A quote, or were you there?

"23rd August. Our troops are enjoying the fruits of victory" That's what Ichiki wrote in his diary the day before the attack. Ichiki believed that there were only about 2000 Marines on Guadalacanal, not knowing that Vandegrift had landed 11 000 Marines, on the very first day. Furthermore, the Japanese attacked one of the very few spots where the Marines had managed to put up barbed wire. To me, there isn't any clearer example of victory fever than the battle of Alligator creek.

While war gaming the invasion of Midway Island, someone brought up the possibility that the US carriers might not be in port and might attack Nagumo's Kido Butai. The whole idea was dismissed by Yamamoto with the Japanese idiom of "one touch of the armored fist" meaning that all resistance would go away when met with martial force. As a result of Yamamoto's hubris, Japan lost what had been the more powerful and effective naval force in the world. The US Navy's intelligence had predicted exactly where Kido Butai would approach from and when to expect them. That is what I would say is the most prominent example of "victory disease" and the disastrous results of that hubris. Now it is important to point out that "victory disease" did not change the inevitable outcome of the war. It only hastened it. Probably saving lives in the totality of the war. I often say that the Pacific War was lost at the Battle of Tsushima. Japan had been emboldened by their easy victory over the Russians and thought they could take on the Western powers and win. In fact, they never had a chance. Their behavior and decision making only made it worse, not altered the outcome. Still, it was always a lost cause. I'll illustrate that fact with a single statistic: for every pound of supplies the Japanese Empire sent to it's forces, the US sent a ton (2000 pounds) to it's forces.

I served under Maj. General Peatross in 1969 at Parris Island, SC where he was the Commanding General of the training facility there. I did not hear of his exploits with Carlsons Raiders during WW2 for some 45 years later and I was blown away that I had been in the presence of a real Marine hero for three years of service and never knew it! I saw him in front of Headquarters building every morning as they raised the flag and our national anthem played at exactly 0800. He looked like a "shitbird" to me, uniform almost wrinkle free, cover almost squared away, salute very sloppy, but I was just a E-4 Corporal who didn't really appreciate the upper ranks of the Officers. I was in fact, the idiot asshole! We had no idea we were working with one of Carlsons Raiders! His exploits are available on KZread here. He was in large part a key component of our success there at Makin Island. "Mighty Fine" is what he would say every morning at the conclusion of the daily ceremony.

Perhaps the most significant impact of the Makin raid was that the Japanese initially interpreted the Guadalcanal invasion as a raid and hence did not respond seriously, with the exception of Mikawa

"You think that because you say nothing, you are strong?!?" EDIT: Now this makes Episode 1 of The Pacific by HBO. I thought the assault on Alligator Creek was from Japanese troops already stationed on Guadalcanal. Turns out they were landed AFTER the Battle of Savo Island.

My grandfather was drafted in WW2 into the 165th Infantry Regiment which was part of the 27th Infantry Division. My grandfathers Battalion was nicknamed the "Fighting Irish" and "Fighting 69" was first tasked in what ended up being the worst battle in WW2 for the American's. *The Battle of Makin saw 1000 American Casualties and 400 Japanese Casualties. The 27th Infantry was tasked with supplying the "Landing Force" to take the tiny Atoll and they of course chose my grandfathers 165th Infantry Regiment. When they were invading the island my grandfather was taking cover and saw their Battalion Leader Col. Gardiner Conroy in the open. My grandfather yelled to Col. Conroy, "Sir, you should take cover their are Snipers in those tree's". The Colonel head my grandfather and stood straight up and screamed, "No, GD Snipers are going to stop the United States Army!". Immediately after saying this Colonel Gardiner Conroy was shot in the head and killed. My Grandfather survived this hair raising battle in one piece and his next mission to invade Saipan. My grandfather was a heavy machine gunner and during the big Banzai Charge at Saipan my grandfather had his leg shot off. He walked around with a wooden leg for the rest of his. However he lead a good life when he got home from the war he married my beautiful grandmother and had 7 children and 9 grandchildren and worked at the Chicago Post Office Building for 40 years. He passed away in 1993 RIP Grandpa McIntyre.

I've been wondering when we'd get here! 'Guadalcanal'. 'Makin Atoll'. Names from the other side of the world and from my childhood. It's already been said, but I'm definitely ready to see the KnG context around World at War's Pacific campaign. That game's portrayal of history helped to inspire a love for the study of it within me, and it's been interesting coming full circle with this series. I'll probably have to replay it again after this!

Kiyonao Ichiki, he alone started the Second Sino-Japanese War. According to wikipedia this man was promoted posthumously to major general. 1000 men died because of him. Nothing more to say.

I fought on this island. I saved Private Ryan from a flaming Japanese soldier outside of a hut. I was wounded and my comrades had to drag me to a boat where we escaped. War is hell.

The Japanese officers and their units redeployed from the Chinese theater to Pacific didn't realize their experience fighting in China was not applicable to the Americans. Chinese forces were ill trained, ill fed, had very little heavy fire power, the Americans were the complete opposite. Determined frontal attacks against the Chinese often work, but it's suicide to try it on the Americans. Kiyonao Ichiki and his unit is just one of the examples.

More sailors were killed at Guadalcanal than Marines were. People tend to forget that.

The Marine Raiders would be re-raised some ~75 years after its disbandment in 1944.

Those submarines that transported the Marine Raiders did way more than I figured they would as mere transports. As for the IJA experience with the Ichiki Detachment at Guadalcanal, it's going to get way worse for them. One of the defining features of the Guadalcanal Campaign was piecemeal commitment, which would go on for a long time. But when they got more serious in their numbers committed, logistically they could not support them. The Japanese controlled no ports, wharfs at Guadalcanal. The threat of the Allies navies, land and carrier based air power made it even more dangerous for warships and transports to linger around. When the sun rose, that brought with them Allied air power. This puts a severe strain on what the IJN could viably do to resupply the IJA at Guadalcanal. Cargo ships as we've seen already were too slow, they'd get caught at daylight and destroyed. This forced the IJA to use Destroyers as fast transports. Offloading a number of their weapons to carry more troops and materiel for Guadalcanal. In ideal conditions, the IJN would quickly sneak in doing these Destroyer / Light Cruiser runs at night, literally throw the cargo off the side of the ship, and pray they float to shore where the IJA would collect them. The rate of supplies actually getting to the troops at Guadalcanal were abysmal. Not only were the rates abysmal, the IJN were also losing ships on these runs. The Americans called these runs the "Tokyo Express" but the IJN themselves called them "Rat Runs" because they felt like rats scurrying at night. Many USN & IJN battles would be fought over these Tokyo Express / Rat Runs for Guadalcanal. RAdm Raizo Tanaka would accrue a successful, hard fought experience against the USN and he eventually said to his superiors that Guadalcanal was a lost cause for Japan. The constant losses of men, materiel, ships was not something Japan could sustain and they needed to evacuate everyone out of there ASAP. However, in saying this, that got Tanaka sacked. He was their most experienced, successful admiral fighting the Americans, and he got fired for saying the truth. The IJN would remove him from command and stuff him in a desk job in BURMA for the rest of the war. The hilarious part is that Imperial General HQ in Tokyo would later agree and plan and execute a highly successful evacuation of Japanese forces from Guadalcanal. While it would be beneficial to the American cause that Tanaka would no longer be fighting against them, by being stuck in a desk job for the rest of the war would saved his life. The IJN would face several bloody years at sea losing a lot of ships, men, leaders. Tanaka would survive this and live out his days post-war as a farmer until he died in 1969. Post-war, the USN had nothing a lot of praise for Tanaka's combat leadership, particularly at Tassafaronga.

One of the Marine commanders, joking about Calson`s Leftish politics commented "He might have been red but he certainly wasn`t yellow" (so nobody misunderstands, yellow is not meant racially, it was at that time used to designate cowards)

What the US suffered on Guadalcanal as rough as it was was nothing compared to what the Japanese suffered. Keep that in mind.

Much like Operation U-Go two years later. Many Japanese battalions were so devastated by disease, starvation and combat with British/Indian forces that they were literally incapable of following orders at the end. It was a truly horrific ordeal.

Yeah you know he was a real person too 😁👍

The Marine raiders were a small part of the corps, they were formed by Evans Carlson and also encouraged by FDR. Evan Carlson had gone Asiatic from his time in China. This is where people who studied the Chinese, fell into the thousand year of culture thing. They believed the Chinese had it right and we had it all wrong. The raiders were a manifestation of that and FDR admiration of the English commandos. The reasoning for the raid was the country needed a victory, any kind of victory. In the end it was a morale boost for very little gain. It caused the Japanese to fortify their islands more heavily, and in the end may have caused more Marine deaths than it was worth.

When I hear my beloved 1st Bat. 5th Mar is involved., I know it will be a good episode.

People who think of the South Pacific as sandy beaches, coconut palms, and pretty girls in sarongs have no idea what a poisonous swampy malarial hellhole a lot of these islands were/are.

And people don't realise that the people of the Solomon Islands who live on these islands to this day, are still dying from the deadly unexploded munitions that litter the islands that have never been properly removed by neither the Japanese nor American government 70 odd years later, despite numerous requests for assistance from the Solomon Islands government.

Gonna buy Eugene Sledge's book - With the Old Breed : At Peleliu and Okinawa . One of the absolute best books on war ever written they say .

It's very good and there is alot more detail then "The Pacific" miniseries. As brutal as the show was they left stuff out.

please do a video about the paraguayan war

Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault, Call of Duty: World at War

Night time warfare is pretty scary imo.

Private Pyle: Surprise, surprise, surprise!

"Miller, grab a rifle!"

At 5:26-5:27 there is a mistake made by the narrator on shelling activity against the American positions

there is a misspoken word at 5:26: "the American positions would also be boldly shelled by American submarines.."

Always surprised Carlson’s Marines didn’t kill or incapacitate him when he attempted to surrender.

Robert Leckie wrote about the aftermath of the Battle of Alligator Creek in that during lulls in the fight and for several days afterwards, they could hear the alligators in the creek chomping on the Japanese dead in the creek.

Your history of the Makin raid is at odds with the wartime movie "Gung Ho"! Sounds more like a "Cluster"!

Must’ve been crazy tbh, doing island hopping kinda seems fun tbh but crazy also

What is the "E" w/ a line over it among the Japanese unites in the Ichiki detachment? I assume the 1, 2, 3 are for companies 1-3

MILLER! TAKE 'EM OUT!

suggestion: info box coloring against background makes for hard reading

excellent video 📹 the Japanese infantry has to accept that the banzai charge won't work. back to traditional rifle.

This came up in my subs, I Had to do a double take, I thought Aw no again 🤣🤣 been one o they days 👍

Please do the battle of the Atlantic belle island
