Folks, if you love these videos, think about becoming a Patreon so that they keep coming. The level of research and the new graphics they create are stunning and do take a lot of money. Well worth a few dollars from faithful viewers.
For those visiting Pearl Harbor…..The USS Missouri (BB-63)…that museum/memorial is positioned so that the bow faces eternal watch over the Arizona memorial. The Ford Island hangar although renovations over the years and is now the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum……some of the bullet holes from the attack are purposefully left intact.
Excellent documentary. As always, I appreciate the maps and imagery that you use. As a visual learner, they were especially helpful for helping me learn more about the attack on Pearl Harbor. I hadn't seen all of the raw footage before either. I also appreciate being able to learn about Dorie Miller and Peter Tomich. Both were brave and selfless and courageous. Also, as always, great narration by Dan. Keep up the nice work.
The TH-cam algorithm seems to hate promoting long videos about military history these days. At least some of their videos take off an get 250K+ views. This channel is awesome for history buffs.
As an Australian, with some years on the clock, I find this such a sobering event to watch & listen about. I am lost for words to even begin to describe the sorrow that I feel for those killed & injured and their families, and for the USA as a whole. It is just so tragic.
Great video. Small nitpick, the quality/soundlevel of the commentary varies at times, little annoying at times. No big deal, doesnt distract from the great video, but wanted to give you some feedback.
Oh I have a named ww2 marine helmet with emblem to a Sgt stationed at Ewa during the attack. I obtained it from him along with all his paperwork, uniforms before he passed in 1982. He was a good friend of my dad.
It did but we took it down after a couple of days due to some tightening up of the visuals and extra segments added in that we thought made the story more understandable.
When you read about what happened before the attack you'll learn that it was the enlisted men who did everything right and the officers who made all the mistakes.
One small note. Hawaii is more like about 2,500 miles (or about 4,100-4,200km) from the US West Coast, not 5,000 miles. The closest major city is actually San Francisco, which is just under 2,400 miles from Honolulu. The distances from Los Angeles or San Diego, the other major cities on the California coast are a bit longer, at over 2,500 miles. While these cities are south of San Francisco, the coast bends to the east north of Los Angeles, putting the southern cities a little further away.
Despite being recommended by several Naval officers and congressmen for the Congressional Medal of Honor, Doris Miller was awarded the Navy Cross, because the Sec of the Navy at the time refused to sign off on the award of the MoH to a black serviceman.
I always think it is remarkable how quickly the US regrouped following the attack on Pearl Harbor. They ultimately dealt a far more devastating blow to Japan the following year at the Battle of Midway. Brilliant video - thank you.
Lived 8 years on Oahu and it is about 2400 miles to Hawaii and not 5,000 as mentioned. Also, It is Kaneohe and not Kanoehe. Otherwise, it was a pretty good video that gave a succinct description of that "day of Infamy."
InB4 someone says they should have gone ahead with the third wave, which was a) not planned, b) could not have done much because the fuel storage was NOT nearly as vulnerable as Nimitz said it was, and c) was logically impossible for the Japanese to pull off.
Did any of the wooden fins fail and the torpedoes hit the bottom of the harbor? My understanding is that their was never a third wave ordered, and, thus, could not be cancelled. Genda later said that he was on the bridge and heard nothing of a third wave.
And before anyone gets angry, reproved Pearl Harbor was vulnerable to air attacks with the fleet problems during the interwar years, report is also publish, but I think the department of defense in February 1941 stating Pearl Harbor is vulnerable to 6 different kinds of attack including sabotage, submarine infiltration, shelling, and at the top of the last air attack. And the most damning piece of evidence. Is the November 5 war warning order sent to all Pacific stations that war with Japan is expected it to happen soon add the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, does nothing about it
Being blamed for the events, and having insufficient defenses are different things Did pearl have inadequate defenses? Maybe Were the Americans to blame for Pearl Harbor? No, the Japanese were on a war path. The sanctions were laid out very clearly. Japan chose war, they chose war against China, Australia, New Zealand, Britain, Netherlands, India and the United States, committing atrocities that made the Nazis look human
Peter Tomich was Croat from Prolog, what is today Bosnia and Herzegovina. He spoke Serbo-Croatian not German. If you don’t wanna call him American after all he did, at least don’t insult him by calling him Austrian.
The funny thing is, I truly believe if they had just invaded Dutch Indies and British Malaya possessions that the U.S. wouldn't have declared war. Sure, Philippines is in the middle of your trade lanes but.... I really don't think U.S. would have got involved even at that point. It was the surprise attack that broke us out of our isolationism. 11:00 Always sobering seeing a man who knew his duty, and acted on it with honor when the moment came out of nowhere.
I love this channel. Great work. If possible Okinawa next or the future. My dad fought there in 45 1st Marines. Now my youngest sons there. But overall great content, keep it up!😊
It baffles me how Dorris Miller only gets a Navy Cross for all that he did and being one of the last to leave west virginia helping to remove wounded!! Yet two officers doing there job are killed and given medals of honour for doing nothing more then what is expected of a Naval officer!!
Black people weren't exactly highly ranked in society back then. But the top dogs probably knew that they had to do something, they couldn't just let it slide.
this was tragic but the americans got carried away with their military pride ... oh they'll never attack us .. they fear us as we are so big and strong ... booom boom boom ... aw crap they really attacked us ...

TH-cam algorithm really mean! I mean this is such a quality documentary! This deserves to be shared to the world!
Another amazing video from you guys!
Hoping your team covers Battle of Manila soon... You guys are amazing!
You should do a video on the Falkland islands, Amazing video as always glad ive been subscribed to you
Thank you for this post, very informative.
I served at Pearl Harbor 5 years. Lived at hospital point for a while. Thank you for recognizing the Niihau Incident, which is rarely done.
I was watching WWII’s Pearl Harbor attack series when you uploaded this! Talk about great timing!

Spectacular video again, guys.
We need an Arnhem documentary 🤞🏼
Superb video yet again 👏🏼
Perhaps about john baskeyfield
@@limes2 absolutely agree with this aswell 👍🏻
I really like your presentations.
Only 7.6k views. It pisses me off that such a good channel with such good videos get low views

Is it just me, or did this video come out like a couple weeks ago? I'm getting deja vous vibes.

Not sure what is different from the first but another great TH-cam video

Brilliantly produced and scripted video as always 👍
Getting better but still needs some work. At 14:18 you put a square around X turret on the stern.
That was excellent. Will you be doing anything on those that took the fight to the Japanese on the day?
Glad you enjoyed it! Something we may look at in the future.

They've named an aircraft carrier after him now en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Doris_Miller
@@devnull00 - An honour much-delayed, but duly deserved.

I'm confused. Is this a reupload?
Yes, we have added in some bits and realigned others to make it a bit better.

The ARIZONA Had 1,177 KIA's
& NOT 1,102...

That was a BIG mistake it cost the Japanese several city’s and almost all their ships
PLEASE look for 65 Infantry The Borinqueneers Heroes forgot Korea war. Thank you
This is going to be a hot take, but we are partially to blame for the events that took place
And before anyone gets angry, reproved Pearl Harbor was vulnerable to air attacks with the fleet problems during the interwar years, report is also publish, but I think the department of defense in February 1941 stating Pearl Harbor is vulnerable to 6 different kinds of attack including sabotage, submarine infiltration, shelling, and at the top of the last air attack.

Did pearl have inadequate defenses? Maybe

Listen to the information and you will know alot about what happened that day.
America had 4 Carriers in the pacific to start the war. In 1944 American Task force 58 had 15.
Peter Tomich was Croat from Prolog, what is today Bosnia and Herzegovina. He spoke Serbo-Croatian not German. If you don’t wanna call him American after all he did, at least don’t insult him by calling him Austrian.
Might just be laziness on the youtube channel's part, referring to Austri-Hungary simply as 'Austria'. That being said, I do get your point.
The funny thing is, I truly believe if they had just invaded Dutch Indies and British Malaya possessions that the U.S. wouldn't have declared war.

Tomich.....Croatian born

Thanks for the kind comment!
It baffles me how Dorris Miller only gets a Navy Cross for all that he did and being one of the last to leave west virginia helping to remove wounded!!

He Was Black & They Were
White, It's As Simple As That...
