Audio is failing.

For those who can't read.

I cant listen to the narrators voice.

Nagumo (& Kido Butai) had never been in a carrier v carrier battle. Yorktown (w/ Fletcher) was MVP because it wasn't their 1st dance. Fletcher was fast when he sent TF 16 out first. Yorktown launched the only coordinated US strike, which was devastating. Yorktown learned from Lexington, drained the fuel lines and survived the dive bombers and decoyed the torpedoes. Fletcher & Yorktown didn't need a study group at the war college to sort out the lessons of Coral Sea. Nagumo was a rookie and it showed.

These are the coolest . Thanks for posting and keep it up

The zero wasn’t better the Wildcat was superior and had similar performance and better armor and by war’s end had a 6:1 kill ratio

Roosevelt new damn well the Japa were heading for Pearl. He started the fight in the Pacific by blocking the Japanese fuel convoys . Roosevelt baited and pulled out the Aircraft Carriers knowing full well that Pearl was about to be attacked. This was done on purpose to put the US into the European theater and feed the big business of making war something Roosevelt loved more than life itself. Roosevelt hoodwinked the Country along with the Japs.FDR was the most evil President who ever held the office.

Washington failed Hawaii but, of course, scapegoated Kimmel and Short.

I just realized that I can find the book and read that instead of listening to this ridiculous A I drivil

Must be weird to go from all out war, and your foes are just going about their business like there's not a war going on.

I love this stuff. The backstory of the conditions, people and places leading up to the biggest conflict in human history is fascinating.

Most boring one yet

Make Mt. Maga Great Again! 🎉

Geneva Convention? I hate to break it you, there are no rules of war. How many lives and generations did these German pow's erase from the face of the earth? Spending the money and resources of U.S. citizens to keep them alive was a mistake.

Total studs ! Greatest generation is no doubt The greatest generation ever ! Im proud my Dad US Army Air Force member serve in the South Pacific and made it back in one piece. He was the only survivor of a PT boat sunk by a enemy submarine. He was picked up 2 weeks later in a raft . He never mentioned this to our family till his brother told me about it at my Dads funeral!

Nagumo was a butt pirate

did anyone tell this guy that youtube is for VIDEOS!

No shit…. The Yanks leveraged all the assets it maintained and ascendency on vs Japan and rode that bounty of natural gifts into a position of unmitigated dominance in the Pacific theatre very sharply. The history channel love to purport it was some ‘close run’ toss of the coin sort of thing… of course it never ever was.

So, obviously this thing called Artificial Intelligence is too stupid to pronounce many common words. PAY SOMEBODY TO NARRATE!

😮

an interesting discussion of the evolution of navy and marine corps doctrine up to WW2.

I am a proud child of two WW2 veterans. My mother was a Wave and my dad was a Seabee. They were both from the same small town and didn't meet until after the war. My mother was probably a typist in Navy intelligence but I say "probably" because she would never talk about what she did. She was sworn to secrecy and took it to her grave. Dad spoke very little about it. The greatest generation.

If AI is so smart why can't it speak English without stupid mistakes?

Is this garbage created by AI

Thanks for showing a single picture of a Japanese seaplane while you read a history book. You must have a PhD in World War ii.😂😂😂

Make no mistake, in certain quarters seniority was a very touchy subject in the USN as well, but not as much as in some army situations

Computer voice sucks.

This has the same accent and cadence as one of another series of WWII histories. But there are some really odd mispronunciations, inconsistently applied. An AI miracle?

The narrator is claiming the Japanese Navy attacked the battleships in Pearl Harbor instead of going for the aircraft carriers, which is misleading. The carriers were the most highly prized of the ships to be bombed and torpedoed, but all the carriers were out on training cruises on December 7, 1941. The battleships were still capital ships at the time so blowing them up was still a huge victory for Japan. Just not as big as the Japs had thought it was.... Why does this channel have several episodes with the same number? For instance, I've watched a few Episode # 1's here. Sometimes the video will show the war in Europe, still with "Episode # 1". or "Episode # 2", etc., I've gone to the channel but the list is as messed up as the list is.... at least it's entertaining.

What ship is on the screen at 30 minutes in? IJN

Going to watch these video's whilst playing Cold waters 😊

I've watched them all multiple times and I really would like more please

Nazis denying being Nazis - that sounds about right. Instant amnesia. How convenient. Should have sent them to Stalin.

Is this an AI narration? some of the words are very oddly pronounced.

Doolittle and his men HAD to know there was a really good chance this was going to be a one-way ride..but the notion of being the first American to give these sons of the emperor a preview of coming attractions was a temptation they just couldn't pass up..but the B-25's were one thing...wait til they see the B-29's....

Hitlers decisions lost them the war. Plus him trusting some Generals that talked him out of the original Operation Barbarossa, where they first would have captured Murmansk and oil fields and then starved the Russians to their death. Capturing Murmansk, would have stopped aid from USA coming to Russia...without that aid, Russia would not have survived the first winter. Generals wanted to capture Moscow and win the war that way, almost worked, Stalin was ready to surrender but then Hitler halted the assault on Moscow and sent the tanks south, that decision most likely lost them the war. As Stalin was in total panic, no defensive lines around Moscow, no army left to protect Moscow. When Hitler halted the assault, That gave Stalin time to calm down, get defensive lines dug, and the army from Siberia to come to their aid and set up positions but even then that wouldn't have been enough, without the Mud season and Winter starting. General Mud saved Moscow and Russia from defeat. Another stupid decision was the first jet fighter planes, they were placed into mass production in 1942 behind Hitlers back, when Hitler found out about it, he went into a rage and stopped the mass production, he said he is the one that makes the decision not the luftwaffe. When the planes was finally allowed into mass production late 1944, no changes was made to them from the ones in 1942 and in the air they were superior. Only during takeoff and landing where they easy to take out. That decision most likely lost them the war. If they had thousands of jetfighters up the air, in 1943 the allies would have suffered heavy losses in the air and never got the upper hand and not done the long range bombing runs into Germany. Many other decisions made that caused heavy losses to Germany by Hitler. But these 2 decisions lost them the war, either one decision not made, and Germany might have won in the end. Both not made and they would have won the war.

that's accualy a lie, they knew

It must have been really jarring for Japanese that only heard official propaganda during the war to learn about how it had actually played out long after the war

Gambier Bay, not Gambler Bay.

enjoyed and learned much from the video. a map of Guadalcanal would have been a great addition.

Lucky bastards

Great naval events with The Taffies. Appreciate the details of the battle. Thanks for your time and efforts.

Standing in line to tour the New Jersey I met a man from the Ommaney Bay. He had quite the story

I have spent much of my life studying the Pacific war and am familiar with many aspects of it. But the readings from this channel have so immensely personalized these battles and the hardships suffered by ordinary men. And they have So inspired an awe and appreciation for those ordinary men who did such extraordinary things. Thank you so much!

Riveting account. Joe McGraw's account of his attack on the 18 Vals, told to me in person, differed in some details from the account herein. His 4 plane flight, depicted in a painting Joe made, made a near simultaneous beam attack on the VAls, (I would have sworn they were Kates) with each fighter taking out a bomber before the escort could intervene. As the Zeros attacked, Joe turned into them and shot down the leader's wingman. Joe and the Zero leader then turned into each other for a head on pass. Joe said that was the tightest he ever turned the FM-2 and put some rounds into the Zero's engine. The last Joe saw, the Zero was diving away with its engine smoking. He said the Zero leader was a real pro but who had probably not seen a Wildcat since Guadalcanal. He likely did not expect the improved performance of the FM-2. In later years, Joe tried to find the identity of the Zero leader but the last I heard, he had no luck. Joe ended the war with 5 kills and a probable (the Zero leader was unconfirmed).

Thank you for posting this... it was very interesting
