My father in law was captured in Singapore,,, he said they couldnt belive or understand why the commander surrendered , the men then suffered 4.5 yrs in the JAPANESE POW CAMP
I agree with (200gb3). February15th 1942 to August 1945 is 3years 6months, unless the prisoner of war was in a remote camp, like my father, and was not located until a few weeks after the official end of the war. However, my own father said that a visiting officer General Wavell arrived in Singapore and promised that allied aeroplane help was coming to their aid and “the sky will be black with planes”. Then he jumped on a plane and left Singapore. No planes arrived and in Singapore Colonel Percival, realised they’d been abandoned. I have read many POW books where they give the same account.
My great grandfather was a British pilot in singapore. He was shot down, survived, caught by the Japanese and put into changi prison. He escaped, captured and the caught dysentery and died in changi. He has a gravestone in singapore. The Japanese were horrendous to captured soldiers, there is still a lot of ill feeling against the Japanese by older Australians..
Oops you mean ill feelings against the japanes by older Australians? As I said before when I posted my rebuttal. These older Australians you mentioned are still RACIST and most likely SEXIST.
In their stone and dark age dominians the brits usually fought simple people that had vastly inferior technology, they therefore started to think of themselves as superior fighters. But each time they were confronted with a normal industrialized or even half-industrialized enemy it pretty quickly became clear that they did not know a thing about how to fight properly.
Thank you but , this time i did not like the subtitles , english is my second language therefor when no consistance between spoken and subtitle makes it frustrating to read and listen , everytime a great job , thankyou.
@@creightonhayes5370 Having the subtitles on, and having the subtitles and words in synch, helps him learn the language, so turning off the subtitles was something he was reluctant to do. And I must say that, having had the subtitles on myself at the start of the video, I can confirm they were amazingly different from the spoken words.
It was a great snub and disgrace to the British pride and humiliated them to their roots. They thought themselves to be invincible and were forced to eat the humble pie.
And so we enabled Japan's war against China from 1937 to 1941 by supplying them with over 80 percent of their oil. Keeping Japan too busy to join Germany against the USSR wasn't a priority until then. Japan's occupation of French Indochina was the excuse but that was the reason. The USSR and not Chennault had provided Chaing Kai-shek and the Nationalists with an Air Force from 1937 until then.
Based on your narrative from 4:46-5.15, if your interpretation of Japan's motivation to imitate Britain in expanding its empire is accurate, then perhaps an ancient Middle Eastern wisdom sums it up well: "And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person's envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind." (Ecclesiastes 4:4)
The Imperial Japanese Army Air Force had nothing to do with the attack on Pearl Harbor; it's the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service who carried out the strike.
Sei não, parece que o narrador acredita muito na "bondade" de Stálin em seus planos no pós guerra. Stálin só queria tudo o que seu exército pudesse conquistar para tornar a URSS ainda maior. Sabemos que a bomba atômica não foi a gota d'água para que o Japão se rendesse, mas romantizar Stálin é um tremendo exagero.
The japanese replaced the european colonists for a short Time until they surrendered in august1945 then the countries gained independance but the japanese thanks to usa finances became economically strong in trade Thruout Asia!

Let me being both Scottish & Irish ☘️ be first . He that big COWARD surrendered we had 3 /1 more ammo my grandfather perished bc of big Percival. He dragged 2 women & children & their belongings out in county cork Ireland 🇮🇪 & burned their home to the ground . One of those women was my GG grandmother General Micheal Collins sister Ireland’s bravest son , Percival after WW11 asked to met with the Ex IRA leader Irish Republican Army Tom Barry , I will quote Barry’s words “if he sets foot in Eire 🇮🇪he ain’t leave it alive “ UNQUOTE. He must of thought of my grandfather that perished under that BIG COWARD under brutal Japanese torture & thought what he did to my Irish ancestors. Percival couldn’t lace my GG uncle GENRAL Collins bootlaces ,
Me pregunto por qué en estos videos pone escenas que no tienen nada que ver con el tema. Singapur queda en Asia, entonces la guerra en Europa es otra cosa, que no tiene relación alguna

Did not he get captured for 3.5 years?

Yes.
Mughal Empire and Qing Empire were hardly "stone and dark age" dominions when they fell to the British in the late 18th or early 19th centuries.

Très intéressant, merci beaucoup
Merci beaucoup pour la vidéos
This video is mistitled as "the fall of Singapore". Only a teeny weeny bit is about this.
It did a deep impression in Great Britain, according to witnesses.

Based on your narrative from 4:46-5.15,
if your interpretation of Japan's motivation
to imitate Britain in expanding its empire is accurate,
then perhaps an ancient Middle Eastern wisdom sums it up well:
"And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from
one person's envy of another.
This too is meaningless,
a chasing after the wind."
(Ecclesiastes 4:4)
No Malaysia at that time.....and Singapore was not a country yet.
Le film de l' époque était bien meilleur que celui de la 1er guerre mondiale .... Sans doute que le film prochain sera de toutes couleurs.
The Imperial Japanese Army Air Force had nothing to do with the attack on Pearl Harbor; it's the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service who carried out the strike.

It pretty unforgivable to get rudolf hess the deputy leader mixed up as rudolf hoess.. for historians it
Should be pretty simple
The japanese replaced the european colonists for a short
Time until they surrendered
in august1945 then the countries gained independance but the japanese thanks to usa finances became economically strong in trade
Thruout Asia!
