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.

At Midway there was a lot of good luck on our side but without the leadership that was there we had it would have been a much different story altogether.

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!

I never knew the Russians and Germans had such a big role in the Pacific War.

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)

Absolutely my favorite battle of the Pacific War.... It was a miraculous victory, in truth. So much luck and timing involved. If you wrote a book with this story, it would be unbelievable, had it not actually happened. Obtaining intelligence through code breaking of 10-20% of the Japanese code; the Yorktown putting back to sea after only 2 days of repair; a totally inexperienced carrier commander in Raymond Spruance; the failure of Japanese reconnaissance flights; failed attack after failed attack that sacrificed men and planes to get the carrier air protection down on the deck; the luck of the Enterprise planes sighting the Japanese carriers at all by following the wake of Japanese ship that had stayed behind to try to sink an American submarine; the Japanese attacking the Yorktown twice instead of going after another carrier.... It just goes on and on. 5 minutes that changed the war. Yamamoto knew he had to knock the US out before its manufacturing advantage took over; he failed.

I don't know what unit my great uncle was in but he is buried in Belgium.

7:15 Actually, the Japanese did spot the American carrier TF first, but the Japanese scout misidentified the TF composition, and Nagumo wasn't expecting a surprise attack so didn't follow up on the sighting report. Figured it was just an auxiliary force heading out to the Aleutian Islands where a decoy attack was taking place.

Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!

Any chance you can put more ads? I dont think there's enough.

This series is good except for the strange looks the two actors give each other across the table. I appreciate the map because it helps me visualize the location and other things but the odd looks like they are playing the kids card game “go fish” is strange.

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.

Thank you! Both A pair of clowns! Who are they? Didn't this channel know about graphics?

Just a little point, Paulus was not a von, just Paulus.

The two guys shown at 9:55 are full of it. The group of USAAF's (precursor to the eventually separate Air Force branch ) B17's and Marine bomber pilots scored NO bombing hits on either of the two days of the Midway battle. The B17's were essentially worthless and were not much more than a bunch of picture takers. The level of "lying" continued later in the war as USAAF pilots and staff bragged, IN FRONT OF NAVY staffers, no less, that THEY were the reason the Battle of Midway was won.

WTF? 10 minutes of pacific theatre and the rest about the commies???

It's crazy Japanese people used to be crazy imprealists and now they are all on passive hello Kitty mode lmao

I came here to watch adverts with a history documentary in-between.

@@javodzabetian9483 in both world wars the U.S. was the last country to enter and if keeping treaty commitment is a blame for entering a war then you are correct..And Germany had nothing to do with starting either world war.. Only Britain was to blame..You learned that is school did you?

Is there any way I could get more footage of 2 men moving Army/Navy figurines around on a Snooker table? What I really want is footage of 2 men playing the classic Milton Bradley game "Battleship", on a fine antique maple coffee table, but I realize this is a big ask. Just the thought of being able to witness the moment when the one player screams at the other, "You sank my Battleship" gives me chicken skin running all through my loins.

A huge portion of this video has nothing whatsoever to do with WWII in the Pacific. Maybe it should be retitled "A bunch of unrelated snippets from World War II, very little of which has to do with the war in the Pacific (unless Antwerp has moved and nobody was told).

You might want to change the title and description. This is a different video.

Wrong, the onscreen title is WWII, BATTLES WON AND LOST, the ONLY TITLE THAT MENTIONS THE PACIFIC THEATRE IS THE CHANNEL OWNERS TITLE, TRY READING THE ONSCREEN TITLE.
