The German Ambassador was like "Japan, chill, mein god."
You know your evil when Nazi Germany says that’s too much
It's pretty bad when the Nazis are protecting people from your genocide.
True story, guy was even a member of the Nazi Party. Actually a pretty decent guy all things considered.
I like the meme that people made of the Japanese saving Jews from the Nazi while the Nazis saved Chinese from the Japanese in WWII... Just both like "huh"

Dude it was decades before the Japanese would even acknowledge what they did to the Chinese and POWs, and even then they still massively downplay.
And their ambassadors were confused as towards why China and Korea still hate Japan: what Japan did in those countries wasn't taught in Japan, but sure was where they made the mass graves.
What about the Korean comfort girls?
@@susanwahl6322Japanese soldiers keeping Korean girls as "comfort" was honestly one of the less horrifying things they did, and that sentence should horrify anyone.
From what I understand Japanese citizens see Pearl Harbor as "a great accident" rather than a planned intentional military operation.
@@susanwahl6322To be fair, we in the US aren’t taught that the American and British occupation forces used the Comfort Women system (and not just the one they had, we actively “recruited” for it as well) until the spring of 1946 when the US press started finding out about it and half of our guys started getting STDs. And we used it for the exact same reason the Japanese did; to keep the rape cases against all the other civilians down. Recently evidence came out that we had the system going in Korea until the end of the Korean War, but I’ll have to find the article on it again. All this is to say that while Japan has a lot of work they need to do, we aren’t much better.
The movie "Tora, Tora, Tora!" was made with a Japanese film crew doing the Japanese parts and when it was released in Japan in none of the locals knew that Pearl was a sneak attack.
Because it wasn't.
Not sure where you got that in the movie either.
The Japanese government declared war on us 2-3 hours before the attack.
Our translators at the time kinda sucked at translating it fast.
If they had done it fast would it had helped? Hell no. That's kinda the point of officially declaring war right before you attack, so the opponent can't defend themselves as good.
Not like it was a surprise either.
If you actually watched the movie like it seems you are saying you also realize we knew shit might happen and didn't really prepare for it.
@@x808drifter The encoded telegram was sent to the Japanese embassy and it took the Japanese translators hours to get it sent out, after the attack had already begun.
There are always code breakers and spy's but the fact is nothing was KNOWN until the planes showed up, to the guy in the hammock and the nurse smoking Chesterfields there was no war.
Tora, Tora, Tora! was released in 1970 and most of the Japanese public had never heard that is was a sneak attack on a sleeping city on a day of rest.
It was just a great victory for the Empire.
@x808drifter
You got it backwards. They intended the declaration to arrive a few hours before the attack but messed up.
@@x808drifter Found the revisionist history goofball lol

My 8th grade social studies teachers grandpa was in the death march and he was stabbed with a bayonet between the ribs and he played dead after falling into the weeds. Survived with a infection in said wound for about a week, and was found, nursed to health, and hidden by a sympathetic familly that owned a nearby pattie until the end of the war was announced. Only passed away 4 or 5 years ago i believe
Sounds like had better shit to do than die. That's terrible that he had to live through that but also badass that he lived in a situation where most men would've 100% died.

AC- Well that checks out-
In short, China in the mid-1930s was ruled by the same government that rules Taiwan today, the Republic of China. Shortly before the Japanese invasion, the Chinese Civil War was winding down significantly, as most of China was under the firm control of the Nationalist government based out of Nanjing (with peripheral regions ruled by allied warlords), while the Communists were also holed up in Northern Shaanxi and had been eradicated everywhere else. It only would have taken one last small push to completely rid China of Communism, but unfortunately, the Japanese continued to encroach upon Chinese sovereignty, occupying Manchuria in 1931, and parts of Eastern Hebei and Inner Mongolia in 1935. The government focused on destroying internal threats first before militarily fighting the Japanese (using international diplomacy and economic warfare as a means to restrain Japan in the meantime), but a disgruntled allied warlord (Zhang Xueliang) whose father used to rule Manchuria but was assassinated by the Japanese decided to kidnap China's leader at the time, Chiang Kai Shek, and force him to agree to a truce with the Communists to form a second "Chinese United Front" against the Japanese, who invaded in full in 1937 and committed countless atrocities, including the Nanjing massacre (they also committed crimes against humanity in areas they occupied and ruled before the war, such as Unit 731). Crucially, during the war, the Nationalists did most of the fighting and were dealt the most damage, while the Communists mostly used the war to preserve their strength and form guerilla cells behind Japanese lines, and to a very large extent, this was why the exhausted Nationalist government post-war lost the civil war (which started up again) against the Communists. Mao even openly thanked the Japanese for saving them. Hence, being sympathetic to the Chinese and also anti-Japanese should not illicit Communist sympathies, as the Communists have the Japanese to thank the most for allowing them to gain power in China, commit further crimes against humanity and deprive yet more Chinese people of their lives.
It's not entirely accurate to say that the Taiwan government is the same as the Chinese nationalists. A direct successor yes, but they went through several ostensibly democratic reforms inorder to keep their legitimacy.
I thought you said "In short"
@@9HighFlyer9 That is the short version. The long version would require explaining international dealings across the world just to start.
If I recall, Kyoto was supposed to be the first target. That was changed because someone in Truman's cabinet had his honeymoon there and thought it was too beautiful to destroy.
They chose not to bomb it because it's the spiritual capital of Japan and the where worried it would galvanise the Japanese against them
Why Kyoto of all places? I mean I’d make more sense if it was its neighboring city Osaka, which had one of the four major naval arsenal next door in Kobe. But Kyoto was of relatively little importance. And then they instead decided to go with Nagasaki which was another city that had one of the four major naval arsenals.
It’s just funny to think about.
@@sirshotty7689 It was the historic capital of Japan.
Yes, it was the Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson. Ironically enough he had visited Kyoto prior to the war on holiday with his wife. There is still debates today if he had reflected on his visit to the city that made him jump in to spare Kyoto.
@@sirshotty7689before it was moved to Tokyo, Kyoto was the capital of Japan and seat of the emperor.
It’s still a symbol of Japan’s empirical power and history, which for better or worse made it a very culturally impactful target.
The one argument I hate is the argument that neither of those two cities where legit military targets... Hiroshima was a major army base that housed the headquarters of the Japanese 5th Division and the 2nd Army Headquarters. It was also an important port in southern Japan and a communications center. Nagasaki was another important port that was producing naval warships, munitions and other equipment. Both cities where valid military targets in my eyes.
Even past that point, EVEN if they didn't have any factory plants, or military command points or offices, or government headquarters there... The backyard industry for building weapons and other kit for the IJA and other branches was wide.
“Producing naval equipment” is quite a big understatement. It was the home of the Mitsubishi Navy Arsenal which built the IJN Musashi aka the sister ship of the IJN Yamato and various other light and heavy carriers. It was also literally neighboring Kure, and I mean literally neighboring as in they’re 11 miles away from each other. Kure Naval Arsenal was where the Yamato was built and both it and Mitsubishi shipyards made up two of the four principal naval arsenals. These four arsenals built nearly all of the large ships Japan used during the war like battleships, carriers, battlecruisers, and cruisers. So it was most definitely a military target in big bold letters and numerous exclamation points.
For some extra knowledge, the other two arsenals were the Kawasaki Naval Arsenal in Kobe which is right next to Osaka for reference. It built the IJN Zuikaku one of two Shokaku-class carriers built and was considered one of the most capable carriers used during the entire war. It was also the last of the six carriers that participated in Pearl Harbor attack to be sunk.
And finally the Yokosuko Naval Arsenal in Tokyo. Which built Japans largest aircraft carrier the IJN Shinano which was supposed to be the third Yamato-Class battleship built. It was later converted to being a carrier midway through its production due to the Battle of Midway when Japan lost four of its carrier fleets.
Completely correct, but I would be amiss to say that LeMay himself said that the civilians were the primary targets in the bombings we did, and that he personally did not believe in the concept of innocent civilians. They were military targets, but that’s not why we bombed them.
@@dragonsword7370 "The backyard industry for building weapons and other KIT for the IJA and other branches was wide."
"KIT"? First off it sounds ridiculously stupid when people who are actually British say that dumb shit in reference to equipment but when I come across and American saying "kit" instead of equipment they just look moronically desperate at trying to sound cool. It's equipment buddy. Or keep saying "kit" and sound like a tool. I don't care.
So I assume you’re not going to complain when some country nukes any of the large cities in America to keep us out of a war or force us to surrender correct so when New York Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco and Los Angeles all get bombed into flat glass planes you won’t complain because they were valid military targets, right
Japan: We did nothing wrong.
Every Asian country: 🤨😡
One of the worst things they did along those lines was about the Comfort Women. Horrible practice Japan had of press ganging captured civilian women into being prostitutes for Japanese soldiers. The soldiers were often violent with them including beating them during sex, stabbing with a knife during sex, choking them unconscious, and just straight up killing the girl during.
After the war it took a few years to get Japan to admit it and apologize.
Then they took the apology back and went back to denying it happened.
Then they apologized again.
Then they denied it again.
They've gone back and forth on this, with denials coming from that Japanese statesman who was murdered - Abe - and he denied it as recently as 2014.
Everything about the way they've handled the Comfort Women shows that what they really want is to be able to sweep it under the rug and never talk about it again. They keep taking back their apologies, don't do anything that's been recommended by well respected international groups, don't obey international court rulings, and keep acting as though saying they're sorry is all they should need to do even if they deny that it ever happened afterwards.
And the sad little cherry on top of all of this is that as they were losing the war and couldn't kidnap foreign women for their soldiers to rape and abuse, they started press ganging their own women into service to fill out the numbers needed. Absolutely vile.
I had to read "The Rape of Nanking" (book title) as a junior or senior in college. I don't remember anything else from that class; just Nanking.
I'm surprised this didn't get censored. Minor victory for the week. That atrocity shouldn't be forgotten.
Unit 731, and the Burma train railway being built by POWs
The Chinese were killing each other in the civil war for years and in millions nd in bestial ways no different to Japanese war crimes and yet we never hear about those.
Modern Chinese propaganda we all ate up just wants to talk about Nanking and unit 731 to create more soft power/pressure over Japan and the west.
Japan wont take the self flaggelation route, and they are right.
Go look how the wests supposed critical self reflection is used to weaken us, and made us ashamed of our history.

I definitely wouldn't describe the military campaigns in Afghanistan a loss. A waste? Yeah.
It was win with a * It wasn’t even a war that could be won in the traditional sense, war is normally for the land and assets and to enslave the population, we were after specific person and squash a group which was accomplished. But millions of nothing to lose followers, it’s never ends trying to change the ideology unless we decimated the population, that basically why it was never going to work. Especially in a mostly rural tribe based society.
Completely agree. It’s a cultural problem. As the withdrawal started, the country just started folding. If the majority of the citizens wanted their freedom, they would’ve stood up to the taliban. We propped the country up, tried to set up a military… but in the end it wasn’t up to us. It’s unfortunate that all the good people from there who wanted better lives are now stuck under taliban rule.
Definitely a waste we invested in cowards
@@DJJohnson-zw1xuthe average American doesn’t even like the U.S. gov. Why would they?
What would VICTORY have looked like? Because we didn't achieve anything of substance, we spent a LOT of resources and personnel, and that sounds like a pretty big loss by any measurable standard.
FYI guys - Manchuria is in Northeast china, not in Japan. That's why is more baffling why the Japanese were more worried about russia's attack.
Yeah, they were already losing too. It's a horrible argument.
To be fair the Russians absolutely their army in Manchuria. It wasn't why they surrendered but it's still pretty funny
That mildly disappointed “Oh Jesus Christ” from HLC just made my whole morning.

The only M1 lost in Desert Storm that I know of was one that broke down (engine problems I believe) during the initial push through Iraq. We couldn’t stop the push, but we also couldn’t leave an intact M1 behind. So the crew took out what they could and another M1 shot it to permanently disable it. BTW, it took 2 shots from close range to do it.
I had a great-uncle who matched in the Bataan Death March. I never got to meet him because he committed suicide because of, among other things, PTSD from marching in the Bataan Death March.

Germany repented of their crimes but Japan denied theirs. One explanation perhaps lays in culture. Eastern cultures tend to be “shame based”. In India, the highest rate of youth suicides occurs during exam time in school. Young Indians who do poorly in their exams often kill themselves rather than live with the shame of being a “failure”to their family. In Japanese Bushido code they were taught that suicide is preferable to the shame of surrender. Some Eastern cultures also have what’s called “honor killings” where the family patriarch has the right to kill a family member who brought shame or dishonor on the family. In short, it’s all about saving face-avoiding shame. It’s true that pride and trying to “save face” is a universal flaw found in people everywhere but not every culture or society manifests it in the same way. Pride can be a bug in some belief systems where it’s a feature in others. There’s a difference between a value system which says “be open, tell the truth, confess and repent” and a system which says, “whatever you do, don’t bring shame on you, your family or your country” (even if it means lies and denial).
This is not medieval far east, Many modern parents spoil their child very much. The so called religion of peace islam is very common for honor killings main target is women.

The Japanese aren’t going to replace the history; in general their acceptance of the past is getting better. Sure they have some politicians fighting against it, but it’s no different or more effective than the politicians we have who are fighting against education on slavery and deny that the genocide against the Native Americans happened.

Hey Guys. Good clip. The Soldiers who lost their lives due to fratricide at 73 Easting were 12B Combat Engineers assigned to the 82nd Engineer Battalion (The Blue Babe) stationed at Warner Barracks in Bamberg, Germany. Their names were Strehlow, Powell, and Howard. Barracks numbers 7082, 7083, and 7084 were named for them. They were operating in an M113 when in the fog of war their vehicle was struck by friendly fire killing all three of them. There has been plenty of coverage of the battle of 73 Easting, but not nearly enough about that incident,the Soldiers that lost their lives, or the men that knew them. I know for a fact that many of the men that were there and served with Strehlow, Powell, and Howard would be happy to honor them by telling their tale. BLUE BABE!
Fat Electrician referencing the Battle of 73 Easting episode of "Greatest Tank Battles" was not something I knew I needed. I grew up on that how.
11:22 And that was an A-10 pilot thinking a British Scimitar IFV was a Russian truck
I can tell there is no Navy representation at that table, They wouldn't be drinking White Claw!
That was the best explanation for the war in Afghanistan.
11:20 iirc the reason why there was a blue on blue incident was because the old shitty thermal sights weren't very high resolution so it made an Abrams look a lot like a T-72 from a distance.
(Again I don't remember the exact reason but I think it was something like this, appreciate if anyone in the comment section could correct me on it)

Bradley Crewman here, in regards to the Iraq War and the Bradleys. We lost a total of 20 Bradleys during that time. 17 of them were to friendly fire.
i think of two things: getting stuck under power lines, and greatest tank battles-73 easting, a bradley lost its commander to a tank( i think) that had a saybot punch through and the vehicle didn't explode so some enemy got back in the vehicle and took a shot at the bradley.
10:21 Apparently, in 2016 the Saudis asked the US to replace around 20 Abrams tanks for vague “battle damage”, but they were likely lost during their intervention in Yemen. So while the US Army and Marine Corps have never lost an Abrams in battle, they have (probably) been lost while in the service of allied nations
A lot less Abrams have been lost compared to other MBTs. Even in Ukraine, they have only lost 5 in a year of combat. That’s not at all bad.
@@kinocorner976true, the only real reason that Ukraine lost those 5 Abrams tanks is because they lost them to FPV drones

Thank u guys for being the only other people that i seen at least. That actually tells the real truth about what the Japanese did and they really dont teach their kids about this. I saw video of Japanese college students finding out the truth about what they did during WW2. Several of the students got emotional when faced with the reality of what they weren’t taught about WW2.
the book mentioned is called "Unbroken".
Pff, they didn't surrender because of the bomb, they surrendered because we were showing up like UPS delivering naval shelling of anything bigger than an outhouse within 5 miles of the shoreline of Japan and thats when they knew all the defenses they thought they had were not gonna be enough.
Good contemporary book on the Iraq tank war - 'Iron Soldiers' by Tom Carhart (1994). Out of print, but if you can find a used copy, very good read.
Look up the Hiroshima miracle. A lot of the Christians survived.
If I remember correctly, the only Abrams we lost during Desert Storm was to friendly fire from some air support pilots (Apache or Warthog pilots?) given the wrong coordinates. A co-worker of mine was in infantry during Desert Storm and he said they came upon an Iraqi tank that had been hit by an A-10 and it looked like Swiss cheese. He said he had to be careful not to cut himself on the entry holes and there was nothing but scrap metal inside. He said there weren't any remains or smell, he thinks it was empty when it was hit, a target of opportunity.
Does anyone have a link to the book that HLC mentioned? He said it was called "Unbreakable," but all I could find was a book called "Unbroken"

You will get angry whenever you go down the rabbit holes already mentioned, Nanking, etc. But if you look into Unit 731, the Japanese nationalist prime ministers and their family, the volunteered Japanese army nurses brought in for Okinawa(they were school girls, mostly high school aged but still) and many of them didn't survive for a lot of reasons. The Imperial Japanese Military's comfort women programs and in general, all the atrocities they commited on Koreans, Chinese, and other peoples in the South Pacific area.
Fuk, the revisionists even bought a hotel in Canada, just to replace all the bibles with their literature of revised war histories. And their museums alone are blood pressure triggering.
These were the same a-holes who helped push their government to mess with the history curriculums after WW2. IF there is any mention of it all, it is pretty vague. There is an issue of many parts of WW2 getting mentioned to most Japanese of all generations today, will be responded with disbelief, shock and anger. If not at you then at their education systems for not actually teaching any history. Behind the Bastards does a few podcast dives into these topics if you just want to listen about the subjects, as well.

To be fair- Russia invaded the Senkaku northernmost islands of Japan, and Japan realized they had no defenses set up for that and US was less bad to surrender to than the Soviets. Its a territory dispute to this day, and its not far to major Japanese cities on Hokkaido.
73 Easting. One Bradley to enemy fire. The largest loss wasn't at 73 Easting. It was 4 Bradleys killed by an Aviation LTC who wasn't authorized to engage. (He was the SC but wasn't qualled on ID among other things.) No Blue/Blue at 73E.

Just a reminder that Hawaii has around 50-60% Japanese population and most of the first responder casualties were Japanese Americans. The kamikaze were usually piloted by children or elderly to "regain honor".
The imps did not target the dry docs but the ships, many of which had Japanese sailors.
The imps thought ending entire bloodlines through familicide purely outta spite as leaving the repair docs untouched would mean most of the still floating ships would be repaired and used to attack Japan, stopped by general Yamamoto, a dude who studied in America with family in Hawaii, from attacking the hospitals while literally everyone else in command wanted to commit even more war crimes by targeting hospitals and first responders, as the "honorable" and "merciful" thing to do.
If the Imps considered familialcide against fellow Japanese as merciful, imagine what cruelty is.

It was also the tertiary target, Hiroshima being the HQ of one of the Japanese army groups and being relatively untouched by the bombing campaign was the primary target for both bombs. It was left intact because primarily because of it was well protected but a reason few seem to be aware of; it was vital to the production of fighters, the hope was they would continue to build substandard equipment if it was left untouched instead of potentially build some of superior quality somewhere else. Which is diabolical when you think about it.
