This Xers want say mucho gracia & thank you for your services both living & dead.May God bless you all.I been a World War 2 junkie got hook after mini series called Winds of War.

At that point the Nazis were fighting for there homeland. Thus the 1000 man American 🇺🇸 causulties

It’s my deepest hope your forwarding some of those profits to his family

I just finished reading "The Daughters of Yalta." I enjoyed it a lot.

Ernie was wearing a watch when he was killed. Do you know who gave it to him?

An interesting and comprehensive look at the construction of a legend. And a work of PR genius. Undoubtedly no accident that old Joe Sr. was considered the smartest tycoon in Hollywood. He mastered the new media of his time.

You forgot Australia in your reference to the western navies. Whilst the US joined the war essentially in 1942 weeks had been fighting since 1939. Our ships were fighting in the Mediterranean against the Italians whilst our soldiers were fighting against Rommel ( as the rats of Tobruk ) and our ships were fighting against German raiders in the Indian Ocean ( ie HMAS SYDNEY ) before Pearl Harbour. Americans certainly saved Port Moresby from invasion via the battle of the Coral sea - but portray the battles of Guadalcanal as the only consequential struggle against the Japanese. In fact HALF the land forces sent out from the main Japanese base at Rabaul were sent to Papua New Guinea where Australians fought them head on. Americans are sadly ignorant of the fact that the first land defeat of those forces followed landings at Milne bay in August ‘42 ( before successes at Guadalcanal). The Japs were forced to pull out badly mauled. Once the Japanese began their retreat across the Owen Stanley Range many thousands of them died in brutal warfare against Australians. Yes - the fresh American troops fought them at Buna and claimed victory but they also relied on the experienced Jungle warfare fighting of the Aussies in that battle.

Great story! I’d like to know if there was a response from the Japanese? Did they look for survivors? If not, did they radio their command to look for any? Did they even know what had happened when the spilled fuel ignited on their starboard quarter? It seems that it would have been profitable from an intelligence viewpoint to take prisoners.

So how effective were these biplanes at finding small boats at night?

I am a war orphan. I would like to know which president did u receive a letter from?

Thank you much. very informative and educational. From someone who studies WWII Pacific/Asia, I know a fair amount already but, now know more because of this. Recommended.

😊thank you for this history lesson

X-Troop atts/dets were not usually first ashore. SS Brigades, SBS, beach recce, obstacle clearance or RN Commandos were usually first. Commandos were not usually on the first waves of troops ashore on D-Day either, you don't deploy your best fighting troops first as cannon fodder.

as a former Navy diver and a member of the Navy's first deep dive team and diving bell back in the 60's it is amazing that we never heard this story in all our training and work. Such a great story. Thank you!!

I'm a former Navy Diver & was a member of the Navy's first deep dive team and the ADSIV diving bell team. In all our training and work never heard of the Chamber Divers. Awesome story and so glad it is being told here!! Thanks so much

Thank you for your service. You are certainly one of the greatest generation as was my father. God bless you!

I recently read this very well written book about Felix Sparks and his incredible life... It was a book that I couldn't put down, and was mesmerized by the story. It moved me to tears and I thought about my Uncle and realized why he didn't want to talk about 'IT'... I thought, if this were a movie, I wouldn't believe this actually happened, and would more likely think it was just a script... just a movie... just impossible. I'm moved now, listening to the author,,,, it IS such a powerful book. Thank You Mr Kershaw... This is a story that we need to "Never Forget".... and I appreciate your honesty & accuracy in describing the awful atrocities committed by the Nazi's at Dachau. I visited Auschwitz and couldn't speak.

My Uncle Tom also had a similar path in WWII, with an Armored Division under Gen Patton, and fought in Sicily, France, Bastogne, etc.. He always attended the reunions, which were ended because of dwindling survivor numbers... I regret not attending that 'Last Reunion'... He rarely talked about the war with us... It was simply known to "Not talk about it'... I loved him very much, a wonderful man & super Uncle. He passed away 10 years ago, and I attended his funeral at the Fort Custer VA National Cemetery in Kalamazoo, MI.

Spruance excellence v good decision maker quiet reserved

My dad was captured at Dieppe, a Sgt. in the Essex Scottish. Is it your opinion that the sole purpose of the Dieppe Raid was to act as a cover for the commandos to slip in and pinch a 4 rotor Enigma? I want to write a memoir about my dad. He was a POW for the rest of the war. He survived and lived until 1973, but he suffered from extreme PTSD for the rest of his life. I have not read your book yet. I've been aware of it since it was published a few years ago and I will read it within the next few months.

Thank you, but have to wonder how the Japanese didn't figure their codes were broken, nor indeed even suspect for all a change would have cost them?

Great memory, and detailed recollection!

lives of us humans are so short. yet amazing how some individuals manage to fully fill their days. Exellent presentation. thank you, sir.

A joy to watch ☺☺

Ww2 was run by Jewish interests on both sides. Churchill zionist

excellent biography

Excellent presentation. Thank you. As an amateur student of WWll US Naval history no one earned my respect and admiration more than did Admiral Spruance. When I was a young boy my grand parents owned a home on 17 Mile Drive in Pacific Grove just three doors down from the Admiral and Mrs Spruance. I so wanted just to knock and meet him but never had the courage. I regret that to this day.

What a wonderful 37 minutes I just spent. Thank you.

Can someone please explain why Admiral Spruance was not at the surrender ceremony on September 09, 1945?
