My father and mother were at pearl during the attack. My father was on bull halsey's staff. My mother was sent back to san diego on a convoy. This is why I have no regrets about hiroshima.
The A-Bomb was a mercy in the over-all scope of things. It's a shame it made Truman so squeamish about using it to stop the Communists. It also didn't help to have traitors in the Manhattan Project.

Pearl Harbor-- carriers weren’t there, and most of the ships sunk were re- floated and repaired and several were in big battles against Japanese fleet. Midway /Japanese lost 4 carriers to our loss of one. Those were carriers they used in Pearl attack.
Correct. The Jap Pear Harbour attack had ZERO military impact on American military power. The only effect it had was American reaction - similar to smacking a wasp's nest with a stick.
My Grandfather in law was one of the men who raised the WV from the harbor. It can be seen in the background in some of the photos of the Japanese surrender in Tokyo bay. That must have been a gut puncher for them to see.
I didn't know that.. What I did know, was that the Canadians were brilliant in the Allied invasion of Europe. On D Day through to the hard (with many losses) Beveland peninsula battle which helped open the crucial port of Antwerp.
Haiti also declared war on Germany...not because their 20,000 man army was keen to fight, but so the corrupt government could seize German owned assets.
They did declare war on Japan 7 December 1941 but I think they wanted to make it official. What I mean is the declared war on Germany 10 September 1939 and since Japan was already a member of the axis since 1937. There were Japanese submarines near Canadian coasts and did not want to be accused of aggression if they sank a submarine. At least that's what I've been able to read but yes they did declare war the same day or arguably two year prior when they declared war on Germany.
Nobody order to launch a third strike. It was never part of the plan. The idea of a third strike is a lie spread by Mitsuo Fushida the leading officer of the first wave who in hindsight wanted to deny the IJN responsability in the defeat. What happened is that the Japanese never focused on striking US logistic. A third strike was never is the cards.

The role-model spy Popov for Ian Flemmings James Bond personally warned FDR that the Japanese were to attack Pearl Harbor and that is why they let USS Lexington and Saratoga leave Pearl Harbor. Popov was so furious over how his warnings were largely ignored that he decided to go to Hawaii in person to warn the Naval commander but didn't make it in time. There was an idiotic decision to move the whole Pacific fleet to Pearl Harbor with a 360-degree angle for enemy attacks instead of having the a large part of the fleet staying in San Diego.
On December 11 1941 Germany and Italy declared war on the US. The following day the New York Times front Page read 'Germany Italy declare war on US' Pearl Harbor did not bring the US into the war in Europe. That is a completely different scenario.
The USA is an industrial colossus. The sheer scale of the military and industrial response to Germany and Italy is simply staggering. It is still amazing to me that these countries would commit suicide like this. The USA just poured ships, planes, artillery, guns and troops into the war in overwhelming numbers. It's an amazing story.

There was no third strike planned. Nagumo did not cancel a prepared third strike. All of it were lies spread by Fushida, the lead torpedo squadron officer who wanted to mitigate the responsability of the IJN in the defeat. The Japanese almost never focused on striking logistic. Their idea was to create the conditions of a decisive battle, no more, no less. The Kido Butai planes were heavily damages after the first two waves, less than 50% of the planes were immediatly useable and still needed to be rearmed for another strike which would have been recovered late in the afternoon exposing the carriers to enemy attacks especially since the US carriers positions were unknown.

This video shows Japan attacking China and the Tripartite Pact being signed and then the US moving to the selective service act being implemented in Oct. 1940. What really shook Wash DC to the core, and got them moving towards a war footing wasn’t so much Japan’s actions, it was the fall of France in just 6 weeks in June of 1940.
What I find so remarkable is not the fallacy that “America won the war” and that Germany would have won without its interventions but that America’s undoubted contribution made to bringing about its end SO quickly…and in two theatres. America’s industrial and military mobilisation in such a short time is truly astounding! If one considers that Pearl Harbour occurred on the eve of 1943, yet only a year and a half later the D-Day landings were able to take place whilst America was fighting a major war simultaneously in the Pacific as the major player! That it was able to produce all the matériels for such campaigns is surely its greatest feat and where its biggest credit should go.?
Yes, a very comprehensive essay on the Japanese decision to go to war with the U.S. but having absolutely nothing to do with Germany or Hitler, other than the incidental effect.
Many documents revealed that Hitler did NOT want America into the war as they were close to choking off Europe and the UK. Imagine his frustration when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and the treaty stipulated that if one Axis country goes to war, the others (including Italy) MUST follow.
Once Pearl Harbor happened, Hitler was insanely estatatic. Although for years he had been cautious about provoking the USA. According to the 'Psychopathic God'.
Hitler didn't care about any other treaties. He thought that Japan would attack the Soviet Union if he declared war on the US and that the US was too weak to be able to pose a serious threat to Europe (at the time it was).
The tripartite pact only came into force if they were attacked, not the ones doing the attacking. Hitler was not compelled to declare war on the US. Why he did so still isn't perfectly clear, but they were already fighting an informal war in the Atlantic and the US was already overstepping the lines of neutrality in their aid to the UK. He seems to have thought it prudent to formalize it.
It was incredibly stupid, I watched another video that said that the Japanese actually told Hitler their plan to make sure Hitler would declare war on the US when it happened. Hitler already made a colossal mistake in attacking Russia, but then made a bigger mistake in declaring war on the US. What a moron. What the hell was he thinking? He should have told the Japanese that if they attack America, they are on their own.
The Americans always seemed to come up with a percentage of mad names. John Wayne's real first name was Marion. If you go back hundreds of years, Britain also had eccentric names. If you go back to 500/1000 years in the UK, in court cases, you get hilarious names popping up. And street names could be utterly shocking, to modern day ears. Often the streets where 'Ladies' worked had names that we consider shocking. Gropec**t Lane is marked on ancient town maps, in several different towns. Sometimes they survive today, as Grape Lane, etc. But sometimes names were given to remember important history. After Hitler ordered the Czech town of Lidice to be wiped off all maps, to no longer exist, (even the cemetery was flattened, the bones dumped elsewhere), the men murdered, the women murdered or sent to death camps, a few blonde very young children sent to Germany, to be adopted by German families, people named daughters Lidice, to let the name live. And a town of miners in England donated one day's pay a week, to a fund to rebuild the town, post war, not knowing if England would even win the war. Names and the stories behind them, are a fascinating part of social history. Even now, in America, there is a strong trend for Afro- Americans to name children after expensive cars, etc - and in Russia, children could be named after tractors and the October Revolution...
Or Waitstill Sharpe. 😂. If you know or have done the math on that guy, it doesn't matter what his name was, still I guess it was the times. He was a Unitarian minister.
@@georgielancaster1356 I suggest u could add to your recolection of "unusual" names this one rather complicated sample from southern lattitudes: "Crisis Catorce Dieciocho". Sic..!! I cross my heart this was true. It came to me from my mother, born in 1921, she had a neighbour, a girl from a family immigrated from the war and troubbles in Spain, where the child had been baptized as such, meaning literally: "Crisis in between 1914 - 1918". That european emergency was the greatest horror the world had suffered in a century, since the Napoleonic Wars....!! Cheers..!!
3:20 Hitler felt the best Germans had immigrated for America in the 1700 - 1800s. By 1790 as many as 100,000 Germans had immigrated to America, comprising an estimated 8.6 percent of the population of the 18 states. He felt he had to work with the remainder what was left in Germany, an amalgamation of a populous of perpetual weakness that could never really fully be resurrected to glory from the past, but he was still going to try to instill a new order. Poignant that German settlers designed and pioneered Conestoga wagons, which was used in the opening of the American Frontier.
I'm three-quarters descended from Germans who emigrated to Texas in 1849, in the aftermath of the political unrest and "revolutions" of 1848. My grandfather had a theory that the Germans in that period who valued freedom left and came to America, and those who were OK with tyranny and oppression stayed in Germany. He believed that this was responsible for both World Wars--but perhaps that's an oversimplification.... 🤠
Japan failed for the same reason the Confederacy failed: lack of people, lack of industry, lack of food, lack of iron, and they couldn't get enough foreign support.
Nagumo’s decision set the stage for Japan’s eventual defeat. A decision Nagumo made about five months later led the Japanese to crushing defeat at Midway!
really enjoyed this video, the colorization brings a whole new perspective to history! however, I can’t help but wonder if focusing so much on Hitler's worries takes away from the broader impact of Pearl Harbor on the entire war. it seems like a narrow view, considering how many lives and countries were affected. what do you all think?
Really intersted to know if the Japanese artillery batteries were horse-drawn like the Wehrmacht? Horse drawn artilllery (useful in WW1), was by WW2 a hinderance to mobile warfare on land.
I still can't understand why Japanese empire wouldn't take pearl harbor after the attack, doesn't make any sense. After that they knew darkness will come over them either they take it or not
The Japanese had bayonet exercise on randomly picked Philippinos picked off the street...co -prosperity ................thought prosperity demanded one survived.......
They did the same with Indian military as POWs. Would use them as target practise for snipers, as POWs. They also ate parts of Allied soldiers. Sometimes from recently killed, sometimes killed to eat. I believe the favoured cut was the big muscles at the back of the thigh. The war crime cases dealt with some of this, but of course, if nobody survived the massacres, there was nobody to give evidence. I know 3 American airmen, not identified, so as not to horrify their families, were killed on purpose for one particularly savage military officer to eat. NOT from hunger, but out of a sadistic, sick power trip. But the Japanese got off on a technicality. Everyone knew, and the poor chaps who had been told they had to be defence counsel, because nobody would volunteer, did such a professional job, they broke the case on technical grounds and all the senior officers were furious.
Much of the Pearl Harbor attack footage in this video consists of shots of U.S. Navy SBD Dauntless aircraft peeling out of formation to dive. Where? Not Pearl Harbor.
it always get me confuse whe FDR says a state of war has now existed with japan . intead of saying war starts now after this attack . sometimes i wonder if that was left open like 911 so we could declare war . some times that happens . i am veteran . is like when they tell you dont shoot unless they shoot at you becouse of politics you know your are screw . i live near our border we are also being left open with one hand behind our back and it goes to your area from here i seeit everyday .
There are also a lot more situations in the whole war that in my opinion are rare explained as why if the u boots were so destructive for the allies why they didn't built a massive fleet of submarines
This title about Hitler's worries has almost nothing to do with the video. The video was essentially a very slow rehash of the build up to the Pearl Harbor / Oahu attack. Hitler doesn't show up hardly until about 3/4 of the way through the video, and only a few seconds are devoted to his decision making / worries. And also some of the video choices are bizarre, such as showing Hess supposedly watching Hitler's Reichstag speech {really at the nearby Kroll Opera House} of December 11, 1941 speech. Hess was already imprisoned in Britain from May of 1941 and could not have been present. These TH-cam documentaries need to be more carefully made -- they increasingly remind me of my students' sloppiness in their pspers and dissertations.
Oahu is definitely NOT "the largest island in the archipelago." That would be Hawaii, which is why it is called the Big Island. And what is it with the British always mispronouncing the name Roosevelt? He was rather important even in British history. You'd think they could get his name right.
As I recall, the family of Roosevelts had 2 distinct lines that pronounced their name differently. If they did it, there is no reason for English speakers to worry about it. If you reflect on how many ENGLISH words are mispronounced by Americans, I am surprised you are willing to die on that hill.
@@georgielancaster1356A person's name is different from an English word. If I put out a documentary or video on a subject, I'd want to get it right. Yet lots of British documentaries get the name wrong. (And we all know the typical British reaction when a non-Brit pronounces a British proper name wrong.) BTW, Roosevelt is of Dutch origin. (Oh, and Americans speak fine American English, which is standard in the US. Imagine that.)
Pearl Harbor is not located on the biggest island of the Hawaiian islands ... Most populated yes ... The Big Island with the official name of Hawaii is larger than all of the other Hawaiian islands combined . (true) .
Not saying it isnt a good documentry. It's fine but the title is fairly misleading. The first 39 of 54 minutes doesn't touch on Pearl Harbor's impact on Hitler's worries. I don't know what's in the last third of the film but it can't be 54 minutes.
Departing the Kurils Islands, the Pearl Harbor fleet was keeping radio silence (22:20). Then, approaching Hawaii just before the attack, radio transmissions to Tokyo ceased (27:52 )? I'm confused.
Nagumo was, thankfully, a fuck up when it came to modern war at the time. He was a disaster preventing the third wave, and a disaster at midway. Hilarious.
There never was a plan for a third wave, That is all in Fujitas memory, now widely discredited. Even even if, several US planes got shot down by the now up and angry US AA. A third wave would have achieved nothing, if the damage to the returning planes from the second wave would not have made it impossible from the get-go. Also, he knew that US carriers where not in harbor. If not, the question was...Where were they? He could hang around, with the US carriers out there, while his planes were on a pointless mission, with his carriers and destroyers at the end of their fuel, or cut his losses and prepare for the inevitable next battle, preserving crucial and priceless assets of the IJN. As for Midway, Nagumo was given insufficient forces for both invasion and air cover and had to make the best of a chaotic situation.
To me, each of them..Italy.. Germany.. and Japan were each three countries wrapped up in one in many aspects ..it's mucb like a war against nine countries instead of three because each of the three had two others in alliance all together
Everytime a German was defeated, a Japanese and an Italian were defeated as well. Every time a Japanese was defeated, a German and an Italian was defeated as well..and of course.. Everytime a Italian was defeated..a Japanese and a German was defeated as well.. all the same

What really shook Wash DC to the core, and got them moving towards a war footing wasn’t so much Japan’s actions, it was the fall of France in just 6 weeks in June of 1940.
Could you add Polish dubbing to your videos? I need to listen to your videos and I can't always read text. Thank you for everything🤛
Dubbing, not subtitling.
Seen a nice bit of totty on the video very good indeed
Australia doesn't rate a mention! The attack on Darwin was bigger and more intense than Pearl Harbour.
He did not rise to a p[osition of unassailable power, he murdered his way there
15:57 interesting story of the bravery of Japanese warriors 🇯🇵
What I find so remarkable is not the fallacy that “America won the war” and that Germany would have won without its interventions but that America’s undoubted contribution made to bringing about its end SO quickly…and in two theatres.
America’s industrial and military mobilisation in such a short time is truly astounding!
If one considers that Pearl Harbour occurred on the eve of 1943, yet only a year and a half later the D-Day landings were able to take place whilst America was fighting a major war simultaneously in the Pacific as the major player!
That it was able to produce all the matériels for such campaigns is surely its greatest feat and where its biggest credit should go.?
Excelente
Yes, a very comprehensive essay on the Japanese decision to go to war with the U.S. but having absolutely nothing to do with Germany or Hitler, other than the incidental effect.
I'm sure he and his general staff discussed it at length, and did not like it at all. But you are right; it is mostly about Japan.

19:30 Correction, Pearl Harbor is NOT on the biggest island of Hawaii.
Many documents revealed that Hitler did NOT want America into the war as they were close to choking off Europe and the UK. Imagine his frustration when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and the treaty stipulated that if one Axis country goes to war, the others (including Italy) MUST follow.
Once Pearl Harbor happened, Hitler was insanely estatatic. Although for years he had been cautious about provoking the USA. According to the 'Psychopathic God'.
Treaty or no treaty, Hitler was a fool to declare war on the USA.
Hitler didn't care about any other treaties. He thought that Japan would attack the Soviet Union if he declared war on the US and that the US was too weak to be able to pose a serious threat to Europe (at the time it was).
The tripartite pact only came into force if they were attacked, not the ones doing the attacking. Hitler was not compelled to declare war on the US. Why he did so still isn't perfectly clear, but they were already fighting an informal war in the Atlantic and the US was already overstepping the lines of neutrality in their aid to the UK. He seems to have thought it prudent to formalize it.
It was incredibly stupid, I watched another video that said that the Japanese actually told Hitler their plan to make sure Hitler would declare war on the US when it happened. Hitler already made a colossal mistake in attacking Russia, but then made a bigger mistake in declaring war on the US. What a moron. What the hell was he thinking? He should have told the Japanese that if they attack America, they are on their own.
Your title was again misleading as very little of your video was devoted to Hitler's worries about Pearl Harbor.
Totally agree. I was taken in by a bad title. Very good doc but not what was promised. Change the title!
I'm so puzzled by the men whose first names were Husband and Doris. That's so weird.
The Americans always seemed to come up with a percentage of mad names. John Wayne's real first name was Marion.
If you go back hundreds of years, Britain also had eccentric names.
If you go back to 500/1000 years in the UK, in court cases, you get hilarious names popping up. And street names could be utterly shocking, to modern day ears. Often the streets where 'Ladies' worked had names that we consider shocking. Gropec**t Lane is marked on ancient town maps, in several different towns. Sometimes they survive today, as Grape Lane, etc.
But sometimes names were given to remember important history. After Hitler ordered the Czech town of Lidice to be wiped off all maps, to no longer exist, (even the cemetery was flattened, the bones dumped elsewhere), the men murdered, the women murdered or sent to death camps, a few blonde very young children sent to Germany, to be adopted by German families, people named daughters Lidice, to let the name live.
And a town of miners in England donated one day's pay a week, to a fund to rebuild the town, post war, not knowing if England would even win the war.
Names and the stories behind them, are a fascinating part of social history. Even now, in America, there is a strong trend for Afro- Americans to name children after expensive cars, etc - and in Russia, children could be named after tractors and the October Revolution...
Or Waitstill Sharpe. 😂. If you know or have done the math on that guy, it doesn't matter what his name was, still I guess it was the times. He was a Unitarian minister.
@@georgielancaster1356 I suggest u could add to your recolection of "unusual" names this one rather complicated sample from southern lattitudes: "Crisis Catorce Dieciocho". Sic..!! I cross my heart this was true. It came to me from my mother, born in 1921, she had a neighbour, a girl from a family immigrated from the war and troubbles in Spain, where the child had been baptized as such, meaning literally: "Crisis in between 1914 - 1918". That european emergency was the greatest horror the world had suffered in a century, since the Napoleonic Wars....!! Cheers..!!
3:20 Hitler felt the best Germans had immigrated for America in the 1700 - 1800s. By 1790 as many as 100,000 Germans had immigrated to America, comprising an estimated 8.6 percent of the population of the 18 states. He felt he had to work with the remainder what was left in Germany, an amalgamation of a populous of perpetual weakness that could never really fully be resurrected to glory from the past, but he was still going to try to instill a new order.
Poignant that German settlers designed and pioneered Conestoga wagons, which was used in the opening of the American Frontier.
I'm three-quarters descended from Germans who emigrated to Texas in 1849, in the aftermath of the political unrest and "revolutions" of 1848. My grandfather had a theory that the Germans in that period who valued freedom left and came to America, and those who were OK with tyranny and oppression stayed in Germany. He believed that this was responsible for both World Wars--but perhaps that's an oversimplification.... 🤠
Japan failed for the same reason the Confederacy failed: lack of people, lack of industry, lack of food, lack of iron, and they couldn't get enough foreign support.
Nagumo’s decision set the stage for Japan’s eventual defeat. A decision Nagumo made about five months later led the Japanese to crushing defeat at Midway!

Adoro esses seus documentos e incríveis da até de imagina o sofrimento dos povos que passaram por a segunda guerra mundial
Bizarre title. There was literally nothing on "Pearl Harbor's impact on Hitler's worries." Not a word.
Ha, ha, ha. You've been fooled.
Thanks for the warning. I won’t bother
Thank you for your comment. I won't waist my time on this "click bait."
TH-cam Clickbait.
@@huaweihuawei9901How about you?
21:34 that's not Ambassador Nomura that's Saburo Kurusu, Japanese special envoy to Washington and former ambassador to Germany.
Peace In World!!!! Brazil
really enjoyed this video, the colorization brings a whole new perspective to history! however, I can’t help but wonder if focusing so much on Hitler's worries takes away from the broader impact of Pearl Harbor on the entire war. it seems like a narrow view, considering how many lives and countries were affected. what do you all think?
Really intersted to know if the Japanese artillery batteries were horse-drawn like the Wehrmacht? Horse drawn artilllery (useful in WW1), was by WW2 a hinderance to mobile warfare on land.
Gostei muito da narração
38:54
I still can't understand why Japanese empire wouldn't take pearl harbor after the attack, doesn't make any sense. After that they knew darkness will come over them either they take it or not
Uma pergunta, essas imagens dos ataques, as imagens da guerra, são reais mesmo, ou são imagens criadas.?
São reais. Originalmente eram em preto e branco, mas a inteligência artificial consegue deixar em cores.
The Japanese had bayonet exercise on randomly picked Philippinos picked off the street...co -prosperity ................thought prosperity demanded one survived.......
They did the same with Indian military as POWs. Would use them as target practise for snipers, as POWs. They also ate parts of Allied soldiers. Sometimes from recently killed, sometimes killed to eat. I believe the favoured cut was the big muscles at the back of the thigh.
The war crime cases dealt with some of this, but of course, if nobody survived the massacres, there was nobody to give evidence.
I know 3 American airmen, not identified, so as not to horrify their families, were killed on purpose for one particularly savage military officer to eat. NOT from hunger, but out of a sadistic, sick power trip.
But the Japanese got off on a technicality. Everyone knew, and the poor chaps who had been told they had to be defence counsel, because nobody would volunteer, did such a professional job, they broke the case on technical grounds and all the senior officers were furious.
Muito bom esse vídeo
Much of the Pearl Harbor attack footage in this video consists of shots of U.S. Navy SBD Dauntless aircraft peeling out of formation to dive. Where? Not Pearl Harbor.
Good documentary but I fail to see the need for the background music
it always get me confuse whe FDR says a state of war has now existed with japan . intead of saying war starts now after this attack . sometimes i wonder if that was left open like 911 so we could declare war . some times that happens . i am veteran . is like when they tell you dont shoot unless they shoot at you becouse of politics you know your are screw . i live near our border we are also being left open with one hand behind our back and it goes to your area from here i seeit everyday .
Good documentary but the title is misleading
Looks like this is going to be correct. 1:55
Can I please have the song id that play at background
There are also a lot more situations in the whole war that in my opinion are rare explained as why if the u boots were so destructive for the allies why they didn't built a massive fleet of submarines
Didn’t two pilots get up into the air and shoot down some planes? Or was that just a story line for a movie
This title about Hitler's worries has almost nothing to do with the video. The video was essentially a very slow
rehash of the build up to the Pearl Harbor / Oahu attack. Hitler doesn't show up hardly until about 3/4 of the way through the video, and only a few seconds are devoted to his decision making / worries. And also some of the video choices are bizarre, such as showing Hess supposedly watching Hitler's Reichstag speech {really at the nearby Kroll Opera House} of December 11, 1941 speech. Hess was already imprisoned in Britain from May of 1941 and could not have been present. These TH-cam documentaries need to be more carefully made -- they increasingly remind me of my students' sloppiness in their pspers and dissertations.
Oahu is definitely NOT "the largest island in the archipelago." That would be Hawaii, which is why it is called the Big Island. And what is it with the British always mispronouncing the name Roosevelt? He was rather important even in British history. You'd think they could get his name right.
As I recall, the family of Roosevelts had 2 distinct lines that pronounced their name differently. If they did it, there is no reason for English speakers to worry about it.
If you reflect on how many ENGLISH words are mispronounced by Americans, I am surprised you are willing to die on that hill.
@@georgielancaster1356 Your comment made me smile.. All the best.. Liam Dale (Producer and presenter).
@@georgielancaster1356A person's name is different from an English word. If I put out a documentary or video on a subject, I'd want to get it right. Yet lots of British documentaries get the name wrong. (And we all know the typical British reaction when a non-Brit pronounces a British proper name wrong.) BTW, Roosevelt is of Dutch origin.
(Oh, and Americans speak fine American English, which is standard in the US. Imagine that.)
@@aresee8208 😀😊🤣😏
Well, somebody knew about it. The US carriers didn't leave PH to go fishing, did they?
Pearl Harbor is not located on the biggest island of the Hawaiian islands ... Most populated yes ... The Big Island with the official name of Hawaii is larger than all of the other Hawaiian islands combined . (true) .
Our senile president doesn't know the names of the Hawaiian Islands either...

Never wake a sleeping giant. 🇺🇲
Not saying it isnt a good documentry. It's fine but the title is fairly misleading. The first 39 of 54 minutes doesn't touch on Pearl Harbor's impact on Hitler's worries. I don't know what's in the last third of the film but it can't be 54 minutes.
Welcome to documentaries on youtube..
Departing the Kurils Islands, the Pearl Harbor fleet was keeping radio silence (22:20). Then, approaching Hawaii just before the attack, radio transmissions to Tokyo ceased (27:52 )? I'm confused.
Mass insanity.....How very very sad....for everyone.
Muito bom.
I think you left out the hostilities beween Japan and the USSR.
Nagumo was, thankfully, a fuck up when it came to modern war at the time. He was a disaster preventing the third wave, and a disaster at midway. Hilarious.
There never was a plan for a third wave, That is all in Fujitas memory, now widely discredited. Even even if, several US planes got shot down by the now up and angry US AA. A third wave would have achieved nothing, if the damage to the returning planes from the second wave would not have made it impossible from the get-go. Also, he knew that US carriers where not in harbor. If not, the question was...Where were they? He could hang around, with the US carriers out there, while his planes were on a pointless mission, with his carriers and destroyers at the end of their fuel, or cut his losses and prepare for the inevitable next battle, preserving crucial and priceless assets of the IJN. As for Midway, Nagumo was given insufficient forces for both invasion and air cover and had to make the best of a chaotic situation.
Germany declared war on December 10th ! Great timing, eh?
The US did NOT declare war on Germany after P.H.the only time the US declared war on Germany was April 2nd 1917’
To me, each of them..Italy.. Germany.. and Japan were each three countries wrapped up in one in many aspects ..it's mucb like a war against nine countries instead of three because each of the three had two others in alliance all together
Everytime a German was defeated, a Japanese and an Italian were defeated as well. Every time a Japanese was defeated, a German and an Italian was defeated as well..and of course.. Everytime a Italian was defeated..a Japanese and a German was defeated as well.. all the same
I challenge the History Channel to explain where in the Jay Treaty America declared its neutrality

Thank you very much for putting this together for us! I truly appreciate it! Happy holidays! 🇺🇸
I wish I had been about 20 back then.
The U.S. should have known the Japanes would attack.
They did. They just did not know where and precisely when. Singapore? Dutch Indonesia? Philippines?

Why have title in English while the documentary is in French??
Tô learn some french
Curioso, yo lo escuché enteramente en inglés y con subtítulos en español.
Change the language setting.. :-)
Actually the main objective of the attackers were the carriers but they weren't there.
Well done visuals. Political actors parallel to those running the war in Ukr@ine. Japan freaked out and the US dropped two atomic bombs on them. Have they learned anything?

Sorry, but Pearl Harbor is not on the largest island of the Hawaiian chain. Oahu is one of the smaller islands. Hawaii is the largest.
