sinks a carrier, a destroyer and hits a us battleship in a single torpedo salvo. goes to show the effectiveness of the Japanese longlance torpedoes.

Bleep!!! …..the way, tone and cadence of the way you read these is so bleeping annoying!!!! BLEEP! Why don’t you go Shunkaku yourself!!! 🙄🇨🇺🇺🇸

The Americans had one other advantage at Midway, in addition to having broke the Japanese code, their carriers also had radar while the Japanese did not. If the Japanese had had radar, it might have negated some of the American advantage.

Excellent video and historical research+ Incredible subs attack + daredevil reinforcement

Pearl, Coral Sea and Midway exemplify a serious weakness of Japanese strategy. They needlessly complicated all of their operations.

Send force to point in north, because is a trap and for sure CVs Americans are there. Signals: Radios in the start, that fleet cant be only oilers or that, position to the wind (airplane). And more revelant, no plane in island can hit him, they are noobs, so 5% chance of hit in another island wave atack to his Cvs.

The Japanese didn't get it right very often in WWII, but when they did, boy did they get it right!

Japan lost the war bc they did keep coming they would gotten all the resources they needed.

I wonder why the American torpedo's worked at Battle of Coral Sea. That battle proceeded the Midway battle.

This man was so lucky, no way he didn't get hooked on Pachinko when he got home for refueling.

War sucks, let’s not do this anymore if we can avoid it.

I would argue the Kernstown was not a loss but a tactical draw. 1. Once Jackson realize the mistake he made which was almost immediately, he adjusted his plan and was able to get a better position that forced the union into an offensive position. 2. He created several feints on the field making the union believe there were more men that there really was. So the union never amassed their forces for a decisive blow. 3. He withdrew from the field on his accord. He realized the union had amassed for a final assault and he understood that his men had expended all of their ammunition. He had two brigades in reserve, but knew they weren’t enough to withstand the final assault. 4. The union took massive casualties compared to Jackson. Jackson casualty count grew only after giving up the high ground on the withdrawal, but still over all the union casualties were way higher than the confederacy.

This battle probably more than any other told the yanks they were not invincible and their attitude was wrong. I am astounded that the American Radar which must have been on more than 2 ships did not raise questions of who the Japanese were

What's hilarious is the US had NO intention of fighting the Japanese even if they'd gone ahead with all the other attacks. One of the greatest strategic blunders of WWII, right up there with Hitler ordering Heinz Guderian to stop rather than pursue the British into Dunkirk and destroy them before they could escape, and the US deciding to island hop instead of blockading and attacking the mainland directly after Midway.

Just finished watching this series. Excellent work here. The helpful graphics, the measured and balanced retelling, the sharp analysis. Maybe the best I’ve seen on Midway.

TIL the US uses to have Mutual Broadcasting Ststem (MBS)

Been years since I've watched these. Still sharing.

Who else just accidentally spent 40 minutes on the toilet watching this video? That time flew by and now I can’t feel my legs 😂

One of Napoleon’s hero in military school was Eugene of Savoy that dude had some legendary battles

Top notch gear. Get more product out and earn some bread pls

It's very hard to fault Fletcher for the failure at Wake. Nimitz, in overall command, canceled the mission (for good reasons}. It is a good what-if scenario to think about what might have happened if the two carriers had kept on to Wake. There were Japanese carriers on route, but not there yet. Might have been pretty messy for the Japanese.

Wouuu, unbelievable

I recently learned of a story regarding West Virginia. 3 sailors were trapped in two compartments underwater for approximately 16 days. They eventually died from oxygen deprivation.

Says most devastating while Ark Royal and Taiho sit quietly.

FLETCHER!!!!!!

Decisive battle but ijn did not go all in

Fantastic Chanel thank you 🙏

Most devastating torpedo spread in history, Sank a fleet carrier, put one of the few fast battleships out of action for months and sank a destroyer. All in the most critical time of the most critical year of the Pacific War.

Common Japanese L

Your simply awesome at this Sir!

In contrast to our capacities during WW2, the sad fact the USA has given up the backbone of our industrial might. We allowed our steel plants and heavy manufacturing to die off. The globalization has shifted much of the world's manufacturing capacity away from America. If we were ever needing to wage a full blown war again, we can't rely on our own supplies and capabilities.

How is only having a victory with a sucker punch then running like a bitch in the night because you’ve lost too many ships to fight in the day sea dominance?

Japan lost the war.

Imagine thinkint the US would surrender if you destroyed all their boats. Ok buddy. Calm doen there buddy. Lol

When you said the two ship also got hit i was screaming noooooo wtf on the road

He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day.

No he is bias toward the japanese..and his conclusions are wrong

There is no doubt Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Ernest King was looking for any excuse to sack Admiral Frank Fletcher even before the commencement of the naval engagements north of the Solomon Islands. I read somewhere that King was not happy with Fletcher’s turning over tactical command to Admiral Ray Spruance in the closing hours of the Battle of Midway. Once you were on King’s shit list, you weren’t coming off. Frank Jack Fletcher got a raw deal from the Naval HQ in Washington. On the other hand, Admiral William Halsey, while in commmand after Admiral Gormley was relieved, performed outstandingly in 1942 and into 43, he was very mediocre and went on to commit a number of avoidable mistakes in 1944-45. But unlike Fletcher, they promoted Halsey with a very rare fifth Fleet Admiral star. That’s after getting approximately 800 sailors killed in the avoidable surface action off the Philippines and later driving his fleet into two typhoons in which three ships went down and approximately 1100 sailors drowned. So why the double standard with the two admirals? ( Public Relations!)

japs mog yanks any day

Wunderbar! Danke mein herr.

Now I know the origin of “we just gonna wing it” come from

watched all your videox on ww2 they're really good man hope you keep it up

“Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.”….. Ummmmm……no. Opportunity is when PREPARATION meets LUCK. Meaning, you can prepare so much to take advantage of an opportunity, but a measure of luck is required for a successful outcome.

Nice as the video is, it is more AI generated junk. Notice how the computer narrator pronounces a ship's bow as "bow" like "bow" and arrow. I am sick of computers making content on yt.

Excellent tha`nkyou

After coordinated confrontations At 9:41, at 12:00, at 13:28, Nagumo had to know the ambush plan had failed as planned and that Americans were prepared to fight. Problem is he kept pressing on at great cost of human lives and ultimately resulted in a suicidal attack and his own death in later ambush by American. This is a great video that shows how Japanese imperialist value human lives like dirt..

ez against

As a Japanese person, these series were painful to watch 🥲 In today's Japan, Yamamoto is known as a tragic great general who was assassinated, and Nagumo is known as incompetent. However, looking back at Operation MI itself, there were operational flaws such as insufficient reconnaissance and too few aircraft carriers despite the complex mission of attacking Midway base and enemy aircraft carriers at the same time. They should have included the escort aircraft carriers of Operation AL from the beginning! Despite this fatal failure, the results were hidden from the public, and Yamamoto and Nagumo were retained in their posts. The phrase "history is written by the winners" is often used, but I believe that the losers sometimes twist history to suit their own convenience. Sadly, the Japanese people have yet to face this fact.👹

Watching over a thousand men die in a second is petrifying

What a well made video. Your command of graphics, callouts and text boxes is fantastic. Must be a laborious process to edit. Good work!
