Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Part 5 of memoirs of a Japanese submarine commander , who describes submarine warfare from the Japanese point of view. Few Japanese submarine commanders survived the war, so how he lived to tell the tale is just one of the many remarkable stories.

"Japan felt that she deserved a place in the Asian sun" That is (translation pending) a direct quote of the German Kaiser Wilhelms demand that Germany deserves "einen Platz an der Sonne". And look how well that turned out.
No different than the American claim that it was America's "manifest destiny" to span the continent east coast to west coast. But from whence comes the claim of the American World Empire to be the policeman of the WORLD with elites entitled to tell everyone else in the world what they must and must not do?
Why not? After all the Eurpeoan powers all took over parts of Asia. So why not Japan? They were only emulating the colonial powers, and the US which moved west and seized lands from Native Americans, Mexico, and Spain. As the man said, the US had the Monroe Doctrine, why not them? So when the US embargoed oil and seized assets, it didn't leave them much choice. The only difference was US was a bigger bully and won the war. Same with Germany, when they moved into Poland to take back German lands seized from them in WWI, they were looking for their place. But we sided with Russia, who went in and took Poland, Lativia, Estonian, Belarus, etc. How does that make any sense? So basically we supported Russia in getting a bigger place in the sun than either Germany or Japan ever intended. Now we are trying to keep away Ukraine rom Russia, which had been part of Russia for the most of the time since 1800 and most of it's people speak Russian and many identified as Russian. What a tangled web we weave. What was the biggest diaspora that no one talks about? When 14 million ethnically German people were forced out of areas of "Poland" after WW2.
It shows how brainwashed they were. He talks about the Americans being arrogant but the Japanese were the ones who attacked Pearl Harbour. They were brainwashed into obeying the emperor whatever was the order. No sense of what was right or wrong.
BW .............If Japan would have won the war , these authors , ( Allies ) would have been suicided to death . .......still can't get enough of these stories !!!!
The AI voice is perfect for European ears. The words aren't always sounded out correctly but it's tolerable. Thanks very much for these fantastic stories.
The Japanese mindset was (who knows, maybe is) possessed of such fantasy at times. Between their insane tactics at Guadalcanal, their use of kamikaze attacks, and their bizarre conception that a few guys dropping small bombs could slow down US aircraft production. This is when their xenophobia and insularity came back to bite them hard.
The utter indifference to human suffering on the part of the Japanese to their neighbors and to their own people has no parallel in history. 35 million Chinese civilians paid for Japanese ambitions.
The kamikaze attacks weren't that insane, all things considered. By that point, US air defense had grown so capable, while Japanese had such a lack of experienced pilots, that the pilots were doomed either way, pretty much. So given that the plane and pilot weren't likely to get to make more than one attack anyway, might as well improve the odds of that attack hitting.
Question for @WW2Tales or the group ... do the playlists for this channel create a single story over several videos? That would be great. LMK anyone. thanks.
Guys he reading a memoir not reciting historical facts. Its just a journal, we all f up espicially considering the stresses of the war coupled with the time he took too write his memoir.
This was written post war, as is evidenced by his use of American recollections and views. And no self-reflection on the flaws of what his country did or how it carried out the war, other than blaming the failures of his particular branch of the military on people outside of his branch.
America didn't take Texas. the Texans fought a war of independence, in fact it was a long time before the U.S. made it a state, they didn't want to at first.
And in fact, Mexico did not have control of New Mexico, California, and Yucatan. Texas revolted to reinstate the Constitution of 1824 that was usurped by Santa Anna. Revolutions broke out in San Luis Potosí, Querétaro, Durango, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Yucatán, Jalisco, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas. Santa Anna gave his troops 2 days to rape and pillage Zacatecas.
The Japanese first bombed The United States at Pearl Harbor and Honolulu on Dec.7, 1941, not Oregon on Sept. of 1942. The Hawaiian Islands is and was US soil. Get your facts strait!
This is a reading of a retrospective on the war from a Japanese serviceman, not a play-by-play factual documentary. There will be incorrect statements and differing opinions. Don't take it at face value, rather, take it as a peak into the mind of someone thinking back on their experience of the war.
Meh, you don't see me working all up and over it about Dutch Harbor, do you? Attu, Kiska ring a bell? At least we're part of the continental USA. Though, we don't generally consider US occupation in such a positive light anymore.
While in no way do I condone a surprise attack, America put Japan in a terrible position with the oil embargo. An overpopulated group of islands, Japan needed resources desperately. The U.S. had already disallowed Japanese immigrants to America which upset the Japanese - the embargo was the last straw. America did not take Japan seriously. Even after Dec 7th, the U.S. with Britain declared the “Germany First” policy. We didn’t take Japan seriously, an egregious error on our part.

This guy certainly writes marvelous fantasies!
"Japan felt that she deserved a place in the Asian sun"
That is (translation pending) a direct quote of the German Kaiser Wilhelms demand that Germany deserves "einen Platz an der Sonne". And look how well that turned out.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were given a place among 1,000 suns.
...and there is that shit hole called the only democracy in the M.E.

EPSTEIN
Thanks. I don't agree with this guy but it is interesting to hear his side.
It shows how brainwashed they were. He talks about the Americans being arrogant but the Japanese were the ones who attacked Pearl Harbour.
They were brainwashed into obeying the emperor whatever was the order. No sense of what was right or wrong.
Revisionist history at it's finest😅

Computer generated audio SUCKS

The IJN Submarine Service was the worst performing of all the major navies of the war.
They did have to supply isolated garrisons which reduced their efficiency and interfered with their mission.
But they were effective because they had better torpedoes.
IJN destroyers were a better submarine force than their actual subs lmao.
Question for @WW2Tales or the group ... do the playlists for this channel create a single story over several videos? That would be great. LMK anyone. thanks.
Yes sir ,each playlist covers single story over several videos, regards
Yeah it’s a little confusing at first. Just go to the pinned comment and there’s a playlist with the chapters in order.

Yeah, so they didn't cover US History or Texas history much in Japanese grammar schools.
@@JD-tn5lz well, for whoever is watching just got one.
It was a fight over the balance between slave and free states that delayed its admission.
@@jrt818 Not at first
Around the 9:29 mark I'm sure it's supposed to read "us", not "U.S."
2:35 The Nachi class cruiser was superior to many of her foreign counterparts? Probably because they were violating the Washington Naval Treaty.
What year did this author pass away?
So the Japanese started fire bombing us first. Oof.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobuo_Fujita
So, the Japanese were fighting the Vulcans?
No the klingons
@@erichughes284 Kap'Lah!
Most illogical.
gd. arrogant people. wow.
The Japanese first bombed The United States at Pearl Harbor and Honolulu on Dec.7, 1941, not Oregon on Sept. of 1942. The Hawaiian Islands is and was US soil. Get your facts strait!
Technically, Hawaii was a territory in 1941. Oregon, on the other hand, had been a state for a long time.
@@ChrisHyde537Territory or State,I believe both would be considered US soil.
Hawaii was not state until 1959. As a territory, it was not the same as an American state.

At least we're part of the continental USA. Though, we don't generally consider US occupation in such a positive light anymore.
