I'm starting to get annoyed with the "rare wwii color footage" label. There are tens of thousands of hours of this stuff all over the web, it isn't hard to find, it hardly seems "rare" any more.
U.Barschel,J.Möllemann,Heiner Gehring(author),M.Pflock(political activist),Tron(internet activist),Karl Koch(political/internet activist),Bernd Seiffert(human rights activist),Kirsten Heisig(author/judge),Fritz Bauer(persecutor Frankfurt Auschwitz processes).My brother Markus Bott was tortured 5.5 years by the German BND.I have recorded 450 h on video which ended in the legal system.He then was tortured 1.5 years under the "protection" of the "legal system“
My grandfather was a pilot on the USS Saratoga CV-3 during WWII. He was in Night Air Group 53. He flew Hellcats and Avengers at night over Iwo Jima. I'm not 100% sure but I think the actor Robert Stack was also in CVG (N) 53. You can tell the Saratoga by the stripe on its funnel, hence the nickname "Stripe Stacked Sara." After the Kamikaze attack on the Saratoga my grandfather was moved to the USS Kula Gulf. My grandfather passed away in 1989. He was a hero to me and to America.
My Dad and my uncles were all aviators during the war. Only one in the Navy was an uncle. Graduated Annapolis in the 30's. Flew a variety of fighters off carriers in the Pacific. Had 4 carriers sunk under him. After the War he was a test pilot. Flew one of the first instrument planes through the cloud at the atomic test at Bikini. Test pilot on B-36 and B-52. One of the chief designers of the F-111. Survived 2 coronary by passes. Lived into his 90's. He was the finest gentleman I have ever known
I like seeing comments of people who defend their grand fathers and family members and their actions/choices and how they "fought" for their country. Not because they are correct or incorrect. But rather because they cannot accept they might be wrong.
this si so fuckin fake how do u ppl really beleive this bulls** .... this country really went to hell when the muslim be came president wtf is wrong with americans now i am PROUD tobe one of the few who will still defend my county againsyt the haters and bulls**ers GOD IS ON ARE SIDE BELEIVE ME!!!
@twoule corrections needed sir "believe", "became" to be", "against",bullshitters", god is on our side believe me" well he may be on our side, but grammar is not on yours. good day sir =)
Well, I´m desperately trying to put on a musical in my city, Florianópolis - south Brazil, using the war theme through the angle of the radio musical programmes. I'm phocusing London BBC Radio, Rio de Janeiro Radio Nacional and a local radio at the time Rádio Guarujá de Florianópolis. Money to back it up is the problem.
I hope to make this dream come true someday.
See the video: Sérgio Lima e Silva - "Tempos de Guerra e Paz" about it.
What kind of ammunition are they using to strafe the Japanese ships? It's amazing to see large ships being completely blown up by these bullets (or perhaps bullet isn't the right word for it -- sorry, I'm not a munitions expert). When this happens (ship exploding), is it from hitting the ship's fuel tanks, or its ammunition store?
@TroyOi Good old 50 caliber. When you see them loading the bullets into belts, the colored slugs are tracer rounds. The streaks of light you can see. An explosion can come from these rounds striking a gun magazine or fuel, either one. Pretty awesome shit, huh?
@kreepeemann Very much so. I don't recall any Hollywood WWII movie having such dramatic scenes -- ie, bullets wreaking havoc on big ships. Sometimes reality beats fiction. Are you referring to the scene at 2:15? Looks like every other bullet is a tracer. Perhaps u can answer a question: Did tracers always have the exact same trajectories as non-tracer bullets? I can see how there could be differences in weight & external forces acting on them. If so, tho, that would kinda defeat their purpose.
@TroyOi Tracers just had a powdered coating that burns off. Doesn't really affect the bullet. Read Saburo Sakai's book Samurai. Awesome telling of the pacific campaign through the other guys eyes.
I want to share this with FB, but the Bull crap that is added with thousands of words about jealousy and ridiculous spewing kept me from it. WTF? Can someone get that junk off about how much you eat, how much I eat and the elephant. who the hell cares about that. You are messing up a great video.

yeah... "this great country of america" ... you know... the world is in pretty bad shape because the americans are pretty much controlling it, dont ask "how" its in bad shape... all i have to say is "financial crisis" .. and thats just 1 argument.. theres alot more to choose from. oh yeah, germany is 10x better at inventing technology, so you guys just might have set us back 50 years of evolving because you had to be "the good guys" why chouldnt you just let the jews get what was coming to them?
Comments made by such simple minds, settling the most complex of issues, but only in their own mind,... fortunately. "There will be wars, and rumors of Wars".
Moronic statement: asking God to bless the men while cursing the one who leads the men in the same breath... stating what he "probably" does. There's nothing biblical about cursing your Commander in Chief, whether you like him or not.
In this war our enemy was clearly defined in this arena This danger still exists today but we are unable to recognize the enemy because of our "Global world" and "political correctness". Tthere is a time when some people will have to "suffer" the indignities of War. Remember people are still dying in this NON war we are engaged in today.
These brave men were buried at sea with honors, because there is no way to store bodies on ships. The Pacific war was hot and humid, so dead bodies decompose quickly. As far as the men buried at sea becoming shark food, PLEEESE !!!! The men are wrapped in cloth with metal plates, that cause them to sink to the bottom of the ocean. If you're in the Navy or USMC, it's considered an honor to be buried at sea, like many people do with having their ashes scattered in the ocean.
@Imskyhigh87 you're an idiot. 1. you are dead, no matter if its worm, shark, or crab...when you die your somebodies food. 2. why not ask a marine or navy officer how they feel about it as opposed to how YOU feel about it. You might be surprised by the answer. 3. luckily, because of those people whose deaths are a horrible part of war, you have that right and ability to rest next to your family for an eternity. Other lesser countries would just cremate you and toss you in a land fill.
@Imskyhigh87 you did show ungratefulness, as opposed to asking why do they dump the bodies overboard, you popped off about how "unamerican" it is without a clue. No, I never said weren't for me, I said for them. I'm not in the military. As far as simpleminded, well, I am not the one disgusted with a sanitary and honorable action of the 40's and using it as a basis for giving up on the navy. By calling their actions "unamerican" you don't have any military brothers; I daresay any friends period.
@Imskyhigh87 Is it bliss, you should know? I can see other viewpoints just fine. However, you even admitted, your viewpoints were WRONG! You made American bashing hate filled comments based on something you had no clue as to the reason, you just ASSUMED the worst case. It is typically the people who shot closed mindedness that are in fact closed minded. I don't share you're viewpoint, so I am a piece of shit. You said it NOW makes sense to you, meaning you shot off on something you haven't got
@LAjackandbecky a clue about and you are mad that you were called out.Get over yourself. Listen. I am going to help you. Yes, you have a small dick. Yes, you girlfriend is a whore and cheating on you. Yes, you mother really was a whore and I could be your father. No, it won't go away, you caught it from your whore gf and you need to go see a doctor. And finally Yes, sticking that in your ass does make you a faggot. Now, all of your questions about what is wrong in your life are answered. move on
Hope all this great military effort isn't for naught as we are being invaded from our southern border with the ok of bought and paid for fascist corporate flunky politiciians at the top. The traitor Bush gangsters sold our ass to the Chinese while Mexico invades from the south. I would like to see this kind of awesome military might exercised on restoring the Mexican border. But corporate America and their henchman won't allow as the dollar turns into the peso.
@tobycat11 - you can't blame the Bushes for China owning us, that goes to Nixon and all the administrations after his for selling out to China. I started noticing all the "Made in China" tags about the time of Jimmy Carter, and blamed him. Maybe we can blame him for not stopping it, but I don't think he would have.
Actually, it was the Army Air Corps. My grandfather was in and served with Doolittle over the Burma Hump, and i have all his memorabilia. There will never be a generation as great as a whole as they were then. Absolute courage, integrity, ingenuity, and resolve.
@daughteroftheAmerRev Never sell or donate that stuff, after working in a museum and a Library that while donations are appreciated so much gets lost in the shuffle. Just loan it to libraries and imbue a sense of respect and honor in your children. I cherish my grandfathers possessions, an airman in the 5th Air Force.
im not a navy guy, i love the usaf, but i do give the navy alot of respect w/ their carriers during wwii. read the story about the intrepid by bill white, u will learn so much!
Great film! I agree - the term "Allied" then and today is meant to appease the few kernels that "contribute" in comparison. No need for apology - it continues to be the truth even as of this writing all over the globe!
Please visit the U.S.S. Hornet located in Alameda, CA. This aircraft carrier turned museum is a testiment to this video and is in very hard financial times. They need your donations to keep this valuable musuem open so we can appreciate what these valiant men went through. Or visit the U.S.S. Midway in San Diego, CA.

Great video & a stirring tribute to our great WWII U. S. Navy & those who served; part of what is truly "The Greatest Generation"! Only "nit-picky" comment I have is with the narrator of this who consistently speaks of "the allies", "allied forces", etc. I don't see any "allied" ships, planes, or men in this production, I see the GREAT United States Navy! God Bless 'Em & RIP all those who gave their lives! Semper Fi!
so the english dont mean Shit to you i guess. that figures. just remember who it is beside your lads in the gulf at the moment. and i dont mean the french
@inagrump, I certainly meant no disrespect at all towards the UK or any "allies". I simply pointed out the truth of the narration of this video. I appreciate the efforts (& sacrifices) of all the allies during WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and now Afghanistan. I apologize if you found my statement(s) offensive, such was not my intent. I was simply stating FACT about this particular video.
M&Ms were made in WW2 so the soldiers there could enjoy the taste of chocalate without having it stick to your skin. Now it kinda pisses me off that they have them with faces talking and ext. I just wish people knew where they originally came from so that people would know that it was only ruined when it hit media.
I was in the Navy in Korean War. My brother and father were in WWII. My father, a Chief Boatswains Mate, was also in WWI. My uncle was gassed in WWi. His son was a pilot of B26's in WWII. My nephew just came back from Iraq. Politically we are all liberals willing to fight for our country. I never knew the politics of any one i served with. Is it possible that some of the guys in the 5 inch gun mount were conservatives? Think of yourselves as Americans - or can you?
You're a lying sack of sh! t too. Why do liberals feel they have to insert themselves into a world they don't have the guts to go? Typical libtard nazi @asswipe trying to spread mien kampf disinformation.
War is hell but some can't imagine what it's like to be out on the front lines fighting to keep America and its allies free knowing that there are those back home that do not support their efforts to keep their leftest ass' free. A real shame on these asinine sleeping in a warm clean bed. It was that way back in the 60's and still today we have those same idiot's offspring carrying on their parents crap. What a pity. Wake Up America.
No shit, liberals/progressives have NO clue. Not to mention they are THE most arrogant, pretentious, clueless and ungrateful to our fore fathers people we have ever in seen in America.
Just ask ANYBODY from Eastern Europe or southeast Asia that grew-up in communism, they will tell you how fucking stupid liberals from here are
@truthbetoldagain I don't think that all liberals are anti-American, it just seems that any time you hear a comment demeaning or blaming America for something, it's usually made by a liberal.
@kreepeemann Funny you should say that. Because every time I hear something ignorant, bigoted or unconstitutional, it always seems to come from the mouth of a conservative .
@ali4330 : It appears you have been indoctrinated by the liberal schools somewhere in the USA, to bad I love the history of this country and I spent three years as a soldier . I can tell you this it is where the men are separated from the boys . We enslaved no one , say what you want no one believes it . We have not taken one inch of ground from any one in another country, only to bury our dead.
@yourfriendandmine Either you pretending or you truly ignorance of the US oppressive policies to others.That is an ordinary americans weaknesses,You didnt want to know more beyond your country's border
US fire control and rescue operations were far superior than that of the Japanese. This is why the Japs had to resort to Kamikaze's, cause they ran out of good pilots while the US maintained it's core pilots. ..The difference between two civilizations..

We're into the 9th year of a war business racket. The World War 2 service men and women freed enslaved nations. We can't find Bush bud Bin Laden, hero of the bourgeoisie. We let him fly out of Konduz with his suite,
then pretend he was in Torah Borah (sure, in 1987!) We do big business every day with those who finance our troops' enemies. In this way you can have a perpetual conflict, the careerists' wet dream.
"Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum." (Those who would have peace must prepare for war.) A strong war-ready military capacity has a DETERRENT effect against those who might otherwise opt for military aggression. If England/France had had war-ready military capacity, Hitler might have stayed home; same for China/Korea/etc. vis-a-vis Japan. In short, counter-intuitive though it may seem to some, strong war-ready military preparedness is a deeply moral act and helps to minimize warfare.
As Dr. Laura recently said, there is a difference between murder and killing. Murder is the killing of innocents, a crime; whereas killing violent people, while always horrible, is something that, at times, cannot be avoided - say, for instance, when a person is about to kill innocent civilians. Soldiers and law enforcement people know how hateful killing is. They hate war and death, yet know that the alternative may be allowing death a free rein.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
killing people is nothing to be proud of. You can be proud of yourself when you helped somebody - not when your ancestors killed people - no matter what the reasons may have been
@Thecoolers07 oh jeez!!!! that's soo american!!! nobody would like to kill you if your country didn't mess with all the entire world. It is not personal man but your country does't respect anything
@Thecoolers07 Morons like that need to go to some Islamic country and serve as human shields to protect other muslims from the Islamikazis. Lets see how much balls they have then.
Hi....... My Dad passed quite awhile ago. He would have been in his mid nineties now. Like I said he was one of the original
crew. The Big T was one of the new Essex class carriers, commissioned in 1944. It was hit by a Kamikaze off the coast of Formosa, Jan. 1945. Ask your father in law, and thanks for the reply.
Our deepest condolences in the loss of your dad...as belated as they may be. It is with certaintly then they served together. He remembers the kamikaze and the profound loss of life, limb and friends. Reading your dad's name again to get it correct and will post again...to see if they knew each other.
thats pretty cool. i would love to have a family that was a part of history like this. i'd love to hear all the stories. haha yesss 1060 W. addison, finally someone knows what the 1060 stands for! hmmm and they need to get it in gear... take care!
Haha, you made me laugh, it's true, though! Hey maybe you can help me with something here, I found a video of some interview with a veteran who served in the Pacific, but I noticed something strange with the video... I'll link you soon, hang on.
This is a film that you cannot avoid. I'm humbled by their bravery. Just imagine the struggle. My deepest respect for them. For those who died: Requiscat in pace!

Hope all this great military effort isn't for naught as we are being invaded from our southern border with the ok of bought and paid for fascist corporate flunky politiciians at the top. The traitor Bush gangsters sold our ass to the Chinese while Mexico invades from the south. I would like to see this kind of awesome military might exercised on restoring the Mexican border. But corporate America and their henchman won't allow as the dollar turns into the peso.

@tobycat11 - you can't blame the Bushes for China owning us, that goes to Nixon and all the administrations after his for selling out to China. I started noticing all the "Made in China" tags about the time of Jimmy Carter, and blamed him. Maybe we can blame him for not stopping it, but I don't think he would have.

Actually, it was the Army Air Corps. My grandfather was in and served with Doolittle over the Burma Hump, and i have all his memorabilia. There will never be a generation as great as a whole as they were then. Absolute courage, integrity, ingenuity, and resolve.

@daughteroftheAmerRev Never sell or donate that stuff, after working in a museum and a Library that while donations are appreciated so much gets lost in the shuffle. Just loan it to libraries and imbue a sense of respect and honor in your children. I cherish my grandfathers possessions, an airman in the 5th Air Force.

Great video & a stirring tribute to our great WWII U. S. Navy & those who served; part of what is truly "The Greatest Generation"! Only "nit-picky" comment I have is with the narrator of this who consistently speaks of "the allies", "allied forces", etc. I don't see any "allied" ships, planes, or men in this production, I see the GREAT United States Navy! God Bless 'Em & RIP all those who gave their lives! Semper Fi!

My nephew just came back from Iraq. Politically we are all liberals willing to fight for our country. I never knew the politics of any one i served with.

We're into the 9th year of a war business racket. The World War 2 service men and women freed enslaved nations. We can't find Bush bud Bin Laden, hero of the bourgeoisie. We let him fly out of Konduz with his suite,
then pretend he was in Torah Borah (sure, in 1987!) We do big business every day with those who finance our troops' enemies. In this way you can have a perpetual conflict, the careerists' wet dream.

"Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum." (Those who would have peace must prepare for war.) A strong war-ready military capacity has a DETERRENT effect against those who might otherwise opt for military aggression. If England/France had had war-ready military capacity, Hitler might have stayed home; same for China/Korea/etc. vis-a-vis Japan. In short, counter-intuitive though it may seem to some, strong war-ready military preparedness is a deeply moral act and helps to minimize warfare.

As Dr. Laura recently said, there is a difference between murder and killing. Murder is the killing of innocents, a crime; whereas killing violent people, while always horrible, is something that, at times, cannot be avoided - say, for instance, when a person is about to kill innocent civilians. Soldiers and law enforcement people know how hateful killing is. They hate war and death, yet know that the alternative may be allowing death a free rein.
