Operation Downfall… Allied Commanders estimated: - Over 1 million Allied casualties, some even estimated up to 2-3 million. - Nearly a third of the entire Japanese populations becoming casualties (both military and civilians, including effects from starvation, disease, exposure, guerrilla warfare, crime (civil/war), fanatical political/military enforcement, and getting caught in the crossfire). - It would take over a year (at minimum) to fully secure the Japanese Mainland by military force. - Extremely high-risk of prolonged Japanese Underground Resistance. Even within territory completely void of the Imperial Military. - Extreme chances of not being efficient to aid all refugees and prisoners of war. - Economic Recovery/Reconstruction after hostilities would be very long and difficult.
@@吉村卓-f8s there was no international law back then. And Japanese themselves were committing cannibalism and mass war crimes around the Pacific and China.
I noticed that too. But considering this is the largest amphibious landing in the history of warfare, all the other ships are packed to the gills with soldiers, tanks, weapons, ammunition and God knows what else. Maybe they didn't have extra room for officers meetings on the other ships. So they got their own private VIP boat
I don’t doubt that the Japanese would’ve put up a fierce resistance considering they would’ve thrown every man, woman, and child at the invaders. But the Allies would’ve came out on top, although very high casualties and wounded. A very bloody end to an already horrific war.
There only would have been widespread resistance in the first few months or years. After that the IJA would be so undermanned and undersupplied major resistance would only be limited to large population centers, and most small towns would probably initially see resistance as the tanks rolled in, but then every man would be slaughtered, and the women would likely be used as sex slaves.
@@nampham162 Yes, before the landing, USN and USAAC would drop tons of napalm bomb to ensure that most of Japanese in the beach were well done. Besides, USA would starve Japanese for many months before naval invasion with submarines, naval mines and air strike.
@@nampham162 Yeah Paratroopers would have secured the Airfield already, Battleship would have destroyed the whole island and the Japanese might not have so much suicide weapon because of Allies strategic bombing
It was calculated that another million military deaths would happen,that's both sides combined and not to mention the Japanese citizens would have charged the beach with only their fists
@@duyeongkim2941 impossible task. - Koreans would have revolted - Japan had almost no ships left to transport them; the US navy sunk them all - the Soviets were already going to capture Korea
Everyone: literally dying The cameraman: teleportation, flying, invincibility GJ Warfaregaming, this was great. I'll be looking forward to the next episode!
Real life estimated casualties were supposed to be over a million, and this operation is also the reason why America doesn’t produce any more purple heart medals as they still have so many left from the reserves for the soldiers who were going to participate in the invasion of mainland Japan.
There's an old WW2 movie about just that. Shows the training of an average soldier then ends with him being shot in the head at Normandy before even getting to the beach
There was an Anime called The Cockpit or something It had one of the japanese protagonist at the verge of the time Atom Bomb was about to fall The guy was hellbent on ramming the rocket and blew up a big ship The American also called them Baka because it's so dumb
This was great! I was looking forward to watching this for ages and it didn't disappoint. I am surprised however no other prototype tanks were used to defend the home islands. Think it also would of been cool to see a battle on the kanto planes outside Tokyo itself. Still this was very good so thank you. :)

I'm 16:34 into this video as I type this. I had to pause it and say this video is epic. You've accomplished what Hollywood WWII movies strive for. It's total anarchy. Explosions, non-stop gunfire, yelling. I loved the wide shots you used to show the size of the battle. And the fact that this game keeps the destroyed tanks and dead soldiers on-screen gives it a more realistic feel. Not a lot of games keep that stuff around. They disappear after a few seconds. Anyways, fantastic video. Very entertaining 🇺🇸
Yo I appreciate the kind words! I'd like to add the fact I barely even get paid for this producing this entertainment compared to the tens of thousands of dollars people get paid in Hollywood really makes me scratch my head. Thanks for visit
@@warfare11gaming Thanks for the entertainment! It's pretty baffling how a bunch of people sitting around in Hollywood coming up with terrible movie ideas get paid 6 figures.

16:12 I was confused at first why are they fighting in flooded trenches, then the flames came in and it ticked in my head. Of course, this helps little to the soldier fighting in it regardless, but the theoritical idea conceived in practice is really a remarkable depth in the scene.

Gotta Love the M4A3(Late) Sherman Tanks and the M26 Pershing Heavy Tanks and the Type 3 Chi-Nu 's aka "Japanese Tiger's" man!

This reminds me of an alternate WW2 book I read years ago. It's called 1945 by the late Robert Conroy, a US Army veteran and history teacher. Basically, after Hiroshima and Nagasaki we're nuked a military coup happened at the Japanese imperial palace and the emperor was put up as a puppet leader by extremist in the military like Tojo. In reality l, the military coup failed to breach the inner palace walls before the military police and infantry units (still loyal to the emperor) arrived and crushed the coup.
This is too real, horrifying! Fabulous graphics and great battles. The only minor criticisms I have, are there wasn’t a massive arial bombardment like D-Day and there weren’t any sword wielding maniacs. But I’m sure there must be in the actual game? Loved the kamikaze bombmen running at the tanks, Bonzaiiii!!
At the beginning of the video, I saw an air base protruding into the sea, but I think that such an air base is the former Japanese Navy Tsuiki Airfield (currently the Air Self-Defense Force Tsuiki Air Base).
Doubt it. Even if they were delivered, they probably would have been pulled sooner than later. Hunnicutt stated the tank was extremely heavy and had high maintenance costs.
I do hope there is gonna be more videos relating to this, and if there will be I would suggest one of them being about American/Japanese soldiers decades later still having to fight pockets of resistance from Imperial troops that still refuse to surrender
Nice video about campaign, I guess you are the very first one to recreate the operation in a big scene :D Btw, i think the American should have already learned from the Normandy landing in France and they should better get shields for the landing troop in order to minimize the casualties. That landing took so many troops I think. Looking forward to the next episode, maybe to Osaka then to Tokyo. Keep up!.
ya, the operation for Kanto should be safer, get the shields for the troops before landing and more battleships shooting the Japanese gun holes first to minimize casualties and secure the landing lol.
American bombers would sweep them first then the troops would land In D-Day the bombers missed and kept carpeting the deeper part of the land instead of the bunkers and beaches The generals planned correctly to make less casualties but the bombers mistake cost many lives
3:41 "let's go show those goose stepping sausage eaters what the good ol' U.S.A. can do!". I think the game server had a hiccup since the sausage eaters had unconditionally surrendered on May 7, 1945. But aside from that glitch, this was an awesome video! So much history went into this. What most people didn't know was that after the Emperor surrendered on August 15, renegade troops tried to overthrow the government and keep fighting. Had they succeeded, the invasion of Japan would have gone forward, despite the A-bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. One other point. In 1945 the word "nuke" did not yet exist. A-bomb was the word of the day.
Yes, and part of the plan was mass chemical attacks on the island. We would have killed every living thing there. We'd have had to, because they would have sent kids and grandmas at us, with pointy sticks, if nothing else.
Goose stepping sausage eaters! I've never heard Japanese people referred to like that. That's what one of them guys in the landing craft called it in the video though 🤣🤣👍👍
What really stopped the Japanese in their tracks was that song called Fiatagata Gotcha! by The Moon Roses came on their radios and they were too busy dancing to the song to notice the U.S. ships floating there in front of them, haha 🌙🌹😎
Most of the soldiers who survived D-Day fought in France and Germany and went home, they weren’t sent to the Pacific theater… Also the Marines didn’t fight in France and Germany they mainly fought in the Pacific
Please don't forget that things like this actually happened on Iwo Jima, at least those who actually exchanged lives on the front lines won't be able to enjoy this video.
Los altos mandos militares de EEUU estaban concientes que una gran invasión Aliada a Japón seria desastrosa en bajas, mucho peor que en Okinawa y Normandía. Por esa razón, las bombas atómicas eran la unica forma de acabar con la resistencia nipona a rendirse. Sin embargo, Japón se rindio por el temor que genero al Emperador Hiro-Hito la invasión sovietica en el norte de Japón, no queria ver el mismo destino de Manchukuo derrotado por el Ejército Rojo.
It's bloody awesome, my one small gripe is that they could've just used a normal Sherman at the part where the first tank engagement was, that Pershing was a little overkill
Something about the Japanese plan to defend the homeland. They knew that there were only two possible landing sites, so they fortified the hell out of those two spots. Basically, they were willing to sacrifice 10 million people, to inflict maximum casualties on the allies. The first line of defence was what remained of their army. The second line consisted of volunteers who were given shoddily made rifles. Hell, even school girls were conscripted to fight. They were given melee weapons, anything to inflict casualties. Some had pikes, others had knifes. Hell, some were given leather Awls. The goal of the defence was to inflict so many casualties upon the allies, that the people at home would call for a peaceful end to the war. Another thing is, America started to produce so many Purple Hearts in anticipation of this invasion, that the Purple Hearts that have been handed out since World War 2, were from that stockpile. It still hasn’t run out. So any Purple Heart that is given out, is most likely from the massive amount created for the invasion.
I think this would be an outstanding science fiction alternate timeline TV series..... Similar, but not the same, as The Man in the High Castle. More action though.
Bro to be honest, this was not that great compared to your Japanese invasion of America video. But as always, the way you make the battle scenes is a work of art.
The Japanese invasion of America had a bit more creative freedom but stating it was better from cinematic, quality, performance, map, and storyline perspective, makes no sense. There's not a thing, that this video doesn't do better
@@warfare11gaming Don't take my comment in a wrong way bro. I am just sharing my personal thought about this video. I had different expectation after watching the previous fictional invasion videos.
Rather intense. But the Americans didn't use their naval gunfire support much. I'd think they would have pounded that beach and behind it for hours. Then send in carrier based fighters and bombers to paste anything I missed. Plenty of defenders were in the open, easily visible. In particular their artillery, which would be my first target. Always get the other guys artillery. Then send in the Marines.
Americans tactics would have large squadrons of heavy bombers carpeting the beach not to repeat the same mistake they did the last time back in D-Day where the bombers missed and targetted the deeper part of the land Airborne would be inserted the night before Navy would be firing their cannons at the coordinates the Airborne troops provided Naval Aviators would be going back and forth bombing and striking emplacements Army would proceed to sweep through
Just for a sense of scale: the War Department ordered so many Purple Hearts be minted for this operation that we have yet to run out of them. _Half a million_ wounded were expected.
Wonder why they didn't consider creating the American foreign legion & recruiting an army from places like china Vietnam & the Philippines to prepare for this
@@SlashinatorZ The US Army wanted Downfall to be as American an operation as possible. They wanted to place Japan under American occupation,not allied occupation like Germany. The British,Australians, Canadians, and Indians,all wanted to larger role in the ground invasion and were prepared to send a Commonwealth Army Group to serve under US command, but MacArthur wouldn't go for it. The plans before the invasion was called off called for a commomwealth Corps made of one Australian division,one British division, and one Canadian division under a British general. The Indians were left off with MacArthr saying there were too many issues coordinating with them. Maybe that would have changed had the invasion actually happened.As it was, the British,Australians, and Canadians were able to contribute their air and naval forces in mass because the US Navy and Army Air Force didnt have the same problems accepting help the way the US Army did.
Not to be a nit picker, nukes did not exist yet. Those two bombs were *Atomic Bombs.* Had they been Nukes, Japan wouldn't exist, nor would the Philippines or anyone in the nearby area. The US, China and Russia would be almost helpless in dealing with nuclear fallout in the jet stream either ^^; AWESOME video!
............. dude ............ Atomic Bombs are *Nuclear Bombs* . What you probably are imagining are Thermonuclear bombs. But they are not that powerful enough to wipe out an entire country, let alone the surrounding countries. That's just an over-exaggeration of what a nuke can do.
@@VaciliNikoMavichin Hiroshima 200,000 died many later from radiation sickness in Nagasaki 150,000 died also many form radiation sickness 350,000 deaths and those aren’t atomic bombs
The biggest thing missing was the intensity of the pre invasion bombardment. The actual bombardment would be according to doctrine two weeks to a month anything in the open would be annihilated. Overall excellent. There's a few minor things wrong but I understand that you don't want to annoy the algorithm. Semper Fidelis
Operation Downfall…
Allied Commanders estimated:
- Over 1 million Allied casualties, some even estimated up to 2-3 million.
- Nearly a third of the entire Japanese populations becoming casualties (both military and civilians, including effects from starvation, disease, exposure, guerrilla warfare, crime (civil/war), fanatical political/military enforcement, and getting caught in the crossfire).
- It would take over a year (at minimum) to fully secure the Japanese Mainland by military force.
- Extremely high-risk of prolonged Japanese Underground Resistance. Even within territory completely void of the Imperial Military.
- Extreme chances of not being efficient to aid all refugees and prisoners of war.
- Economic Recovery/Reconstruction after hostilities would be very long and difficult.

Great job with the maps and opening briefing.
Thanks man
I do hope there is gonna be more videos relating to this, and if there will be I would suggest one of them being about American/Japanese soldiers decades later still having to fight pockets of resistance from Imperial troops that still refuse to surrender
Not a bad idea. I like it. Thanks for your suggestion
Everytime seeing this is always give a huge Goosebumps & terrifying feels
Well, this is a suprise. Good job, I sense a potential series happening with this being its start.
Nice video about campaign, I guess you are the very first one to recreate the operation in a big scene :D Btw, i think the American should have already learned from the Normandy landing in France and they should better get shields for the landing troop in order to minimize the casualties. That landing took so many troops I think. Looking forward to the next episode, maybe to Osaka then to Tokyo. Keep up!.
Yes, also the japan arty should be gone by US airforce before
ya, the operation for Kanto should be safer, get the shields for the troops before landing and more battleships shooting the Japanese gun holes first to minimize casualties and secure the landing lol.
Same thought man! They should have tanks or air crafts to backup their invasion.
American bombers would sweep them first then the troops would land
In D-Day the bombers missed and kept carpeting the deeper part of the land instead of the bunkers and beaches
The generals planned correctly to make less casualties but the bombers mistake cost many lives
絶対これ以上の凄惨な戦いになると思います
なりませんよ。事前の空爆と濃密な艦砲射撃で、海岸沿いの抵抗勢力は一掃されます。米軍は悠々と上陸するでしょうね。
そして日本軍が奥地に立て篭もり市民を盾にしながら終わりのないゲリラ戦を行います。とはいっても、時々パラパラっと残り少ない錆びた弾薬で撃ってくるだけです。抵抗らしい抵抗もなく日本は分割統治されます。
うんそうだね
ちなみに戦争映画は少し大げさに作りすぎてるらしいです

A world where this was the end
Operation Downfall is the Endgame of WW2 that never happened
good video:
missing two things, more kamikaze planes and a casualties report for this battle
日本軍は多くの航空機や神風攻撃隊を保持して､アメリカ軍が上陸すると一度に大量に攻撃する予定でした。
だがそれも3日以内程までに力尽きたでしょう。
3:12 Is that the Montana class Battleship? The most powerful ocean battleship to have not existed.
Correct, that is the Montana
Yes
It is
It never existed making the Iowa class one of if not the most powerful battleship class in the world
3:09 alright we have Uss Montana since she never built and never bought to service☠️
3:41 "let's go show those goose stepping sausage eaters what the good ol' U.S.A. can do!". I think the game server had a hiccup since the sausage eaters had unconditionally surrendered on May 7, 1945. But aside from that glitch, this was an awesome video! So much history went into this. What most people didn't know was that after the Emperor surrendered on August 15, renegade troops tried to overthrow the government and keep fighting. Had they succeeded, the invasion of Japan would have gone forward, despite the A-bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. One other point. In 1945 the word "nuke" did not yet exist. A-bomb was the word of the day.
Yes, and part of the plan was mass chemical attacks on the island. We would have killed every living thing there. We'd have had to, because they would have sent kids and grandmas at us, with pointy sticks, if nothing else.
Yeah that line is actually from Company of Heroes 2 I think.
Epic!!! This is above what I expected!
holup its u!!!!!,!!!,!
Turuley unbiased keep up the good work ✌
Thank you sir!
I cannot wait for seeing the following episode video about the Battle of WW 2 in Japan. It Is too fantastic.
本当にこれ起こらなくて良かったよなぁ…
It didn’t
at 4:49 the music cutting out as he hit the water was so comedic
Goose stepping sausage eaters! I've never heard Japanese people referred to like that. That's what one of them guys in the landing craft called it in the video though 🤣🤣👍👍
I love that
Back bending fish eaters?
Maybe he was one of the European War veterans who didn't earn enough points and got shipped to the Pacific.
What really stopped the Japanese in their tracks was that song called Fiatagata Gotcha! by The Moon Roses came on their radios and they were too busy dancing to the song to notice the U.S. ships floating there in front of them, haha 🌙🌹😎
Love the battle scenes with the setting in the pacific. The closest movie about the invasion of Japan is ‘Letters from Iwo Jima’.
Okinawa and Iwo Jima maybe Sakhalin (the real battles) are THE closest to this proposed invasion
And the reason why the operation didn't get through
Soon will make it in LEGO style
I knew you would do that
Great job, love your videos, keep it up

Los altos mandos militares de EEUU estaban concientes que una gran invasión Aliada a Japón seria desastrosa en bajas, mucho peor que en Okinawa y Normandía. Por esa razón, las bombas atómicas eran la unica forma de acabar con la resistencia nipona a rendirse. Sin embargo, Japón se rindio por el temor que genero al Emperador Hiro-Hito la invasión sovietica en el norte de Japón, no queria ver el mismo destino de Manchukuo derrotado por el Ejército Rojo.
本土決戦は沿岸配備師団が防衛線から一歩も引かず連合軍を海岸線に閉じ込めて機動打撃師団が突撃するという戦法ですね。作戦が成功するとはおもいません
だから三式中戦車チヌや三式砲戦車ホイⅢ、部隊を海岸線におくか突撃してほしい
まず最もアメリカ1週間くらい空爆と艦砲射撃で上陸地点を平にしてから上陸すると思う
しかもここにはモンタナ級大戦艦がいる。

The Japanese soldier that jump of his plane really died trying 4:50
That's why it's called Baka bomb
Because it's idiotic lol
This is a very good video 📹
2:31 the montana has finally been constructed
and this was one of this was reasons the operation was canceled it was believed the cost would be to high absolute masterpiece of a video by the way
It's bloody awesome, my one small gripe is that they could've just used a normal Sherman at the part where the first tank engagement was, that Pershing was a little overkill
maybe this happens on 1946 so many perishing is already mass produce
@@drsm7947 november 1945, then part 2 comes March 1946
Say, they expected to use US "King Tigers" for the invasion in 1946
Pershing tanks were close to entering combat in Okinawa so it would've been very likely to be seen them in that operation
@@warfare11gamingoh, ok then
@@warfare11gaming by X-Day, they would be used, and by 1946, the US Heavy Tanks(T29,T32) would also be used
Something about the Japanese plan to defend the homeland. They knew that there were only two possible landing sites, so they fortified the hell out of those two spots. Basically, they were willing to sacrifice 10 million people, to inflict maximum casualties on the allies.
The first line of defence was what remained of their army. The second line consisted of volunteers who were given shoddily made rifles. Hell, even school girls were conscripted to fight. They were given melee weapons, anything to inflict casualties. Some had pikes, others had knifes. Hell, some were given leather Awls.
The goal of the defence was to inflict so many casualties upon the allies, that the people at home would call for a peaceful end to the war.
Another thing is, America started to produce so many Purple Hearts in anticipation of this invasion, that the Purple Hearts that have been handed out since World War 2, were from that stockpile. It still hasn’t run out. So any Purple Heart that is given out, is most likely from the massive amount created for the invasion.
I think this would be an outstanding science fiction alternate timeline TV series..... Similar, but not the same, as The Man in the High Castle. More action though.
Rayos no la vi a tiempo me perdí un joya de video como siempre :'( congrats from Bolivia your channel is one de best on you tube.
Bro to be honest, this was not that great compared to your Japanese invasion of America video. But as always, the way you make the battle scenes is a work of art.
The Japanese invasion of America had a bit more creative freedom but stating it was better from cinematic, quality, performance, map, and storyline perspective, makes no sense. There's not a thing, that this video doesn't do better
@@warfare11gaming Don't take my comment in a wrong way bro. I am just sharing my personal thought about this video. I had different expectation after watching the previous fictional invasion videos.
@@warfare11gaming
That one Japanese pilot, running in terror as they chased him across the airfield... Just golden.
@@SturmFuhrerPK All good
Amazing job as always i always enjoy watching these videos especially if im playing a game in the same era as video
Glad you enjoy it!
Rather intense. But the Americans didn't use their naval gunfire support much. I'd think they would have pounded that beach and behind it for hours. Then send in carrier based fighters and bombers to paste anything I missed. Plenty of defenders were in the open, easily visible. In particular their artillery, which would be my first target. Always get the other guys artillery. Then send in the Marines.
Americans tactics would have large squadrons of heavy bombers carpeting the beach not to repeat the same mistake they did the last time back in D-Day where the bombers missed and targetted the deeper part of the land
Airborne would be inserted the night before
Navy would be firing their cannons at the coordinates the Airborne troops provided
Naval Aviators would be going back and forth bombing and striking emplacements
Army would proceed to sweep through
After i found this i found a show on Netflix called THE PACIFIC were its Americans vs Japanese
What a great show The Pacific
Just for a sense of scale: the War Department ordered so many Purple Hearts be minted for this operation that we have yet to run out of them. _Half a million_ wounded were expected.
Wonder why they didn't consider creating the American foreign legion & recruiting an army from places like china Vietnam & the Philippines to prepare for this
@@SlashinatorZ
The US Army wanted Downfall to be as American an operation as possible. They wanted to place Japan under American occupation,not
allied occupation like Germany. The British,Australians, Canadians, and Indians,all wanted to larger role in the ground invasion and were
prepared to send a Commonwealth Army Group to serve under US command, but MacArthur wouldn't go for it. The plans before the
invasion was called off called for a commomwealth Corps made of one Australian division,one British division, and one Canadian division
under a British general. The Indians were left off with MacArthr saying there were too many issues coordinating with them.
Maybe that would have changed had the invasion actually happened.As it was, the British,Australians, and Canadians were able to contribute
their air and naval forces in mass because the US Navy and Army Air Force didnt have the same problems accepting help the way the US Army
did.
@@TheLAGopherThe Russians were also on the verge to invade one of the mainland Japanese island after secured small islands from the north too
Not to be a nit picker, nukes did not exist yet. Those two bombs were *Atomic Bombs.* Had they been Nukes, Japan wouldn't exist, nor would the Philippines or anyone in the nearby area.
The US, China and Russia would be almost helpless in dealing with nuclear fallout in the jet stream either ^^;
AWESOME video!
............. dude ............ Atomic Bombs are *Nuclear Bombs* . What you probably are imagining are Thermonuclear bombs. But they are not that powerful enough to wipe out an entire country, let alone the surrounding countries. That's just an over-exaggeration of what a nuke can do.

@@VaciliNikoMavichin Hiroshima 200,000 died many later from radiation sickness in Nagasaki 150,000 died also many form radiation sickness 350,000 deaths and those aren’t atomic bombs
@@Waltyworld Ok.
The biggest thing missing was the intensity of the pre invasion bombardment. The actual bombardment would be according to doctrine two weeks to a month anything in the open would be annihilated. Overall excellent. There's a few minor things wrong but I understand that you don't want to annoy the algorithm. Semper Fidelis
I love how you make the U.S. forces so dumb like they never learned from the experiences at D-Day, Iwo freaking Jima, and Okinawa.
