn't win. Saved a lot of lives.

Not so sure. America has always been less willing to take casualties than Asian nations, thats why they nuked them.

Agreed. Given that the British made successful torpedo attacks with extremely obsolete bi-plane torpedo bombers (Fairey Swordfish aka "Stringbags") the problem wasn't that the Devastators were so useless. It was, 1.) Unescorted they had no chance against the Japanese fighter screen, but by a stroke of luck, they pulled those fighters down to the deck at exactly the right time and their sacrifice made the dive bomber attacks all but unopposed. 2.) The US torpedoes were useless garbage, so even if every Devastator had put its torpedo into the side of a Japanese ship, little or nothing would have been accomplished. Compare that to later in the war when the torpedo problems were fixed and attacks by torpedo planes played a major role in sinking both the Musashi and the Yamato.

@@loumencken9644 The US sub USS Nautilus did put a torpedo into the side of the already burning Akagi that day. The Japanese sailors were very grateful. The warhead broke off and sank, and the body of the torpedo floated nicely, allowing 6 or 7 Japanese crew to use it as a life raft. (The Mark 14 torpedo ladies and gentlemen. Saving enemy lives since 1942.)
