This rare film shows the training of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team of the United States Army. The 442nd was a regimental size fighting unit composed almost entirely of American soldiers of Japanese descent who volunteered to fight in World War II even though their families were subject to internment. The 442nd, beginning in 1944, fought primarily in Europe during World War II. The 442nd was a self-sufficient force, and fought with uncommon distinction in Italy, southern France, and Germany. The 442nd is considered to be the most decorated infantry regiment in the history of the United States Army. The 442nd was awarded eight Presidential Unit Citations and twenty-one of its members were awarded the Medal of Honor for World War II. The 442nd's high distinction in the war and its record-setting decoration count earned it the nickname "Purple Heart Battalion." The 442nd Regimental Combat Team motto was, "Go for Broke". This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA.

Proud son of a member of the 442nd!
As you should be!
Nisei American, go for Broke. You gave your life so that others may live. Salute
HBO should make a series of this 442 regiment!
An anime would be more appropriate.
A) There's already a manga
B) The community is already global, and can immediately retain attention as well as pay proper respect if done well.
+Juan Manuel Penaloza what the manga called
the amazing thing is these men were origanaly told they werent allowed into the military and called enemy non alien and they and their familes were put in prison camps but still when given the chance volunteered again and fought for the same country that forced them from their homes because they hoped it would change things and it did
They were pure 100% foot-soldier RIFLEMAN, hand grenade throwing, front-line crack combat ground-walking GIs.
They saw A LOT of combat.
An INORDINATELY large amount of it.
Japanese in Hawaii volunteered into the Army right after Pearl Harbor to form the 100th Battalion. It was sent to Camp Shelby, Mississippi for training and got absorbed into the 442nd Regiment.
I wonder if My great uncle is in here he fought in this brigade
The 442nd wasn't a brigade, it was an infantry regiment.
@@lonebeagle sorry I mixed them up because my grandpa and uncle were in two differant parts of the military
It's sad that many Americans know such units like the 101st, 82nd, and 3rd ID during WW2, but don't know the 442nd. How can the most decorated combat unit in US military history be so under mentioned? These men fought and did things that you would only see in Rambo movies. On top of that they had to go thru the bullshit back at home before and after the war. They're the best example of what an American is. There probably won't ever be another group of people that can be so loyal and fight so damn hard while getting absolutely nothing in return. Shame on you FDR
Not that they should, but should of instead of the 101st in Band of Brothers. It would of been such a better drama since it would of shown what they went thru before the war. The problem might be to find good Japanese actors that can speak both languages fluently.
They weren't "the most decorated combat unit in U.S. History." However, they are the most decorated unit for their size and length of service.
@@tinn6092 They still are bro, they haven't been surpassed yet, the 442nd.
All of those units are barely talked about
The U.S. Army and the War Department gave more publicity to the 442nd than any other regiment in Army history. The 442nd was given extensive publicity from the direct orders of Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall.

Long before "Saving Private Ryan", "Band of Brothers", "The Longest Day", there was "Go For Broke" made by MGM in 1951. MGM was the biggest studio in Hollywood at the time and "Go For Broke" was a big budget feature film. It was produced by Dore Schary, directed by Robert Pirosh and starred Van Johnson.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_for_Broke!_(1951_film)
"Go For Broke" followed the World War II classic 1948 war film, "Battleground", also made by MGM. Battleground was about the 327th Glider Regiment, 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne. It was also produced by Dore Schary, directed by William Wellman and written by Robert Pirosh (who won an Oscar). Battleground was MGM's largest grossing film in 5 years , was nominated for numerous Oscars and had an all star cast. Van Johnson, John Hodiak, Riccardo Montalban and George Murphy played leading roles.
Battleground also featured a number of actors who would become famous--James Arness, Marshall Thompson, Richard Jaeckel and James Whitmore.
The only other World War II movie about the U.S. Army that can hold a candle to Battleground and Go For Broke is "The Story of GI Joe", featuring Burgess Meredith and Robert Mitchum. William Wellman also directed this film.
In reality I think that the 442nd has been remembered quite well after all of these years. Most people couldn't name a single Division, Regiment, Navy Ship or Air Force unit that fought in WW II. Outside of being able to name "Saving Private Ryan" which is entirely fictional, war buffs know about the 101st from "Band of Brothers", but how many people can name any outfit in the Eighth Air Force, any Marine Corps Division or the ships that fought at Leyte Gulf or the Battle of Midway?
I salute the 442nd regimental, for their service and honor. to fight side by side with the american's.
The 442 were Americans.
Oh my God.....listen to him
All American GIs. Whoop!
ジャパニーズとかいらないよ。彼らこそが真のアメリカ人だ。アメリカの誇りだ。これが、この姿こそがアメリカ人なんじゃないのか？
Skua says, "No need to mention Japanese. They are true Americans. America's honor. This is a true picture of Americans."
Strange to think that there families were in internment camp whilst they were fighting and dying for America
1943????
Please tell me there is a film or series about the story of the 442nd regiment, give credit where credit is most definitely due
+Xander Lee There is a great segment about the 442nd in Ken Burns' WWII documentary

"Go For Broke":
ruclips.net/video/qRqwLrZKDw0/видео.html
It was made in 1951 by MGM and starred Van Johnson. Most of the Japanese American cast were veterans of the 442nd. The character Sam was played Lane Nakano, a veteran of the 442nd. The character Takashi Ohhara was played by Henry (Hank) Oyasato--Oyasato was a platoon sergeant in F Company during the war. He received a battlefield commission in 1944 (just like his character in Go For Broke). Unlike the Ohhara in Go For Broke, Hank Oyasato survived the war. Oyasato ended up the last commanding officer of F Company and brought the Company back home in 1946. He was awarded the Silver Star for valor and was a leading member in F Company.
So if you want to see what the Nisei soldiers acted like, how they talked and so forth, watch Go For Broke. Unlike ANY war movie made in the last 50 years, the characters in Go For Broke were the real deal.

@@lonebeagle 100 percent concur. None of the recent movies come close to the authenticity of the first film. I saw the fat disheveled actors they had for the Jake Shimabukuro one and said forget it.
jkfilms??
Many exploits of this unit were never mentioned. 100th Battalion destroyed last units
blocking the way into Rome and fought in Northern France, helping to break the German's back in the Vosges Forrest. Then shipped back to Italy to blow the hinges
off of the Gothic Line and kick down the door. They are the Army's Most Highly decorated unit. So many battles they fought and other units were given the credit for
them. It's human nature but sad. 60% of so called history is bull.
History is written by the victors,its debated if the battle of britain would have gone as smooth as it went if it wasn't for the polish pilots,most of them became aces and on near suicide missions flew after bombers into France,often getting in trouble with allied authorities,many stories untold on all sides,bravery has to be appreciated , unfortunately Churchill didnt allow the polish to parade on VE day and other units claimed all the hard work,the polish were deported many died under russia
This is not the 442
