  • United states can burn in hell!

  • It Is is raining planes!

  • fucken japs

  • Fuck the Axis, and fuck the Great Alliance.

    Why? Everyone did bad stuff. No one is immune from that. US nuked Japan, when there was absolutely no need to drop TWO A-BOMBS ON CITIES IN LESS THAN A WEEK.

    Imperial Japan fucked up, with massacres, mass rapes and murders. Fuck Showa Emperor too.

    Hitler was an idiot. Stalin is included too.

    And fuck Mussolini, I never heard that guy until I went to Wikipedia.

    So yeah. World War II was the most fucked up war in the human history. Nuff said.

  • @RKSudo aleast go back and read up on the russian mass rapes in germany too, everyone at that time was scum bags lol.

  • Fuck you USA...

  • @Jokili68 Correction : Fuck this Japanese Imperialists

  • Always wondered why some kamikaze pilots flew with a parachute on.

  • They were brave man ,and need to be respect, becuase they did not start the war, they just took order from the empire

  • @releasetaiwan

    No. The empire disagreed this war and this plane.

    Many people misinterpreted .

    The empire's system was established liike U.K

    So the empire's power was only to made an announcement that governmental opinion …、

    It is said that KAMIKAZE was admiral Onishi's plane.

    Please search that " Kamikaze, where is the truth? 真実はどこに・・・ "

  • to those ppl who try to defend for Japs, think why US fought Germany in WWII!

  • 2:08

    There was some money...Yea, whats the best thing to carry in a kamikaze mission ? Money

  • Thanks for putting the video here with the original background sounds,

    instead of any shitty musics.

    Actually, with the explosion sounds, it kinda becomes much more real.

    Just watch between 0.34-0.43... You will see.

    Oh by the way, what is the name of the aircraft carrier that was hit in 0.43 ?? Just curious.

    The ship must have totally frakked up... Probably sink over there...

  • Comment removed

  • 0:44 no they were not! they were brave...but it was a WASTE OF GREAT PILOTS.

  • idiots

  • @trentoboy260 do u even study ww2? or just swept up in bias patriotism? or just a cod idiot?

  • @fatsuburbanwhiteboy yes they were brave. but.... thats part of the reason why they had 17 yr olds and so forth doing it... at that stage in the war japan had already lost their aces aka great pilots in the battles of midway and so forth and they didnt have materials left to fight the war much longer..oil being the main one. to put it in a nutshell japan had their back to the wall at this point. the kamikaze was a last ditch effort to try and save japan, tho it was noble, it didnt work.

  • @MGoffer i know...it was out of desperation..... u know ur history well. thats very good.

  • "imperial ambition" was in us side then. after phill. and hawaii, apparently usa was a late-comer to next delicious stake restaurant named china and ate foods greedily, resulted in delivery of communist china. Japan just wanted national security from the threat of soviet communism(comintern international). everybody knows now about sorge esipionage in Japan at that time as an examle.

    please do not be so naive to believe silly propaganda by victor nations.

  • @1969winentice No, man, you dont know history! Japs were facing a economic crisis before WWII. they tried to confront the Russians but totally got beat up by russian armor division, so they turned south to invade China, why? cuz they need food!

  • @skyfrank

    maybe you don't know "Tungchow Mutiny"

  • @czlhaha

    maybe you only know histry in the textbook.

    they lived in china after Boxer Protocol like other countries. Tungchow Mutiny happened,but japan didn't want to war with china.

    so we allowed them. But they start many terrorism.

    many Japanese died. we allowed them many times.

    Finally china start Airstrike to Japanese civilian city in Beijing and Shanghai.

    So we understood them. and start war. Tungchow Mutiny happened before war.

  • @czlhaha

    ③Both US and UK demonstrated for USSR how dangerous 2 atomic bomb and they used for

    human's body. They need to know how influence for human's body as experimental.

    I have read many books and I studied 3 years about it.

    You do not have any right to talk about true histories without

    knowing Tungchow Mutiny/ July.29.1937 even.

    According to your theory, small countries cannot battle with big countries.

    Could you say for Asian countries and Africa countries?

  • @czlhaha

    ④These are small countries and they are independence now.

    I do not want to fight with you but I insist you should to get angry for

    both Chinese National Party and communists truly.

    How much they educated you as laying and incorrect information?

    And killed several hundred million Chinese civilians.

    Do you truly believe both Chinese National Party and communists?

  • @czlhaha

    ①Again, you misunderstood.

    I am not communist and same as Japan.

    Nazi was shit but they hated and oppression communism so much.

    Nazi did bad oppression for communism party.

    Do you know this common sense ?

    You must be a child maybe high school student?

    So many differences of point of view and misunderstood much.

    I was so surprised at the comments.

    Maybe your acknowledgment was before 1989's allies of world war II as old historical documentation.

  • @czlhaha

    ②Don' you know anything about so many new fact came up after lenin's

    (Vladimir Il'itch Lenin) Death 1924 and USSR was broken in 1989

    Of course these documentation came from allies of world war II

    These documentation were unfavorable for allies of world war II more than Japan's insist

    Why don't you go to both UK or US and study correct histories?

    I recommend you to study by yourself due to brainwashing now.

  • @czlhaha

    Again, you misunderstood.

    Germany never apology by own invasion. Just apology as THE HOLOCAUST only.

    I used to brainwashing but no more.

    I just corrected your incorrect statement that your have misunderstanding acknowledgments.

    Why don't you go to foreign countries if you think you have correct acknowledgments.

    Maybe you will find out the true fact before a week how you brainwashing by Chinese government.

  • @tsukasa4649ne ya~~ya~~~ya~~~~keep telling me go to foreign countries ~~~~u see only japanese agree with u, all other countries agree japan invaded other asia countries. Oh~~~one more thing, why don't u just ask Masajager to reply me? since he's doing all the translation for u. learn english before comment under a english video ok?

  • @czlhaha

    ①It seems you like to change a story a lot.

    There are record of Bandung Conference (Asian - African Conference) in 1955

    (Bandung Conference) These countries were colonies but now

    independent from UK and USSR and Dutch and France and others

    However they independence now because of Japan.

    Do you know this record ?

    

  • @czlhaha

    ②The conference was organized by Indonesia, Burma, Pakistan, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and India and was coordinated by Ruslan Abdulgani, secretary general of the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    Don't you think is what you say makes no sense?

    Truly I am not good at English and I do not use for a long time.

    It would take long time to write and I will make mistake even,

    However I will do my best as courtesy in order to avoid any miscommunication.

  • @czlhaha

    ③I would rather say you are more impolite when you change the topic and story

    when I ask you every point.

    Many Chinese in mainland China were brought to Singapore.

    UK occupied Singapore and UK was taken to many Chinese to Singapore for

    weakness of Ethnic Malays .

    Finally I will ask you some questions which Chinese general could not answer.

    Why do you insist only Japan must aplogy for world War II ?

  • @czlhaha

    ④If you insist only Japan must apology, why don't you say 10 times more

    both UK and USSR? Then it would be equal.

  • @tsukasa4649ne u are the one never answer a single question . if u insist japan helped those asia countries gain independence , go ask them what they feel about japan army, don't change topic anymore, just answer this question. if u cannot, haha~~~

  • Fucking american generals

  • Pathetic American propaganda, portraying the Kamikaze as hesitant, frightened and with no conviction. The most hilariously obvious part of the propaganda is near the end, about the kamikaze pilot that survived and has been "living in regret ever since", LMAO!

    God, when did American propaganda get so laughably bad and obvious? I remember a time when it went over everyone's head and evoked patriotism. They don't make bullshit like they used to.

  • Brave yes, sacrificed most certainly. As with all things in war it was the young who ended up having to forfeit everything. The generals, politicians and yes even members of the Imperial family who started the war got away with little to nil punishment, free to carry on their lives as if nothing had happened. Sickening isn’t it.

  • Kamikaze means ''The God's Wind'' Isn't that brainwashing?

  • 5. ''You're mean! Kamikazes are dead and respect them!'' Like I said in the first comment, I don't care if you think so. And no, I don't show respect for kamikazes, even if they are dead! And I'M NOT from America or GB I'm from Finland. (It's Norway's Sweden's and Russia's neighbour). And I'm not trying to be god who judjes the wrong and the right. I just said my opinion thanks for the comment box. BTW, I'm 12.

  • 4. ''US ARMY WAS MEAN! WHY DID IT SEND THOSE HUGE BOMBS''' I think that they sended those bobs for ENDING the war. Imagine, if US army could't send it then? I think that it would change our world today like this: Japan has won the war against China. US army surrended. Hitler has taken half of Europe with Stalin and communism blooms. Know what it is? Well, search from Wikipedia -.-. It would be a hell down on Earth for everybody.

  • 3. ''US army killed soooooooooooo many japs. It was right to them!!!'' Hold on a sec. Do you know who started the World War 2? - Hitler. Do you know what country allied with Hitler and started an unfair war with China, who had to beg the US army to protect tem - Japan. So, do you still think that kamikazes are the good guys and US army the bad guys? BTW - I don't care if US army had killed, raped and do other nasty things BEFORE or AFTER the World War 2, because I'm talking abaout kamikazes.

  • 2. ''It was a heroic death <3'' NO WAY. How you can say that it is a heroic death? Yes, they did a huge sacrifice, but no, it wasn't at all heroic. I'm not trying to defend the US army, I'm only trying to say that how the hell is killig 3 000 + himself heroic? Think a little bit. I know that it was a war and US army also killed japs etc... Okay, My opinion 2, kamikazes aren't eros.

  • This is just my opinion. Hopefully you won't mind ,because I wont care if you do so. So let's get straight to the buisness...

    I think that Kamikaze-pilots were brainwashed humans, who thought that they are like their ancisters, Samurais. Well, they weren't at all. Samurais fought for honor, not for the land (Yes, exeptions are also possilble) or for being rich. They did a suicide if they dishonored their master or themself. So, 1. Kamikazes aren't nothing like Samurais.

  • they were not crazy, they were brave then US & UK soldiers.......

  • Ally's indiscriminate carpet bombing and atomic bombing of Japanese cities and their civillians is one thing, but Japanese's indiscriminate killings of Chinese and Korean people is another. America bomed the Japanese cities to win the war, whereas the Japanese raped and tirtured and murdered Chinese and Korean civillians for pleasure after already defeating them. That's just fucking wrong. At least Americans stopped bomibing the Japanese when they surrendered.

  • i like how americans were scared of facing japan soldier...They knew that japanese were brave soldiers, sons of the brave samurais who were dieing for their emperator! So americans just used all their modern weapons to kill them from distance. So America just pissed off! Thats why after long fights on japanise islands american pussies tired of their "bloody war" and decided to massive bombing japanese towns, then Nagasima and Hirosaki. America, you wasnt the winner in history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the song at the end realy fits the kamikaze story does anybody no da song and it also fits the sadness some kamikaze went threw some were mental some were just throne in to service but regardless they are heroes missing or hitting the ship there sacrifice was truly a heroic death R.I.P KAMIKAZE <3

  • Wonder why a translation ADR with a British accent is necessary?

  • NON PAZZI: EROI! MA VOI AMERICANI ABITUATI A BOMBARDARE I CIVILI AL RIPARO DELL'ALTEZZA SCRIVENDO PURE FRASI INGIURIOSE E CANZONATORIE SULLE BOMBE NON POTETE CAPIRE! VIGLIACCHI GUERRAFONDAI!!

  • too many chinese on this board. they are unaware of their rogue gov's brain-washing. even in this 2011, they still cannot vote their gov. leaders !!? it's a pitiful story...

  • @1969winentice what do you mean by 'brain-washing'??

    It is pitiful that you blame chinese just because you don't know the fact and they do

    ( I'm not chinese.)

  • I am a japanese american who served with the us marines born in japan. I served 3 1/2 tours since 03 in the middle east . and realize most these people saying anything about war or killing, has never seen shit. good or bad, right or wrong cant we all just move on? respect the warrior .

  • NO Japanese KamiKaze pilot were not crazy,they simply executed the strategy,developed by their commanders,Professionalism does demand to appreciate the act of matcless bravery even if displayed by enemy.

  • The so-called " Nanking massacre " has been completely proved as an historical propaganda. Japanese military never did genocide, such as Natis and Curtis LeMay's USAF, but only fought against Chinese guerillas without military uniforms( In Japanese " BEN-I-HEI ". I hope you know the truth but not the ugly propaganda.

  • @aitopgun and Do not say Nanking massacre was fake and propaganda. you motherfucker

    though i'm not chinese, can't bear rage.

  • @YiKyungWon yea, fk those fkers who said Japs were good. They might be good now, but they were totally brain-washed maniacs back then ! They even planned to invade Australia. What would the jewish ppl think if someone started defending for the Nazi's !?

  • @YiKyungWon

    maybe you don't know "Tungchow Mutiny"

  • @aitopgun your opinion is greatly appreciated now GTFO

  • Are you ready to die for your country? We are their grandchildren.

  • Bemm feito americanos malditos .. se foreram gostosooo! Mais tarde iam se foderem mais ainda no Vietnam HAHAHAAHHAHA

  • The war is over. Millions are dead. Move on.

  • i truly get horny when i see people die truly lovely... thumps up zxwar !!!! make more !!!!!!!

  • 先輩方が白人による有色人種支配に対し身を挺して戦った姿は、多­くのアジアの諸民族同胞を勇気付けました。

    アジアの諸民族同胞は勇気を持って立ち上がり、次々と独立を勝ち­取りました。その動きはアフリカ大陸へも広がって行きました。

    日本は多くの犠牲を払い戦いには負けましたが、アジア諸民族の独­立自尊、西欧列強による植民地支配の打破という戦いの目的は達成­されたのです。

    人類史上、記念すべき快挙です。

    私たちも先輩方の御遺志を継ぎ、身命を賭して祖国と民族の独立自­尊を守り抜くことを誓います。

    

  •  Japanese pilots made many sacrifices to save the lives of people in their homeland from US random air raid. B29 killed hundreds of thausands of Japanese civilians as if they were worthless human beings. This terrible massacre was same in the history of Indian elimination. US cavalriess hit Indian women, childrem and old folks when warriors were absent. They did the same in Phillipinen just before the Pacific war. US military is the most cunning in the human history.

  • @aitopgun Just like the Japanese killed all Chinese in their path? Rape of Nanjing ring any bells? Or how about the fact that Japan started the war with the USA.

    Don't fuck with the bull and cry when you get the horns.

  • @Yoshi7000 Well said. Yamamoto said about Pearl Harbor is "All I feel that we've done, is wake a sleeping giant." Damn right, they did.

  • @aitopgun What the fuck! have you ever heard of the things Japan did in China and Korea?! The Japanese are responsible for killing as just as many people as Germany during the war. They murdered random civileans as a sport!

  • @aitopgun I just can't understand that this kind of comment got '5' agree...!

    is it because you hate US military? I want to believe that

    U said

    'Japanese pilots made many sacrifices TO SAVE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMELAND from US random air raid'

    it really similar to insistance of Japan right wing motherfuckers.

    they say, Japan soldiers fight 'MAMORUTAME' (means to protect their land)

  • @aitopgun Oh, man... just don't forget the following fact!

    in that time,

    japan was more similar to 'US Cavalriess' not 'Indian'

    you know,

    twenty-two million Chinese people killed in china-japan war

    that was definitely japan's invasion. and countless massacre were made by japan

    they colonialize korea, killed the queen, killed so many korean also

    I know you intended to mention about US military,

    but You Should care in use example.

  • @aitopgun it was definitely japan's invasion. plz don't overlook cause and result

  • @aitopgun Growing pains. Just because there is history that is not written about it, does not mean it has not happened before.

  • @aitopgun yeah that is what u learn in Japan, to make you guys look innocent...lol

  • @aitopgun, Japanese in conquering Korea & Manchuria & invading China committed many more & much larger atrocities than the USA ever did. No, the vast majoriyt Filipinos were pro-USA & proved in fighting alongside USA troops throughout WWII. Jaoan indiscriminately bombed Chinese cities & purposefully killed USA civilians during their attacks on Pearl Harbor, Wake Island, the Filipines & Guam. In WWII the Japanese were infamous for their cruelty to POWs & civilians.

  • @christof139: War is War, research the actual tactic of tokyo bombing and also William Calley from Vietnam. widen your educational horizon before you spew your crap every where.

  • @SeanSchifferns, Really? Gee, I didn't know that. I know & understand more than you ever will. Go spew your naieve ignorance elsewhere Mr. Nerd.

  • @aitopgun, The Native Americans/Indians were not angels & warred among themselves & made slaves of their enemies & also owned black African slaves as well as captured Euro slaves, tortured & killed many Euro settlers & the opposite also occurred. Those times were brutal in the 1500s to late 1800s & no longer exist.

  • @aitopgun Nice spin on history scrub. You can spin and twist history all you like but in the end you were on the side of Hitler and your own imperial ambitions which ended up in the death of thousands and thousands of innocent people. Your no more innocent than the carpet bombings the allies did or Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

  • @aitopgun stfu man, Japs murdered more than 10 million Chinese, Nan Jing massacre, and invaded the whole South Asia, do you even know what you'r talking about? You jap-comic addicted teen.

  • I've always wondered what those kamikaze pilots would yell/say/think during the last 2 seconds before impact. One of those things that you couldn't record back then I guess eh. =/

    Always an interesting subject, the mind behind the action.

  • when the next war begin? i rather enlist my self in the kamikaze pilot that to serve the fucking American flag.

  • What starts with "G" and rhymes with Puke?

  • fuck yankees

  • @AmBitiHzMuho Yeah, fuck yankees. But you sure do like our internet, don't you? Someday the chinese will claim they started the computer revolution, I'm sure. But if you don't like yankee shit, then stay the fuck out of it. E.g. YouTube.

  • а камикадзе я уважаю 

  • америка сосет , я русский они гниды на себя победу повесили , козлы вонючие мой дед был пограничником , закончил эту войну в 48м они уже у себя хот доги ели а дед зеленых братьев из бункеров выколупывал , они наверное тдумали , что круче ссср умылись уже

  • Kamikaze are Heroes !!

  • what is wrong with these people

    

  • japanese kamikaze = stupidity at it's best. thks for showing us yr stupidity.aligato

  • @spanish111japan so you would rather die for some other country rather than your own? hm...

  • Brain washing on young minds always works, look at the disgraceful history of mankind. You could even brain wash kids here to do that. You could brain wash to restart death camps all over again right here in freedom country. Always its the politicians , Molah and kings staying in their warm palaces sending others to get killed for their cause.

  • Damn, you could say our grandfathers fought with courage back in the day. I mean you are a lad that is ordered to get in that plane and crash yo self on that ship - how would you feel in their place? Or you are the lad that is ordered to stay in that machine gun on the ship even if that plane you aim for just gonna hit you? Back then you do what you got to do, it was your duty... nowadays kids swear each self on the internet, plain video games all day and goin overwheight...

  • "Of `great´ warriors, you do read in the history books. But good warriors tell their tales to their grandchildren themselves!"

  • @KrautGoesWild japan was runing out of supplies in the end of the war so the only way to stop the american was by sinking them with kamikazes and yes they were great warriors they were giving their lifes so the americans wouldnt kill their children and rape their women

  • @SweertugaDany What I quoted in my comment was from a comrade of my German grandpa who was flying for the "Kommando Wilde Sau" ("Rabid Boar Commando"), intending to go so close upon Allied bombers that they, in the end, could crash into them.

    I even knew a Japanese guy during my time at university in Germany, whose grandpa survived a kamikaze attack.

    He couldn´t find his target `cuz he wasn´t trained in navigating properly.

    Fuck wars, dammi!

  • @KrautGoesWild Alrite sorry then

  • @SweertugaDany  rape thier women and kill the children??!!? pieces of shit like you are the reason 1000 okinawan civilians threw themselves off of 1000 foot cliffs rather than come out of hiding. dispicable japanese government brainwashing the weakest of thier people. And you continue this ignorance. you truly are an ignorant twat.

  • fuckin japanese

  • YOU CAN NOT SAY WHO WAS GOOD EN WHO WAS BAD each country wants more we are people we always want more, thats why people goo in war for money, land, and more ..... but the most best way too die is in the battel FOR YOUR COUNTRY FOR HONOR AND FOR FREEDOM !!!!!

  • No, i don't agree that Pearl Harbor attack was fair.., it was most cowardly thing in the history..i mean killing innocent people is wrong..

  • "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country"

    True patriotism has no race or color, just ways of expression.

  • kamikaze were dumb assholes haha

  • Let me tell yall something: World War Two vets are among the honest people to talk to, for, some of them faced actual deaths before their eyes...I've met one! Don't talk to today's career politicians though---THEY ARE A BUNCH OF LYING IDIOTS AND BRAINLESS LOST CHILDREN!!!

  • As an 8 1/2 year-old Vietnamese refugee living in a refugee camp in Guam in 1975, we often wandered into the jungle for fun; one time, we stumbled across a shot-down WW II Japanese aircraft WITH A SKELETOR REMAIN IN IT...I've sometimes wondered if that pilot didn't have the will to commit such a terrible act and crashed their to avoid "embarrassment" to the Emperor!!!

  • Kamikaze literally means divine wind, it describe the typhoon that usually occurs in south east Asia. There is a story about it when the Mongol Huns back in the ancient times tried to invade Japan but failed because a typhoon destroyed their ships.

  • very interesting an sad

    peace

  • its time to unite and fight the zerg and protoss

  • That's how much the Japanese think of their own soldiers. They were cowards who murdered innocent women and children and then cried when we bombed them. Hirohito sent his thanks. What a little pussy

  • 最初の映像、天山雷撃機の主翼が武士の刀剣のように見えるのは私­だけか?

    wtf whre did you get that from. ?

  • Comment removed

  • What would the USA do if they had no more oil Support. Imagine America has no oilrecoureces like Japan at that time. I think Americas Economy would fall together.Your Country would be in Chaos no more Gasoilie no more Cars driving around everybody going nuts.

  • What did the kamikaze achieve? The total tonnage of American ships lost to such attacks was miniscule. Worse, kamikaze attacks simply confirmed American views that they were dealing with fanatics who would fight to the death. Any moral qualms about the use of the atom bomb would have been easier to set aside in these circumstances.

  • Comment removed

  • Many did fight to the death - very few POWs were taken on Saipan for example. But you have to wonder how many gave up their lives willingly in true bushido spirit. While many Japanese soldiers died fearful and desperate deaths, a disproportionate number of senior officers allowed themselves to be taken prisoner. A shameful set of double standards by any measure. Even the emperor, in whose name the war had been fought, acquiesed to the occupation forces. No more talk about bushido after that.

  • You have Sources for that? Except the Emperor of course

  • So much for the false romanticism of an honorable death. Nobody on the ground to wave goodbye. No thank you from the emperor. Just a crappy plane with just enough fuel for a one way trip and a 500 lb bomb. Piloted by frightened kids with barely enough training in basic airmanship. The officers who sent them on their way should have been tried as war criminals.
