  • After Pearl Harbor in WWII, America set out on the long mission to regain control of the Pacific. In this episode we see the long and arduous campaign drawing to a close, with American forces taking the Japanese-held islands of Guam, Tinian and Saipan in the Marianas chain.
    Also in this episode: In 'Steel Town' and 'A Community At War' we see the differing experiences of two Ohio cities, Youngstown and Dayton, and how their industrial power helped drive America to victory in WWII.

    The battle for the Marianas was crucial because its airfields put the B29 bombers in range of the Japanese home islands. The intense air command was conducted w/o stop. Virtually all 9d Japan's cities were hit.
    The battle to take the Marianas was more brutal than even the war films can show. The heat, noise, constant combat & threat of snipers were intense. Credit & honor to our Marines, Army & Navy who took the fight to the Imperial Japanese forces.

      For your grand dad to make that contribution took the contribution of countless others to make that possible. Their effort was just as valuable. The women manning the factories including Rosie the Riviter, the peope who purchased war bonds, the farmers growing the textiles and food to be shipped over, the oil field workers, and a myriad of others including the ones who made the landings and fought the direct battles. No one was that much more important than the others, including those making it possible.

    My dad, a 19 year old enlisted Marine, was there for way too many battles...what a wreck his experiences made of him. What this chipper narrator doesn’t say (and he muddles up the action, going back and forth between islands out of sequence) is that, on Saipan, the Japanese soldiers were ordered to fight to the last man, as there was no hope of being resupplied. On an island roughly 12 miles long and 5 miles wide, the Marines and Army infantry slaughtered 29,000 Japanese soldiers, mostly by flame throwers into caves, pillboxes, and dugouts. Just sit and think about that for a minute. My dad suffered from severe PTSD, and drank to numb his memories. We’re all told a lot of BS about the “Greatest Generation,” but I knew many dads who were WWII vets, and they seemed a lot like my dad.

      My grandfather was at DDay, and he was loathe to talk about his experiences in the war. When he got back he got rid of his uniform, medals, insignias, and any other trace of it, never went to any reunions, and never kept in contact with anyone he knew from his army days. But he did very well after he came back, so his way obviously worked. Though it hasn't been studied in depth, I bet a whole lot of WW2 vets had PTSD.

My dad never went to a single reunion and he also refused to use VA services bc he said he thought it was only for men who had been wounded, and he miraculously hadn’t been; his survivor’s guilt was also intense. He had earned two unit valor citations equal to the Distinguished Service Cross, and one unit citation equivalent to the Silver Star, and none of his 7 kids ever saw them, because he gave them to some kids he knew when he got home. He wore his dress uniform to marry my mom in 1946 and there’s not a single medal or ribbon on him, anywhere. He did not do well in his life, unfortunately, but his children have.

    This entire compilation is one of the broadest, most informative series of shorts I've seen concerning the WW2 war economy in North America (Canada mirrored the US as it so often does). It also presages the 'Permanent War Economy' that had to keep chugging along after 1945. I'm most fascinated with how these trends relied on DOMESTIC industrial production, coupled with an intense focus on as close to full employment as possible. It WAS possible because of the lurking knowledge that a war on 2 fronts (and several sub-fronts, or 'theatres' like North Africa, and then the Italian campaign north) exhibited the real danger of z reversal that would see combat IN North America if the combat abroad was unsuccessful. Us today knowing what happened during and after does not contribute to empathy for the real insecurity that fighting an existential Total War imposed on people on 'The Home Front'. Last, observe the po-labour tone of he last vignettes of this series. How Labour retention, all encompassing social services, as well as a tone of respect and dignity for he worker was communicated. 'Lest we foget' is a refrain we've allowed to slip into almost a meaingless refrains. We HAVE forgotten, which is why the North American economy is now 'post industrial'. Allowing that to happen by the greedmongers of globalisation should be considered a crime equivalent to treason. Unfortunately, many of those perpetrators are the people in Government who think that short term greed i a way to run a country, as well as safeguarding that country. Thwymshould be treated to the Mussolini Effect, right down to the post mortem facial urination.

    They were the best in the history of mankind,
    They could not defeat them on the battlefield. That is why their enemies perverted women, blacks, and indigenous people and attacked them from within the nation.

    Every single boot on the ground belonged to a hero. The people leading them may, or may not be a different story.
    We always hear this side of it, but was it necessary to sacrifice so many men, to liberate every island, or could we have done, say every other one, and cut off the ones in between? Maybe not good enough, maybe the civilians would have suffered? Dunno, but before accepting the US losses, the management should have been held accountable.

The only ones that survived in his "outfit" were the wounded ones he once told me. He spent months in the hospital in Hawaii and California.
    Too bad today's Marine "leaders" are more interested in proper pronouns and CRT than protecting the country that gave them everything they have.
