I hope one of these day Yarnhub (or any history RUclipsr for that matter) does a video reading submitted stories from viewers about relatives or personal experience in war, as a way to remember the forgotten heros.
We have a similar story here in Italy: Rosario Rondazzo (Gold Medal to valor) was fighting in Russia when he got hit by a mortar round and had his arm amputated. To cover the retreat of his unit he reached a fixed machine gun manuvering it with his lef arm and squeazing the trigger with his mouth. Eventually he got overun and killed. Later an officer found his body, next to him his teeth that were crushed by the recoil of the weapon while firing.
there a similar story here where I live. during our liberation war one lieutenant had a mortar shell explode near him, it broke his knee, he ordered his men to retreat, but they refused a few times before following his ( The lieutenant ) command, he held the enemy for a few moments. his dead body was found the next day, the enemies had pulled his eyes out with their bayonets. he was given the highest honor of the country.
My Great Grandpa who was a Native American from the Cherokee Tribe fought there on that same exact battle. Joined the Marine Corps at such a young age before the war even started to support his poor family in the depression, and soon found himself across the pacific fighting across island after island. I truly wish I could've gotten the chance to meet him before he died as I was at such a young age, his stories never cease to amaze me.
The whole time I kept thinking “I wonder if he’ll mention Leckie” when you did I got goosebumps. His book helmet for my pillow is amazing, his description of the Indian’s gallantry is beautiful. if you like the actor for Bob Leckie in the pacific, he voices the audiobook on audible. It is a really good listen, and with Leckie’s background in writing, is extremely poetic.

A story that is by far inspiration for any American. As this story unfolds we the watcher of this channel are nothing but in awe how this keeps getting better everytime. Well done yarnhub. Someone get these storytellers a medal. Carry on yarnhub.
@@johncox2865 I'm inspired and 47. Sadly though you have a good point. This true grit and determination to fight in a battle that is lost on the younger generation. Not knowing what was going on back then is the foundation of today. History will repeat if not seen or understood what is at stake. Yarnhub is truly a great channel and watching these videos is just nothing short of inspiration in video form of bravery acts. The videos are what should be watched with great respect to this history and the bravery. I will say this again. Yarnhub carry on. You can inspire by these great videos. With each story told more is known. Please don't stop.
As a Native American of Ogallala Lakota/souix decent, a sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing the spirit of such a brave warrior to live on through your retelling of this battle.
I am not from the U. S. But i can feel heroism runs all over my body. RIP Johny "The Indian" Rivers. And thank you, Yarnhub, for keeping him lives on the history from now.
There was also another soldier in the same battle named Rodger Young that was nearly blind and is deaf. He faked the hearing test to get into the Army and is a Medal of Honor recipient for diverting machine fire from a nearby bunker. Despite being wounded twice, he continued to get to the bunker and lobbed grenades into it, but he was killed in the process of throwing grenades into the bunker which saved his platoon during a retreat. He has a song about him called "The Ballad of Rodger Young".
In the version I heard of this story, after Rivers was killed, his finger got caught on the trigger and causing the machine gun to fire two hundred rounds before the other men realized he was dead and removed his body. Great video by the way!
Thank you, those 3, Diamond, Rivers, and Schmidt, especially Rivers, are now forgotten and when I tell people they might not believe me and their story is one that should be told, you did them well, and also I felt the 3 deserved the Congressional Medal of Honor.
A truly great story - the animation is superb, espescially the opening showing the men waiting for the attack. I'm a pacifist by temperament and Christian conviction, but admire brave men such as these who had the guts to do what I know I couldn't. The Hacksaw Ridge story was superb, by the way. I was quoting it at church today.
Another great escapade as always! We are losing these stories faster and faster by the day. We need to record as many as possible while we still can. I had no idea you guys worked with Adam Makos on some of these videos?! That's awesome! I loved his book "A Higher Call"
The progress of the videos is phenomenal! LOVE LOVE LOVE the progress. The stories, some known some unknown, NEED to be shared. People need to be reminded of everyday people's extraordinary feats in the face of danger. We hear too often of the ridiculous things of today's spoiled people and not enough of people like Witold Pilecki and his brave actions. His story needs to be told, too.
Yet another incredible story told in your fascinating style, and accompanied by the awesome animation I've come to appreciate. Outstanding work again, Yarnhub. Your team is second to none in this genre. Thank you again for your unrelenting dedication to making quality content. I genuinely look forward to each and every one of your uploads.
Damn Yarnhub, there was me thinking this absolutely would be about John Basilone and you pulled the rug out from under me yet again with a story I'd never heard before! Great work guys, you genuinely never disappoint! 👏
@@Youraveragemarine1944 yes that’s correct I’ve heard that before too. He was pissing on the barrel to cool it. The enemy must have thought there were 20 guys dug in!
I’m a history major that wants to get into highschool/college level military history your videos are absolutely MAGNIFICENT! I thoroughly enjoy your attention to detail and the animations are amazing! Thank you for doing this amazing service for us!
This channel is great, highlighting these obscure and unknow stories of heroes such as these that I wouldnt know about otherwise. Keep up the great work!
It should have been MoH for the three. I know this award is not given in a group but still, one blind man firing with the help of his wounded friend whose arms were too wounded from a grenade and the 3rd one who set the tone of the fight in the beginning by holding the line amidst wave of Japanese soldiers...
Nice that you mentioned Leckie near the end. I read his book, Helmet for My Pillow, about his time fighting from Guadalcanal to Pelalu. His coverage of that battle referred Alligator Creek as the Tenaru River. Richard Tregaskis did the same thing in Guadalcanal Diary.
Fantastic story and animation, but I also know the 1st Marines did not have M1 garands in time for Guadalcanal. For Private Jacobs to have an M1 as he does in this animation he must be a time traveler!
@@tomicbranislav3 xD yep that's reminds me of a episode of the Tv series "The pacific" in which the army are distracted by a japanese air raid and the marines "get" alot of goods from the army.
I remember reading about that Japanese unit. They were just a detachment of their main unit. Arriving by Destroyer, six of them to be exact, they landed unopposed and supposedly undetected with orders to dig in and wait for the rest of their parent unit. Ichiki, though, disobeyed and opted to attack despite being warned he would be gravely outnumbered and that the full breadth of the US Marines on the island were unknown. Having fought in China, he's actually the guy who kicked off the whole Second Sino-Japanese War. This event is better known as the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. He was also supposed to help spearhead the landings on Midway and occupy the islands. So, he may have been chomping at the bit to get over the fact that he and fellows were turned back. Some more recent claims say that Ichiki was ordered to assault the heavily defended American positions. Part of the reason why, was to cover up the defeat at Midway. But at the same time, the Japanese High Command had, apparently, also underestimated the size of the American landings and therefore had ordered the attack under the mistaken impression Ichiki and his Detachment could win. It's hard to say. Given his attitude, which literally started a war, I would be inclined to believe he made a gross mistake in judgement. Yet, at the same time, hubris was running rampant in the Japanese leadership and fear of what happened at Midway was potentially a boiling reality. So, a quick win that could be built on the recent success at defeating a supposedly large force of American Warships for light losses. Either way, Ichiki and his men ran into the one thing they couldn't overcome. Well trained, led, and equipped Americans in a strongly fortified position, aware they were on the island and expecting trouble.
it's incredible to see the talent in your videos, your vidoes are genuinely my favourite on the platform and I look forward to every upload, love your work!
mate what a great story to remind us all of those that made the ultimate sacrifice. so we all today can live for the most part in peace. Great work. i am really enjoying your recreationss.
Your videos/stories never fail to both intrigue and amaze me, not only is the storytelling fantastic, the quality of animation is astounding! Yet another fantastic mini-documentary, bravo yarnhub!
Can we just appreciate the attention to detail Yarnhub has in their vids. Every bit of equipment was rendered perfectly. If I had to nitpick I'd point out that the Japanese didn't ditch the dust covers from their rifles anywhere near as often as conventional wisdom would have you believe, but I have seen far bigger studios make far more egregious errors. Full marks, fantastic work
Thank you Indian you’re not forgotten. And thank you to all the rest of them who never even got a chance to be remembered. Thank you our flag flies high in your honor.
I love every video your animation improves from 2d animation to your evolving 3d animation, its been 2 years i've been watching you. Always amaze by your storytelling and your animation.
@@dr.bright6160Mounted Maxim guns were sighted to optimal height with an elevation limiter. You could hose side to side without having to worry about recoil. Shooting blind was the easy part. The incredible part is keeping your head, and having the courage to get up and keep firing in complete darkness, pain and fear.
I'm familiar with the actions of these 2 marines from an episode of a docu series called "Shootout!". Really quite an outstanding story of these marines.
Pride of the Marines, one of the first movies that my daughter watched with me on memorial day. I told her all I knew about the man and myth and all. Diamond and rivers and their actions as best I knew. It started kind of a yearly thing, we would watch an old war movie on memorial day. Pride of the Marines ,she liked pretty much, but Bogie in Sahara so far is her favorite.
The 1 Marine Division in 1942 did not have M1 Garand rifles. The only M1’s that they saw in that year was with the US Army. The Marines had model 1903 Springfield rifles. They were bolt action rifles.
great animation yarnhub it is crazy to see how far you have come! i remember your b-17 videos, then coming back to here and man! you have changed your animation style a lot! i love learning history from you, it makes my day better gracias amigo!

It is scary to think about a blind machine gunner
Imagine how scary it was for the enemy lol
Well i think any machine gunner is scary
If the gunner was Rambo then yes
It would be especially terrifying for the gunner's comrades
Alot of men were blinded in battle and kept on shooting downrange
May Johnny the Indian Rivers always and forevermore be remembered. May they all be remembered.
Schmid and Diamond are men of focus, commitment and *sheer fucking will*
I understood that reference!
How do you not mention Rivers?! The injustice persists.
Yarnhub is so underrated that it saddens me. (I can't have enough of that narrator's voice)
I am not from the U. S. But i can feel heroism runs all over my body. RIP Johny "The Indian" Rivers. And thank you, Yarnhub, for keeping him lives on the history from now.
Do you have stories of your country's heros it would be interesting too
First heard of Rivers, but I really wish he also get remembered like how both Schmid and Leroy is remembered. He's done lot for them too.

Rodger Young wasn't on Guadalcanal. His MOH action took place on New Georgia, which was every bit as big a hellhole as Guadalcanal. Maybe even worse.
