I listened to this because my father was at Pearl Harbor, December 7th 1941. He really was a little crazy my entire life. He was 40 something when I was born, there was no help for veterans like him back then , except mailing him drugs that made him even crazier. God Bless all the American soldiers, may they come home soon and safe and not to crazy. Amen
The song at the beginning of the clip is "I Can't Give You Anything but Love, Baby," it was quite popular in the 30s. It was also featured in the movie "Bringing up Baby" (1938).
"She's" not wrong... unfortunately the Japanese weren't right either... anyway, nissan skylines and daikin aircons might slap harder then a right hand with 24k gold rings on each finger... but lest we forget 🇦🇺
She convinced me !!!! :) Also, if you get a chance, check out what North Korea has to say about the US. You will be surprised. It is quite good and to the point.
? What? You do know Japan had that coming right? Have you ever heard of the Rape of Nanjing? It was the reason we were so against Japan, and then Pearl Harbor was the last straw.
@@jeezed2950 americans didn't give a shit about Nanking until they needed an excuse to hate japan more than pearl harbor gave them, which the US provoked. if america really gave a shit about the "evil" japan did they wouldn't of let the members of unit 731 get away without any charges just because the US benefited from what they learned.
20alphabet Are you talking about Iva Toguri who was charged as 'Tokyo Rose'? She was in Japan after graduating from UCLA to visit a sick Aunt on a temporary visa document. It was the first time she saw Japan and felt alienated and disliked the food. After Pearl Harbor she tried to return home but they didn't accept the travel documents given to her a month prior. She was forced to move out from her Aunt's house and threatened to revoke her US citizenship or be imprisoned. She refused to become a Japanese citizen, but the authorities told her it would cost too much to feed her three times a day so she should go on her own and get a job. She worked as an English typist for several news outlets and Tokyo Radio. An American prisoner of war, General Cozzins, was tasked to make a Radio show by the POW for the American troops in the Pacific and for Japanese propaganda. He requested Iva by name and she was forced, not asked, to read a script and audition. She became 'Orphan anne,' the disk jockey for the Radio Show called 'The Zero Hour.' The script was incredibly flippant and sarcastic and it often held clues to warn American troops of Japanese bombings. Iva used what little money she made to buy medicine and food for the American POW in camps in Japan. She also used the money to give Australian POW, who were also working as disk jockeys for Radio Tokyo, better food in exchange for slipping pro American sentiments into their broadcasts. Although the scripts she was forced to read called the American troops knuckleheads and boneheads, she ultimately risked her life to save other lives. After the war she had to wait to come back to America, but when she did, she was put on trial. She was given the chance to abandon her US citizenship and be free/shipped back to Japan, or be put on trial. She refused and was detained and tried. She was charged with Treason and given a sentence of 10 years and a $10,000 fine. She was later given a presidential pardon in the 70s after it was found two witnesses were coached by the US government for months on end and that they had destroyed many of the records of her radio show (thus proving her innocence.) Her surviving broadcasts and the memories Veterans had of Orphan Anne backed up her innocence and sacrifice for the American people. She was an unsung American hero who never made broadcasts like the one shown in this propaganda short. The term 'Tokyo Rose' even predates her first broadcast! She was an escape goat for the fictional figure 'Tokyo Rose,' a figment of the US's collective imagination of their Pacific enemy during WWII. She was a strong patriot and paid dearly because of it.
Iva Toguri was orphan annie, she was not the one that they really wanted, the one that they wanted is the one you hear on this propaganda film. they could not catch her so Iva Toguri was the fall guy, the Auzzy all ways expected that the Voice of Truth was an American European, she might off been a POW.
southerneruk Because Tokyo Rose never existed as a singular person. It was a catch-all name for all Japanese propaganda broadcasters that Americans back home took as a singular entity.
Yes we know that, but the ones that USA really wanted was the ~Voice of Truth. so orphan annie filled to spot. Voice of Truth was never captured or even found who she really was.
It was more complicated than that. Toguri Ikuko was born and raised in California, went to Japan to visit a sick relative in 1940 on a Certificate of Identification (she didn't have a passport. and when she tried to return home after Pearl Harbor, the US State Dept refused to certify her citizenship. So she was stuck in Japan, and when she refused Japanese government demands to renounce her US citizenship, she was denied a war ration card. In 1943, she was forced, along with Allied prisoners of war, to make propaganda broadcasts. Her superior was an Australian POW. She eventually served 6 years in prison, but Gerald Ford gave her a full pardon in 1977.
I don't understand what propaganda value this film had for American soldiers. If anything it almost seems like an enemy propaganda film meant to demoralize us.
@@EojinsReviews yeah..it is a very common tactic. Soldiers in Vietnam got to experience the same thing. The American people that watch The Communist News Network and MSLSD here crap like this 24/7 365. It's the whole reason we are on the brink of a civil war right now.
No, this film wasn't meant for American soldiers, it was meant for the American public. It presents a hypothetical Tokyo Rose broadcast (I'm 99% sure it's not a real one) where the Japanese use news of American labor and consumer discontent to demoralize the American troops. The point is to tell American workers and the public to stop complaining and to unite behind the war (and buy war bonds), so that the Japanese won't have any real headlines they could use as fodder for their broadcasts. It's all a bit meta in that way. At first I was surprised that an American film would be so dark about discussing the war, but once I realized its angle, it's actually kind of brilliant. As the description said, Iva Toguri (the only person I'm aware of who was publicly linked to these types of broadcasts) didn't make recordings like these. She and the Australian POW who helped write the scripts appear to have attempted to satirize the whole concept of propaganda, which is something that would have required a more nuanced understanding of English to catch and likely got past Japanese censors for that reason. The voice in this film is definitely not Toguri's.
It was anti-USA propaganda, meant to break the spirits of the troops, and make them feel like their efforts were futile. However, it was worded in a way that would make them want to listen instead of immediately turning it off. As you pointed out, it sounds non-aggressive and almost sympathetic for the Americans. But still, it was depressing and meant to take their hearts, spirits, and minds out of the fight.

Tokyo Rose for anyone who doesn’t know, was not a singular person. These were American citizens or POW forced into broadcasted propaganda.
There were at least 20, maybe more.
I haven't found any sources that say that these were individuals were forced. What is your source that says they were?

Correct, the famous one pardoned by Gerald Ford was actually known as "Ann" and "Orphan Annie"
