  • USMC, Sempre Fi!!!

  • From then on any GIs who have doubts about any Japs surrendering open fire, and even bayonet or shoot to the head any Jap soldiers asking for help or looking wounded. You cannot blame the GIs, these Japs brought this to themselves.

  • The Japanese Imperial army at that time were trained to be brutal. They were commanded not to surrender and to even deceive their enemies that they are surrendering while carrying a grenade to blow up themselves and everybody else around them. They were also commanded to fake injury so that when American medics or soldiers try to help them, they will then strike out with their hidden weapon.

    The American GIs, seeing multiple cases of this kind of treachery, adjusted to Jap soldiers' barbarity.

  • u need higher quality, but good upload thanks

  • the first gound battle was'nt Makin Atoll, but the phillipines, and USA lost it...

  • @spacesoviet59 The USA forces in Philippines at that time lost all their air support when Japs bombed the airfields. Japanese invading forces also have at that time more superior firepower. THE USAFFE forces were outgunned and encircled. After weeks of brutal fighting in the jungles and mountains, suffering from hunger, disease and dwindling ammunitions, the US and Filipino defenders surrendered. If they knew what the Japs will do to them they will probably choose to fight to the death.

  • The USMC was in no hurry to ditch the 1903 for the M1 Garand.

  • Japanese people were very lucky because the American doesnt have mentality like Japs to slave the people of the country they invaded.

    The Japs ruined the Philippines and its people before they surrendered.

    The American never did slave Japanese people when Japan was totally defeated.

  • @mannie71170 Well we kinda learned our lesson with slavery in the civil war buddy

  • @mannie71170 But Japan never threw two atomic bombs on anyone! Is it really that they are worse than the United States?

  • @helcio1960 If you have to choose of your death..what will you choose? ATOMIC bomb of Americans? or Beheaded by Sword by a JApanese? I will prefer Atomic bomb..less pain..The Japanese were Beheading thier POWs.. that was recorded.

  • @mannie71170 You're joking when he says that the death of the Japanese atomic bomb was hit by fast. Thousands died in agony, burned by radiation, drinking the "water" of the black rain that followed. Then came the genetic deformities. You really are a joker.

  • the M1 helped win the war...id hate to have the jap weapons...they had junk to fight with.

  • @MAKER6450 no early on they had good quality weapons the arisaka T38 and T99.wich had the strongest actions of both world warsthey had some fine machine guns.the poblem was they were all chambered for a different cartrige.so they had about 5 or 6 diferent caliber weapons in every squad.

  • @akdude182 Im not an expert with guns so im wont pretend to know much

    but from what iv heard in docos is that thier rifles were very old.

    Didnt the T38 have a very small round?

    They had the chance to up-grade thier rifle but stuck to the old one....wich was bad IMO.

    having all that different size ammo was stupid....would of been almost imposible to keep up supply when cut off.

    We aussies used the 303 rifle a Bren machine gun.

  • @MAKER6450 the T38 was chambered for the rather small 6.5x50sr cartrige,but becase of the strong action they could load the ammunition to very high pressures.this probobly would have worked but they tried to switch to the 7.7x58mm cartrige mid-war wich caused a lugistical nightmare.but overall up untill mid 1943 their weapons were quality weapons.and the 7.7x58 was based off the .303,theyjust lengthend the neck a little and removed the rim

  • W l'america, morte ai musigialli!!!

  • If u challenge the U.S. military you will get a boot in the ass and a bullet in the chest!

  • Aussies did go through he'll, I'll give you that-but if it was a historical Aussie film to begin with you might not hear about the Americans at all. Our interpretation of our own history, no offense....

  • When did the USMC get the M-1 Garand?

    They had bolt-action rifles for some time before getting the M-1.

    I'm not looking for an argument, simply asking a question ;-)

  • @cuimhnichbasalpin The USMC started using the M-1 Garand when those jap bastards atacked pearl harbor and the ARMY was already in Germany and France using it

  • @hoothoot800 that is so false u dum piece of shit the US didnt invade france or germany until 44 45!

  • @hoothoot800 u are a moron 1 marines are way better then army 2 in 1944 we invaded france and in 45 germany 3 u are a stuipd moron

  • @cuimhnichbasalpin

    Most of the marines were using the 1903 Springfield around the time of Guadalcanal but I am guessing the Raiders got it earlier because they were commandos. The USMC got the M-1 Garand at the end of Guadalcanal though. Remember, I am just guessing that the Raiders got the M-1 Garand a little bit earlier than the rest of the USMC because they are commandos, but I am not exactly sure.

  • @TheAGSproductions Thanks. Them being Raiders it makes sense.

    Thanks for taking the time to answer.

  • @TheAGSproductions

    Raiders had 1903s during the time of the raid on Bougainville, they didnt get the M1s any earlier, that was made up for in SMGs tough

  • shit man, this pure terror

  • Pity we Aussies arn't mentioned much.

  • Wow Makin Atoll actually exists.

  • @runescp0wn123

    yes it does exist . if you do not believe go to a public and look for battles of pacific .

  • Fucking Japs

    God bless the atomic bomb. They should have kept dropping them till they incinerated every last stinking Dink body.

    Fucking savages.

  • @jessicafischerqueen You Are right!!! Fucking Japs, God bless the atomic bomb.(these atomic bombs saved A LOT of Americans)

  • @jessicafischerqueen Wow that doesn't make you as bad as them does it?get over it happened years ago and lots of civilians died on both sides but don't put everyone in the same basket. besides allies were guilty of bad stuff as well. i'm just saying.War is brutal and unfair and a minority do bad things but that doesn't define a country as all the same. That's just simply a narroe minded way of thinking

  • @jessicafischerqueen

    Throw the first stone as it was said.

  • They act like war is a game...

  • Supposedly the way to pronounce "Garand" is so that it rhymes with "errand". Just incase anyone was wondering.

  • Its pronounced like that..

    Unless your american.

    Lol, sorry for dramaticness but i think you will find that there is no perfect way to pronounce things, and that your mother tongue will not always be like another's mother tongue.. like how most americans call scottish people "scattish" despite being told repeatedly how stupid they sound

  • @Pawnbroker00: I know, just saying. I have been trying to convince most people that it rhymes with "errand" but for some reason they refuse.

  • I always thought his name was John Canthius Garand not shure how to spell his name though

  • m1 garand never knew it was made by a canadian john m garand plz correct me on the name

  • he was a native Canadian but when he made it he had become a naturalized American

  • oorah.

  • Re things militaristic, lessons learned are usually negative ones, i.e., someone died for no good reason and to no good purpose and so let us find out what went wrong so that such won't happen again. The Makin raid is one such lesson and was never repeated during that war. And some paid for their sin, and so not only Makin but also Tarawa was hardened, which wasn't a good thing when some came a calling later, as the hardening only served to increase the number of dead on both sides.

  • HISTORY CHANNEL KICK ASS IN SHOWS!

    but when they realese a video game...

    lot of them didnt LIKE IT!!

    i also got this game but still not yet installed it...

    but i like history so im sure im kinda like it!

    specialy when history of the pacific

  • I got the history channel game for x box 360 but , well it wasn't good at all. A real half asked job ya know.

  • yeah a half job maybe just show some new game and try to the make a player experience the show on a game

  • Couldn't agree any more, sad freeking game, thought it would be better, only good thing about the game is the Graphics, the AI was miserable, where they spawned and just came out from nowhere was also a bummer, and the hit detection wouldn't register the hits most of the time, 5 hits from an M1 to kill the enemy. I heard the 2nd part to the Civil War game was OK, which is a serious upgrade from Terrible if ya know what I mean.

  • @utoylapuk history channel should pay like infinity ward to make a game for them

  • I Agree.... i bought "the pacific" Game... and it sucked.....

  • @utoylapuk what?

  • @utoylapuk ya but their civil war games suck but agree their shows are the best

  • the begining is wrong we were not under threat we overthrough the balance in ww1 eventually europe would have calmed down in stalingrad neither side was wining and they would have given up we didnt have to start ww2 it made a place for hitler to come

  • This is such propaganda...

  • hey does anybody know what those black marine raider uniforms were called, i cant find them on google, just wondering what they're called.

  • i think they were just the HBT fatigues or maybe they also inked them black

  • Australian Army was the first to beat the Japanese in a ground battle in Papa New Guinea before the Marines had. No quarter given fighting after finding they had killed our wounded. General MCarthur's troops in Papa New Guinea were next to useless. Much of our jungle training was from what was learnt fighting the Japs.

  • yup, have to give australia props, but i wouldnt call macarthurs boys useless

  • Not overall of course, only the troops that were in papa New Guinea. The commanding officer was some politicians son who was just there to get combat service but had little skill in leading men in combat. Unfortunately Australia was pressured by Macathur to move forward to time schedules that meant they had little time for proper recon of Jap positions resulting in thousands of deaths that couldve been avoided. Our own General Blamey sacrafised troops to appease macarthur.

  • yes but mcaurthurs army was not useless lol

  • Makin Atoll...hmmm...let me remember of CoD5...its was only the begining of hell

  • its not called type 99 its acctualy an italian invention and that gun was introduced pre world war 2

  • the Japanese are using the wrong rifle the Type 99 they are carying wasnt indtrodouced until later in the war.

    they should be using the Type 38 rifle

  • ..................

  • the atomic bomb was an alternative to an invasion that would cost the lives of over 10 million japanese. we did the right thing

  • nah never dropping a atom bomb on a helpless city killing millions is the right thing

  • you clearly didnt read a word i said, the atom bomb killed around 200,000 grand total of both citys, and invasion would have killed countless millions.but never mind that, im sure you know how to fight a war so much better than Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower (sp)

  • Sir, please shut up and do some research. Neither the Uranium Gun nor Plutonium Fission bombs killed 'millions.' They killed many people, yes. But guess what, more than twice as many people died in Tokyo in the earlier weeks, killed by, you guessed it, conventional bombs.

    The Japanese refused to surrender, and were going to fight to the death of every last man, woman and child. Even when the Emperor, a man revered by them as god, tried to surrender, the military tried to revolt and continue

  • you're really comparing bombing runs to the likes of the rape of nanking?

  • Bombing runs that burned and suffocated thousands. Emptied entire cities that had no war purpose. Just mass civilian killings. Yes, i am comparing them

  • if the Japanese and Nazis, didn't start shit, then we wouldn't have bombed them. they should have just lived their lives instead of trying to conquer countries.

  • A few points. First, any civilization must deal with scarcity. It is a fact of life, that there are finite resources. To assure one's groups survival, there MUST be strife over who has what. Water, food, land, oil, EVERYTHING has multiple parties who desire it, and therefore fighting for it. Therefore, by trying to say "they should have just lived out their lives" you claim that we have a right to the resources we were hoarding and keeping from them. That we are their betters. Have you no shame?

  • You completely twisted my words. Would you rather have me say this? "Those small-penis squinty-eyed Japs deserved to get smothered and burned out. We should have done worse. It's nothing more than they deserved for destroying other nations and attacking us!" Would you have wanted me to say that? I NEVER said that we were their betters. I said that if they lived their lives and we lived our lives sensibly without hurting eachother then there wouldn't have been such a huge mess.

  • They couldn't have just lived their lives because we were imposing embargoes on them in the first place! That was my whole point. The Japanese were forced to act, if they hadn't they would have lost their dream of being a modern industrial power. Their hands were forced by America. I agree that if we could've shared our resources sensibly there wouldnt have been such a terrible war, but sadly that just didnt happen.

  • Do you have any idea why we imposed embargoes on them? Pearl Harbor was not their first offense, you know that right?

  • Of course i know that! They were expanding into China and had Manchuria. The Japanese people believed that if the Chinese couldnt defend their land then they didnt have a right to it, and took what they could. The embargoes were put in place due to that. But since every industrial nation expands through conquering, and given the Japanese aspirations to be a power to rival the West, we can understand why they did what they did, and perhaps even admire it

  • hey asshole, firstly there wouldn't even be no god damn war if Germany and Japan didn't invade other countries. Like look what happen to your 'friends' Fudgey, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Berlin were all leveld to the ground. Those countries lost millions of soldiers and 100,000 of civilians each. All because they wanted to expand their borders. Their country paid the ultimate price for the wrong cause. You didn't even mention what Hitler did to the Jews now did you.

  • So expanding borders is the wrong cause?? Then every country in the world is guilty of that because EVERY COUNTRY at some point has expanded its borders by forcing others out, its just a fact of life! Look at Spain or England or the US. All rule or ruled huge portions of the world through expansion. Germany and Japan were just doing the same thing; perhaps at the wrong time.They paid that death price because they failed, just like the American Indian paid the price of failure

  • ANd what hitler did to the Jews... That had nothing to do with his countries expansion, that was a personal obsession that got in the way and contributed to his defeat. He could've used those Jews on the front lines, but Hitler had serious mental issues as we all know. But that doesnt mean that the expansion of Germany was necessarily an EVIL enterprise

  • Jews weren't really good at fighting on the front line lol, there were lot of Jews at USSR, few of them ever went front line lol

  • Yes I do get your point. Almost every country on Earth, the ones with the power, have invaded another country. But Germany and Japan's brutality is unquestionable. At least Germany have admitted themselves as being wrong. But to this day I think many Japanese still believe that it was their 'right' to invade and take over other people's country. I also don't believe dropping nuclear bombs on Japan was a wrong thing.

  • I believe that Japan's refusal to acknowledge their past misdeeds is because they see themselves as the country who help to begin the decolonization of countries under foregin power rule.

  • If America didn't drop those bombs, they would have had to launch an invasion. And we all know what Japanese soldiers were like. They would have fought to the last man, women and child with sticks and stones if they have to. They would rather order their people to commit suicide then surrender. So you could say those bombs may of saved Japan from total destruction as well as saving hundreds of thousands of American lives.

  • We can say that now, but back then it was much less apparent. Japan was supposedly on the verge of surrendering anyway; we didnt have to drop the bombs. Heck, what if we'd just stopped attacking and let Japan sit there? Its not like they could have expanded anymore

  • it really is an awesome show, but they never play the ww2 ones anymore. and its too bad Worldwartwotreasure cant get a view in high quality thing for this vid series,
