When the American sailors saw planes above the water while playing the Star-Spangled Banner aboard the USS Nevada, they thought that those planes were US warplanes performing drills, but as the planes kept coming straight towards Pearl Harbor, the sailors grew more nervous. Only when one of the sailors saw the rising sun emblem on the undersides of the wings did the sailors release that the planes were Japanese, and that the Japanese were beginning to attack the US fleet at Pearl Harbor.
@@karstenshields1694 I mean military regulation is also that you have to keep saluting until the last note but during an attack people will obviously take up fighting positions instead of just standing there saluting
Imo the star spangled banner only works when it’s done instrumentally, most folks can’t sing it right (me included, hard to hit the notes lol)!or they make it into a pop song which ruins it. But I love my anthem, it just works well and fits.
@@jtgd haha yeah, but in all honesty the temp they played before getting attacked is actually faster then what most people play it at or at least whats available on RUclips. So he i still right and it is very nice. I wish more people played this tempo more.
My man sped up the pace when he saw the attack was happening. He finished, but wanted to get it done quick. Remember seeing this in a theater; the military audience laughed. They appreciated the conflict of interests.
Legend has it that during the Battle of Falkland, some guy salvaged the flag of the German Cruiser SMS Leipzig when the ship capsized, then climbed the hull and waved it frantically while the ship went down beneath him with all hands lost.
Now I heard some rumor from a war vet that while the Japanese were attacking, the band played on, refusing to stop until the end. Then after finishing the Star Spangled Banner, they rushed to battle stations.
In a book that I purchased in 1973 while visiting the Arizona Memorial, the band director stated that he was taught that when you start playing the Star Spangled Banner you don’t stop. He also said that was quickest tempo he had ever played the National Anthem at !
Knowing from experience, that was the shortest Navy ceremony on record! On a very somber note, the entire band of the USS Arizona was wiped out at their battle stations which were in the area of the ship's forward magazines.
One blaring mistake I noticed. The film shows a Japanese plane strafing a submarine. One of the reasons that the attack on 7 Dec. 1941, was the fact that did not attack the sub pens, the dry docks/repair facilities and the fuel storage tanks.
Tora Tora Tora... best Pearl Harbor movie. Footage from this movie was used in the Mini-series Pearl, often with the same scenes repeated. Also in Midway.(the Charlton Heston version)
There was no excuse for getting caught like this with our pants down. A radar operator stationed at Opana Point on the island of Oahu detected incoming aircraft formations heading toward the island. Also, In the early hours of December 7, 1941, a Japanese midget submarine was detected and sunk near the entrance to Pearl Harbor as it was trying to sneak in. That alone should have been warning enough that there were hostile forces in the area.
@@bursegsardaukar - The people he reported to should have been worried about it, so there is no excuse for the military getting caught with its pants down.
@@josephstevens9888 - I'm not blaming the radar operator, he did his job. I'm blaming the people he reported to. After all, the B-17s were coming from the east, not from the north as were the Japanese.
It’s pretty darn good and interesting, Americans directed the American parts and Japanese folks directed the Japanese scenes which makes a compelling juxtaposition. If you don’t mind it being a 1970s film, plus side is there’s a lot of practical effects which hold up.
Get rid of the commercial. Start a few seconds earlier and let the scene play out un interrupted to its proper end without projections of “look at this or that”.
What Japan and Germany didn't count on was are Industrial mite kicking in after declared war on them. After the attack Pearl Harbor All put three battleships couldn't SAVED but the ones could were raised set to drydock all battle was repaired and modernized with up dated equipment
Weren’t the band of the Arizona also competing in a competition for best band among the other ships? I read somewhere they were in the finals with the last round of the competition to be had just a few days December 7th.
You are correct! There was a Battle of The Bands competition(competition between the bands of the battleships) on Sat night, Dec 6th. The Arizona's band won second place and so was allowed to sleep in on Sunday when they normally would have to awaken at six or seven a m. They all died and most of them were in the age range of 17-20. May they rest in peace knowing that their fellow Americans remember their sacrifice and the crimes committed by the Japanese Government, most of the perpetrators of which(including Emperor Hirohito) were allowed to go free with the connivence of our government!
It’s “Officer of the Deck” he’s the senior officer on watch for that shift. Other countries call it the officer of the watch. When at sea usually a lieutenant does it, but in port I think an ensign or lieutenant junior grade does it, on cruisers, battleships, carriers, and other large vessels.
@@EyeGlower That's no military code I've ever had to use. Working as scaleyback you woulda thought I'd heard of it. And since I'm not an yank pog I wouldn't know about your rubbish
These planes were hard to differentiate between American planes. It was so hard the US military released a film for the US Signal Corps to help signalmen and regular sea/infantry men differentiate the American and Japanese planes. m.ruclips.net/video/vXCwwKA7t2Y/видео.html
@@jtgd Roosevelt himself was recorded to have said that the imminent issue was how to maneavour Japan to shoot the first strike to the US in Npvember 1941. And the Japanese spy in Hawai, freaquently reported about the US navy ships in the Pearl Harvour, which was already monitored by the US inteligence. And it is almost true that there was a US spy in the Japanese navy since the plan of Pearl Harvour attack was already known to the US one year ago. All these facts increases the probability that Roosevelt knew the Pearl Harvour attack.
@@jtgd Roosevelt was saying in late November 1941 at the war cabinet meeting to the effect that ""how to maneuver Japan to shoot the first bullets to the |US is the issue we face" . IN January 1941, almost one year before the Pearl Harbor, attack, the Ambassador in Tokyo sent a secret telegram to Hull, Secretary of the State that japan is now making military plan to attack Hawaii. Japanese military attaché in the Japanese Council in Honolulu frequently reported the states of the stationed war ships which had been monitored by the US side. The US already decoded many of the Japanese secret codes. All these facts indicate that Roosevel was not expecting but he was considering that Hawaii may be one of the attacking points by Japan.
@@rick7424Your statement is not true! In War Plan Orange 1931, they expected an attack on the Phillipines but later this was revised to include a possible attack on Pearl Harbor(ref: General William Mitchell's report 1922 and Colonel George Patton's report 1937). In the book The Yamato Dynasty(1988) it was finally revealed that Emperor Hirohito's younger brother and his wife(Imperial Japanese Navy Captain Prince Tokomatsu and Princess Tokomatsu) had warned the US government of all aspects of Japan's war plans including her attack across the Pacific beginning with an attack on Pearl Harbor. This warning was passed from Princess Tokomatsu to her dear friend Alice Perry Grew and her husband US Ambassador to Japan Joseph Grew eleven months before the attack. Grew personally carried the information to Washington DC on his person and told President Roosevelt. The Tokomatsus then told the Grews that the attack force had sailed and was enroute to Hawaii two weeks before the attack, even including the code phrase "Climb Mount Niitaka Twelve O Eight(Attack as planned on December 8th)" which would be issued to the attack force and all invasion forces as a sign that peace negotiations had failed and the attack should commence. A "Winds Execute" massage(East Wind, Rain) was also issued via the Japanese Diplomatic Code in order to notify all Japanese diplomatic embassies and consulates(such as the one in Honolulu, Hawaii) that there would be war(wind, rain) with the country to the East namely the United States. The Japanese never suspected the Tokomatsus because Prince and Princess Tokomatsu were close friends of the Grews(Princess Tokomatsu was a friend of Alice Perry Grew since they were children) and as such visits were frequent. They were also members of the Imperial family and so they were not watched by Japanese Military Intelligence(Kempeitai). Lastly, the US Government protected them by keeping their assistance to us secret until long after their deaths. Our obtaining information from breaking the Japanese codes only confirmed what we already knew. The Commanders in the Philippines(Lieutenant General MacArthur and Rear Admiral Hart) were warned of an impending attack scheduled for 7-8 Dec(6-7 Dec Hawaii time) on Dec 4th by British Admiral Sir Thomas Phillips by direction of President Roosevelt but such a warning was never given to the commanders at Pearl Harbor by direction of President Roosevelt! Admiral Phillips died when the Japanese sunk the HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse off of Malaysia. Despite advanced warning, MacArthur was completely unprepared for the Japanese attack of Dec 8th and he purposely didn't bomb the Japanese Naval Land Airbases on Formosa(now Taiwan) and Indochina(now Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam) as ordered to do so the moment that war commenced on Dec 8th(orders given on Dec 4th). An embarassed President Roosevelt covered MacArthur's insubordination and failure by awarding MacArthur the Congressional Medal of Honor for his "Heroic Defense of Bataan and Corrigidor." This is the truth of the matter!

An otherwise excellent moment obscured and ruined by pop-up ad
I hate those.
I wonder if it confused the Japanese any when they just kept playing.
Bro really dived into the water with the flag
Not let the national flag get burned by enemy hands
I am retired Navy and I would have too.
Legend has it that during the Battle of Falkland, some guy salvaged the flag of the German Cruiser SMS Leipzig when the ship capsized, then climbed the hull and waved it frantically while the ship went down beneath him with all hands lost.
Duh. Was he supposed to fold it neatly before doing so? There was likely no concious effort in him not dropping it but instead still holding it.
Save Old Glory!

Una de las escenas memorables de este icónico filme de culto del género bélico. Simplemente inolvidable la tragicomedia ahí representada.
I didn’t notice till now, that the bell ringer almost fell at 0:09 .
1:15 “oh shi this is an attack”
My dad always said never disrespect the flag and always finish your Star Spangled Banner
When they realize SPEED UP
Wow! The movie my dad took me to watch 54 years ago, Tyra Tyra Tyra!
"Tora, Tora, Tora"
That was the fastest tempo anthem being played...
When you see the tracers red glare and bombs bursting in air......
