As a Japanese American, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for telling our story. We are so underrepresented and nobody talks about the 442nd. I went to a military museum the other day, and they talked about all of the different ethnicities that fought under the US flag. I didn’t see one thing about the 442nd or the Japanese Americans, I was so disappointed. Thank you so much for making this
I wish they would fix the title; these guys were as much *American* soldiers as any others. Japanese soldiers fought for Japan.
Hey, a fellow Japanese American. I'm sansei. You're right about the 442nd not being spoken about as much unfortunately. I have a granduncle that fought in the 442nd. It's been many years, but I don't think my schools even mentioned them either.
You bring up a great point too @ED.
Yep but do to the japanees atrocities which was worst than the Germans I can see why more Americans were wary of the the Japanese
@@ED-od6hy it draws more views
It seems you have summoned all Japanese Americans from the TH-cam algorithm
I'm a Texan...to me, these men are not "Honorary" Texans...They are TRUE TEXANS!!!!! They embodied the real spirit that Texas is known for!!!!!
@Tim Blaine they defied all the things standing in their way? What better way to prove ones loyalty than to put your life on the line? The Japanese were spreading propaganda that they were fighting a race war against western imperialism.
@Tim Blaine the spirit of Texas to fight for a country you live in and want to live in. not that you would understand because I doubt you know what real suffering is like to make you wanna change countries.
I'm glad I'm from Texas I know that passion and love for this state
@Tim Blaine no...it's just fighting for your family..and your state...and your people, all of which are Texas.

My French professor told us that her 1st look at Americans was these Japanese-American troops liberating her village in France in 1944. 🇺🇸🇯🇵🤝🇫🇷
She might have been from Bruyeres. That village was liberated by the 100/442 and they still remember them to this day.
Your professor is still teaching at this age?
@@coffeelink943 She died last decade.
so cool
@@matthewjay660 Rest In Peace for her 😭
It was a suicide mission to save a few guys. My grandpa was a 442nd and survived, but his brother died. Only a few people made it back from that rescue mission.
You forgot to mention an important noteworthy event when they went to rescue the Texans, the mountain was filled with Nazis pointing their guns and artillery down the mountain making it impossible to advance. There was only one unoccupied side of the mountain where there was a long straight drop. The Germans didn't think anyone would be foolish enough to climb up from there. The 442nd did it and they suffered many casualties falling off. My grandpa said that although the men who slipped and fell knew they were falling to their death they all chose to fall silently to their death so that their fellow Soldiers could advance forward undetected and ultimately save those few Texans. That is dedication, selflessness and honor at its best especially when their family were being persecuted at home.
That’s very amazing of them
my neighbor WAS in 442nd with two purple heart, and is still a live he is 97
Benjammin with the BEANS
That's impressive
Very grateful for laying his life down for his country!
What a hero! That's a real veteran.

@@techrvl9406 lol
@Leonardo Bonucci Father of England A good way to view it is that a stereotype of Americans is the "Cowboy."
And Texas, along with a few other states, are deep into Cowboy culture/aesthetic.
To be Texan is to be a Cowboy, and to be a Cowboy is one of the first and most American things people think of.
Idk why but seeing an angry Japanese man scream “I AM TEXAN NOW” is the funniest most American thing I have ever seen

“still fought hard for us”???? MAJOR CORRECTION that because these brave soldiers were U.S. CITIZENS but due to prejudice that they lost property and locked up with zero Due Process. How many non Japanese-American citizens would VOLUNTEER after what your Government did to your family and you??
German Commander: "Thank goodness! Japanese reinforcements."
German Soldier: "Wait... why are the Japanese here...?"
American Nisei: "GO FOR BROKE! BANZAI!"
Germans: *confused screaming*
"GO FOR BROKE" was the name of the war movie made of them.
Horah for great japan i mean America
That basically really happened. LOL "Go For Broke!" Pretty awesome. The Germans were so confused.
Funnily enough the Japanese in the eastern front when attacking China, the Chinese wore and used German equipment so with these events it would seem one betrayed the other
If theyre American born/raised they wouldn't say Banzai.
These guys were the guys who inspired me. Born and raised in Japan never set foot in the U.S except to join the U.S Marine Corp at 19 when Sept 11 happened. I served 7 years before being medically retired due to injuries received on the front lines with the infantry.
Thank you for your service. And please don't be so humble you are forgotten. Your effort deserves to be seen.
There was actually an old black and white film called "Go for Broke" that followed these guys through the war. For anyone that can find it these days, it's worth watching. If a bit slow.
Here on TH-cam I believe.
Yes it is
My abuelito was in the 141st. He would meet with his Nisei counterparts once a year for decades after this happened. He also told me first hand stories about the hardships they faced together. Texas hasn't forgotten their sacrifice!
Props to him
Sgt. Murphy and Sgt. Benavidez were also Texans.
@@jed-henrywitkowski6470 God, Benavidez...
I wish I could’ve met him
Thats amazing! Mind sharing some of those hardships on here? Its very rare to find accounts of how Mexican Americans and Nisei Americans interacted with each other in WW2
More stories, we need em!
Both my grandfather and his brother did that as well as my grandmother's brother. For their sacrifice they didn't have to go to these camps. Thank you for spreading this information because it was swept under the rug a bit.
Respect to those guys!
Those men in your family will always be American Heroes. 🙏
Thank you

@@seand.g423 it's my way of saying a lot without it sounding dramatic
I had two very close Japanese friends when I was growing up.
Their father, "Katz" Miya served in the 442nd and earned a purple heart and a bronze star.
He passed away some time ago.
I loved that family. Their mother was my and my older brothers 2nd mother and she treated us like her sons.
I miss them a great deal.
As a Texan in the Navy, I say "we few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother"
They were cannon fodder, and they overcame those odds.

This needs to be a movie
Already a 1951 movie on this called "Go for Broke". Starred Van Johnson with veterans of the 442nd RCT in supporting roles. My uncles served in the 442nd RCT and they liked the movie.

They are true Texans, for only Texans possess the guts and genius that these men had. I am proud to call them Texans.
Any Texans in here wondering why this wasn’t in our year of Texas history
There’s a lot of history to cover. As great a story this is it’s only a small blip in the overall picture of recorded history. However, we briefly covered this in US history and I live in Washington state.
WW2 history in books is all about white men lol
@@shanefreund6088 here in Texas they dedicate a year of our education to Texas history though mostly about Texas revolution and such
The story of the 442nd is exactly the type of thing that Critical Race Theory would be teaching and that's a good thing in my book.
@@arcturionblade1077 Pfft. It's the subject of history and popular novels *and TH-cam videos* already. We need CRPropaganda like we need holes in our heads.

Texas: Yeah i'm the biggest state in US
Alaska: Um, About that-
Texas: Shush!!
At least most of Texas has actually been explored!
Seriously Alaska can stuff it.
Alaska is melting it’s gonna be small eventually
In the context of the video Alaska was an American territory in the 1940's not a state.
This was before 1959
They really went from, “TENNO HAIKA BANZAI!” to, “FOR THE ALAMO!”
Hollywood must do a project on this.
Salute to the brave soldiers!

This brought tears to my eyes , these guys were amazing. Respect ✊
I also cried a little while watching, but I'm going through withdrawal from opiates right now and it literally feels like the world is ending.
Just because people are of a different colour doesn’t mean they will not fight for the country they call home.
yes but communists never will. ideology is a choice race isnt.. still its a shame nobody tried to prosecute the politicians who supported Japanese internment for treason
Yeeeeeee Haaaaawwwww! From a real Texan.Thank you 442nd. For your help.God bless every one of you men

Thank you for telling this story. My family served in the 442nd and it's always good to see their story being told. I would, however, make 2 corrections:
1) Nisei is pronounced "nee-say". It means "2nd generation". They way you were pronouncing it means something different.
2) The 100th Infantry was formed before the 442nd. I'm impressed you mentioned the Hawaii National Guard. Most don't include that detail. The 100th was deployed to Africa where they served with distinction. They were deployed to Italy next and were in need of reinforcement. Thanks to their service record, the top brass approved the formation of the larger 442nd to join with them. The 100th became the 1st battalion of the 442nd and was allowed to keep their designation. The full unit title is the 100/442nd Regimental Combat Team.

I am in the Tennessee National Guard, when I was at training in Fort Sam Huston, TX I had a lot of thanks given to me, not just for being in the service, but for being a Tennessean as well. They recognize the patch which I was allowed to wear there. Tennessee has a long standing history of volunteering, during the Alamo Tennessee was there doing what they could. Texas really does have a very long memory. The Lone Star and Volunteer states have a pretty long history together.

I'm glad stories like this are coming to light...would love to see a movie made about it
There is a Documentary about it
There's an old movie called "Go For Broke"
Well worth the watch. It's in black and white but it's amazing
This story was retold in James A. Michener's _Hawaii_ (1959), where the author's fictional 222nd Combat team.alludes to the factual 442nd.
They did, its called, "The Last Battalion", it was made back in 2001
Different lost Battalion. That one was WW1, not 2. Yes, it happen twice. I don't think there a recent movies for WW2 lost Battalion.
I lived in an adult family home, and there was a 97 year Japanese man who lived with me. He lived in those internment camps and the ones in Idaho. He talked about them all the time
what were some of the stories he told?
12th generation Texan here..
Thanks fellas.
Actually, the 442nd received around 810 Bronze Stars, not 5,200. And 354 Silver Stars, not 588. That's a lot of awards for such a small unit nonetheless.
I think total included the One Puka Puka number too.
@@Danogil Good catch. If we include the 100th Battalion, that would give the total 489 Silver Stars and 1048 Bronze Stars for the 442nd.
Yes I agree
Plus, many of the awarded “Silver Star” should have been Medal of Honor that U.S. Military brass did not want to award. It was clarified many decades later where 21 received their just due but some were posthumously.
By 1992, the U.S. government eventually disbursed more than $1.6 billion (equivalent to $3,500,000,000 in 2020) in reparations to 82,219 Japanese Americans who had been interned. Freedom and reparations after 6yrs... Must be nice
WW2 sure was a hard time for Japanese-Americans, so much so it fuel them to bypass through it and ultimately made them more battle hardened
I find it surprising how many textbooks overlook such an important factor of one of the most important wars. America was almost mimicking their enemy's holocaust
They should have been deported
Not enough because white woman still want to get black men so I guess y’all ain’t American enough
@@sf8262 it wasn't just the US doing it either, Canada has a lot of skeletons in it's closet
I guess if you get 72 hours to vacate your premises along with putting your family’s belongings in two suitcases per family and you ultimately lose your property and businesses; you would VOLUNTEER to fight for the county that did that to your family and you?? My Father and his brave comrades did exactly that….
Germanys be like
>Hears "Banzai" / panic
>Japanese are allies / kalm
>You're in the the western front and the men charging across the field are wearing cowboy hats and US uniforms / PANIK
Thank you for making this. I'm a Japanese-American (although, honestly, I'm more American than Japanese :D) and it's always saddened me what my grandparents and great-grandparents had to live through and what they did in order to prove themselves loyal to the US. The 442nd/100th veterans never really talk about their experiences either, unless it's to say something like, "Oh, I served with him!". Once, one of my uncles mentioned that he'd been sent to Germany and helped liberate a concentration camp there, then looked really sad and didn't continue speaking. I can only imagine what he felt when he was confronted with the scene since his own family was interned in a relocation camp in the mainland US. It must have been the stuff of nightmares compounded with the emotions of a situation that hit too close to home.
Even after coming back from WWII, there was a lot of anti-Japanese sentiment. As a kid, my Dad remembers being told to act as American as possible. He was forbidden from speaking any of the Japanese he had picked up from his grandmother and his parents would only speak English so that he would sound as American as possible. Needless to say, he's now only fluent in English. Even though my Dad is, honestly, one of the most patriotic people I know, there's always been anger to his patriotism, like he's saying, "This country is my country, even if it doesn't want me."
if Texas don’t work
Use More Texas
My grandfather met Nisei often as his military career followed that, Africa Italy, France, Germany. Go for Broke was an Xtreme gamblers slogan.
im from hawaii & my old neighbor was in the 442nd, he lost his right leg & right arm when he tried to save his comrades from an enemy grenade in europe. he used to tell me more detailed stories of bad treatment & felt neglected by his own country during these trials n tribulations of ww2. he would tell them with teary eyes & cracking voice of grave sadness. he rose to the occasion even when his own country doubted him. he died in the mid '90s as a true patriotic american hero.

This isn’t the “Lost Battalion” but it’s still a heartwarming story. The real lost battalion was during WWI.
My thoughts exactly
The All American 88th Battalion
There was a second lost battalion during ww2 that got cut off and encircled in a French forest and found and led out by the 442nd.

There have been a few. Go For Broke was made in the 50s and featured actual veterans of the 442nd. Only the Brave came out about a decade ago and was made by Japanese Americans.
