the real hero was Pappy Gunn, who made the gun platforms in the nose of the medium bombers. The skip bombs were deadly, striking the ships at the water line. The Japanese almost never had a chance. This was one of the greatest victory of the war. I thought 15,000 troops were sent. 850 reached Lae.
Yeah, damned right! The only ones even better at slaughtering POWs and civilians were the axis powers. Geez.
The essence of waging war is not to be nice to your enemy, but to do what ever it takes to win. If that includes gunning down enemy soldiers in life boats, so be it. If you'd rather let them get away so they can fight another day and kill more of your comrades in the process, you've probably sort of misunderstood the whole point of being at war.
@PogusDoegus08 parachutted guys were machinegunned alot during the war by both sides, so far i've seen amerikans bulleting shipwrecked soldiers in recordings, war is a dirty game, shit happens, crying about it is shitty anmd cowardly thing.
I feel sorry for the soldiers on both sides. Wars sometimes have to be fought but it's rarely the fualt of the young soldiers (mostly from poor familys)on the ground. Remember the ones that were dieying here had little choice in their situation or in the actions of Imperial Japan.
NewZealand?,North and South America?, at Hawaii?,at many of Islands of Caribbean Sea?,
why does people live in IIndia, Pakistan, Inndonesian,Malyasian,Chinese who live in Hong Kong ,New-Karedonian ,a lot of African speak Europian Language ?.
Your full of shit, China was Chinese, Korea was korean, you little land bandits tried your luck with anywhere you could.
The Japanese treatment of the conquered territories and peoples was a disgrace that no uninformed argument can hold up against . fact is when the worm turned the Japs got mallated, my favourite is the Beaufighters and Marauders strafing the life boats full of Jap soldiers,
The Soviet Union, but losses the Red Army lost 13 million civilians, destroyed by the Nazis. Therefore we do not single out the Holocaust alone, although the majority of the 6 million were citizens of the USSR, as need to remember all those killed. If a western European Jews were taken to Auschwitz, then we have them buried alive, and the Russian or the Belarusians were shot or burned, along with the houses.
Double-crosser refers to how japan had an envoy in washington pretending to keep pease with the u.s.a. while their navy was hours from bombing Pearl Harbour - so ? cruise for it, you'll get it - and oh how they got it!!! (ee-hah! watch the varmints run, great moving targets!!!!!! lol.
Japs continue to lie and attempt to rewrite history...When will those False History books be burned? Have you read all about the march to Nanking ?Despicable...lest it ever be forgotten !

The fact of the Japanese ultra massacre that uses B-29 by the United States in the United States used by Shokaiseki and Mao Zedong of the terror cell in China is justified when the United States was about to increase American rights in China, and the story of GHQ to justify the act that started increasing American rights in a Chinese continent.
For Japan having taken Manchurian area from Russia, U.S.A. envies Japan to prevent aggression of Russia in Japan because Japan protects an own country, and, in U.S.A., U.S.A. which performed an economic blockade in Japan is famous as Cordell Hull notebook while knowing that Japan bought oil for U.S.A. from U.S.A. while threatening all military power from China in Japan when I withdraw.
Caucasian, Russia invaded Manchurian area, and the Korean Peninsula was just before the fall, too, and Japan fought against former China dynasty / 清 and Russia, and Japan prevented East Asia occupation by Russia somehow.
U.K. and Germany and Portugal invaded former China dynasty. As a result, U.S.A. which was late for right acquisition in China complained to each European country and Japan.
war is sad yet required! it's a natural thing of probably every living animal on the planet. from a lion protecting his pride on the pains of africa to your little dog barking to protect his back yard and owner. over population will cause many more brutal wars. the worst will be when resourses run in short supply!
OIL will bring the biggest war ever. i find all this footage amazing, u-boats 166 and 171 were sneaky little bastards.. check them out. the dirt side of wars!!
Skin the tiny yellow ... well mate now the japs are making a mockery of US automobile industry.And the fat ass Americans nowadays cannot live without a Sushi bar close to where they live. You tell me who are the double talkers.

I know people who survived Auchwitz...I've talked to them...
First learn something about history... then try to speak with some of people that lived that time... watch some documents... than you can talk about that.
Ahem... the Evil nazi reich actually created an infrastructure with the sole purpose of killing innocent people. Is that evil? Is it morally equivalent to shooting troops in uniform in lifeboats, when ther eno possibility of capturing them?
Yes stop taking the Hollywood view,war is not fought under the Marquess of Queensberry rules - the soldiers in the life rafts were fair game they had not surrended and if they had reached safety they would have waged war on them.
My father was an RAAF wireless Air Gunner who flew in USAAF B25s in this battle - awarded a DFC in fact for it .
He had commented that he would have expected the same if he was shot down - it was War - you take the opportunity to inflict damage on the enemy.
Please show us where there is any proof of Christians killed in Nagasaki. I have never heard that, and instead know that even Japanese who wanted peace were slaughtered by the authority of the war council.
It seems that at the end of the film, escaping small boats were attaked.
This is almost the same as killing of the surrendered soldiers. The killing of them is violation of the war law.
Another form of the war crime committed by the US and Australian army.
In 1942, Japanese war ship (IKAZUCHI) saved the survivors of the UK war ship which it sunk out of humanitarian motivation. There is no such a noble mind on the US side.
My Grandfather was with the 2nd 9th Aus batallion at Milne Bay and fought the Japs back off No. 3 strip at Milne Bay. He still has shrapnal and bullet holes in him from the ordeal. Wonderfull Vid! Keep them coming please!
My Dad was an aide to General Adachi- General of the Japanese 18th army, when his transport was sunk during this battle. Shipwrecked on the open sea for almost one week before a Japanese cruiser picked him up and transported the Japanese staff to Rabaul. My father's still alive, and can laugh about this horrific incident- for the Japs, that is. Thanks for uploading this.
My father was in the 5th Air Force, 3rd Bomb Group, 89th Squadron known as "The Grim REapers". The 89th was a part of this battle. It is so very important to keep this information available for all to learn what happened back then! Thank you! Excellent Video!

is the same God if they burned 6.000.000 people (citizens of Poland where 3.000.000 of them were jews) at Auschwitz-Birkenau?
Is there anywhere in the Bible written that Polish people or jews (also citizens of Poland) are not worthy to live?
There was nothing in Nazi-German country and people deeds that could be associated with the God.
