"Whoever kills an innocent human being,it shall be as if he has killed all mankind,and whoever saves the life of one,it shall be as if he has saved the life of the whole mankind."

I have been a very amateur historian of ww2 for most of my life(80 years old), but this part of the Pacific war somehow escaped my attention. I was totally fascinated by this video. How I missed so many missions between Pearl Harbor and the Doolittle raids is beyond me. Thank you so much for filling in that gap. You guys amaze me.
This is SUPER cool. I'm Marshallese living in the Marshalls and my traditional home atoll is Mili. This kind of detailed history is not commonly known around here, especially around my age (90s kid). Your maps are very accurate looking as well. I've always followed this channel and was shocked running into this one. Keep it up.
Another amazing video! I so look forward to Tuesdays to get the next installment of this series. One side note, I love that you use topographical maps in your videos. It gives a whole new dimension in seeing how battles were fought. Great work as usual!
9:17 I think the importance of that near miss on the Enterprise cannot be overstated. The near miss caused a serious fire: Any better luck for the Japanese pilot, or any worse luck for the damage control team in putting out the fire, and the Enterprise would have missed both the Doolittle raid and Midway. The war could have been half a year longer.
@@louievelayo4100 The bomb hit a gasoline line, so the fire was serious right from the start. The flight deck was splashed with gasoline all over the place. It was as close as you can get, and the Captain wrote in the after-action report that the Enterprise's escape "can only be described as miraculous". So yes they managed it, but it was nowhere near as easy as you want us to believe.
@@korbendallas5318 That was shrapnel damage, not a direct hit. Also and this was from the ship’s damage report: “Although the fire seemed very threatening, it was soon extinguished with chemical foam from pressure-operated foam generators (phomene accumulators). By quick and effective use of the available firefighting apparatus, Enterprise repair parties successfully passed their first real test.” The fire was confined to a very small external part of the Portside catwalk. As the report stated it while the fire seemed threatening it was bought under control and put out quickly.
I can see the animation style for the Star Wars videos over at Wizards and Warriors is coming in handy here 😊 I'm glad you got to making this video; you've mentioned the US Carrier strikes in other videos but they deserve their own video, owing to their importance to future events. It's worth noting that of those two Wildcats who intercepted the second wave of Betties, one of them suffered it's guns jamming, so Lt. Butch O'Hare repulsed the attack practically by himself; a feat that would win him the Medal of Honor. Also, no mention of Bruno Gaido? 😞
Apart from the Doolittle Raid, these other raids were almost never heard of. Thank you for showcasing them and why Japan had attacked Pearl Harbour because they knew just how devastating the American Pacific Fleet was.
Let me add my compliments to this video. What a time to live!! I have read about WW2 my entire life. This part of the war only gets a cursory mention. "The U.S. raided the Japanese held island." This detail in not just the animation but the story is very impressive. I just wish my dad, who love the Victory at Sea" series lived to see this. Thank you.
The texto, the Voice, the animations... that's why big mídia companies are só desperated: this is on demanda and has much more informativo than aNY tv show Just AMAZING WORK, congrts from Brazil
Make no mistake, even Yamamoto held contempt for the US. There was no gentleman’s code of honor in the intent in his plan to bomb PH. He did so with gusto.
This video was like a movie to me. I was just missing some popcorn. But hey the crackers I was eating were just as good. Loved this video. Can't wait to see your special on the Doolittle Raid because I think it's a truly extraordinary event in WWII history. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
It's great to see such a in depth narration of a battle, usually it's a sentence or footnote in a documentary. Would love you to do a special on the battle of the coral sea, my great grandad was the admiral in charge of the combined allied fleet, rear admiral John (jack to friends) crace. Thanks for all the hard work!!!
Fascinating to watch the transition from standard six plane CAPs to 'however many fighters we can spare for this activity' begin. Give it a few years and some carriers would be loaded ONLY with fighters. Air defense is pretty important...
Wowee you did say in the previous video that the upcoming videos would be worth the watch and what an upgrade you have done! The animations have gotten much better, much more realistic. Congratulations on the work you have put in! Amazing effort.
Amazing the evolution of this channel. I had the honnor and privilege to start the ride send say one and i tank you soo much for the love and dedication you all put in you´re videos. TANK YOU!!! The Emperor´s Most Holly Inquisition aprouve this channel.
I love your channel. I’m excited that your doing series about history, as a history buff my self, I got a say you take it to the next level. Nice work👍
Is this video series getting away from the (roughly) chronological format? This has been my favorite part, tuning in each week to find out what happened during the war exactly 80 years this week.
This is still fairly chronological. It covers the US raiding actions from Pearl Harbor until April 1942. They have done similar moving backwards and forwards when covering the invasions of different islands (which were often simultaneous but make more sense when covered as a single event)
It's always awkward when your war plan relies on inflicting extreme attrition rates, but the war basically starts with fairly even trades between planes. Good thing Japan had the back-up plan of killing POWs, and committing suicide, to help convince the US that negotiation was completely impossible, despite that being Japan's entire goal.
@@chamberlane2899 Japan didn't consider surrender until around the time of Operation Meetinghouse; before then, Japan wouldn't even consider the idea of negotiating before a major Japanese victory, which they tried to achieve in China while buying time in the Pacific. And how could Japan consider surrender? The Japanese government was run by a group of militant extremists that literally grabbed power as a result of repeated assassinations in the 1930s: to even suggest surrender could be a literal death sentence. Even in 1945, with the US bombing Japan to ash, and a massive invasion poised from the south, Japan thought it could somehow keep some of its territory by negotiating through the Soviets.
@@chamberlane2899 After the Battle of Midway, Japan absolutely still believed it could gain more than it lost: I've never seen any indication that Japan was considering any kind of surrender, only a loss in gains it felt otherwise entitled to. The idea of defeat was still unthinkable. It's self-evident: why waste resources on a massive campaign in South China if Japan was planning to give China up in a surrender? Why not fortify the home islands, such that the US could never hope to bomb Tokyo without unsustainable loses? Why did they leave the Emperor's palace entirely vulnerable to a US attack, if his safety was their greastest priority throughout the war? It was because they still thought they could win: that, if they conquered China, the US would, for some reason, conclude that allowing Japan to keep some of its prizes was preferable to continued war. It was a delusion, just like how Japan deluded itself into thinking the USSR would negotiate a surrender on Japan's behalf, instead of attacking Japan from the north.
this is by far my favourite historic, military based youtube channel. your videos are exhilarating and highly educational cannot wait for the video on the Doo little raid.
Don't underestimate the Japanese floatplanes... the Emilys were very sturdy planes with a lot of defensive armament and were quite dangerous to take down. The best floatplane of the war.
A very good presentation, but one fact needs to be corrected. At 17:40, it states that both ENTERPRISE, and HORNET launched B-25 bombers as part of the Doolittle Raid...however, only HORNET carried and launched the B-25's, while ENTERPRISE provided the air cover for the raid.
I hope you guys at some point cover the exploits of the 1st American Volunteer Group, aka the Flying Tigers, during this time period. Because that series of engagements was bonkers
The early Pacific War I find most interesting. Like a boxer answering the bell Japan came out and landed a flurry of blows against the Americans. Knocked them senseless and had them on the ropes. This was close to the point where the Japanese believed that the US had their backs to the wall and would be afraid of further fighting and would cave in and sue for peace. Instead the US starts punching back. And starts landing some blows. And doing so without the material advantage that assures victory in the future. Japanese forgot that two things can happen when you put someone's back to the wall. They can surrender or... they can come out fighting like a wildcat with nothing to lose. Time and time again the US displayed almost suicidal courage in pressing home their attacks. Which I'm sure came as a tremendous shock to the Japanese.

This has been largely ignored by historians. There is a chapter on it in Pacific Crucible, by Ian Toll. Just read it today.

She might've still fought in Midway because the Yorktown got repaired in a few days
@@charlie8344 Your point? She *did* fight at Midway. I'm saying that she might not have if damage control would have failed to contain the fire.
Question is how big was the fire...
But I guess it don't matter since E's DameCon took care of it easily...

Well Done ❤️👍
This is terrific
What a lovely animation
great as always
I look forward to these history lessons about ww2. Thank you Kings and Generals. Superb content.
The best lesson is how the US cracked the Japanese codes months before the attack and allowed it to happen😉 Its declassified!!
Watching it again!!
love this episode
