I wish my high school history teacher would have been half as interesting as you made this - I might have actually learned something 😲 Thank you! ~Robin
This is beautifully put together! Congrats. I had zero idea about Brookings! I lived in Oregon for a while and while I did visit the fort in northern Oregon, I never spent much time in Brookings and regret it now. This is great! Thank you!
So interesting. My father was a “Gunner” stationed in California to protect the coast against an enemy invasion. This piece of history made it all make sense to me as to my he was stationed in the USA! Thanks again for another great episode. Keep them coming.
Thank you, John. I never heard about this part of history. Very interesting. It was very lucky that the forest wasn't very dry. Very good ending that the enemy became a friend.
Very well presented, John. Thank you. It is moving to see what forgiveness and love can create. May we once again as a nation remember these traits and hold them dear to our hearts. Take care and God bless you and yours! ~Blue.
Hi John, what an interesting story about the submarines and airplanes. I had no idea this happened. Its amazing how the airplane which dropped the 'fire-bomb' didn't ignite properly, and they were able to get to the start of the fire quickly, and that the gentlemen had been in the Fire watch tower and observed what they saw. I am looking forward to more "Curious History" as you present it, and information like this needs to be taught in school, as the subject matter is fascinating. I hope you all are well, and if you go back out on the road to film, please be careful, and may God continue to bless you and your family! 🙂 Thank you again, for another wonderful video. Lewis
Thank you my friend. We were hoping to go out and film today but little John has injured his back. I’m spending the time doing more research and writing. Hopefully we will hit the road next week. I have a couple of videos that I’m very excited to make!
@@CuriousHistoryYT Awesome, my friend, looking forward to seeing them. Tell Little John I'm keeping him and you all in my thoughts and prayers. Back injuries are nothing to joke around with.
Even with the technology the USA has today I would say that there are undetected enemy subs around our country today . Your great video is a prime example of never letting our guard down! We are always looking forward to your next video. Much knowledge to be learned from You guys. Thanks!!!
Love the video. Thank you! I remember learning about the failed attempt of creating a forest fire by the Japanese, but not of anything else you presented. That surprised me. I love learning about history no matter where or when. And, like you mentioned, most Americans believe we haven't had any mainland bombings other than pearl harbor and 9/11. Is this something they don't like to talk about maybe? Thanks for the video and information. Well done!
Thank you Samantha! I’m not sure why these things aren’t taught. Maybe there’s just too much history to fit into the curriculum? Thank you for watching! I appreciate the support!
Thank you so much again for this wonderful bit of history! I grew up in Northern California and have never heard of any of this!! I think it was awesome what the town of Brookings did!! High five to them! Thanks, again!
Awesome video of mostly unknown history of WWII. Have read about these incidents numerous times in various books/magazines. Also, concerning the first incident, have read that the captain of the Japanese submarine used to be a worker at that oil well/refinery. If I remember correctly, he was either FIRED from the job or got into a fight with an American co-worker. Either way, he "lost face" and volunteered his submarine for this particular mission. He was eager to gain revenge at his old job by firing his deck gun at the facility. Also, late in the war, the Japanese built submarines that were large enough to carry 3 float planes. There were plans to send a task force of these submarines to the West Coast and the Panama Canal to conduct bombing missions. Nothing came about for the war ended. If I remember correctly, a task force of 3 submarines were actually en route to the Panama Canal when they were ordered to return home to Japan because the war ended.
Not just very interesting but while watching this I feel as if I were going through some great audio book! John, great content! A content that shows much of universal peace, love and friendship! I watch this video end to end without lifting my eyes! Without a slight nod to see my surroundings! I am amazed and I can sense a beautiful feeling of love deep in my heart about this great man. The Japanese pilot who thought that it was all over and returned to his submarine and ultimately to his home base had to come again to the spot of his destruction two decades later. God had great plan for him! And it is this plan that may have changed his course of life. Instead of spending his life on attractive military pension he becomes the embodiment for peace and friendship. Great content, John!

Thank you Robin. Very nice of you to say! 😊
Thank you for all the research you do to bring us things we never learned in school.
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching!

I’ve visited Brookings as well. Beautiful coastal community. I wonder how many people who live there actually know about this?
@@CuriousHistoryYT You know, I really doubt it. I saw a lot of glass figurines shops though... Many glass turtles. Many. Lol
Wow! I didn't see the end coming at all.. the forgiveness, kindness - incredible! ❤️
Amazing piece of history :)
Thank you for watching Edith!
I love your channel, if I haven't said already 😘... I enjoy history that most don't know about.
Thank you Liz! ❤️
In the end, very touching.
❤️
Excellent....I remember the stories my folks told me about the submarine off the coast.
My neighbor was born in an internment camp, his mother had a beauty shop, and his father had a good job. They lost everything with no compensation.
The things we do out of fear. Ugh
Great video my grand mother was in Oxnard California when all of that happened She said people were on edge
I bet they were!
So interesting. My father was a “Gunner” stationed in California to protect the coast against an enemy invasion. This piece of history made it all make sense to me as to my he was stationed in the USA!
Thanks again for another great episode. Keep them coming.
Awesome info Shirley! Love to hear about personal recollections!
Thank you, John. I never heard about this part of history. Very interesting. It was very lucky that the forest wasn't very dry. Very good ending that the enemy became a friend.
Thank you Edward. I was glad to find out that even bitter enemies could one day find forgiveness.
Very well presented, John. Thank you. It is moving to see what forgiveness and love can create. May we once again as a nation remember these traits and hold them dear to our hearts. Take care and God bless you and yours! ~Blue.
Very well said Blue! ❤️
