With over 200,000 fatalties in a series of three months, the Battle of Okinawa was not only one of the last major battles of World War 2, but also the deadliest in the Pacific.
Around half of the island's population would parish due to mass self-killings, warcrimes, and crossfire.
The locals were convinced by the Japanese military that death was a preferable alternative to capture.
That is an unthinkable amount of death in such a small area! So heartbreaking 💔
100,000civilians dead on Okinawa. We lost more soldiers there than the Japanese.
If you remember Hacksaw Ridge this was very close to where Doss was saving lives.
In episode 2, Dr Sledge explained that the worst thing about the men he treated from the 1st World War wasn’t the physical injuries but that their souls had been ripped out. We see how close Eugene comes to losing his soul.
Exactly, the humanity has been ripped from these young mens souls by seeing such cruelty and heartless ness. That is enough to destroy even the strongest of souls! 💔
My uncle joined the Marines at 17. At 18, he spent 30 days fighting on Okinawa. I never spoke to him about his experience, but my father told me he found himself having to shoot through civilians who were being used as human shields by the Japanese. He passed away a few years ago and was buried with full honors at Arlington. Semper Fi, Uncle Joe.
Thank you to your Uncle, for his service!!
Your uncle was a hero. I thank him for his service.
I can only imagine the trauma he must have experienced! R.I.P. Joe!!
Okinawa became hell on earth. US dead and missing were estimated at close 12,000, and tens of thousands more wounded and "combat fatigue" cases. Fifty-seven US ships were sunk or scuttled and another ninety damaged, many by Japanese kamikazes. An estimated 110,000 Japanese soldiers died. Estimates of Okinawan civilian deaths range from 42,000 to 100,000 of a total population of 300,000. The Americans who fought there wondered what it would be like if they had to invade the Japanese home islands.
I find it so refreshing and healthy to see people watch shows like this. It helps people to understand why so many Americans love the American flag and what our past ancestors went through to keep the freedoms we have today. We are not a perfect nation, but we are not one to be messed with.
I don't know, episode 9 of Pacific hurts the same as Band of Brothers EP 9 ... and hurts a lot ... but TBH I'm so glad they didn't sugarcoat anything of this ... we must watch and feel what this human beings had to go through...
You can go to the other side of the world and man is still cruel to fellow man.
*I think Ep9 of the Pacific is even worse than Ep9 of Band of Brothers, in terms of how hard it is to watch*
I have a Japanese Arisaka rifle that one of my Grandfathers brought home from the the War. While my other Grandpa was a bomber pilot in Europe. The Japanese individual insignia was removed from it. Which was common. I just imagine how many battles this was in and lives taken...As a WW2 historian I feel it.
I knew someone who had their grandfathers Arisaka as well, his had his insignia still on the rifle. Really rare to have since they’re supposed to take the insignia off. The rifle had marks where you could tell the man did.
If only the firearms could talk. It would tell crazy stories.
I'm a vet myself, seen some crap situations in some crap places with some crap people, and I can't imagine what those guys went through. Just horrific stuff that's hard for anyone to watch. Which, of course, makes it even more important to do so.
You are so amazing and empathetic to even say this! Thank you for all you have done!
You being speechless IS the reaction. Don't feel you have to speak if you're not feeling it. Tough episode of a tough series. The Japanese only knew one way to fight. Win at ALL costs. Never surrender. The most difficult enemy one can face. Absolutely brutal and effective.
So brutal indeed! And yes the only way I could express my disbelief and sadness was with less words rather than more!
There were so many thousands of psychological casualties on Okinawa particularly. Can't imagine how any of them got through it unscathed.
Literally I don't imagine it's possible for ANY of them to have not been traumatised from such horrific experiences!
"As much as Snafu tries to rile everyone up, and he is a bit loco, he's good in combat.." Change "Snafu" to "pretty much every Marine" and it would be a great motto for the USMC.
"I didn't come here to kill old women" - Eugene Sledge
Things were totally different when I moved there in 1965, only 20 years after this. Our neighbor was a woman who had seen the ocean darkened with US landing crafts. The only vestiges of the battles were bullets and other implements that washed out of the soil with every typhoon.
"It is well that war is so terrible, lest we should grow too fond of it."
General Robert E. Lee
A good comment I read a while back on the Pacific, regarding the disparity with the European theater of war,
in Band of Brothers, the soldiers got torn at the soul
in the Pacific, the marines got torn at the seams
Whenever I think back about this series, the first thing I remember is the scene of Eugene with the dying old woman in his arms. It enbodies all the crueltirs war brings, but helps Eugene find a little bit of his humanity again.
A very brutal and depressing episode of TV, in this point quite similar to episode 9 of Band of Brothers, though a completely different scenario 😢
That is actually a great point, I didn't consider, he would have found some humanity in that and it would've eased a bit of the inhumanity he had constantly been going through!!
My grandfather was on Okinawa for only four months and had nightmares about it for the next sixty-eight years.
What is usually overlooked in the Okinawa campaign is that the Navy lost almost 5,000 men, more then the Army with 4800, and the Marines with 2,800!
Following the battle of Iwo Jima, Admiral Chester Nimitz best described the Marines' heroics..."Uncommon valor was a common virtue." This uncommon valor was prevalent throughout the entire Pacific campaign.
In the book he talks about the dying woman in the hut and how another marine pulled the trigger to end her misery
Okinawa always is the episode that reminds me how weirdly dissonant the japanese are with their history.
As a german the crimes of the nazis will always haunt us, we are reminded of them almost every day.
I feel like its very important to have such a strong reminder and a culture around it, even when half of my family are polish refugees from WW2 while they were still children.
The way japan distances itself from the atrocities they commited is crazy to me. The governmet forcing museums, history/school books to be rewritten to remove the crimes that the japanese commited to their own people and to their neighbours(see unit 731, but I recommend a strong stomach for this one).
You know these weirdos who deny the holocaust? Imagine they were your government.
oh, poor girl... :( I´m so sorry Jade, that you have to watch this...
16:00 the worst thing about this scene is it really did happen. Eugene Sledge described it in his book, but in real life another marine actually shot the woman holding the ball. She didn’t die being comforted by Eugene, she was just killed in cold blood.
That was rough. Go get a warm tight hug from someone. Appreciate your heartfelt reaction.
My grandpa fought in the Philippians and recalls that the Japanese would strap explosives to children and send them to the GI's on patrol. The children would ask for candy and then blow themselves up. He recalls that they had to start shooting children as a result.
Thanks for the upload, Jade! Have a great week!
Once you understand what they went through, you look at them differently..
Congrats, this show no longer gets more painful!
the Japanese Army ( the people? ) didn´t care much about the Okinawans at the time... they were nothing more than cannon fodder :(
Like Hitler, Tojo was willing to kill his entire population for a stalemate. Bastards!
'humanity is put through the grinder and whatever is out the other side is just bits' well said
As far as the Japanese attitude towards the Okinawan natives, it wasn't really hate so much as utter disregard. They hated the Americans, but viewed the natives as little more than insects, if that. Given that the IJA were past masters at cruelty and brutality, the locals on the various islands really took a beating. Not in the numbers that the Chinese did, but they suffered extensively.
Hi Jade hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
I can't imagine the absolute hell these battles must've been.
Literally, mindblowing!! 💔
Thank You Jade !!!
Great Reaction as usual !!!
The Book "With the Old Breed" (at Pelilu and Okinawa) is the work Eugene Sledge !!! All shod read it !!!
You are absolutely the best ever. Jade you never cease to amaze me no matter what reactions come. If I had the month off work and came along with you with the reactions, I'd enjoy every bit of it because it, like you, is worth it. You are absolutely gorgeous as always btw. I know that I've recommended the final seasons of Clone Wars along with the Bad Batch seasons 1 and 2 surrounding the likes of clone force 99, rebels seasons 1 to 4, Ahsoka and Mandalorian season 3, I also suggest Parks and Recreation. Pretty hilarious series. I actually have a co-worker who served as a meteorologist in the air force for 21 years from 1984 to 2004 and was stationed here in the states along with Germany
Thank you so very much Randy!! And yes I definitely want to get back to Clone Wars soon!!
I smile every time this tough Aussie lady posts! Love your stuff!
Awww you are so lovely! Thank you so much 🙌
The last episode is a relief. Hang in there ;-)
Howdy Joob. You are the bravest reactor. You have a sensitive soul, yet you don’t hesitate to tackle difficult subjects. Honest emotions.
Thank you so dearly!!
The Japanese High Command told the Local Okinawa Population that the Americans would commit horrible atrocities toward them. Anything to put fear and chaos into them. As far as telling them, “ The Americans will eat you..” They believed and unfortunately believed the Japanese. This compelled them to commit Suicide by actually jumping off the cliffs in Okinawa to their Deaths. Mother taking their Children with them, rather than surrender to the Allies.
This show is amazing & I just started watching your Halo videos your awesome whatever game or reactions you do next look forward to it ^^
This is simply a taste of the brutality they experienced and what a peer war would be today. The Japanese were incredibly tough fighters. Disciplined, brutal, skilled. The Pacific war was very much a give no quarter and take none war. The Australians learned that early on and adjusted accordingly.
ATO/ETO and PTO combat vets had VERY different experiences.
So bloody brutal and disciplined! It's heartbreaking 💔
@@MovieJoob I suggest looking up the Hardcore History episodes called "Supernova in the East." It is a fantastic look into how the whole war even came about.
💖💖🤗🤗👋👋
Thing is...
This is the watered down version.
💔💔💔
Thank you for watching this with us. It is necessary to watch so that we understand that war is so terrible we must avoid it when we can, but realize that such horrors only grow worse if we let madmen gain power. The Japanese at this time viewed all other races as non-human and Okinawans were not considered Japanese. When we view other people as less worthy than ourselves, we begin the process of becoming less human. It is a good thing to surpass others with our achievements, but this does not make us more worthy as a human. Being great at Math, or Music, or oration can set us above others in a particular field, but the true worth of a human being is in the amount of joy and happiness that can be given to others and not in the amount of admiration demanded.
Thats wat men are born to do ...on all sides
I'd love some horror movie reactions in october, it's spooky season!! Would be great to have more other stuff than all these war movie reactions imo.
Ooh interesting!! Do you have any suggestions!
I think the villagers house. The baby, the kid shot in the head. Just that entire seen. The old women everything. I think that would be the hardest to deal with out of all the terror and everything. To get snapped out of your cold blooded killer mindset. To realize oh god what are we doing. Then realize the only way to survive is to go back to that mindset. To just kill everything in front of you to make it home. I feel like if I was sledge. That would of been the end for me. I would of walked out of that house and shot my self. Crazy.
Lol, the fake crying
That was the worst one dear, I had already seen it, cried my eyes out, but I cried for your tears. Be well, please.
Thank you so much!! It was so awfully heart breaking!
Are u listening to only the right side audio of the movie?
I would much rather watch your reactions than listen to those reactors who Just-Can't-Shut=UPPPPPPPPPPPPP.
What a great great great reaction... The Marines in the Pacific had it alot worse than the Army in Europe... Try watching Flags of Our Fathers or letters from Iwo Jima both movies directed by Clint Eastwood...
There were more army soldiers in the Pacific than marines, and they did most of the fighting.
And there is no "worse", it was hell for all involved, the army didn't have it easy at monte cassino or hurtgen forest.
Episode 9 is the worst episode of the Pacific. That also makes it the best episode of the Pacific. Just like episode 9 of Band of Brothers.
I completely understand that!!
I am a Gulf War era veteran. I was Navy and did not go there. I worked on technical equipment that contributed to the attacks. 70,000 Iraqi's were killed and 30,000 of those were civilians. Now we are "helping" the Ukraine fight against Russia, but they had a peace treaty in place, and the USA state department sent diplomats to Ukraine and convinced Zelinski to cancel the treaty he had promised to sign if elected.
Okinawa wasn’t that bad… it was worse.

Hi Jade how are you doing? May I recommend you see the WW2 movie FURY Staring Brad Pitt . A film by David Ayer.
I'm well Andrew, how are you!? I have actually reacted to it on the channel! It was incredible!
Watched the first couple of episodes…just a bunch of racists is what they portray. So no thank you.
So true. The Japanese were indeed the most racist people in the world. They even considered other Asians as sub-human - as you could have seen in this episode by how they treated the civilians on Okinawa - who were supposed to be their fellow countrymen. Had you been brought up German after WW2 you would have learned to be ashamed of yourself for being German. In Japan, however, they are taught WW2 was America's fault, and that the Japanese war criminals executed after the war were "martyrs".
So yeah, when you called the Japanese racists, you really nailed it!
