I've only seen this in some historical books. Thank you for fleshing out the equipment side of WW2 era Japan. It's very interesting to see it in action.

Folding technique for the blanket and the half shelter is very rigorous ! We are lucky you take the time to showcase such little known information !

Amazing on the care and thought went into out fitting the troops for Japan at the time. I hope there is still some documentation on the full loadout of what each solder had and how prepared they were out in the field.

Thankfully there is, but it’s quite difficult to get all the personal items since both reproductions and originals are rare. Hopefully we’ll do a video on it in the future.

Having had to tie down everything with leather straps as a german great war reenactor the canvas straps that are already attached to the pack seem much more convinient. Very cool video!👍

日本軍が実戦の実践で辿り着いた合理性のあり方なんだなあ。ちょっと感心。

Wonderful! Well done! Good detailing, and a look at how Japanese thought and culture affected everything in their lives, even the lowliest soldier whose highest asperation was death in battle for the Emperor. in order to understand the mind of an enemy, one has to look at every aspect of him, and many clues for the wise and observant are presented in the simple but elegant way the Japanese soldier subsisted with the equipment he was proud to carry because it was given him thru the chain of command by the Emperor. Those days seem far distant now. Life and the world have been made a better place in Peace than in war. But if Historians and average people are to have an understanding of those sad days and the terrible nature of war, an understanding of the Japanese soldier is essential. This goes back to Sun Tsu who taught that it was good to understand your opponent as a key to victory. Understanding history is a key which helps explains the present and unlock the future.

Very true and so well-written. You have a way with words and you understood the mentality of the Japanese soldier of World War II.

Well that's certainly not the first type 99 he's assembled. I have no clue why I started watching this video, but I became mesmerized.

Ehre und Respekt , den tapferen japanischen Soldaten. Mögen sie in Frieden ruhen. Honor and respect to the brave Japanese soldiers. May they rest in peace.

Oh that's really remarkable how the backpack is packed. It looks like it doesn't make any noise or rattle. The folding of the blanket and the tent is really awesome! A question about the spade, why isn't it complete. Or is it put together somehow? But you can only get to the steel helmet very slowly. Is there another way of transport, between normal march and close to battle? What equipment is in the backpack? Thanks for the interesting video about it.👍👍

The spade and handle breaks down into two pieces for ease of transportation. The helmet is tied over the mess kit when you don’t expect combat but when you are, you can place it on top of the backpack and tie the strap around your body for easy access. The backpack would usually have spare clothes, personal items, rations, and other goodies.

I'm always amazed at how little gear soldiers on all sides carried during WW2. Compared to a modern military load, it's a very badic kit.

@Anthrolithos

This is the munition kit. But there were undoubtedly other pieces of kit carried depending on your combat role - a stove and mess for cooks, a surgical box for medics, a satchel of explosives for engineers, loading tools and spare magazines for machine gunners, a field telephone or radio for commo etc. The war in the Pacific was marked by *entrenched* enemy positions, so soldiers on patrol stayed as light as they could until they could return to a fortified base camp. In jungle surroundings, this is a well put-together kit - light and compact enough not to get caught often on foliage, but with enough gear to stay sheltered and ready in temperamental tropic weather. You must also remember that in modern battle doctrine forces soldiers to always be in communication or connection with every other member of a fighting body - which means that radios, maps, binoculars, flares, signal smoke grenades, etc - which were carried by officers only to direct or aid troops, are carried by every single soldier of a unit; which increases weight carried by a large factor.

Very beautiful! Thank you from the US

Love the music BTW. It seems like more emphasis was put on the European theatre of operation here in the west, in movies and in popular culture, but it must take a level of dedication, discipline, national pride and hutzpah for a small island nation like Japan, with limited recourses, take on three Giants at the same time. Talk about punching above your weight. A lot of people don't realize that the bulk of Japan's manpower and recourses were focused on China, but still managed to fight and hold on to the island archipelago for as long as they did. My Grandfather served in the USMC in the Pacific, and I've always been fascinated by the foe they faced.

From a modern perspective this seems like a very complicated way to pack a bag. But I'm still amazed how similar much of it is to what we have in the swiss army. Especially the shelter half is almost identical and we also roll it in similar way

Cool music I dont know what they are saying but I like the vibe. I imagine a singer in black and white

BANZAI!!!

The equipment for the IJA/IJN, and the Chinese Nationalists is comparatively light compared to their European compatriots. But having heavy equipment and thick uniforms isn't a great idea for the steamy jungles and forests of southeast asia or the Philippines. Also, the Japanese economy wasn't as robust as the larger l, Western Powers. However, they equipped their soldiers well and had perhaps the most economical and efficient kit in the War. They certainly had one of the best rifles, the Type 38 and later 99. Thank you for your hard work in the hobby! I wish I had the money and time to put into it the way I'd like! I happy for you that you do!

Great video,but a you pls post links to where we can get there pro gear?

The regulation method for packing anything always looks very nice and compact but takes way too long and is too specific in the particular way a given item is to be set to really be practical outside of a garrison environment.

@hattorihan7503

Жыл бұрын

The regulation method is there to teach soldiers how to maximize space for the pack and make sure everything is properly neat and secure for inspection, training exercises, or a long march. Of course, if you’re in a situation where there is a lack of time or space, then the soldier can use an easier method.

Awesome content! Thumbs up! I must say what a overly complex system for such little benefit. A slightly larger conventional pack would have been far more useful. I will be looking for your other videos watched a couple, interested in cold weather kit of IJA?

Very informative and interesting. Would this have to be inspected by officers before moving out? How much did it weigh? And, what would the average soldier have possibly carried in their pack?

Fascinating - infantryman's origami...

The backpack isn't normally taken into combat so a soldier wouldn't put stuff that he would need in a battle in it. Thats why he has an easily accessible haversack.

The precision of your knot-handling is inspiring! Is the absence of buckles a cultural choice, or an economic one? (that is, would a civilian outside the wartime economy tend to likewise knot fastenings closed rather than using buckles or toggles?) Thank you for sharing, that was fascinating!
