As a young Marine serving in a small jungle camp in the hills above Subic Bay in the mid 60's I can say that my tour in the Philippines was great. The people were beautiful, kind and gracious. My best times in the Marine Corps were serving in the Philippines. Oh, and the food was awesome.
Although I was born in 1947 one of the few issues my family would speak of was the outrage the American people felt after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. I was not aware that Japan also attacked Clark field and other American Assets in the pacific theater. Five of my uncles enlisted right after these attacks. My father worked at a Steel plant in upstate NY and did not have to go on active duty, he was an enlisted Reserve because he was helping make war materials when the war started. My mother worked in a sewing factory during the war sewing uniforms It was truly a world war. Everyone pitched in.
My late father was at Leyte. Dad was an Army Air Corps engineer building air strips. Specifically, he operated a bulldozer. He said he saw Gen. MacArthur sometime after the landing.
Thank you for sharing this great documentary, RIP to the everyone who lost their lives, and honor every one who served. And never forget that day, December 7 1941. GOD bless and STAY SAFE. Semper FI 86-91
@masoncross-omoc I dont think he was dissing anything at all. So much history is condensed into one documentary. This video could be 10 hours long and it still wouldnt have covered everything in perfect detail.
I was stationed on Okinawa 1970-72 Worked with surviving Japanese WWII veterans, and Okinawans, to help rebuild Okinawa's inner structure. There were many protesters who wanted the US military to leave. I witness the Koza riots, and Okinawa's freedom from the American occupation in 1972. I fell in love with Okinawa, and the people.
I am Japanese. Honestly, Japan lost, but I think it's good that America won. However, what's regrettable is the decline in America's influence. If China takes over from the United States, the world would truly become unfortunate. America, please be more resolute.
Luckily, there's a hefty chunk of the federal government hellbent on maintaining Pax Americana, because it's in America's interest, so China has more obstacles than we see from the outside looking in.
You are very lucky you surrended to the US rather than the Soviets otherwise under there occupation Japan would be corrupt from communism same like North Korea but thanks to general Douglas McArthur who became your new leader made it bigger and better than it ever was the people became obsessed with him giving him the nickname of "the gental conqueror".
My Uncle Dalton was there for almost the entire journey. In early 1942, he was a U.S. Army Master Sergeant command an anti aircraft artillery battery on the island of Corregidor. When the Rock surrendered, he was made a prisoner of war. He was forced into the Batman Death March. Many Americans and Philippines died of starvation dehydration and exhaustion during the march. Then he was put in a containmentt camp where many more died. Then he was put into a He'll Ship for transport to Japan. Many more died of heat stroke, dehydration and dysentery. When they arrived in japan, they were forced to march through the streets of Nagasaki while civilians and military beat and poked at them with sticks. At the outskirts of the city they we forced to work as slave labor in coal mines with little food, water and no medical trestment. He was in the mine when Boxcar dropped the Plutonium bomb. He weighed barely 80 lbs when rescued by American troops. IRONY * While Uncle Dalton was a prisoner, two other uncles were working at Oakridge, Tennessee enriching uranium for the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. My Aunt Maggie was a Navy nurse in the Pacific on a hospital ship. She was wounded when the red cross marked ship was strafed and bombed by Japanese planes. My cousin was an infantryman fighting Japanese on the Aleutian islands. While bullet entire his fatigues he was not wounded. But, he did suffer from n frost bite as a result of having only summer clotying. My father was in the OSS in Europe and parachuted into Normandy before June 6. He traveled from France to Holland to Belgium (including Bastogne) and then on into Germany. I last saw my Uncle Dalton in 1967, after graduating from Fort Poll's Tiger land AIT (Infantry, RVN Oriented). He was still suffering from his bad treatment by the Japanese.
Your family made remarkable contributions to the war effort. But you surely mean the BATAAN Death March. To call it 'Batman' is a howler bordering on plain disrespectful.
Warning. Do not cite this material as fact. Example: There was NO pre-invasion shelling of Guadalcanal. The first shells to land were on August 7, day of invasion. MacArthur was not Supreme Commander. Rather, he was in charge of the Army and the southern and western Pacific. Nimitz was in charge of the central theater. But there are lots of facts, so just enjoy.
Man o man, they were the greatest generation. All my respect, fathers and grandfathers.. we got nuthin like you guys were... Mac, Chet, "Howlin Mad", Stilwell, "Blood & Guts", Brad, Spruance, Stark, Doolittle, Merrill, Ike, even Franklin... not to mention so many others on down to the grunts, jarheads, swabbies, and all the home-front people without whom it would have been impossible, and who kept the whole business on track... And while all this was going on, their other arm was fighting Italy and Germany and supplying the British and Russians...
This documentary takes some real big short cuts to over simplify events. Crucial early Australian victories in Papua at Milne Bay and the Kokoda trail are just not there. Nimitz was not part if the fleet at the Coral Sea, the Soviet declaration of war and invasion of Matchukwo was really important, and so on, and so on.
@@KangaJack-ns9gdnot. But the point of view was stated at the beginning so it's pointless to point out the things that were left out. And they left out whole heaps even from the US perspective. The documentary was decent but really more of a long winded summary of the whole thing. Leaving out Taffy three contribution at leyti is criminal in my opinion.
There are many inaccuracies in this video. McArthur did not fly out when he left the Philippines, he left on a PT boat. To say there was nothing he could do is inaccurate, he did everything wrong. The way he tried to defend the Philippines was neglectful and maybe criminal. He disobeyed every prewar plan that was in place.
Looking at the audio levels for the History Hit in the timeline! Look at how much louder it is! Come one guys, be professional and normalize your audio using compression! Or don't, I'll fall asleep to the version without the annoying ad anyway.
The Guadalcanal Campaign was not led by McArthur. He struck a deal with Admiral King to let the Marines land at Guadalcanal. Also, the Japanese were not waiting for the Americans. They only had a small construction crew there building the airfield. The Japanese reenforced the island a few days after they realized the attack on Guadalcanal was THE Allied main attack.
I really like this channel.. but you gotta have an option to mute the music. It’s ridiculously overdramatised.. don’t put music to bombing and executions . It doesn’t work. I just want the info.. cause your history and analysis is great.
Sure enough, in Australia and soon in Hawaii, it's December 7th. For me it is important, as being a What If/Alternative World History guy, while I do change history up (keeping close to reality), there are some events I kept as they are. Peral Habour is one I don't charge and most important of that.
@@SLYRHD as someone whose lost their brothers in Iraq, first off, can you identify anyone by name? If so who? Soldiers want civilians to see the reality of war, as a civilian it's okay you don't understand.
@@thesixth2330 my grandfather was in the battle of the bulge so I’d have a pretty good idea of it. My grandfather watched his best friends head get blown off and I’m sure he wouldn’t want that to be broadcasted to the world. You don’t have to see something to comprehend the horrors that happen in this world.
Command of the Guadalcanal campaign was disputed but ultimately cammand was given to Admiral Nimitz and the Navy, not McCarther. Admiral Fletcher commanded the overall expaditionary force while Admiral Turner commanded amphibius forces with Vandergrift leading the 16k ground troops. Yall should fix that, especially considering most Marines cant stand McCarther. The only time we've had to surrender was because he surrendered us then abandoned us.
The worst defeat was bataan when the soliders were running out of supplies why didn't reinforcements arrive cause that's how the japs overwhelmed and defeated the allies?🤔
Oh now I know it's because with the Navy decimated by attacks on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, there were no ships capable of delivering reinforcements to Bataan and that's why the Japs became the first Asian country to not only suffer the largest air raid bombardment but the first to be nuked the air raid from 1942 to 5 killed 900k and the atom bombs killed 236k so it was revenge and justice for all✊🏾 including the Chinese and Koreans who were the first to suffer at there hands.
MacArthur was despised by almost all the troops under him, but he was the One who devised the island hopping Campaign in the Pacific theatre. It's true he was a prima Donna and over Estimated the defenses of the Philippines, but at that point in time, The IJA was a juggernaut that steamrolled everything in front of it. But as the fighting intensified, and their losses mounted, they couldn't Sustain their offensive attacks. Amd add in the manpower and materiel Production advantages we had it was only a matter of time till they were forced to capitulate ending the war in the Pacific and bringing the war to a close.
@BrucePerkins-mc3hp Lt. Col. Pete Ellis USMC developed the island hopping strategy in 1921. "Operations Plan 712-H: Advanced Base Operations in Micronesia" McCarther was doing what he did best, stealing credit to gain glory.
Grognards will have a lot of erroneous details to bemoan, but the documentary covered the overhead view of the Pacific war adequately, and the music throughout was a bonus.

The japanese imperial army did not fear death. they were some adversary for the Americans to take on and win against. A lot of grit and determination. Documentary also included really interesting details about the australians involvement that most don't mention.
Great documentary. Some extremely brave men, on both sides. The Japanese were regarded as some of the best soldiers. There was awesome men in every army. Along with tyrants and animals. War brings out both the best and worst in men.
…and the Japaneses diplomats flew to Washington? With a clip of Howard Hughes landing his Lockheed Vega after his record breaking trans-continental flight @ 7:12. Go figure?
Excellent...do men like these exist anymore...or are we left with those who analyze, criticize, and reap rewards they couldn't die for even in their dreams. America that was beautiful. Great people died for a real cause. Sad tho learn of Phillipine death and horrific Japenese death. But, someone had to win and tragically there were high costs.
As a Chinese American I’m proud Chinese have fought shoulder to shoulder with Americans to fight a way with good course. Under CCP ruling I’m deeply saddened the two people barely understand earth other.
This is for all those who don't know war to see what it is like to be in a war situation, unfortunately humanity never learn a lesson we keep on making weapons of mass destruction and advocating for war, which is very sad
Absolutely great documentary. Great narrative and narrator. Even his tonal inflections add to the drama.

Documentary also included really interesting details about the australians involvement that most don't mention.
Great documentary. Some extremely brave men, on both sides. The Japanese were regarded as some of the best soldiers. There was awesome men in every army. Along with tyrants and animals. War brings out both the best and worst in men.
…and the Japaneses diplomats flew to Washington? With a clip of Howard Hughes landing his Lockheed Vega after his record breaking trans-continental flight @ 7:12. Go figure?
Good documentary, but the censorship was ridiculous. I can’t give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
Sowwy but had to turn you guys into some Hot Pockets!!!
The boys and young men of WWII were the bravest of the brave. The young men of this generation are weak compared to them. It’s a shame.
All 92,000.00 are cowards afraid to die in fighting but not afraid to die without a fight
Excellent...do men like these exist anymore...or are we left with those who analyze, criticize, and reap rewards they couldn't die for even in their dreams. America that was beautiful. Great people died for a real cause. Sad tho learn of Phillipine death and horrific Japenese death. But, someone had to win and tragically there were high costs.
MacArthur was a fiasco. I can see that even if I never fought in the Philipines.
Whats the bloody point is showing a blured out screen.
It's the RUclips TOS. Pretty ridiculous sometimes.
My dad was in the US Navy in world war II on a light aircraft carrier called the Hancock' that was a tough war in the Pacific
On the thumbnail, cover the bottom part of the atomic explosion and tell me that doesn't look like a hot pocket.
1:33:00 the thrilla in manilla
As a Chinese American I’m proud Chinese have fought shoulder to shoulder with Americans to fight a way with good course. Under CCP ruling I’m deeply saddened the two people barely understand earth other.
Excellent coverage of the Pacific War!
Too many ads 👎
Stop being broke
This is for all those who don't know war to see what it is like to be in a war situation, unfortunately humanity never learn a lesson we keep on making weapons of mass destruction and advocating for war, which is very sad
Para Bellum.... 😷😷😷😷
