I love the videos, too. They are excellent and awesome. However, they are way too in depth for any history class not called Operations of World War 2. Military history is a tiny piece of the pie, however exciting it may be. Every history class will have too much to say to get bogged down in the expertly researched, well told, amazing details that this series goes into. You could only find such depth here or books written about the subject.
I got you K&G. As your resident Pacific War viewer, I will never miss an episode. And it might seem like a long way, but viewership will take off once the war in the Pacific reaches the island hopping stage. I of course prefer learning more about these lesser known campaigns such as New Guinea and Burma, but the island invasions will really start to activate the normies.
Can't wait for the Battles of Kohima and Imphal, the Americans will finally get to witness the Brits handing the Japanese their asses to them after so many losses 😁
GEEZ!!!!! This channel is LITERALLY covering ALL BATTLES of JAPANESE side of WW2!!!! JUST Utterly WOW!!!!! It's a LITERAL HISTORY CHANNEL!!! SO WELL MADE!!!
I haven’t missed a single episode of this series. I really enjoy almost all of your content. Wizards and warriors is great too! The only complaint I have is that the sound quality regarding the background sound effects can be distracting and bad. Other than that, the quality is amazing!
I hope he meant sound effects from the Wizards and Warriors channel, and not this one. The background music in this pacific war series has been perfect, absolutely do not change a thing.
@@KeithOlbermannn for sure, this series the background effects has been great. But theres been videos on both channels that had awful repeating sound effects that would loop on and on for minutes and made it hard to understand our glorious narrator.
Absolutely brilliant!!! This is a series I will watch and rewatch.... and rewatch again!!! Seriously, thank you for this incredible series. From the macro strategic picture to the small unit actions, you've covered the gamut.
Growing up in Alaska exploring old WW2 bunkers was memorable and got to share the experience with my kids when I was stationed there my self 20 years later exploring those same bunkers. The furthest I made out into the chain I believe was Attu or Adak on a rescue out there.
I never miss an episode in the Pacific war Series. Keep up the good work Kings and Generals Team. I like that there are less infobox in the bottom of the screen because the subtitles would cover them up.
Thank you kings and generals for the newest pacific upload, i can tell you that this series is gonna be a amazing history of ww2, hope this series still continued until occupation of japan where the us & japan become friends again 👍😊
Great stuff - Love the footnotes. Great to learn from your actual research and helpful active maps in contrast to some other 'Dark' channels that basically just read wiki articles while cycling through the same set of 50 random war photos.
What people need to understand is that Orde Wingate was a paradox: Beloved by his men, and hated by the military elite. So the delay of Wingates operationl report by people like Noel Irwin is by no means a coincident.
Does not help that Irwin himself was not the most competent of commanders.... The best thing that happened to what became the 14th Army was Slim being given command. Another thing one really needs to realise about Wingate is the concept of deep penetration was actually part of British Doctrine, so he did not actually invent it, though he was a skilled proponent of it. The success of the first Chindit raid was pretty much overblown at the time, the British badly needed some good propaganda when it came to their war with Japan. Unfortunately that went to Wingates head, and he started honestly believing that deep penetration alone could defeat the Japanese. British doctrine was to use deep penetration alongside conventional forces. That led to Wingate making even more enemies. The man, brilliant as he was, was truly an odd bird, and had some surprising blindsides. He was the epitome of the British Eccentric, mad as a hatter, utterly brilliant, but with some pretty deep flaws as well. For example, while I will never doubt Wingate's ability, I do think his thinking was flawed in his belief that deep penetration tactics alone could defeat the Japanese. It was part of the answer yes, but it was not the whole answer. The important thing to remember though, is Wingate had so many enemies for a reason. it was not only the conservative 'Military Elite', but also more thoughtful and insightful officers who were far from stuck in the mud. He had an abrasive personality, and a habit of thinking that the only right way was his way, and being utterly objectionable to anyone who might offer even valid argument against him...... In his own way he was as deeply entrenched as the more Conservative military elite you mention, and just as wrong.
Always excited for Tuesdays! One observation though, wouldn't it make sense for Area Armies to be 4 stars, while Armies to be 3 stars? As the Burma Area Army was under the control of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
Speaking of Pacific area, have you considered to take Battle of Tarakan 1942 and 1945 ( Obo 1 and Obo 2) aswell Battle of Balikpapan 1945 by Australian Division a try?
Why is the map of Canada white like all the other neutral countries at 8:43? Feel fairly certain there were a couple Canadians fighting for the Allies around this time. Small nitpick, overall love what you folks do, look forward to the vids every week.
Devin! I had to define "humus." "Humus is dark, organic material that forms in soil when plant and animal matter decays." 17:34 ⚠️🇦🇺 18:52 Does ANYBODY know IF those 3 commando Aussie units that had been operating behind enemy lines for ELEVEN MONTHS were decorated/awarded? What were these units' names? And with what were they awarded? My God, ELEVEN MONTHS!!!🎖️
To the Japanese, the Arakan offensive proved once again that the British and Indians were "inherently weak as soldiers". This attitude would come back to haunt the Japanese about one year from now.
Not really. Indians wanted to be rid of the British too and knew time was on their side. Besides, what's the recruitment slogan? "Fight for your new occupiers against a new occupier!"?
Seems that Indian troops were better trained for desert warfare in North Africa, Iraq, etc and mountain warfare in East Africa and Italy rather than jungle warfare in Burma, Malaysia, Singapore, etc. All that training in the North West Frontier Province really made them poorly suited to defend against the onslaught of the Japanese via SE Asia.
It's almost funny how incompetent the Allied command was in the CBI Theater was. I know that the mixed British-Indian army was probably one of the weakest fighting groups of the Allies, but it's still amazing that they performed as poorly as they did.
Calling the British-Indian Armies as weak is a bit misleading. Yes, they didn't perform well during the first two years, but that is because they had been recently transferred from North Africa and the Middle East where they excelled in desert warfare. All they needed was to be properly trained in jungle warfare, which is why they will turn the tables on the Japanese three times on a row by next year.
@@extrahistory8956 They also had the spectacularly incompetent senior British military "leadership" which had been the UK standard with few exceptions for MANY years!
One aspect of the Pacific War that might be worth exploring….the industrial output levels of the US during the war. I find myself continuously wondering why the US isn’t massing naval armadas and destroying the Japanese where they lie.
Well, you don't just need to consider what they can produce, but also where that production is spent. A lot of material was going towards the European front, and if they're producing the wrong sort of ships or planes, they can't afford a massed attack. There's also potential supply problems to consider.
That happens eventually, but not until 1944, it takes till late 1943 for the US production advantage to really start kicking into high gear in the Pacific.
Because to build things, you need to build factories. And that is not just a large building. You actually need to design and build the parts that build the parts. Which also has to be designed and it all needs to be put together. Big things are even trickier, since you need very solid ground near water to build an aircraft carrier. America does do these things - by the end of the war, the US has built 17 Essex carriers, 9 light aircraft carriers, about 100 escort carriers, and 3000 Liberty Ships. By the end of the war, the US Navy is 70% of the world's naval strength.
That is actually how it often happens in the military, especially when the leadership is trying to save face. People get "promoted" to the HQ type roles where they can do no harm.
The war ended and everyone returned to their homes, and we are the ones who left our country, Arakan, and you live in your country, but I have a Lord who has a judgment on the Day of the Hereafter
It’s not British and British India have like lost that much it’s more like how undisciplined the British Indians could be during the war they were fighting a point less war tho they didn’t really care about it In the other side the IJA (imperial Japanese Army) were fighting to create a freaking kingdom and they were well disciplined and had high moral
I've always tried to understand why the British army was so awful in the East. It is mind-boggling. One of the worst examples was Singapore. They weren't much better in Pacific naval engagements. A lot of the effort was carried by Australians and New Zealanders, not the British themselves.
What somehow surprised me: as the Germans in Europe, the Japanese in Asia were military superior. Even combined allied forces weren't able to stop those two aggressors at the beginning of the war. Both powers used air superiority and tanks with infantry support from the very start of the war, and the allied troops tried to counter mainly with WWI material and tactics at the beginning, and then mostly retreated or surrendered. Conclusion: WW2 only started, because other countries failed to rearm + adapt to new tactics in time (ignoring the fact you need fascists, narcissistic autocrats in the first place). This was only possible, because those countries were ignoring the threat. Even today, there are 🤡🤡 thinking you can counter narcissistic autocrats with appeasement, something didn't work in the past 🤷♂
The British were terrible, the Aussies cowards, and the Americans indecisive and infighting. Pacific theatre in 1943 was just a mess of their own making.
Maybe Brits would do better if they use they best men in actual regular combat instead of waisting them on this Chindits nonsense. BTW this is probably the best series you guys have done, but as we all know it's not always enough to get TH-cam views.
This series really puts into perspective why the British overemphasize the Battle of Britain in WWII histories; it was quite literally the only time they displayed any competence at all whatsoever in battle tactics or strategy.
@Tom G "it was quite literally the only time they displayed any competence at all whatsoever in battle tactics or strategy." On land there was Operation Compass in North Africa 1941, where 36,000 troops of the Western Desert Force lead by British general Richard O Connor routed an Axis army of 150,000 men, taking 133,298 prisoners, 400 tanks, 1,290 artillery guns and 500 air craft.
Battle of the Atlantic? Operation chariot? The Great Swan? Second battle of El Alamein? Battle of Matapan? Battle of Taranto? Siege of Malta? East African Campaign? Electronic warfare against the luftwaffe? and many others?
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- Highlighted again that the British have an extremely small number of victories to tout, and all but one of them are strategically insignificant.
I mean, the whole point of the series is to provide the most detailed account of the Pacific War ever in documentary, so it makes seems that they will cover everything, even the stuff that people deem as uninteresting.
This campaign is a real sleeper 🥱 Ive gotta keep shaking my head to keep awake, and stop daydreaming. Not K&G fault, just the subject matter is terrible 😔
This is probably the reason why most of the military campaigns of the Pacific War that took place in 1943 are rarely mentioned. There weren't nearly as many naval battles, the results were a really mixed bag in the first 6 months of the year, and the interest isn't really there among non-history fans for what was going on in Burma, China, New Guinea, the Solomon and Aleutians islands.
