@@GlennMarden true. Insomnia is more like putting this on and trying to go to sleep, failing, watching the whole thing, then maybe getting an hour of shuteye before the alarm goes off and sends you into a deep depression.
In regard to the Rape of Nanking, the assertion that "the brutality of war breeds more brutality" does not explain the barbarity of the Japanese, After all, the British, French and American soldiers who advanced into Germany in 1945 did not display any such savagry towards the German population even equal to what the nazis had done, let alone in excess of what they had done.Nor did they approach the levels of brutality that the Japanese did in the Pacific war.
It’s always so strange for me when people think they are “weird” for relatively normal things. Like if you see “I sleep on a bed made of ball bearings and listen to French gangster wrap to sleep” yeah weird. I watch documentaries to sleep, not weird
I am really a docu diehard, and this docu opload is intens and extreme in so many ways. This subject is Close by for me both of my parents where teens in ww2 my mother in Holland and my father in Indonesia back than the Dutch Indies my mother experiance the German invasion and my father the Japanese invasion Don 't get my wrong this is a great docu but for me it isn't a good sleeping remedy what my parents tolt my where basicly the daily things in war a friend in school that didn't came back constanty on the run for a safe place and the creative things they came with to get enough food for their families. So for them it was not about the big battles sometimes there was somebody who built a radio to get information from the BBC, for me was the war close by when i trough food in the bin, my mother shout in this house we Don 't trow food in the bin so thanks for this upload and mam and dad thanks you for the love and wisdom you gave us RIP❤ sweet mom and dad

Like... yes. It was total war in world war 2. That's what some people called it. Many people. Please stop. I don't need you saying total war every 30 seconds! 🤣
It’s part of the script. It’s a literary device to drive that principle into your mind, and to connect each atrocity and decision to the philosophy of Total War. It’s an important choice.
hey guys its me i,m currently starting this i will be watching the whole video and giving a infinitesimal summarization of what happened lets hope i can get through this
I like how Japan just gets a pass for all their genocide smh. Also love how people forget they refused to surrender. Also the justification for the bombs is easy it came down to a choice send millions into a grinder over there to kill millions or drop 2 bombs and end the war.
Lol, i was about to play this and fall asleep, then i read your comment and heard how loud Hitler was screaming, now ill look for another video, don't want to jump-scare my entire family 😂
I love how these historians claim that the bombs weren't necessary although I bet if it was one of them assigned to land on the beaches of Japan and fight another year or two to defeat the Japanese and no telling how many more civilians would've been killed. The Japanese started that war by bombing us it was only right that we ended it with a bigger bomb.
So, Japan actually tested out biological/chemical weapons on China. They sent down the bubonic plague via bombs, and a few other really bad and deadly diseases as a test. Japan actually had planned on dropping those types of biological/chemical weapons on/in the United States on/around the first week in September. So by the USA dropping the two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it actually caused Japan to surrender (obviously), but it prevented an attack which could very well have turned the tide of the war in the pacific. The European campaign was already finished back in May 1945, and Japan surrendered at sometime in August 1945.
Island hopping was bad enough as it is. Just imagine storming the heart of the army responsible for it. The Japanese were so extreme in WW2 we would’ve basically experienced the Vietnam war in 1945 rather than the mid 70’s. Having to fight civilians and venture through jungles laced with traps and ambush tunnels. That already happened in the islands but it would’ve been way worse in their homeland I bet
I hard disagree. Collective punishment is immoral. Also the will of the Japanese forces are highly overstated. They were already crushed and forced onto the main islands. They had almost no raw materials or food stocks coming in, and their military was extremely weakened. While there are stories of Japanese soldiers fighting for DECADES onwards, there’s no real reason to believe that they would continue the fight if the Americans had been able (and we definitely were going to eventually) to capture the emperor and force capitulation that way. In reality Truman wanted to put the Soviets and the rest of the world on notice of the atom bombs. ALSO it’s a soldier and sailors job to fight and if necessary die for their nation, but that isn’t the job of civilians. The bloodthirsty nature of that perspective is what leads to the justification of war crimes and genocides.
i mean, with total war, everyone is kinda involved with the fighting....just a different fight, in todays age, there is the battle front, and the home front, without factory workers squeezing out shells, guns, tanks and airplanes, what are you gonna fight the war with? its just a different kind of fight, total war is not fought on the front line but on the factory floor, its a whole lot harder to pump out enough equipment than to tell your soldiers to run that way. You misunderstand the term, total war doesnt mean your gonna fight the war totally, it means you are going to use every recourse, every man woman and child, and the entire economy TOTALLY in the war effort in order to achieve victory. totally everything is going to be put towards the war effort, not just in fighting specifically, but in production, and every other aspect of your entire civilization, if you looked at germany, especially during the great war, literally every aspect of the entire civilization, the entire nation was used towards the war effort, not just factories producing equipment, but even livestock, and grain, every single thing being used for the war, thats what total war means
@@loremastertimmy4048this is super spot on. I don't think war will ever be fought the same again, in terms of how an entire country would be concentrated on the war efforts with how technology has changed, the need for manpower has definitely differed. I feel like if we do head toward global conflict the most damage will be done from behind screens and computers, and also possibly would see much more open civilian resistance to being an active part of the war effort.
I find it so hard to believe that the Western countries and the British Imperial regime did not see WW2 coming, and comes out with a nuclear bomb. it is just so odd.
They said only 25 Japanese were prosecuted for war crimes in the Tokyo trials. However, I've read from other sources that over 1000 Japanese were executed for war crimes. Not just found guilty and given prison sentences. Executed meaning put to death. Not sure where they got their sources from and which one of them is true.
Civil liberty violation,interment camps,is understandable during war but IN HUMANE,BARBARIC,VIOLENT TREATMENT IS DIFFERENT and America interment camps WERE Humane,NOT Barbaric, and as a practice NONVIOLENT. Can you say the same about Japanese and German interment camps?
I was in Japan in 1988, I spoke to an old Japanese man he was in his 80s. I asked him about the bombing America, atomic bombs ever dropped. He said it was the best thing that happened to Japan. I asked him why, he said our leaders would have killed us all. All of the Japanese would have fought anyone who invaded their country. They would’ve fought to their death.. He said the bombs killed less people. The leaders would have done the same as Hitler in the bunker, total destruction of the people and the government. Tokyo, would have been a copy of Berlin, And the number of death would have been 1000s times more. It sounds crazy but the bombing did help to change the leadership thinking. Because they did want the bomb on top of them. It’s like having thousands of liquor weapons, both sides. No one wants to use it. .
@@HatBilly2008 USA wanted to end the war alone, before USSR was ready help. Japan would have surrender soon after USSR declare war against them. It is a debate. We know only one type of history, the happened one.
@@robirvine6970 yes, killing some peopled to save more people is just crazy, but when a government that is sick has power anything can happen.

Great documentary. But I feel this under-represents the significance of American contribution to Britains cultural survival. There’s a considerable chance that the commonwealth would’ve never prevailed if the United States had not been there to rescue them.
I heard of Benito Mussolini. but didn't really know anything about him. I am not sure if my history classes cover this or I forgot but interesting video. I am not done with it yet. I needed something to listen too but this was interesting.. I had a interest in history but mostly civil rights history as a black American . or slavery or American founding but seeing how a large scale international conflict effected the world is sad but intriguing .. for example the invasion of Ethiopia.. I didn't learn about that into my 20's. black Americans wanted to fight but was prevented by the United States..when I see people offering up their wedding rings proudly like they being so patriotic supporting their nation pillage of another country. it make me sick. but have to wonder the propaganda they was fed..what was the excuse..and it just reminded me of the long history of imperialist powers dividing up Africa like they had the right ..that continue today without the African people input. it so infuriating . hearing about the mass rape in China. one of my favorite movies is the dark knight. it reminded me of a joker saying. people only as good as the world allow them to be. the social order a joke. it crazy what humans are capable of when given permission . and it seem like they was left to fend for themselves when the army retreated. I have a respect for the Vietnam groups. they are fighters. against the Japanese .against the French and Americans. Stalin , Hitler and Mussolini all alive at the same time was a wow moment also. it was interesting just what it takes to launch a war conflict. factories and food supply. it takes years..
I was born on Pearl Harbor Day, so i learned all about it. It saddens me greatly to imagine 19 yr old boys waking up to their own death, but i would have preferred USA have a way of SHOWING the japanese what the atom bomb can do by dropping it on a far away island. Granted, just like 9/11, the USA knew Pearl Harbor was going to happen and let it so they had a reason to join the war.
There is a few reasons. For one, it’s immoral to directly target the leader of a country for assassination. Second of all, there were probably x4 the amount of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the emperor’s home city, and it would send the message that the U.S. is cruel. Thirdly, they didn’t want to annihilate Japan as a country, they just wanted to end the war.
It’s a bit offensive saying Germany was wrecked and Melbourne was untouched but you fail to mention the hundreds who were bombed in Darwin (thankfully it was mostly evacuated but the town was utterly devastated), or the hundred plus aerial assaults on our soil. Why make comparison this way? Human suffering matters far more than cities that can be rebuilt. Germany and England were the two great powers of the war. Australia wasn’t. The focus on the countries was not equal for a good reason. It’s also just not a competition as to who had it worse. Just really thoughtless as a statement. This horrific war saw my grandad traumatised because as a navy gunner her was sunk by the Germans 3 times, twice in one night. It’s a miracle he survived. People from countries with zero connection to Europe except British colonialism were forced or coerced into dying en masse in our country. Don’t minimalise our country’s suffering by making a bizarre false comparison. The way you spoke gave the impression that Melbourne got off easy and doing that is totally ignoring the Melbourne men who died, were maimed, and crippled to PSTD, which is no mentioned at all.
I'm less than an hour in can anyone tell me if the narrator stops saying total war every other sentence as the video goes on please. Ruining the video 😂
I wish time machines were possible..wanna visit the big bang...I want to see the dinosaurs..i wanna see mankind enter the plains of Africa..ancient Egypt in its hayday.. ancient Greece at its peak. Wanna see that Jesus dude actually heal a blind man, walk on water,and rise from the grave... wanna see pat Garrett shoot Billy. Wanna visit a young Hitler.. Wanna visit new York September 10th 2001.. and I wanna see my brother before he got in that car..😢 and I'd bring a cell phone to every stop....
Why can't you afford better narrators? Why do they always have to have the voice that bores people? You wanna know why kids aren't interested in history because you can't speak of history with passion and enthusiasm. You suck at your job
As always in these videos, I consider that which is relevant, and dismiss that which is not. This is, of course, MY judgement, but it springs out of a basis of extensive knowledge and exposure. I claim no expertise, I merely exercise the abilities God gave me. The important thing is that I and my opinion can change if presented with creditable evidence contrary to my position. That is my favorite thing about history- even biased interpretations of history may have something relevant for me to consider…
Funny how the terms "world war" or "total war" are so easily abused. Considering most nations on our planet didnt fought during WW1 or WW2, and considering the war was mostly in a handful of geographic locations, I just dont see it as "world war", only a few big nations ruled by men with big egos sending men that just want to live to die, fighting for invisible lines or useless ideals, none of these men who are fighting will ever benefit from in any way. There is no pride in winning a war, only shame, the shame of knowing that so many people died for nothing at all
When a man like Adolph hitler comes to power and decides he’s going to build a war machine and take over all of Eastern Europe, ruthlessly killing and enslaving civilians, turning entire cities to dust, how is engaging him and fighting for your countries independence “dying for nothing at all?”
It was a battle for freedom ,depending on which side you look at it from . Germany was basically the USA of Europe at the time , actually slightly more advanced . Germany was asking for their own sovereignty.However they got bullied into a regional war and became the bully .It is what it is .
This is not a complete story of WW II. It's not even chronologically presented. This is more of a propaganda presentation about how the war affected civilians. Even the combat-type footage does not match the narration. For example, there is a section about the Battle of Britain with much footage showing US 8th Army Air Force bombers and fighters. I could only make it through half of this before I went elsewhere.

Granted, just like 9/11, the USA knew Pearl Harbor was going to happen and let it so they had a reason to join the war.
They knew it would happen but didn’t know when or how
@@theplanetsaturnlol👆
They didnt just know, they did it, and they fire bombed civilians and lie that it was nukes. Nukes dont exist.
@@theplanetsaturnlol - So their most favored ships all just HAPPENED to be away from Pearl on that morning? How convenient.
@bishop_98 i mean…yea? there was a world war going on they wouldn’t just have all their best ships sitting like ducks
Saying the people of Melbourne were untouched is such a disrespectful and false statement. Shame
It's like frogs in slowly warming water eh?
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢WHYYY
Istg if you say “total war” one more time
the longer I watch this the longer I notice that the Western and the British are the reason why ww2 became.
And no one thought of nuking the Emperor? Really? Why not? Money, maybe?
There is a few reasons. For one, it’s immoral to directly target the leader of a country for assassination. Second of all, there were probably x4 the amount of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the emperor’s home city, and it would send the message that the U.S. is cruel. Thirdly, they didn’t want to annihilate Japan as a country, they just wanted to end the war.
It’s a bit offensive saying Germany was wrecked and Melbourne was untouched but you fail to mention the hundreds who were bombed in Darwin (thankfully it was mostly evacuated but the town was utterly devastated), or the hundred plus aerial assaults on our soil. Why make comparison this way? Human suffering matters far more than cities that can be rebuilt.
Germany and England were the two great powers of the war. Australia wasn’t. The focus on the countries was not equal for a good reason.
It’s also just not a competition as to who had it worse. Just really thoughtless as a statement.
This horrific war saw my grandad traumatised because as a navy gunner her was sunk by the Germans 3 times, twice in one night. It’s a miracle he survived.
People from countries with zero connection to Europe except British colonialism were forced or coerced into dying en masse in our country. Don’t minimalise our country’s suffering by making a bizarre false comparison.
The way you spoke gave the impression that Melbourne got off easy and doing that is totally ignoring the Melbourne men who died, were maimed, and crippled to PSTD, which is no mentioned at all.

Put this on to sleep by. And if the narrator said Total War 500 times I don't care as after the first 9 times in 5 minutes turned the fn thing off.
This narrator made me hirny

All out total war...my divorce
Drink every time he says total war
The title should be changed. The video is mainly talking about WWII's horrifying effect on people around the world instead of telling herolic stories.
Why can't you afford better narrators? Why do they always have to have the voice that bores people? You wanna know why kids aren't interested in history because you can't speak of history with passion and enthusiasm. You suck at your job

As always in these videos, I consider that which is relevant, and dismiss that which is not. This is, of course, MY judgement, but it springs out of a basis of extensive knowledge and exposure. I claim no expertise, I merely exercise the abilities God gave me. The important thing is that I and my opinion can change if presented with creditable evidence contrary to my position. That is my favorite thing about history- even biased interpretations of history may have something relevant for me to consider…
The British empire saved the world once again
The British Empire fought in this war to keep their grasp on power and ironically lost it because of this war.
@dafeekielelliott2442 your welcome, the world ows us for eternity
@@paulg8524 You entered the war with the stated goal of saving Poland, only to throw them to the Soviets. Thanks!
@dafeekielelliott2442 but we ended up saving the world instead, your welcome
Funny how the terms "world war" or "total war" are so easily abused. Considering most nations on our planet didnt fought during WW1 or WW2, and considering the war was mostly in a handful of geographic locations, I just dont see it as "world war", only a few big nations ruled by men with big egos sending men that just want to live to die, fighting for invisible lines or useless ideals, none of these men who are fighting will ever benefit from in any way. There is no pride in winning a war, only shame, the shame of knowing that so many people died for nothing at all
When a man like Adolph hitler comes to power and decides he’s going to build a war machine and take over all of Eastern Europe, ruthlessly killing and enslaving civilians, turning entire cities to dust, how is engaging him and fighting for your countries independence “dying for nothing at all?”
It was a battle for freedom ,depending on which side you look at it from . Germany was basically the USA of Europe at the time , actually slightly more advanced . Germany was asking for their own sovereignty.However they got bullied into a regional war and became the bully .It is what it is .

Ok tell us what they got wrong chief
no fr what part of ww2 did they get wrong
You can’t just say it’s inaccurate without saying why.
If this guy says TOTAL WAR one more damn time.
This is not a complete story of WW II. It's not even chronologically presented. This is more of a propaganda presentation about how the war affected civilians. Even the combat-type footage does not match the narration. For example, there is a section about the Battle of Britain with much footage showing US 8th Army Air Force bombers and fighters.
I could only make it through half of this before I went elsewhere.
Which video do you recommend then?
Every WW2 Documentary on RUclips has been written by the blokes with hats & big noses.
