My uncle fought, with the Canadians, at Vimy, Passchendaele and others. He survived those battles, but not the war.

It is still... Hard to believe!!

Just imagine what the families of those late heroes might have felt when emperor Hirohito decleared Japan's loss. Thier children died a gruesome death and damn, they couldn't even bury them properly, than Japan loses the war. Now this is a situation when I wouldn't blame anybody if they just wanted to end it all I salute the pilots died for thier beloved and those who lost them in the war Greetings from Hungary 🇯🇵❤️🇭🇺

Do you have any information about that man in the last picture?

My late grandfather served in the Japanese Army during World War II. He didn't talk much about the war, but he once told me something I'll never forget: "In those days, everyone said it was an honor to die for Japan, but no one was truly willing to die."

4.05 is Kiyoshi Ogawa, not Hayashi taro and his plane is not shot down. He flew his aircraft into the USS bunker Hill and 5.23 is Seizō Yasunori, He died at age 21 not 23. Please do some research before making a video

they could heard the artillery barrages in London in ww1. a friend of mine was born in the blitz in ww2.;

I would not let anybody suffer on my watch.

It was not called The Battle of Passchendaele but Third Ypres. Passchendaele was 12th and last battle of that offensive.

Tolkiens wrote about the Dead Marshes .. about his WW1 life... Lord of the Rings, starts also with huge armies at War. (WW1) We never learn .

I’m English and my great great grandfather died here. Don’t know how but he has a cross in a war cemetery in Belgium.

Interesting to know if any of these men survived and attempted communicating after the war.

The first one is so sad, knowing that Japan lost..

respect all these brave men.....

It wasn't just the modern artillery, modern arms, trenches, and mechanised warfare that made World War One the first modern war. Earlier wars had these things. It was all of these things in industrial massive amounts, constantly, and what it does to the ground, water, and air of the battlefield. No other war, up to then, made even mother nature a tireless physical attacking enemy month after month, year after year. Mother nature is always dirty and sneaky with committing wholesale slaughter by disease, but now every army in Europe fought two terrible enemies, aiming to destroy their soldiers, the enemy's army and mother nature herself by carrying poisoned air, by flooding, and by ever present monster most dreaded, mud. The mud sticks upon wounds and bodies, it pulls against anything wishing to move, it drowns those that it can grab and hold down by the hundred and by the thousand and this monster was well fed with flood water, clay, soil, blood, waste, and constant quickest churning by shells, the like not ever seen before into fathoms of qiuicksand like mud. It defies walking, if defies swimming, if defies survival of any soldier or horse or even tank in its full grasp. This is not hell, for hell is paradise compared to this. The worst thing of it is that generation after generation will have to face this fiend in this manner, no going back, for the first of the warnings was Passchendaele.

I’d be a statistic

You learn something new everyday.

this video is totally biased and just want to show kamikaze as forced people to suicide, when was not totally like this.

I am Japanese, born after the war. But if I had to do this to protect my country and my family, I think I would do it. There are sometimes important things than your life. Maybe western way of thinking is different. But not to make this happen is the most important thing which I know.

Hell on earth, and just to top it off, record breaking amounts of rain. That's so cruel. God has a sick sense of humor sometimes.

It must never happened again

This is so underrated. I'm glad I was able to watch this video.

So sad

I dont feel sorry for any of them.

the emperor is has no honor

This is so fukin sad

Imagine you strive your entire life to be the person that you want to be, only to have some man in a suit tell you that you need to kill yourself for king and country. This is so immensely sad

Damn dude this is wild. What an awesome idea for a video +1sub

I am here because my ancestor died in this battle, and I'm trying to learn more. I don't know how he died, only when he died and that his name is on the Menin Gate memorial.

They killed others. Don't forget that.

I just spent the last 9 months fighting in the trenches and villages of the Donbas in Ukraine. Russian heavy artillery constantly raining down. If you ever want to chat, I'll describe exactly what it's like or you can see how the patrols went....

Underrated channel! earn my subscribes and deserved more Subscribers!

Thanks for fixing the audio issue I can understand I make vids too and I like ur content so I thought I should say something. Great vid man, it’s a tough topic. I’m reading a book called the Gulag archipelago right now and it’s really rough. Would be cool to see a video about the gulag..

The Japanese, Americans, Italians, & Germans all had suicide troops. The first 2 American naval suicide pilots hit Japanese aircraft carriers, the Japanese, Italians, & Germans had suicide torpedoes. None, to my knowledge, accomplished anything. Most of the Italian navy didn't agree with war & realized that Benito was a stupid dictator, so they floated out into the oceans & avoided the war altogether. German suicide pilots hit American bombers head on & destroyed bridges. The Americans simply rebuilt the bridges the next day. I learned to speak Japanese growing up from my Aunt Ann. The American people chose to learn either German, Japanese, or Italian in case America lost the war. After the war, nobody was willing to be caught speaking any of those languages for fear of sounding like spies & sympathizers. It was like the Indians of Mexico learning to speak Spanish after Spain conquered Mexico. Spanish is now the national language of Mexico.

"Anyone who has looked into the glazed eyes of a dying Soldier will think hard before starting a War" - Otto von Bismarck

And the hypocrite Imperor who ordered this nonsense lived till 1989. Im not even Japanes but damn it makes me mad for whom we were dying for.

The quality of your video editing and information is very good. I don't think I've ever come across any videos about this particular topic.

I love the term socialist utopia even though there has never been one or ever will be. it is a great fantasy in the socialist brain.

My Dad fought there. With the 10th Battalion C.E.F. The very same battalion immortalized in Paul Gross's movie. Much of whats in the video was told to me by him shortly before he passed.

First time I've genuinely cried in months. Great video.

WOW HE TOOK OUT 150 AMERICANS THATS FUCKEN TIGHT ! WAT A SACRIFICE THE 1ST GUY DID YOUR WIFE WAS PLEASED . SHE DIDNT GET RAPED, INSTEAD THEY GET INCINERATED BY NUKE dam americans. i just happened to spawn in america but i dnt like this place and the things we do to the world

Taking away selfhood just like the people who you are tasked to bomb. Were

Don't make war against the world

My grand uncle shell shocked at passchendaele

Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die. A very true quote.

My great grandfather enlisted with the 8th Battalion 1st AIF immediately at the start of the war and fought at Gallipoli and then the Western Front including Paschendale and most of the other big battles such as Ypres, The Somme, the Hindenberg Line and Amiens. He survived all the way through and was repatriated in 1919. His regimental number was 10 so he was very quick to enlist. He made it home without being shot but was a gas casualty though he of course survived. Not many that enlisted at the start were still there at the end in 1918.

The sound bite is absolutely terrifying, wow

and the war goes on..

Gears of History, very interesting video about Passchendaele. Thank you for providing a very engaging experience, you helped me truly visualize and personify the horrors of this conflict. Simply receiving a taste imagining it, it is so powerfully clear to me how much I would never want to be a part of it. Your storytelling is unique. Thank you for giving me somebody else to pray for.

You all need a new narrator that can articulate each word properly
