- Presented by the U.S. Navy and produced by The March Of Time, War On The Seas (MN-1532) is a short Navy film from 1943 that tells viewers the story of the Navy from its recovery of Pearl Harbor up through the invasion of North Africa at the end of 1942. The film opens with Japanese footage of its pilots climbing into planes and taking off from an air craft carrier on 7 December 1941. Japanese bombers fly through the sky toward Pearl Harbor. Japanese forces drop bombs on U.S. Navy targets at Pearl Harbor. Footage shows Japanese strikes on U.S. ships and grounded planes; the U.S. ships are on fire and sinking in the harbor. The film then shows viewers the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the damage to the Navy’s Pacific Fleet, including destroyed planes and hangers reduced to rubble. Navy salvage divers begin work in Pearl Harbor (03:14). In Japan, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo and his war cabinet pose for a photo (04:03). Adolf Hitler and his generals meet and review plans for war at a mountain location (05:19). The film shows some of the ships and submarines that make up Germany’s naval force (06:42). The U.S. Navy sets up defensive positions and sea mines along the Atlantic coast (07:20). Men load up Naval patrol bombers (07:55); a bomber-what appears to be a PBY-5 Catalina-rolls into the water from a ship and then takes off. The PBY-5 patrols the skies looking for German U-boats. German officers in a U-boat prepare to dive the ship (09:15); the Navy’s PBY-5 bombs a U-boat. The film shows footage of cargo ship convoys on the Atlantic. A German U-boat surfaces (10:44) and prepares to fire a torpedo at a cargo ship in the dark of night. The cargo ship is hit and is engulfed in flames. U.S. Navy forces fire on a German U-boat. Nazi Luftwaffe long-range bombers take off from German bases along the coast of Norway (13:00). German dive bombers attack Allied war ships (13:32), which fire anti-aircraft guns at the Nazi planes. British naval forces maneuver in the Mediterranean Sea (14:47). British ships fire on Nazi aircraft. A German plane is hit and crashes into the sea (15:48). Admiral Chester Nimitz meets with officers to plan naval operations in the Pacific (16:30). A U.S. carrier striker force sails to engage Japanese forces near the Marshall Islands (17:32). American planes take off from the carriers while other ships fire heavy guns on Japanese targets. U.S. ships unload bombers (19:00) at a harbor in a New Zealand or Australian port. Next, the film shows viewers footage from the Battle of Midway in June 1942. Members of the Navy run out onto a carrier’s runway (20:22); Navy pilots meet in ready rooms to review the mission. Pilots man their Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless dive bombers on the deck of the carrier. They fire up their engines and taxi into takeoff position. The planes take off and fly in formation on their way to the Japanese fleet. Navy ships fire anti-aircraft guns at approaching Japanese planes (22:50), most likely Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters and Aichi D3A dive bombers. A U.S. carrier is hit. Japanese planes take fire from U.S. guns and some crash into the ocean. A Navy squadron (25:12) begins bombing Japanese carriers. A Navy submarine is supplied before setting out in the Pacific (26:24). A Navy crew prepares to dive their submarine (27:48). The submarine fires a torpedo and hits a Japanese ship. A U.S. convoy of transport ships and warcraft sails from San Diego to the Solomon Islands carrying troops of the 1st Marine Division (28:45). Marines swarm the beaches of Guadalcanal in August 1942 (29:29). Marines march down a jungle road (29:56). Elsewhere, U.S. forces fire heavy artillery guns. Footage shows a naval battle at night in November 1942, with the firing of guns illuminating the dark night. U.S. forces invade North Africa during November 1942 (31:35). Navy ships fire guns on Axis warships. U.S. jeeps and supplies are unloaded from ships (32:20). A Navy ship is christened and put out at sea (33:30). The film shows more shots of newly built Navy combat ships leaving the docks, then concludes with footage of Navy ships at sea.

A fight for American democracy and freedom. That's what my father said kept him going in the war. He served in the Atlantic theater of the war. He passed away in 2002. 🇺🇲
Ray Bin..Your Dad was/is a good man. My uncle Ted served in the US Merchant Marine during WW2. He was sunk twice on the way to Murmansk and Archangel Russia. But he did survive both episodes. Tough dude!
American cowboy, soldier. Plain and simple...first one
God bless you'll!!
Pacific, Indian Oceans and China sea. Hundreds of Islands. Look it up on the charts.
@@tedhernandez2394 Yes...the Merchant Marine caught hell early in the Atlantic theater of war....my father said when a tanker got hit.."nobody got out alive". The way he said it was sobering.
The distinctive voice and style of the principal narrator, Westbrook Van Voorhis, should be acknowledged.
He did the Crusade In The Pacific series as well.
The narrator’s voice is not distinctive for the time-period. It is called a “Trans-Atlantic” or “Mid-Atlantic” accent. It was that cultivated by Stage Actors, and Radio Announcers, especially in the News. Walter Chronkite was the last News Anchor with a distinctive Trans/Mid-Atlantic Accent in the USA, but various actors who employed the accent continued into the 1980s.
The accent was though to be “Mid-way” between the New England “Upper-Class” accent, and that of England. Linguistics have shown that to be not quite True, but the accent did cultivate an air of culture or sophistication. We have lately seen more actors learning the accent, and the variations of accents of that period (where the various regional dialects and accents were very, very different in the 1930s to 1950s than they were even in the 1960s/70s and 80s) as the demand grows for more Period Films.
Given that most today have grown-up with movies and TV, it is hard to remember that the Movie Industry, as it exists today, is not yet even 100 years old, and the Television Industry is barely older than 70 years.

This is from Crusade in the Pacific. I think it is Episode 12, or so.
My father Louis served in the Navy from 1944 to'46.
Please accept thanks for his service. Kind regards from Oz 🇦🇺
Hats off to the heroes flying Vindicators , with a few chance for coming back aboard.
And even less chance the torpedoes would work
Warm tribute and gratitude from Wallis and Futuna Islands to these heroes who also landed here just 60 years ago on 28th May 1942 to secure the South Pacific 🙏🙏
At 23:32 there is a Benson-class Destroyer (which would have been called a Livermore or Bristol-class during WWII) that has Bofors mounted on the after deckhouse, with a basket for a floater-net (technically two Floater-net baskets, and both without the floater-nets). These didn’t get installed until late-42 or 1943 (the Floater-Nets not until 1943/44).
Great Movie 😊
Great video and thanks for posting.
The pig boats could have sunk a lot more Japanese shipping if the American Navel ordinance department hadn't sabotaged the war effort with defective torpedoes.
US SUBS fought for over two years with a defective weapon. IT WAS NEVER TESTED PEACETIME. Same thing happened in Germany, tho the problem was solved after a few heads rolled, LITERALLY
I don't think they "sabotaged the war effort "....be more of "screwed up the war effort". There's a movie made of how the misfortunes of faulty torpedoes ruined submarine attacks - with Navy top brass unwilling to recognize the issue early on until a submarine commander finally proved the torpedoes were faulty with actual test firing.
I can't remember the movie title but it seemed accurate in depicting actual events. 🇺🇸
Ordinance tendency to ignore and not give credibility to officers who were on U.S submarines report's on defective torpedoes is a black mark as blood is on their hands. The old T.V show silent service is a truth sayer in fact addresses the exact problem faced by these submarines in pacific theater.
As it was not sabotaged,disagreed.The fishes were a result of a lack of money.Winning wars cost money.
@@Russia-bullies Criminal negligence at that level is sabotage and it was not due to a lack of money. They absolutely refused to listen to reports from the field. They should have been shot.
This is so terrific amazing thank you so much

Thanks for this document,from Italy.👍
1949 packards and buicks. Both new post war body styles. buick was a beauty, so sad packard made a bathtub. Prewar cars were to die for.
My stepbrother had a Buick straight eight with dynaflow transmission. Absolutely gorgeous high gloss black and chrome. He ran it out of oil rather than wait for a plug to come in the mail. 60 years ago.
Love it, great job
Danke!

spectacular documentary
Anniversary today of 81st. Let's us never forget. God bless
For a time the Japanese owned the Pacific Ocean - the Americans, the Dutch, the British and Australians were rousted out but not for want of fighting back.
The crew of the Enterprise regarded it as "Us against the Japanese Empire".
The Enterprise was my favorite aircraft carrier...they should've saved it instead of scrapping her.. in 1959 I believe.
🇺🇸
True. My dad was on USS Houston, 1940-42, when she was sunk at Sunda Strait. He survived, made it to Austrailia, then served aboard USS Isabel until discharged in 1945.
Amazingly documented history of WWII. Never before seen.

It has been on tv since the 50's.
It is my considered opinion that if we were thinking today as we thought in the 40's when we were actually at war this mess we find ourselves in today would shrink to nill!!
Thankfully, Pres Trump, was able to get a few things done,with our military. On the world stage,we would have been feeble.
Hooyah Navy
Nice logo, mate!
Timestamp keeps blocking out the subtitles. RUclips automatically generates time stamps therefore it is unnecessary to have a second overlapping the video.
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous RUclips users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.

I'd really like to find some of the music they use as backing tracks. Any ideas?
Really hard to say but you might try Shazam app
Battle of the Solomons is when the 5 Sullivan Brothers were lost...
The one narrator sounds EXACTLY like the voice-over actor on Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove.
Bettys bombing Pearl? 8-barrel 2pdr QF AA were cool.
they may be "Nell's" but right never made it to Pearl.

Our flag must be flown and respected for all the Heroes who fought and died for us and our country, to fail, those individuals must be shunned and sent from our country.
4:00 that we had EVER faced,.. except that EVERY example of a newer kind of naval vessel had not been in attendance that afternoon.
.not sure about 'em: somethin' to with aer'-O-planes i'm guessin! ..oh well, what do I know? i'm a hick!!
Fight tactical and strategic planning
why is the clock right in the way
Periscope films does that to discourage people from stealing their footage and reuploading it for profit

Isn't wartime-created information fascinating?
Countries tended to optimistic, and even when they were aware of it, over-estimating enemy losses was a pretty common event.
These inter-war films are fascinating to watch and we all love the footage of historical ships and battles, but I have to chuckle just a bit over the American claims of what Japanese / German intentions and wartime aims were. First of all, Tokyo and Berlin hardly cooperated in much of anything, let alone envision some grand link up in India! The Japanese never seriously considered invading North America, but rather concentrated in carving out their Pacific sphere of control, seizing India and defeating China. To illustrate the lack of cooperation between Berlin and Tokyo, Hitler made one of his worst blunders by declaring war on the United States, expecting Japan to do the same against the Soviet Union.
20/20 hindsight.
The convoy route to Murmansk ain’t in the Atlantic.
I love American Rifles, whether .225 or 16’ inches.
An interesting look at period thoughts on Japanese motives. The theory was that Japan worked with Germany to redirect supplies from England - thus choking the British ability to stand against the Germans. Further, the film offers the theory that Japan could overrun the entire far east, including British India, before invading the mainland United States. This kind of scare-mongering propaganda makes sense considering the reluctance of the US to get involved in Asia in an tangible way.
We were in china with great white navy , in 1920-30’s
@ Gabe Ginorio
We had been steadily strangling their oil and steel supplies and eventually provoked them into a fight. They joined the Axis for support and in hopes of dividing the U.S.'s military strength. And the "sneak" attack wasn't the plan at all. A Japanese rep. was in Washington DC delivering a formal letter stating their complaints and intentions but was being made to wait unnecessarily to be called when the attack began. To your point, there was propaganda manufactured by the U.S. As far as Germany goes, the U.S. had been staunchly isolationist post WWI. We hadn't wanted to get involved then either. Roosevelt had decided to "lend/lease" warships and other war equipment to Great Britain (instead of officially supplying them with the weapons of war) only shortly before Pearl Harbor in an effort to continue staying out of the war. Pearl Harbor gave us the legitimate reason to declare war on Japan and Germany.
@@geoben1810 I believe the sanctions against Japan were in response to their invasion and atrocities in Manchuria.
This part of the film was nonsense. Japan's strategy was always "grab and hold" followed by a negotiated peace where they could sell out the Germans. So they did NOT want a quick German victory but a long drawn out struggle in Europe. While Hitler only cared about Japan as long as it diverted supplies from Europe.
@@geoben1810
You are really wrong.
The only thing "strangling" the Japanese was their unwillingness to consider not occupying Chinese territory and committing atrocities on the Chinese people - Nanking being only one appalling example.
The Japanese government sent its "ultimatum" message to Washington on December 7, intending for it to arrive just minutes before the carrier attack groups.
It was delayed in translation at the Japanese Embassy, because the diplomats weren't aware that this particular message was THE war message.
The very fact that Japan became one of the very top economic powers in the world just a couple of decades AFTER being forced out of its overseas conquests shows that they didn't NEED to try and create a militaristic Empire. Their leaders simply couldn't bring themselves to back down from a war that, mathematically, they couldn't win.
None of the commands given in German are correct by the way
S ee
What’s up with all the photos being taken of that goon squad at the 4:09 mark ? I hope they were labeled “These are the idiots that started the war they wound up losing ”
Of course the guy from georgia starts with the racist shit lol
Здравствуйте, спасибо. Сегодня 2022-й год : война = продолжение политики крайне безумными средствами - сегодня достаточно информации для понимания что страна обладающая превосходящей промышленностью, запасами ресурсов имеет возможность вынудить менее обеспеченные ресурсами страны на начало военных действий (пример Германии и Японии в прошлом) только для сохранения существующих структур управления. Извините

At the same time US banks financed the NS regime.
Along with banks of other countries around the world. Highly complex subject. And now today Google and other tech monsters help Red China while resisting helping the US
How asleep this country was,and how asleep it seems once again to be,saints preserve us as Satan is working over time all across the world 🌎. The fact is that history has a tendency to repeat itself. We are strong together weakened divided an if taken unaware by fixation on video games a game of how much do we have to loose can become a reality.

lend lease to Russia ? I thought Russia did everything themselves according to the youtube historians.
Russia, yep and lend lease to China also.
the youtube available video about U.S. factory production winning the war gives lots of details about the U.S. incredible production of all things to send to Britain, Russia, China and our own troups. American Spam fed Russian troops riding in GM trucks on their way to Berlin. The Germans got all hung up in creating "wonder weapons" that they could not produce in mass because they were stuck up and bureaucratic, and socialistic. Thats what won the war. Now however we've allowed China to take the productive lead and we have to be very quick to avert authoritarian aggression.
and trump says they are looser.god forgive him.
huh?
What an idiotic piece of propaganda. The US only entered the war in December 1941😂😂😂 apart from making money from selling weapons🙄 And didn’t see any serious action until well into 1942. Three years after the war started😂😂😂
Japan started it in China. The US ended it in 1945. Because Britain REFUSED to listen to Churchill practically ranting about Germany buildup in the 30s, And refusing or unable to honor it pledge to aid Poland in event of attack, Britain began the war a superpower empire. And ended it a second rate military power and economic basketcase. Only its colonial empire spared it the economic despair of much of postwar Europe.
The 3000 dead Americans at Pearl Harbor saw serious action in 1941. So did 500 Marines holding on for dear life at Wake Island for 3 hellish weeks in 1941. 60 of whom died and 440 captured and tortured after inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese. Also seeing heavy action in 1941 were 120,000 stranded Americans fighting for their lives in the Philippine Islands. They were attacked Dec 1941 and held out till May 1942. The American were fighting their arses off though they were ill prepared and had no chance at that point. The Japanese should have sued for peace immediately after seeing how the US defenses fought on Wake and the Philippines.
The American Navy did an amazing job of circling the wagons for defense in December 1941 and Jan 1942 and then going on the offensive attacking Japanese bases and their fleet at Coral Sea, Midway and Guadalcanal by April 1942.
I am a US Army officer but the men of the US Navy and US Marines had balls of solid rock in 1942.
I 💜 propaganda, especially if well-done.
Mixing simultaneous attacks of S Asia to secure oil fields by twin engine bombers Nell with attack o n Pearl...
