Take it up with RUclips then, the series used to be shown on TV before RUclips came along, try watching the TV channel Yesterday if you want the unblurred version.
What's with all the blurred out images? Is this just a youtube thing because I remember seeing these episodes on the Military Channel with all the graphic images intact.
It’s RUclips they will not allow it. Even though in my opinion it’s history. Not every part of history is great. How will the future see how not to conduct themselves
The film of civilians at Saipan committing suicide are films I saw in school as a ten year old kid. Now we can’t see it as adults. Wow, we are really getting soft.
Not sure if you're familiar with this series? All of the youtube episodes are actually a half episode of the original format so decent chance they Is did dive deeper-but you probably would be more upset if they did - their strength is discussing leaders, tactics and strategic level map movement...you COULD talk about those for the air war in Europe of course but most documentaries discuss Performance & pilots.
You could always go and look for the video that dealt with that soley, the title of this video tells you all you need to know what its about. This comment shows you have only just found them and know nothing about how they do things, plus this video is on RUclips whereas it used to be shown on TV.
As I watched the fighting on the Burma Road I see what my cousins, brothers did. 1st Lt Jack L Knight was KIA Feb 2, 1945. He was awarded the Medal Of Honor. His younger brother Curtis Knight was baddly wounded the same day but was able to come home for the ceremony as their father received Jack's medal. It was June 6 1945. One year anniversary of D DAY.
@@RJM1011 Its definitely YT guidelines, your skepticism is healthy but unneccessary. All of the events and facts in this documentary were sourced, confirmed, and historized many years before you and I were born. The specific clips and horrific imagery are viewable online at your personal discretion.
This is ridiculous to blur out parts. 1st of all these are old & have been seen before without being blurred. 2nd, an earlier comment mentioned the fact that this is history. A warning before it's shown or periodically is enough. Most are not interested in gore so that's not what is upsetting. Blurring helps to lose the storyline. Personally, I usually watch something else. It becomes to irritating to watch.
A good documentary but blurring out the images is un historic. . It is something we do not want to see but must to understand how bad war really is . These men were heroes.
Upon the surrender of Japan, some 45,000 Japanese Prisoners of War were in the custody of American authorities in the Philippines. These POWs were held in a number of camps around the country, and were used as labor for war reparation. Gen. MacArthur formed the Philippine War Crimes Commission, while Pres. Sergio Osmeña formed the National War Crimes Office. Both offices supported each other in the pursuit of war crimes trial in Tokyo, and later on the Philippine War Crimes Trial.
8:30 “reconnaissance had failed to reveal that the water was to shallow for the landing craft” That’s not really true. They knew it was possibly too shallow and made sure they had as many Amtrak as possible because of their tracks but estimated the Higgins boats would make it but as it turned out it was too shallow.
I used to love these documentaries, until YT decided to start cecensorship in order to shield us from the reality. Put a content warning or somthin at the beginning. YT you are censoring actual history..
At 24:10, they neglected to mention that in January 1942, FDR had personally promised the Philippine President that we would “never rest” until we had liberated the archipelago.
There's one kamikaze weapon that gives me nightmares: the mini-sub/torpedo. The one where they welded the door shut after the pilot entered into the vehicle & he couldn't get out under any circumstance
The battle of kohima was the fiercest of all the battle and was the turning point of allies victories in second world war,yet it was mentioned in just one sentence.history shouldn't be selective.
What model aquisistion radar antenna is at 19:30? I've alays been curious about the evolution of shipboard radars before my sailing days in the U.S. Navy.
19:05 looks sketchy (not a real CIC in my book, but a training room, maybe), and the guy has a British accent, while people standing around the scope opereator seem interested, all the while having nothing else to do but stand in awe, apparently. Those walls are not navy bulkheads, and why don't I see massive quanties of radio circuts hanging from the overhead and walls?
On the one hand, the Kamikaze program strikes me as sheer madness. On the other hand, Japanese pilots were getting killed in their conventional strikes anyway. So the Japanese military leadership decided that if their pilots were going to die anyway, then they should die in a way which maximized their enemies' casualties.
Narration throws in a Bunch of Unfounded ' Observations '. Video from a Island Landing Different than the One you are talking about at that Time . Seen Worse .
You do not present the Philippines option fairly. Yes, the Philippines would prove costly. But if you would have asked the Filipinos who were American subjects at the time, very few would have said, don't liberate us. And you ignore the American civilians and POWs being held in squalid camps and beginning to starve. Nor do you mention that Formosa (Taiwan) would have been a very tough nut to crack. I was well-defended and mountainous.
Ο Ναύαρχος Γιαμαμοτο ήταν κατά του συμφωνου αλλά ήταν μειοψηφία γιατί σπούδασε στην Αμερική και ήξερε τις δυνατότητες της. Μάλιστα είχε πει αν δεν ήμουν ναυτικος θα πήγαινα στο Μοντεκαρλο καζίνο και θα έκανα περιουσία
4:00 the Navy's plan was far superior to McArthur's; it would have meant many fewer casualties for America. Japan was an island nation, and so subject to isolation by a much superior naval force. McArthur was a political windbag, not an effective strategist.
Sorry But was it The Us Navy Aircraft or Submarines that Sunk 2 Aircraft Carriers. Sorry but it was the Aircraft from Carriers that sunk all 4 Japanese carriers
I would not have sent those boys out on the raid where they'd come back at night really low on fuel! They did not deserve that kind of stress on top of what they were already enduring and what they had already accomplished! The U.S. lost 80 planes and how would you like to run out of fuel over the ocean in a plane at night! Bad call Admiral... I think it was a call of his own personal vendetta against the Japanese and he was not really thinking of his boys.. Then he puts the ships lights on at night which could of got him SUNK the damn fool!
Poor kamikazes. They got scammed by their own superiors and ideology, thinking they were doing something good for their country. Rather they died in vain, supporting a war criminal and his cronies.
We need the uncensored version!
Hey yt, your blurring censorship is criminal. This is history that must be remembered honestly.

I agree! Why are you blurring this video footage? If it’s too graphic or sensitive for the viewer, they need to stop looking at.
We need another platform to show this ! YT is a coward for blurring the bravery of our men in WW2 !
What's with all the blurred out images? Is this just a youtube thing because I remember seeing these episodes on the Military Channel with all the graphic images intact.
Yes. Google, the owner of RUclips, has decided your eyes are too delicate to gaze on the truth. Filthy and disgusting company.
RUclips is a company that does not deserve the success it has.
Who else is tired of these videos blurring out the graphic parts?!? ......
It’s RUclips they will not allow it. Even though in my opinion it’s history. Not every part of history is great. How will the future see how not to conduct themselves
Super annoying blurred scenes. Not trying to watch this ever again.
Blurring out scenes is stupid and is akin to changing history

The longest air battle in the Second World War and this video shows less than 30 seconds of it

My late father was at Leyte. He was an engineer with the Army Air Corps. operating a bulldozer building airfields.
RIP to your father. I honor his service and sacrifice.

It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage documentary...

As several have mentioned before me, STOP THE BLURRING!!!! It all needs to be seen, so that hopefully it never happens again.
Taiwan didn’t exist at this time. The island was called Formosa.
Why censor these pics?? FFS these people gave their lives for our futures!!
Blame RUclips. Either they would pull the video down or the channel wouldn't get any ad revenue
How does not seeing video of a dead person change the information being presented?

This full doc is on Netflix & shows the whole ww2
Why show anything if you're going to blurr it out. RUclips snowflakes are worried they will be triggered by true history.
There's one kamikaze weapon that gives me nightmares: the mini-sub/torpedo. The one where they welded the door shut after the pilot entered into the vehicle & he couldn't get out under any circumstance
He could have steamed towards the Japanese carriers for the night and launched a morning raid. But NO!???? Smooth move X-LAX!

What year is the video at 6:23?
Antennas look pretty advanced.
There is no point watching this video, why not blur out the whole thing.

You kind of left out the Marine Corps when you said that "The U.S. Army took control of the Solomon Islands". [6:20]
Macarthur's ego cost many innocent lives, his ego was a dangerous thing.
Nimitz plan would have been quicker with less loss of life.
RUclips censorship sucks.
Didn't the editors hijack the American master plan towards a more British feel good ending?
what wuold have happend if the us had gone directly to the main island in their first op
Checked the comments b4 watching noticed there's blurring of events....didn't watch it!!
It worked.
So many brave men gave there lives for our freedom and your video is so poor
a suggestion to the editor/publisher of these videos....during your editing phase, instead of blurring scenes, just remove them.
