The reason this episode hits me so hard as a Retired US Sailor, was my Dad. Dad enlisted in the Navy in September 1941 for six years to be a Pharmacist Mate. Because of the Japanese attack, the day after her reported to his Pharmacist Mate school, when he completed his school, he was sent to Naval Hospital Pearl Harbor for several years, then back for Fleet Corpsman school. He was then integrated into the Marines and was in the Battle of Okinawa. I watched this episode and realize why Dad Never talked about being in battle, because of all the horrific things he saw and the injured Marines he had to deal with. The only thing we knew was he was at Pearl Harbor and since his enlistment went to 1947, he was with the first occupation Marines into Mainland Japan.
Two really well done movies you should watch are Letters From Iwo Jima and Flags of Out Fathers. Both are about the Battle of Iwo Jima one is from the Japanese Perspective, the other from the American Perspective.
Another wonderful and well done movie about the Battle of Okinawa is Hacksaw Ridge, it is based on the true story of Desmond Doss, who like my Marine Corpsman Dad was an Army Medic.
Respect and deepest thanks, to you and your Dad, for your service to our Nation!!
The chicken nugget I got at mcdonalds today told me his sisters parakeet was a dishwasher in Okinawa so this episode hit really hard for me too.
この戦争が終結した後、アメリカが沖縄にやってきたことをほとんどのアメリカ人は知らない。
My uncle was no more than 20 years old when he spent 30 days fighting on Okinawa - the unique horrors of this battle, involving civilians, were what he experienced.
An excellent account of what it was like to be caught in the crossfire is 'The Girl With the White Flag' by Tomiko Higa. She was 7 years old during the battle, and wrote down her memories years later. I got to meet her in 1994 or 95 when I was stationed in Okinawa.
Remember Dr Sledge’s words in episode 2 about men having their souls torn away. Eugene came very close to losing his soul.
My uncle, Marcy Francis, 96th Infantry was killed here on April 5, 1945 after serving in the Pacific Campaign for 3 years.
My Great Uncle fought in the Pacific in WW2! He said ( as well as other Pacific Vets I spoke with)That He didn't know what "Atomic" was when he heard about the bombs being dropped! But that it did mean, that he survived the war (many of his friends did not) Once Japan had surrendered! He got through the war without physical wounds ( the effects of Malaria stayed with him for decades) Once home (self medicating) he drank heavily for a period and while drunk broke a leg after a milk truck hit him! He got married QUIT drinking, worked a Job and raised a family! My Great Uncle, a member of the Greatest Generation!
War is a nightmare and hell you never come home from, first in the noise and then in the quiet.
The most horrifying things our soldiers saw in that war was mothers theowing their babies off cliffs because the Japanese had brain washed them into believing that the Americans would torture and rape them. This scene was especially horrific on Saipan. I recall seeing a documentary about The Battle for Okinawa where two adult brothers talked about how they killed their mother to keep her out of the hands of the Americans. They first stabbed her and when she didn't die they choked her to death. They were then going to kill each other but were stopped by the Marines. It was so sad to hear their story. They were both in tears as they were telling it. The Pacific Theater was so brutal because the Japanese had trained the male children to be warriors. When they entered the military they then trained them to be brutal to others lower than them and to die in battle. Japanese training was so harsh that some men did not survive. Was it a different world back then with Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany? NO, the world is the same. We still have cultures that celebrate death and commit unspeakable acts upon the innocent. The war against evil goes on. WW2 taught us that you can't compromise with evil, you must destroy it. Germany and Japan are different today because we defeated them in WW2 , de+Nazified Germany and ended emperor worship in Japan thus bringing them into the 20th century. Sad to say but the free world has not learned its lesson.😢
When I was stationed in Okinawa in 1990s they were still called the ‘suicide cliffs’.
The fact that Japan got released of all their crimes is blasphemous. Then, they don’t even teach it in their schools and claim Americans to be the villains of WWII. Absolute BS
I've seen some footage of the suicide cliffs, I won't forget it. A mother throwing her child off the cliff and jumping herself soon after. Horrific.
「アメリカ軍人が強姦する」という事はこの戦争の終結後で起こった事件、事故、その後のアメリカ軍の対応を知っていると否定はできない。
@@金和-q3c I'm not deny it. US soldiers commit crimes right here in the US and sometimes they get away with it and most times they don't. US soldiers, like all human beings, are not angels but the fact of the matter is US soldiers are subject to the same laws regardless of where they are stationed. According to Status of Forces Agreements soldiers can also be subject to the host country.
There are several reasons for our base on Okinawa but the primary one is to project strength and stability in Asia. Maybe you'd rather see Chinese soldiers based on Taiwan or Okinawa or do you think the Communist Chines Army is made up of angels?🤔
You're the best, Marley. Thanks for sharing.
Eugene gives a speech called “with the old breed and the cost of war” it’s 36 mins long highly suggest looking it up what he says about the Japanese and how they thought. How he perceived combat and exactly what happened to certain men he became friends with
Hacksaw Ridge was one of if not the bloodiest battle for Okinawa. A total of 12,000 Americans died in that battle. 5000 died at sea from Kamikaze attacks and 7000 from the land battles. 2500 died on Hacksaw alone.
The Japanese had no reapect for other cultures / races. The Okinawans were not Japanese and many were forced to fight for Japan. This includes women and children. The teenage boy that Eugene spared but was shot by another Marine was probably Okinawan. Most of the Okinawans were unarmed or just carried spears as they were considered cannon fodder by the Japanese. It is estimated that 150,000 Okinawan civilians died in that battle.
As a side note, when I was in grade school my best friend's father fought at Okinawa. He was part of an anti-aircraft crew on a cruiser. His ship was hit by a Kamikaze killing some of his crew and wounding him; he still had shrapnel in his body in the 1950s. I once asked him if he was scared. He said he wasn't scared, he was terrified knowing that planes loaded with bombs were being guided in towards their ship and the only way to stop them was to blow them up before they hit.

Band of Brothers and The Pacific both save a gut punch for Episode 9.
The battle of Okinawa really pushed the U.S. to drop the atomic bombs. The fighting on Okinawa was so brutal they estimated millions of people would have died in a mainland invasion. There’s multiple stories of Marines not believing the the war was over because they thought they would never surrender. Most Marines thought they would’ve had to kill literally everyone to win. Crazy to think about.
hands down most brutal episode of the show.
😢 I was particularly moved by the scene where Sledge is holding the woman as she is dying. I felt like he found some of his humanity, which was missing for so long. War is supposed to be brutal, but this was beyond that, nothing worse than using women and children as kamikazes. When listening to the interviews at the beginning, you could hear the pain and trauma in all of those men voices, 💔 only another vet understands, enough said. 😢
Sledge never held her till she died....he left her alive and went back outside to talk to Snafu....another Marine put her out of her misery.
@user-wr1lx1og6n I appreciate you correcting me, I make mistakes like everyone else.
The moment with sledge and women is touching in that it shows sledge regaining his humanity, however it’s not what happened in reality. In reality sledge determined that the women could be saved by a medic and left to go find one. Upon returning with the medic they heard a single gun shot and, much to the disdain of sledge and the medic, out walked another marine who had followed through with the women’s request to end her suffering.
@@probableguy that’s incredibly sad to read but also interesting how the story was changed
Good reaction!
Bangin good. And you're easy on the eyes.
There's an older, lesser known war miniseries I'd recommend when you're done with this one called 'Generation Kill' about a Marine unit during the '03 invasion into Iraq
Hello, check out a movie called, 1492: Conquest of Paradise.
Adventure/Drama (1992). It stars Gérard Depardieu, Siqourney Weaver, Armand Assante. It portrays a version of the travels to the New World by the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus and the effect this had on indigenous peoples.
Directed by Ridley Scott.
The good news is that the last episode, by these standards, is much easier to watch. The psychological costs of war are much more heavily covered in The Pacific. You are correct, they did leave some things out that they felt were too horrific for the show.
@@Carln0130 it’s horrific and hard to imagine them having to go back to ordinary lives after this!
@@marleysmovies the amazing thing is that so many were able to. Of course, I'm sure that many were never able to make the transition back.
The fanatical and suicidal resistance put up on Saipan, Okinawa and Iwo Jima was a major impetus in decision to use the atomic bombs. Invading Japan itself would have been complete slaughter on both sides.
The was the story the US propaganda spread, but the real reason was that the Soviets were on the fast track to taking Japan, and were already through Manchuria and what is now North Korea. The US knew that they have to OBTAIN Japan before the Soviets did, and the A-bomb was their only way to do it in a timely manner. Japan was already defeated….there was really no need to invade it anymore as they were cut off from oil, metal, and about anything else in the world, plus the US had plenty of capacity to conventionally bomb them with no resistance….but that takes longer, and the Soviets were rapidly closing in.
The Japanese were particularly vile in this war, and in China. A bit baffling really, because until they embraced the new Bushido code, they'd been damned decent. In WW1 they were both successful and honourable. Oh well. 15 million dead make the nuclear option a no-brainer. Cracking reaction to a particularly wonderful series, and all power to you.
It was estimated that over 10 million Japanese civilians would have died had the Atomic Bombs not ended the war in a week. 2 Years of this episode all across Japan: suicide charges by women and children with sharpened sticks, combat, fire bombing, and starvation.
実際は原爆投下によって終結していません。
ソビエトの日本への攻撃によって日本はポツダム宣言を受け入れ、この戦争は終結した。
