      I salute the fact that you feel respect for someone besides yourself. Today’s society in the Free world seem to forget that not to long ago up to 80 million people lost their lives in WWII. Suffering that only a handful still alive can attest to. War is terrible but being TRULY FREE is worth fighting and dying for. It would have been easy for me to charge those beaches for my country back then but I hate to say, what’s taking place here in our Great United States today is a mockery dishonoring all these brave men and women who gave all for us. Thanks for your respect.

    I know I'm coming to the comment section late, but I just discovered this wonderful channel! Liked and subscribed and shared. I just wanted to say that my Uncle, Harold F Willard was stationed at Pearl Harbor in the Silent Service. I don't know what boat he was on, so I can't comment on that. But what I can say is that my Uncle and a buddy of his we're on top of Diamond Head December 7th 1941. Uncle Harold and his buddy saw the whole attack unfold in front of their eyes. My uncle said that they were frozen for several minutes just in stunned disbelief. Then he said they saw the meatballs on the planes and they instantly knew the Japanese were attacking us. He said they tried to get back to their boat but civilian police and military police had the roads blocked and were telling people to get back in their homes and take shelter. He didn't get back to his boat until later that evening and was devastated to see the anchorage at Pearl. He carried a lot of guilt through the rest of his life for not being able to participate and protect the base and his buddies. He also had really bad ears from crash dives and was very claustrophobic. Rest in peace 🙏Uncle Harold, you did your job and you did it well. You are not forgotten my dear Uncle. 🇺🇸⚓️💯🙏💖

I also saw the programs on the Korean War and Vietnam. United States was tough back in the forties and if for not the United States things would be different on this planet also there are some graphic scenes scenes of dead Japanese soldiers you will not see anything like that in any War before or after.

    12:24 In about 5 and a half hours, 81 years ago, the Italian ambassador delivers the ultimatum to the Greek PM, demanding that the Italians troops should pass into Greek territories freely. The Greek PM, Ioannis Metaxas, with tearful eyes, says the famous "Alors, c’est la guerre!", which means "then, it is war!" The Greco-Italian War is a small chapter in the WWII history no doubt, but it is an important one for my country, as it was a solid punch to the Axis power. Fellow Greek readers and rest of the world, happy "Ochi's Day"!

    This was hard to watch. A relative of mine died at the first Battle of El Alamein..on the 19th of July and this is the first time I've seen what was happening then and what he died for.
    It's had to wrap your head around. He was 25 years old. Never married. From Wales.. had graduated university before he went to war. And his life was cut so short fighting the Germans.
    I know so many were. It's just mind blowing to think of your family member there doing that. What hell it must have been. I so wish he had made it through to see the victories to come.

      @asherhayes2429 2 года назад +2

      Well I believe that it’s not just ww2, the story being told is the end of empires, an age that had lasted for thousands of years. World war 2 finished what world war 1 started. World war 1 saw the fall of the German, Turkish, Russian, Chinese, Bulgarian, and Austria-Hungarian empires. Ww2 finished this, and although they won the war, all European powers were soon forced to give up their colonies a few years later. It is the best story ever told, but the story goes from 1900 and the boxer rebellion, to around 1960, when everything was decolonized.

I've read many books and seen many movies and videos on the era. Virtually all focus on essentially the same collection of very important events, but much of this presentation lays out details often overlooked. Now I'm looking for Part 3. I hope it's available now. If not, I hope it will be very soon.

      I think that could be a part III, the documentary talking about British and American territories like it’s theirs LOL
      They colonized foreign land for the same purpose, influence, cheap labour and resources. So Japan taking it under its own control is not worse than what Europeans did to those countries.
      Killings and murder was done by British and Americans as well, the thing is that the history is told by the victors and they always justify their own atrocities.
