- Can suicidal bravery and fanatical determination make up for material, industrial and numerical insufficiency? As the Asia-Pacific conflict turns against the Japanese these questions are put to the test. The results are nightmarish.

Unexpectedly finding this newly released Hardcore History was like finding a $100 bill in last winter's jacket.
I'd trade a $100 bill for a HH episode without thinking twice.
SOOOOO true!
Spot on!
Yes : )
Right on time .. TH-cam was dying ..
Fell asleep to part 4 yesterday thinking: ''I should start re-listening again, part 5 could drop any moment.'' What a coincidence.
Yea same I'll start over a series same way. You're not alone homie
This was me a few days ago!
I was out of material myself to re-re-listen to. Too bad this will only last me a couple weeks, at best. =)
There are no coincidences
Dan, you beautiful bastard. I'm going to go back to EP1 and start them over and really savor this.
Hehe I did the same three days ago, and I'm up to episod 3. Going to listen up to episode 6!!!!
I would, but I redid 4 like 3 or 4 times over again in a row. Amazing.
you mean the "magnificent bastard"?
@@TheKres7787 No.

As an Australian I loved this episode hearing the way Dan speaks about our diggers really makes me proud brings a tear to your eye cheers to another amazing episode keep em coming 🙏🏼
You should hear him talk about the exploits of your heroic ancestors in Blueprint for Armageddon. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Dale Kerrigan , tell him he’s dreamin’
Yeah they seem so brave. They where not even in the army just reserves
Me too, Im an NZer, so most of our forces, like my grandfather's we're mostly kept to the European theatre, North Africa to Italy, while only a small amount as far I know served alongside their Aussie cousins in the pacific.
I had not idea the extent of how much the initial lot of Aussies were reservists while their most active forces were still tied up in N Africa. Pretty inspiring how they went toe to toe with these veteran units. Insane.
Dan I just finished my masters degree in history, listening to your work has had an enormous impact on my life and the direction it has taken. thank you so much
I started my masters in history, partly because of Dan
DCHH helped me get through my PhD.
Check out Mark Felton as well on TH-cam does great ww2 shorter stuff
love his show. Want to listen to his old shows do any of you know which time in history his old shows are? Want to go buy the old episodes but don't know which one. Though I never knew I was interested in this period until The first 10 min of this series . He has a way of pulling you in like you where there
@@1BestCookie Dan covers a wide variety of historic periods. Everybody has their favorites, and mine are probably Roman Republic and WW1 - they highlight his amazing ability to humanize and "simplify" very complex episodes in history. I highly recommend you look through the library on his website. The episodes are well worth the few bucks, and it's a great way to support the team. Enjoy!

All my friends think I'm weird for geeking out over a history podcast... Hardcore History is no podcast it's an experience
Theater of the mind
History i find far more fascinating then fiction not only because it really happened but many times its like wtf jesus they did this mfr did what or damn he played himself
@@cosuinofdeath Real history is so much more exciting than fiction because just like you said, *it happened.*
It's like being high
Dan you should make your thumbnails into posters I would buy like ten or eleven.
Yes!
Oh hell yes!
My dad was a aviation torpedoman on CVL ,use to always tell my brother and I "you two are lucky to be here"
@@timshull59 nice, I grew up listening to my grandpa tell me about Chosin. Our forbearers are something awesome for sure
@@m.m6770 I totally agree! shortly before he passed he told that next to being a husband and father that serving in the Pacific was the most important thing he had ever done in his life....Greatest Generation
Can I get Hell yeah for more Hardcore History?
Hell yeah
Helllllll yea
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, HELL YEAH!
Hells yes
Heal Yeah!
*stunner*
*leaves*
Supper Excited as a truck driver, l listen to Dan and makes my trips shorter hahaha. Thank you Dan !
Dan is the BEST for long trips. He can really make those hours fly by but in a supremely absorbing way.
Machine operator, same situation. Make the day fly by
Just as Dan mentioned the "moving of the Australian soul" I was getting chills thinking about Kokoda. That and Gallipoli are so ingrained in my sense of national spirit, it doesn't take much to feel emotional. It's great that a more international audience and in particular, a bunch of Yanks will hear about this part of WW2 history.
I'm sure when the next great war comes, we (Americans and Aussies) will again be side by side to face them.
Jesus. To think of how closely many of us are joined by this war. I'm a half black yank, my grandfather was us navy, my granddad Royal British Navy. His naval diary is my prized possession.
Believe me, we Yanks know . Much respect ❤
We all love our Anzac brothers in arms
Excellent analysis. My grandfather survived being a Japanese POW for many years in Taiwan after getting captured in fall of Singapore. He was convinced the cruelty came from the top i.e. Imperial orders. He wrote about his experiences in One day at a time by Arthur Titherington. Lest we forget
Maaaaan. I realize how getting the ww1 series complete
was a gift. Waiting for all of these was a joy too.
Love it dan
The five dislikes at this point are because THIS IS TOO SHORT.
When i first saw this, my first thought was... "damn, ONLY 3 hours!?"
@@delpheus7658 Kinda worring, TBH. XD
@@delpheus7658 Exactly my reaction XD it's concerning that the unit of time for Carlinians is so warped XD
It's obviously lame ass weebos 😆noooo Japan's the greatest culture ever an never done wrong lol
Creeping expectations. Soon if Dan's episodes aren't 10 hours long and come out every 5 months, fans will be outraged.
Hallelujah, I was just thinking this morning how bad I wanted the next episode and here it is! Thank you for everything you do Dan 👍
Hurray!
Same thought I was hallucinating.....again
This is my morning as well haha.
Same.
That’s every morning for me 😆
Great episode! It is good that you recognise the Australian effort as it has often been ignored or not recognised by other nations.
I'm a Yank. I know of the Australian military prowess in WWII and Korea and Vietnam. You guys were not to be messed with.
Na, US history fans know how tough Australia's troops have always been.
Oh yeah you mean the Australian effort in sending iron ore to Japan for decades and up till just a couple years before the Japanese began hostilities, yeah great effort.
Veldtian1 I think all of us can take a hit on that one. July 26, 1941 was the day Roosevelt cut off US oil supply to Japan.
@@peterlancucki4928 the examples go on. American industry titans did business with the Third Reich.
Nobody has ever told anything involving history like Dan Carlin does, your style is a masterpiece in and of itself. Thank you for making history that needs to be told undeniable visible and riveting.
Hardcore history may cover some terrible topics and horrible human experiences, but it makes me undescribably happy to have access to this content.
Because this man takes us into real journeys into history. Not BS. Well researched, deep dives. Fuck all the haters. I am a serious historian and Dan Carlin, despite all the self depreciation, is one.
We are chronogically or geographically removed from wars ourselves, so we can look at them more dispassionately, and as a topic of interest. Wars are awful but important in what they reveal of human nature. I think for the people who suffered and died in these wars, on all sides, its important to take a sober look at what it was, and is. I think that is the best way to remember them.
Amazing content. Dan really brings the events of history to life
I listen to it to keep perspective. there are wonderfully kind and beautiful people in the world, and I have met a lot of them. There also exists the chance that you might be in the crosshairs of a torturous massacre at any moment.
"... indescribably..."
I listen to your shows with my father almost every day! We both can’t get enough of it! You’re one of a kind Dan. Always a pleasure listening to your wisdom!
It's so great to know there are people out there who are stunned and thoroughly shook by these first hand accounts.
I also know who to talk to...Mr. Carrington.
Christ I wish my father wanted to know about history as much as me to listen to Dan Carlin! Enjoy and revel in what you have, it's one of a kind!
The episode art keeps getting darker and darker. I fully expect “Supernova... 6” to look like a Cannibal Corpse album.
It is more than 2 years since part 1, and im still giddy :)
Oh man I was planning on sleeping soon but it looks like I'll stay up another 3 and a half hours.
Haha, me too. Ill just fall asleep listening to Dan Carlin as I've done many times before. Last time I did that I dreamed about Alexander and Olympias as Dan lectured.
Same here
Much much better for road trips keeps me attentive even after driving after midnight. Great storytelling brings history alive.
Yes torturing your enemies will stop your troops from surrenders, yet it will also stop your enemy from surrendering
This has to be the best TH-cam notification ever, also the artwork is incredible.
Dude... i never wake up for notifications. This one woke me up.
TH-cam asked if this was a good suggestion.....I have to give'em the big smiley!😄
I'm at work so seeing this come up for easy listening is amazing
Yes
This is the worst thing I ever clicked on...
...now I have to wait for the 6th episode.
I usually wait until all are available. I hate waiting.
Dan, you are building an incredible legacy and how lucky we've been to come along the ride with you. Hope you are well and remember you can take a day or week off when you need to ;)
I passed out watching something and when I woke up for work this was playing. So good I couldnt turn it off. Thank you sir.
for a guy who works 7 days a week, 12 hr days this is what keeps me going. thanks dan and co for producing consistent quality work.
My late father was in the Marine Corps in the Pacific during WWII. He rarely talked about his experience there. However, he did talk some about island hopping. As the Marines advanced, they would leave a force behind. A communications specialist, he was part of that remaining force. After the Marines leap frogged to their next target, the Japanese would counter attack those thinly defended islands with bombers. My father said there was nothing more terrifying than being bombed - men would get in a foxhole and dig with their bare hands to make those holes deeper while bombs exploded around them. He found the cook in their unit had been decapitated in one of those attacks.
The other thing that stuck with me was just how many of his friends from back home died in that war. He talked about them more than the war itself.
My Great Uncle was a Navy "Frog Man"; he was apart of a unit that would support the landing at Saipan.
Before he died he sent me an envelope filled with declassified photos, I was much too young to understand/appreciate them. I had never heard of Saipan, and only knew of "big events" like D-Day.
It wasn't until much later, with a renewed interest in Naval and American history that I took a second look.
One of the images was taken from the ship that his unit was disembarking from, in view was his small boat (more like a raft), there was a small note written by my uncle in the corner.
"Our job was to make sure the Marines could get ashore safely, but many of them never came back".
I cannot fathom the things that he saw.
RIP Uncle Roy
Respect to your great uncle.
The story of Baldwin IV the Leper King of Jerusalem and Saladin would be something you haven’t touched on much yet Dan!
If you’re ever looking for a new idea 💡 😬
I’ve been hoping for a crusades show for years!
I was just watching kingdom of heaven today to
@@FA_363 The Children's Crusade would fit nicely into Dan's repertoire haha
@@jacksonsteele3403 Currently watching it right now as well. The Director's Cut is like watching an entirely different movie and is considered one of Ridley Scott's best films. Scott wanted the original 3 1/2 hour cut of the film in theaters, but the studio held firm in keeping it to 2 1/2 hours which they later admitted was a mistake.
@@josephagundez5336 oh wow i didn't even know there was a directors cut. Im going to have to check it out
I always listen to you Mr Carlin, when I feel my little life is “crappy”..., (perspective), my friend. My life ain’t perfect.., but your narrations of history, and what other men have endured, gives me a little more fuel to go another mile in my own journey. The pacific was is a great example, I cut my teeth with your episodes on ww1.., MAN! Those were some truly horrific recounts☠️. I just wanted to thank you for your efforts Sir, and say “well done”. You do the tales of both sides justice..., I think. Be well Sir.....😎
PS..., and how nice is it that my tiny “voice” , through TH-cam can reach out. Some time we live...really!
Keep on, keepin’ on.
Just finished part 4 yesterday... I'm the luckiest man alive.
I just finished part 4 a few days ago I was so excited to not have to wait too long
Me too
Seriously I'd love it if he told us how many were in a series but I'm not always sure he knows
You deserve it.
There was an American on youtube who lives on Saipan and hikes. He explores the caves of Saipan. He says every cave is a mausoleum full of human bones. Videos of him exploring and picking up bones and talking about the Japanese. EVERY CAVE has these bones, and over every yard of soil. He had a video of finding human bones (clearly human bones) within a few feet of a schoolyard, on the surface of the ground.
Do you know the name of that channel?
@@ceili He stopped making videos 6 years ago. He teaches at the local college there and is still on the staff roster, so he's still alive. th-cam.com/users/SaipanPicturesvideos

@@danlnad Thank you
The artwork for this one is on point!
Thanks Dan! I just bought the ghosts of the ostfront an wraith of the khans just so I can help support these awesome episodes. PS both purchases are extremely worth it!
Same, thors Angel's is a favorite, the Cuban missile crisis and prophets of doom are just CAPIVATING.
@@dustyfairview9062 what’s the Thor one about? I might have to check it out.
My god, this was one depressing episode. Great work, Dan, as usual, but man this was a brutal war.
Absolutely breathtaking.
I went back to re-listen to Blueprint for Armageddon, which I'm almost finished. I was going to re-listen to this series after that, but I wasn't expecting a new episode to drop!
Dan Carlin is the only thing I’ve enjoyed in 2020. Speaking of, 2020 would make a good HH episode!
Nah nothing happened in 2020.

Man, the excitement whenever I see a new upload. Thank you so much for this, Dan!
I agree the thumbnails must be printed and sold as merchandise.
My main area of knowledge is the 30-years war. The small German states were at various points empty of civilians. Either they've fled into the woods/swamps or they were hanged, raped or just shot/stabbed to death. The term "living on the enemy's land" means you forage and eat your way through provinces. The army's just grew and grew. Battles were brutal but actually rare. Soldiers from Sweden who got selected for service had 2-3 years left to live. One story from a family farm was Grandma, grandpa, two uncles, mother, father and 5 kids (3 teenage boys 1 young girl and a toddler) Both uncles, father and 2 sons was drafted. A few years later one uncle was alive and the last son got drafted and died within the first year. The toddler who was now grown were also forced to fight and died in garrison duty. When the war ended the one uncle came back blind and only one leg.
Nobles died like flies and the women of the nobility had 1.9 men for every 3 women. I cannot find numbers for the commoners except isolated villages. And Sweden was one of the winners.... 70 years later Sweden fought for it's survival for 21 years 200 000 soldiers died and these were all from Finland/Sweden That's not counting those who died at home in plague and starvation. 25-30% of the total male population perished. Now keep in mind the war was fought outside of Sweden . The amount of dead in central Europe must have been of the charts... probably worse than both world wars...
Wow that's crazy. Thank you for your input.
I love it here :]💖 Loved the Lex interview, Dan! Can't wait to process this podcast too :D
I actually found Dan thanks to Lex now I'm hooked
1:34:29 "Boiled lollies" are a type of candy, often multicoloured and patterned with stripes. My grandparents always had a big jar of them when I was a kid. In Australia, we call candies "lollies" (like a lollipop) and candy bars "chocolate bars".
I'll listen here on YT, then I'll go buy it off the website as I always do. Thank you Dan and team! You are awesome!!
"Lollies" are what Aussies call pretty much all candy with the exception of chocolate bars.
Thank you Dan, your stories bring history to life and your hard work and dedication really shows in the quality of your work.
My grandpa was in the Navy in the pacific during the war. He had a live .30-06 shell which he had filed a slit into the bullet and wedged/puddiey a polished price of sharpened brass into and used as a letter opener. The peice of brass was oddly shaped, sorta like an abstract F shape but kinda polished up and rounded off. Not like a blade. But he used this contraption as a letter opener for many years. When I asked him where he got the brass fro and why it was oddly shaped he said it was shrapnel and then educated me on what the word shrapnel ment. back then I didnt get the significance of it, but on the peice of brass he had etched "close call" on one side and "Siapan 1944" on the other. We still have it and I get chills holding it even though he has passed on. I just wanted to share his story. Haha he also had a bunch of photos and one was hi in his Navy unifor holding a rifle standing next to a barbed wire fence on some base somewhere, I believe it was the Philippines if it was the same base as other photos in that batch. But on the back of that picture he had written "here is me guarding the fence so it doesnt run away."
Respect to your grandfather.
Everyone should also watch The Pacific if they haven’t on HBO. Dan mention him at one point but it’s based off the memoirs of marines in the pacific like Eugene Sledge.
The pacific is really good.. does a good job with legends such as Chesty Puller, John Basilone. Also follows the source material of With the Old Breed quite closely..
@@tomaseriksson5430 I rewateched it after listening to all of dans episodes in this series and It truly did a fantastic job of showing what these men went through. Also made me realize why so many marines Ive met over the years think their hot shit lol
Read the book "With the Old Breed". It provides great detail about WW II in the Pacific theater.
@@braderwin6488 The audio book is available on youtube. Defiantly a great book
EVERYONE.. CLICK THE DAMN THUMBS UP BUTTON WILL YA! THE MAN DESERVES AT LEAST THAT FROM US!!
I gave it one before it even started.
And buy his stuff online! Let’s support this man and his amazing work.
Thanks for the detailed and compelling narrative Dan. As a Dutchman my knowledge of the war in the Pacific was mostly restricted to Pearl Harbour and the dropping of the atom bombs. Your series puts these big events into context.
Loving this as an Aussie. Shout out to the Dutch and Norwegians who were in New Guinea with us along with the locals.
I learned a lot about New Guinea today. Thanks Dan!
Thanks for the "Diwali" gift... Love from India... 🎆🎆
Can we all take a moment and recognize the badass art that has been the background of this series?
God this series is SO good. I'm sad I only have one episode left
Praise!! I literally just finished my rewatch of the last four parts yesterday! Dan Carlin you’re such a legend
Praise the Moirai, for Dan's destiny to provide storytelling.
I knew it from the first episode Dan was going to make Saipan one of his dramatic closers. Can't wait for part VI to hear his final thoughts about this insane story.
This one hit me extra hard, with some tears. Because being a father with a wife and 2 year old daughter. It's different when I was 20 years old single & I read about the ww2 saipan civilians, but now I'm 35 with a family, revisiting this, im like omg this hits me hard with some tears how some of these families ended.
1:25:15 Wow! That story about cannibalism among the Japanese soldiers is amazing

Napoleon especially, you've mentioned him so much and I'd love to hear you tell the story!
The Kokoda trail is extremely underrated.

Sunday afternoon here in Southern England. It's cold and wet and dark outside. Get the coffee pot on the stove and the Pastrie's ready. This is going to be an epic afternoon now. Thanks Dan.

Back for my 4th round of this amazing series.
wow dan really was able to make a new episode within five months. that’s pretty fast
nice save on the thumbnail, making the number a tally mark
Thank you for this! I listened the first four parts in two days, and it seemed like a cliffhanger at the end :D
Well done Yank. As in World War One, Australians played a vital strategic role at the start of both World Wars . Changing the course of History against superior odds. And that is what set the stage for our extermination. Lest We Forget.
This is legit one of the most depressing things I have ever listened too. The extremes of humanity
Yeah; this series has been really disturbing. At the same time - outstanding content.

Long awaited... I keep listening the the previous episodes and every time I do I notice more and understand more.. Dan is in my ears as I drive to work for 45 minutes.. He's in my ear for hours as I work and he's in my ear as I go home from work.. Then he's in my ear as I go to sleep.. Or when I'm cleaning my home, or just chilling and playing games.. Such a big world he's opened up to me.. I'm very grateful for his gift to us.. I've learned a lot as like I to yammer on about those things to the people I encounter hahaha.. Just love it all! Thanks Dan!
The art work keeps getting better and better
I have been eagerly waiting for this one! Thank you Dan Carlin, your work is amazing!
This episode made me rewatch ‘The Pacific’ and it was a completely different viewing experience.
I really thought this series was over. This just made my life at least a few percentage points more enjoyable.
It’s literally 430 in the morning I got up as soon as I saw this
my grandfather was involved in the japanese side of this story as a 17year old soldier. Although everyone is commenting on this episode as if it was a release of an action movie, for me the reality of it all hits hard.
I just want to make clear that my like isnt a sign of disrespect or makeing light of either you or your grandfathers experiences/sufferings.
Im mostly sympathetic with the cause of the allies but I still have the utmost respect for brave soldiers like your grandfather and the things they went through.
I can't imagine how hard this must hit you, I don't think anyone in my family have been to war since people wore wigs and fought with muskets.
Fucking Cry
Can you elaborate on how and why it hits you "hard" compared to others? Due to the side your grandfather fought for? Or because you grew up in Japan? The aftermath was traumatic for you family?
