Although I was born in 1947 one of the few issues my family would speak of was the outrage the American people felt after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. I was not aware that Japan also attacked Clark field and other American Assets in the pacific theatre. Five of my uncles enlisted right after these attacks. My father worked at a Steel plant in upstate NY and did not have to go on active duty, he was an enlisted Reserve because he was helping make war materials when the war started. My mother worked in a sewing factory during the war sewing uniforms It was truly a world war. Everyone picked in.

The men who flew in The Doolittle raid ! The courage !! Surely, we owe every one of them, an entire nation's gratitude. They were, THE Greatest Generation, & my Dad was part of them. He walked on to Guadalcanal on 8/7/1942, stated x 6+ weeks, & was evac'd only when taken down by Dengue Fever & Combat Fatigue, from lack of sleep. It took 2 full years to get Dad back home to Denver. He was awarded The Navy Cross, & The Purple Heart. My Dad, was the best man I ever knew, & I miss him every single day.; -----------MJL, 77 y/o

There are many inaccuracies in this video. McArthur did not fly out when he left the Philippines, he left on a PT boat. To say there was nothing he could do is inaccurate, he did everything wrong. The way he tried to defend the Philippines was neglectful and maybe criminal. He disobeyed every prewar plan that was in place.

My uncle flew a p-38 in the south pacific and became America's Ace of Aces. Major Richard Ira Bong

My Uncle Dalton was there for almost the entire journey. In early 1942, he was a U.S. Army Master Sergeant command an anti aircraft artillery battery on the island of Corregidor. When the Rock surrendered, he was made a prisoner of war. He was forced into the Batman Death March. Many Americans and Philippines died of starvation dehydration and exhaustion during the march. Then he was put in a containmentt camp where many more died. Then he was put into a He'll Ship for transport to Japan. Many more died of heat stroke, dehydration and dysentery. When they arrived in japan, they were forced to march through the streets of Nagasaki while civilians and military beat and poked at them with sticks. At the outskirts of the city they we forced to work as slave labor in coal mines with little food, water and no medical trestment. He was in the mine when Boxcar dropped the Plutonium bomb. He weighed barely 80 lbs when rescued by American troops. IRONY * While Uncle Dalton was a prisoner, two other uncles were working at Oakridge, Tennessee enriching uranium for the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. My Aunt Maggie was a Navy nurse in the Pacific on a hospital ship. She was wounded when the red cross marked ship was strafed and bombed by Japanese planes. My cousin was an infantryman fighting Japanese on the Aleutian islands. While bullet entire his fatigues he was not wounded. But, he did suffer from n frost bite as a result of having only summer clotying. My father was in the OSS in Europe and parachuted into Normandy before June 6. He traveled from France to Holland to Belgium (including Bastogne) and then on into Germany. I last saw my Uncle Dalton in 1967, after graduating from Fort Poll's Tiger land AIT (Infantry, RVN Oriented). He was still suffering from his bad treatment by the Japanese.

Your family made remarkable contributions to the war effort. But you surely mean the BATAAN Death March. To call it 'Batman' is a howler bordering on plain disrespectful.

The narrator would be better for telling bed-time stories to children than a blood and guts brawling with death.

Not 100% sure but at least 90%, that is Chesty at 59:01. He is front and center and is a Lt. Col. Chesty was a silver leaf at the time.

Thank you USA from AUSTRALIA! We are forever Friends and Allies! 🥰

Warning. Do not cite this material as fact. Example: There was NO pre-invasion shelling of Guadalcanal. The first shells to land were on August 7, day of invasion. MacArthur was not Supreme Commander. Rather, he was in charge of the Army and the southern and western Pacific. Nimitz was in charge of the central theater. But there are lots of facts, so just enjoy.

Sure enough, in Australia and soon in Hawaii, it's December 7th. For me it is important, as being a What If/Alternative World History guy, while I do change history up (keeping close to reality), there are some events I kept as they are. Peral Habour is one I don't charge and most important of that.

Unfortunately, the Australian Prime Minister gave the greenlight to sell steel to Japan during World War II, and we didn’t find out until afterwards and he was rightly, kicked out what he did

Great documentary. Some extremely brave men, on both sides. The Japanese were regarded as some of the best soldiers. There was awesome men in every army. Along with tyrants and animals. War brings out both the best and worst in men.

MacArthur was not in charge of the Guadalcanal campaign he was not a marine at least be accurate

Hey KZread, thanks for turning every decent documentary into a flippin audiobook due to your censorship guidlines...

The Guadalcanal Campaign was not led by McArthur. He struck a deal with Admiral King to let the Marines land at Guadalcanal. Also, the Japanese were not waiting for the Americans. They only had a small construction crew there building the airfield. The Japanese reenforced the island a few days after they realized the attack on Guadalcanal was THE Allied main attack.

Brave and courageous men, All.

They technically were, but they were large scale theater commanders and not directly in command. It’s the same logic someone could use to say that Admiral King was in command of every American naval action during WW2. That is technically true, but really missing the picture.

This documentary takes some real big short cuts to over simplify events. Crucial early Australian victories in Papua at Milne Bay and the Kokoda trail are just not there. Nimitz was not part if the fleet at the Coral Sea, the Soviet declaration of war and invasion of Matchukwo was really important, and so on, and so on.

My father fought at Papua. American. He was a line man. How brave all our men and women were during WW2!

The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was a Zentner 76 or disintegrator bomb, it was the first atomic bomb in the world designed by the Germans and tested at the Thuringia Arsenal in February 1945, there was an earlier version that was tested on the Island of Rügen on October 12, 1944, a year before the Trinity test..... For this reason, the two German tests are why Oppenheimer called his test Trinity, since it was the third of humanity...In 1947 in an interview With several US journalists, they asked him why he didn't test it before throwing it at Little Boy, Oppenheimer replied: "...there was nothing to test, the Germans had already tested it, they just had to throw it..." Oppenheimer always did display of his intellectual honesty.

Nimitz commanded from Pearl Harbor, he wasn't at the Battle of the Coral Sea.

Good documentary, but the censorship was ridiculous. I can’t give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

It is insane how many facts this documentary messes up. For example they messed up Taffy 3 and that is a famous historical David and Goliath story. It is a great looking piece (outside of the yt censorship).

My father-in-law, who fought in the Pacific told me once in his home opinion it was one of the biggest mistakes any country made during World War II

MacArthur ineptness and cowardice lost Philipines in 1942. He should have been retired.

Command of the Guadalcanal campaign was disputed but ultimately cammand was given to Admiral Nimitz and the Navy, not McCarther. Admiral Fletcher commanded the overall expaditionary force while Admiral Turner commanded amphibius forces with Vandergrift leading the 16k ground troops. Yall should fix that, especially considering most Marines cant stand McCarther. The only time we've had to surrender was because he surrendered us then abandoned us.
