@@jaredjosephsongheng372To be fair, it was not so much the tin can that sunk the ship, it was the high explosive that was in the can. "When a bomb sunk a ship" would have been a more accurate (though probably somewhat less click generating) title for the video.
Thank you for telling Job's story. Many South Africans lost their lives, and my Grandfather was wounded in the battle of Tobruk. I'd like to believe Job was one of the stretcher bearers that got him to the field hospital, and out of Tobruk. A true South African hero.
Job Maseko was a great soldier to serve the South African 2nd Infantry Division! Making a bomb out of a tin can and filled it with cordite and causing a freighter to sink with it (and a little help with dry straw, gasoline and other explosive devises)! It's so sad that he died early because of an accident at a train station as a loyal police officer. He will be always remembered! Thank you Yarnhub for making yet another great animation of a great story! Keep it up!
It's quite the show of intellect of the time, isn't it? A bomb made from cordite from discarded bullets, straw and gasoline, all in a perfect spot for a brutal detonation, during a long war.
Even more insulting is the fact that other soldiers got as much as housing and land just because they were white, while soldiers who had the apparent audacity to be black were often given 2/5 of a white veterans’ pension, as well as some small, useless item like a suit or a bike.
Many soldiers irrespective of colour get a raw deal when demobbed, job started his service as an ex miner, after the war he became a police man, as a miner this would not have been possible within his society at the time, without his war record, so he did receive a degree of recognition. Thousands of others of all shades were just discarded afterwards, and they still are, despite their heroism and bravery, not denigrating the man's bravery, just saying there will be many more like him that have slipped into history unfortunately unrecognised.
God took this man home early because he shown at a young age, ALL the qualities that most take multiple lifetimes to accomplish. I don't think I can put it any better. Shine on people. ❤
Gotta love the Hoist the colours soundtrack, for some reason when starting watching this it felt like a pirates of the Caribbean vibe for some odd reason hahah
Job Maseko was a South African soldier during World War II, serving in the Native Military Corps, as part of the South African 2nd Infantry Division. He was one of many Allied troops captured by the Axis in the surrender of the port of Tobruk in 1942. He gained fame by his actions in sinking a German vessel whilst serving as a POW stevedore in Tobruk harbour, for which he was awarded the Military Medal.
Maybe not with money because of its color and maybe not while alive, sadly. But it's bravery will be rewarded by the respect of all who saw and will see this video, and it's history won't be forgotten.
Over 80,000 non-white soldiers from South Africa volunteered during the WW2 and were part of the Native Military Corps. Because of the backward and discriminatory nature of the military these soldiers were given non-combat roles eg strecher bearers, dirivers, cooks, etc. The story of Job Maseka , Lucas Majozi and many others served with a hope of a better world and future for their children. After the war all that they were promised was not fulfilled, in South Africa they returned to a life of third grade citizens. My grandfather was also part of the Native Military Corps based in north Africa. Most of those heros died as poor alcoholics
Yarnhub, there was a battle where a stug 3 ace and his crew stopped tons of russian tanks all by themselves and held their ground till Germany surrendered. Don't know much about it but it was called battle of Kurland
I swear, it seems like most of these videos sadly end with the hero dying either in combat or in some other awful way. It seems very few of them actually make it to old age. Perhaps their daring nature is why they were able to do the heroic acts they did, so maybe its not surprising that many of them were killed.
Hello from Detroit Michigan USA Great video Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure through time
5:35-6:05 Haven’t seen a comment mentioning this (and I know the video is 3 months old at this point), but the song playing in the background is “Hoist the Colors” from Pirates of the Caribbean. Don’t know if it was intentional or not, but I liked the detail!
Weird fun fact but about halfway through the video you can hear the background the music is a brass instrument rendition of the pirates song "Hoist the Colors"

The song playing in this is hold fast hoist the color's eye from the pirates of the Caribbean movie 3! A d*** appropriate song for a man who just refuses to give up.

One small can can make a big difference
"Can a misplaced shot sink a ship?"
"No, but a tin can."
here is your award, sir
This is going to be one of those 1.k comments huh?

This is a genius comment

"Why use giant 200mm naval guns to take down a ship when a tin can does the job perfectly"
Tin can filled with pretty strong explosives)))
Or a can of spam
The chance aren’t always like that 🤓
Ya true a tin barrel works great
It could work with a match stick and gasoline too
“Sunk a Ship! + 1000”
“Stealth + 100”
“Creativity + 100”
Creativity should be ♾️
Like seriously.
Who in the World would think of using a Tin Can to destroy a Ship.

My first thought was "Big deal; destroyers sank lots of ships."
Then I realized it was a literal tin can.

HONORS to this man. Thank you for telling his story.
I just noticed the Hoist the Colors leitmotif at 5:35
He might have actually helped cause the victory at El Alamein.
No.
Gotta love the Hoist the colours soundtrack, for some reason when starting watching this it felt like a pirates of the Caribbean vibe for some odd reason hahah
The anti-tank at the start that at point blank range missed it's only shot, now that was funny.
If a submarine can sink a train I don't see why a tin can can't sink a ship

Thank you for this story..I hope he rest in peace....
I've heard of this guy. And I give him royal Kudos for his bravery and ingenuity. He deserves to be properly rewarded. Back then and even today.
At this rate in a year yarnhub will be making realistic short movies that will surpass unreal engine 5 and mainstream animation.
Never knew a Tin Can could sink a whole ship, truly amazing
Such poignant story of a forgotten hero. Thank you
Imagine getting your battleship hit by a tin can, and just sinking it how humiliating
It’s not a battleship
5:35 All I can think of in this part is the song "Yo ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die"
Love learning something new in history, especially when it can be so well illustrated & animated.
Well done, Yarnhub.
He honestly should have put some of the bullets in there as shrapnel. It could have reached troops on land there.
you have honored this brave soul in your animation yarnhub
Great as always man If i had enough money to support you I would, but I don't so instead I share you with my friends!
5:35 that POTC music though… fantastic & very subtle choice man!
Incredible video. Thanks for the unique stories and great animation and epic narration. Love these little known heroic and inspiring stories.
fun fact the south african navy officers mess in simmons town is called Job Maseko after him. love how the mess for officers is nammed after him.
I’m a South African and I’m so sad how our country is to day
I am praying for my country to get better every day
I did not know about Job Maseko, He was brave and did a great job. I will read more about him. Thanks for your vids, very informative.
Job Maseko made an actual difference in the Second World War and they rewarded him like shit because he was an African. What an insult.
To paraphrase the Bard: "Hell hath no fury like a pissed-off man."
In the future you should do the story of how u-47 snuck into scappa flow and sunk the HMS royal oak. Love the vids. Keep up the great work.
German guy calmly asked "Did you smoke onboard the ship?"
I love the addition of "Hoist the Colors" in the background
See, Hollywood?. This is a perfect history where you can include real characters without forcing inclusivity with no sense at all.
More sensible and high quality content, at once very tasteful and entertaining.
I thought this was a video about the Tin Can destroyers during the Battle off Samar at first. Great video still.
we need Johnston story
when the vid started, i though that the vid was real. really good work
Kinda hard for a medic to make a such a hard decision who to save and who not
I would be sad if my heavy battle ship got sunk my a empty can of beans
Yarnhub: Emptying more than *1,000* individual cartridges.

Having a small segment of hoist the colours added in was brilliant
Good to have a story of one our men from South Africa, one I didn't even know existed, Thanks Yarnhub!
He’s looking at that tin can like “you did this?”
Nice animation 👌
Some of the animation on these are amazing tbh
I thank you for this video, i think i will thank you again when it is recommended again, i appreciate that you mentioned our South African elder
Wow i never thought i would read the words “when a tin can sunk a ship” on a history channel
Ps the animation is amazing 🤩

Hello from Detroit Michigan USA Great video Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure through time
*All thanks to one man and a tin can*
The bullets, matches and fuse: Am i a joke to you?!
Did anyone else notice the melody to “hoist the colours”? Or was they just me? Around 5:40 min mark
I was looking for this exact comment :))
This tin can has more history than my life
Fellow south african has done us proud
"When a tin can , FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH EXPLOSIVES, sunk a ship"
You sometimes can't sink a ship with a ship, but with a tin you would be unstoppable capable of achieving the power of a god.
the 3d animation reminds me of the original Xbox game Prisoner Of War. Super underrated WW2 POW game.
5:35-6:05

Vietnam: **Prepares to make Tin can traps**
"when a tin can sunk a ship"
The toilet that sunk a submarine:you are my child
Weird fun fact but about halfway through the video you can hear the background the music is a brass instrument rendition of the pirates song "Hoist the Colors"
I was gonna say just that and then found your comment lol. Starting around 5:35
What another sad but inspiring story
every Video is getting better, keep it up!
Hello yarn hub love the content keep it up👍😎
I got that pirates of the Caribbean joke
Campbell's is invincible now.
5:36 "Yo Ho... haul together... hoist the colors high... heave, ho... thieves and beggers... never shall we die..."

@@dynamicworlds1I think all political systems suffer from this, over believing your own competency is very much a common flaw.
@@CrusaderSports250 you didn't even read the excerpt I quoted correctly.
Every video is leagues ahead of the previous one in terms of animation and storytelling. It almost feels criminal to watch these for free. Keep it up!
Germans: Look! It's a tin can filled with cordite and explosives!
Germans: WHAT? EXPLOSIVES? OH SHI-
*kaboom*
Hi yarnhub can I get a hello?
hello
What he said :)
@@Yarnhub omg thank you for replying😄
I was thinking, ooooh, a can. YEET! BOOOOM. Oh, ok.
God bless this brave man
6:02 THAT SONG! I know it! It's so nostalgic...
An warship that can do high damage vs a tin
Thanks for this most interesting and educational video!
What a hero.
some real life Hogan's Heroes tactics right there.
I have watched all the videos of your channel, love your content 🥰
The song playing in this is hold fast hoist the color's eye from the pirates of the Caribbean movie 3! A d*** appropriate song for a man who just refuses to give up.
I love this channel I wish I knew how he did the animations
Love the videos but I think some deeper gunshots for the bigger guns could do the video Justice
you are amzing at story and cool
Tips for sinking ships: *tin cans* and *dropping grenades from airplanes*
Cool.... he sunk merchant ship with merchandise for them
We still have one of those tins of dried milk, empty of course in what we called the electric cupboard in my parents old home.
Yarnhub I have another good video idea, the charge of the USS Johnston during the battle off Samar, or just do a video on the battle
This is my reasoning as to how people that say they are, “oppressed” in the US are completely delusional.
They dont actually believe theyre opressed. They just act like they are to justify their ghoulish behavior towards others.
I’m waiting for the dude who dodged 6 SAMs lol, Major Emmet Tullia, aka ET.
War is definitely sad, but interesting
When the tin can is a bomb. Me: I am dead.
