@Gekkibi oh sorry. I stole your opinion? Wont happen again sir, thanks for thumbing up!
Well i think the US wasn't as heroic as it keeps reminding us. They were there i guess in them war theaters but no one knows how they fared. We only have propaganda material to study and look at.
@lunafringe10 What is with your pessimism? In war, one must attain victory and in World War II, all sides waged total war on each other. As for Japan, the massive bombings were necessary to knock Japan out of the war once and for all. The emperor was spared since the Japanese saw him as divine, yet Hirohito also renounced his so called divinity. For your information, the Tokyo War Crimes trials did take place and 900 Japanese military leaders were executed! Justice was done after all!
At the battle of Pearl Harbor the Japanese failed to attack the ship repair yards and the huge oil installations, which contained the only fuel oil the US Navy had for the first 6 months, thereby losing the war on the first day. The yards had most damage repaired within 12 months and put the Yorktown, damaged in the Coral Sea, back into action for Midway
@lunafringe10 I hope your mother quit screwing after she had you. Too bad the abortionist's shop vac was broken that day. You make me laugh, even if it is wrong to laugh at the handicapped.
Japanese Navy Pilot were never defeated before the United States entered the war because all the countries Japan fought with don't even have an Air force to begin with and even if some do like China, the plane was mostly from WW1. Except for the FLYING TIGER.
When you think about it,to wage total war at the opposite sides of the world simultaneously is unique in world history,a remarkable achievement,Hats off to the USA
@TheUncleDougger thx for the advice yank, don't u worry your brains abt me. i get by just fine, and you know what? i don't need America. Only the slaves go there. The huddled masses. The poor. I don't claim land. Mortals have no right to own land in my opinion.
Life is short and its futile to amass property. When your time comes you won't be able to take even a dime with you. Land will still be there when we are all gone. Wake up
for people to live on continents is perfectly in order- The lord didn't create any borders.
But some countries declared land to be that of their kings and rulers. Thats wrong, So
your philosophy failed. All this bull abt passports and so on is not right. Hawaii belonged to
the polynesian people. Vikings didn't care, they raped , pillaged and robbed what and who was in their way. So its ok if someone invaded Norway? Since it happened all of the time you might not complain about it right
Look into the errors that modern historians have corrected in many of the BOM assertions made soon after the war and repeated in this video. The truth about the BOM is far more fascinating than this blustering narrative.
@lunafringe10 really? then 90% of the countries of the world have 'stolen' land. how do you think countries are created? i'm norwegian and i can say that denmark stole greenland from us and that sweden stole land in the east. what matters in modern times is who wants to stay with whom. people living in what is now sweden are fine with being swedish. and hawaiians are fine with being american.
@topperheartramada You can't tell this buffoon anything. too bad we can't send him back in time to the ice age. He could tell some caveman that he stole his cave from someone else, with the predictable and highly desireable result of the caveman bashing him with a club.
@lunafringe10 and who took it from who before? We will never know. But if we did I bet your primitive relative would had his brains clubbed in by whoever in prehistory he told had no right. So, from what I read it seems that he got his brains clubbed out and you just naturally carried on his final genetic profile of not having one.
@TheUncleDougger you took it from the indigenous ppl of Hawaii. Theft is a crime. If i steal from you can i say you got it from someone else? that argumentation is piss weak.
the japanese zero was so much better than ant American fighter in 1941 because they were planning for war with the United States since the 1920.'s. when the U.S was focused on war they answered with the p-51.
@stardaddyo9 The premiere pacific war fighter was the F6F Hellcat. Lots better in high stress and low maintence environments that the P-51. Many more F6F's fought in the pacific than did P-51's. They both could knock the hell out of a zero, though.
@levelat350 Nagumo pussied out of a 3rd strike. Subordinates wanted to go hunting for the carriers and to finish off Pearl Harbor, but he was scared the carriers would find his fleet.
Once more, let us be thankful of the sacrifices made the allies most especially the war veterans of America's greatest generation. One more thing, the Germans and the Japanese were in deepest fear of America's commanders from General Patton (whom the Germans respected and feared the most), Omar Bradley, Mark Clark, Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, Chester Nimitz and Frank Fletcher just to name a few. As FDR put it; "America will always stand as the Arsenal of Democracy." I rest my case!
What most people don't know there was also another "Battle of Medway", also called the "Raid on Chatham" as the heroic Dutch fleet sailed up the river Thames to burn the entire British fleet.
The main vessels were taken as a war bounty, the other were burned. After some 400 years the remains of the Prince of Wales are still to be seen in the Amsterdam museum.
@Quierotortilla Why don't the Brits mention it? Because in the last 400 yrs the Dutch haven't done shit except carve wooden shoes. I do believe the Brits won the game. Why don't you go back in time, then come back later and tell us if Dutch cavemen killed more British cavemen in the caveman wars? Medway was almost as long ago.
@Quierotortilla the brits are only bitter because they were raped and pillaged for centuries by vikings and romans. its psychological. The only decent thing they ever did was to annihilate the spanish heretics. And thus stopped their genocide in south america.
@lunafringe10 Spanish conquest of South America was indeed bloody but Inca generals Calucachima, Quisquis and Ruminahui (Stone eyes) did not make their conquest easy.
English colonization of North America was even more bloody and one of the techniques to destroy the native Americans was to have a deadly sick white spit into the mouth of a native in order he would die at a disease his body had no resistance to.
Spaniards never did so but they had other bloody techniques.
These fellows do an excellent job in showing the realisitic aspects of all battles. In particular enjoy this one on "Midway". I think this battle was the most important battle since the defeat of the Spanish Armada 1588 It has all the aspects of that battle an inferior force meeting a superior, the tension of time and resources. The americans pull it off with unpredictable results for the better situated Japanese. God Bless..Thanks Gianni
sorry what a load of baloney. i don't believe a word of it. Probably there was never any battle fought. we should know, The first victim is the truth. The US is called bluff now, The taliban exposed them as a worthless force.
Of course you would say that because you were never at the battle of Midway. I know a war veteran who was on the USS Enterprise who testified the destruction of the Imperial Japanese navy at Midway. Be thankful for America's victory over Japan and the coming liberation.
I would rather take American liberation over the brutal Japanese occupation. By the way, it was America's vast military and industrial output that won World War II for the allies and the side of good over evil (I exempt the Soviet Union). For example, over 16,000,000 americans were mobilizied for both the European, African and Pacific theatres against both Germany and Japan and after those nations were defeated, they were democratizied, rebuilt and reborn because of America!
@urenag1 in case of japan, why kill so many innocent ppl, just kill the "cream of their upper crust". You could have hanged the emperor, Why didn't you? He was guilty like all the others- And not just in Japan, Kill them world wide. Even in the west. Humanity has enough of the robbers and thieves. We need change.
@lunafringe10 On the subject of Japan, General Douglas MacArthur oversaw Japan's reconstruction and proved to be a brilliant administrator who drew up Japan's current Constitution in which Japan's modern democracy is based. But don't take my word for it...In the words of former Japanese military officer Genda (who planned the Pearl Harbor attack), "The US. occupation of Japan (from 1945-1952) was without doubt the most successful, productive, and benevolent military occupation in history!"
@urenag1 I m sorry Japan is still occupied. Pls check. What abt Iraq? Libya? Afghanistan? You wouldn't call that progress would you? its one thing to draw up a constitution and another to make it work. The US never built up a damn thing, It left
everything in ruins.The US didn't bring any culture to any damn place like the romans did for instance.The romans got Europe and other out of barbarism and stoic darkness. The US did exactly the opposite.Democracy is only on paper, Sorry
@urenag1 Mac Arthur was removed by the president because he was a mad man. He proposed a massive nuclear bombing of south china after it became clear that the US couldn't defeat the north koreans. The last resort. The president knew that 50 nuclear bombs could nt bring China to its knees, the place is simply too vast. And the world would have turned its back on you. No one would have even looked at you anymore, Mac Arthur was beset with his own nightmares that haunted him for his crimes,
@urenag1 there is no democracy in Japan at all. Its a sham. Like everywhere else. you also don't have democracy. You have no say in anything, All you can do is go and vote, And even that won't guarantee freedom. We are all slaves
@lunafringe10 The 16 million Americans who fought and won World War II are the greatest generation for they liberated the world from Nazi and Japanese tyranny. As Abraham Lincoln put it, America is indeed "the last, best hope of earth!"
And think about this bozo, if America did not intervene in World War II and the war was lost to the Third Reich and the Japanese Empire, our world would be a catastrophic hell with a severe shortage of many races and cultures!
@urenag1 there weren't 16 million americans fighting in WW2. Last time i checked (a few days ago) only about 150 thousand fought in Europe. Is that why Lincoln was assassinated? He didn't know the world as he should have. Great men were elsewhere.
This planet does nt depend on wise men. Not the japanese and the germans were to blame but the insanity and arrogance of a very few. Eventually all empires and their leaders have vanished without a trace, I could happen to the US as well
@lunafringe10 But back to the battle of Midway (let us not get immature or sidetracked), this was the most decisive naval battle in history for it stopped Japan's dream of Pacific conquest and made possible the American island hopping strategy to the very heart of Japan itself. To recap, all four of Japan's mighty aircraft carriers were destroyed, 275 aircraft (along with the best Japanese pilots) and 5000 Japanese sailors and officers were lost! I'd say those are truly unbearable loses!
@lunafringe10 All of South and Central America were under European rule, and they broke those bonds, so why didnt the Phillipines? Sometimes theres more behind the scenes than we know...
"Five minutes! Who would have dreamed that the tide of battle would shift completely in that brief interval of time?"
-Words from Japanese Air Commander Fuchida recollecting the devestation brought to the Imperial Japanese Navy at the hands of America's torpedo and dive bombers at the battle of Midway! So much for your point of view (your desbelief that the battle even happened)!
@urenag1 some battles have happened without doubt, but remember, how the US was on the moon. That moon was drummed up in a hollywood movie studio. so you got to be careful about what they re saying, Naturally the US won the war all by themselves. ok just a few mickey mouse brits, cowardly french and sub human russians whose red army smashed the nazis so the US could land on some beaches. Had it not been for Russia, Hitler would have rolled up even the US, They are even admitting to it
@lunafringe10 We should just stick to the battle of Midway here since this is a documentary about the decisive battle. Yes, this certainly was America's finest hour by halting Japan's advance and while the Russians won the Eastern Front by foolishly sacrificing 20 million of their population, it was America's massive industrial capacity and manpower that did in Nazi Germany. Let us not forget to mention American Air power that leveled German cities and drove the German army out of Western Europe
@lunafringe10 Russia? LOL! You mean the nation that lost nearly TEN Russians to everyone one German. Yeah, I suppose you're right. They were good at throwing men to the slaughter, in hopes that the Germans would eventually run out of ammunition and they could overrun their positions. Just look at the Battle for Stalingrad. The only reason the Russians won was because of the Russian Winter. As for the U.S., even Hitler knew he couldn't take the USA, that's why he enlisted Japanese help.
@lunafringe10 the americans didnt win the war all by them selves you foolish arse head, the british where the man fighting force in north africa and italy and where also the people who were fighting through france and belgian.
@lazypanda111 the british and canadians would have never made it off the normandy beachs.It's possible you could have kept rommel at a stalemate in n. africa but only american sherman tanks being loaned to you.
@lazypanda111 Although the British war effort was substantial.it was but a small fraction of the overall picture,by far the largest sacrifices where taken by A,, Russia and B,the USA.Im English btw
I'm not an American but I've always felt that Midway should put paid to the odd notion that Americans can't fight. Outnumbered, outgunned and in many ways a step behind in technology the U.S. navy smashed the really competent Japanese fleet, largely due to the personal courage of a handful of torpedo plane and dive bomber pilots. That sounds like fighting to me.
@deriter64 Im not trying to undercut the americans in this battle, it was a tough fight no question and they had suffered some serious pounding in previous months, but they did have a significant intelligence advantage, they knew where, when and how many enimes they where fighting and their opponents knew next to nothing about them ... that kind of advantage is a golden ticket then as much as it is now
@Valen123456 Very true. They cracked the Purple Code before Pearl Harbor. I'm just reading "Miracle at Midway" and intelligence gathering wasn't the only advantage they had. Many Japanese official had conned themselves into believing that Japan was invincible. Many in America believed it too. In contrast to Pearl Harbor, their preparation was poor and their wargaming considered only one result: victory for Japan.
@Valen123456 Hi, no arguement about U.S. intelligence gathering and the resultant strategic decisions but on a tactical level the battle hinged on a handful of men in torpedo planes and dive bombers that were nothing more than targets for the Zero in 1942. Yet they went ahead anyway and in five minutes of history changed the course of the war in the Pacific. Astounding courage. All I'm saying is that I don't accept this bullshit that Americans can't fight.
japan was really crazy in believing that it could take on the usa. during the war, 80% of usa troops were used for europe and 20% was used for the pacific.even with such small percentage, usa mop the floor with the japs
@eastern2western I don't think that's entirely true. The Japanese had a superiority in carriers and at least technical superiority in other ships. They made a mistake in not invading Hawaii. Had they taken it, they would have controlled the Pacific but they could never have mounted an invasion of the continental US.
They also missed the US carriers at Pearl Harbor.
By these two mistakes, they missed their chance and they were overwhelmed. Midway was only the beginning of the end.
@Camerameister In my honest opinion the Japanese were screwed just by the bad luck that those US aircraft carriers had left Pearl Harbor before the Japanese attacked. As long as the US had those carriers it could still mount an effective defense of the homeland and Hawaii. The US didn't need numerical superiority b/c they had already cracked Japanese naval code.
The US could completely outproduce the Japanese so the Japanese either had to win it all at once or not at all.
@shanghaibenny2 I don't think that's what he meant. Most people know that the Purple Code had been broken. I think he was just referring to the lack of ceremony.
@Goregrinding well they are, but they where not at Midway, this battle was between Japan and the USA, and one of the most amazing Sea Battles of all time.
The Imperial Navy's down fall was the loss of their veteran aviators. As the War with the US progressed, Japanese aces were never taken out of active service to train new crops of pilots. They simply fought until they were killed. The US however made certain that their experienced aviators were not killed off in battle. They realized how important it was to keep experience around to pass down to combat cherries. You saw the difference in skill in 1944 at the Marianas Turkey Shoot.
Vastly outnumbered, the US hinged their victory on the boldness and bravery of a few airmen who flew off those decks knowing they'd probably never see land again. With just a lick of fuel left, they fell upon the enemy armada, destroying the lifeblood of the Japanese Navy in mere minutes.
This battle is a story of America. What being an American used to mean. You take the resources you have and you take a god damn chance, fighting for an idea you knew was just.
@Nishapur23 Sympathized with Nazis? Also, US even made fun of Hitler and his Nazi party. Most Americans, before Cold War, did not want to send their male relatives into a war not personally involve with them.
@Nishapur23 Only a few idiots sympathised with the nazis. The people that didnt war. Didnt want it because they did not want to die in what they considered someone elses wars.
@Lumotaku If you put the Kido Butai against the Grand Fleet of Jutland in December 1941, unless the Grand Fleet could get in its gunnery range, it would be highly likely that the entire Grand Fleet would be sunk without any damage to the Kido Butai. The six carriers could deliver bombs and torpedos up to 200 miles in advance of the fleet. So unless the Grand Fleet could sneak up to within 10 miles of Kido Butai, they just would be sitting ducks. Kido Butai was indeed more powerful.
Why are all the representations of ships innaccurate? All the "Japanese" battleships, for example, are Bismarcks, a ship that didn't ever see the Pacific, and the Japanese carriers are all Shinanos, a ship that didn't exist at that time... all the other smaller CGI ships look American... not that it detracts from the story, but it's a little annoying
@CrazyShakaZulu Obviously I was speculating here and its all moot, because Japan did attack Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941. But I agree with your assessment with ecomonic sanctions, because of the US's isolationist attitude.
As an Australian I'm glad of US involvement, because I could be sitting down to dinner with a nice bowl of rice and raw fish.
On the long run, Japan can't prevailed against United States. The Japanese know this. Though Midway is a setback for Japan, this battle revealed the quality of Japanese pilots. before this, American pilots considered their Japanese counterpart as inferior to the US and European pilots.
@phadil it depends how you see it, no they couldnt win against USA, but if they could expand and occupy hawaii then they could rout out the US pacific fleet once and for all and then US would be unable to counterattack.
Nice documentery..only 3d models they used are..strange..Jap carriers "bombed" by wildcat fighters?? Why not use dauntless model instead... But using as both jap and us battleship model Bismarck is simply too much.... lame 3d artist....
CALLING THE ALLIES, Americans, Russians, British, French, Ukrainians, Belarussians, Serbs, Canadians, Australians, Chinese... Lets give THUMBS DOWN to this nazi video that allows only good comments about it.
@anebt . Needless to say, Bombing and Scouting Six from the Enterprise still lost 18 out of 33 planes altogether. But most of those were from running out of fuel en route back home or having to ditch because of battle-damage. No more than four or five SBDs were downed by the pursuing Zeros and at least two of the Zeros were shot down by SBD rear gunners who only had a single .30 calibre MG. The six Wildcats of Fighting-3 led by Jimmy Thach got at least six Zeros and lost only one in return.
@hill9868 There is a saying if you want to damage a ship and set fires use bombs if you want to sink a ship use torpedoes. That is my way of agreeing w/ your statement about the zero maintaining low level. also, it takes a long while to gain altitude. I saw a race to 10,000 ft between a p47 and f4 phantom. The phantom won yet it was a nice air show.
@anebt The Japanese fighter-controllers saw the US dive-bombers approaching but the Zero pilots were ordered to remain at low level because they still saw the torpedo bomber as the most dangerous threat. Contrary to popular belief, the last US torpedo squadron- Lem Massey's Torpedo 3 from the Yorktown- was commencing its attack run at the SAME TIME as the SBDs were attacking from above. And yes you are right, most of the Zeros were already low on ammo, were scattered and their pilots were tired.
America was heart broken and she wanted revenge. The great country was already prepared for war. Industry and all of america's sons wanted to avenge their fallen comrades.
Ah, 20TH CENTURY BATTLEFIELDS... one of my favorite history shows. David and Peter Snow not only tell the story, they also make it a pleasure to learn about history.
one thing i dont understand is that the japnese zeros were displaced during the 2nd wave of attacks the what happened to them? cus they were not killed on the carriers like the rest of the torpedo and dive bombers they were fighting off the 1st usa attack? and when the 3 carriers were bombed the zeros were climbing to intercept and not killed?
@aziqbal Most of the Zero pilots who were airborne when the 3 carriers were hit made a half-hearted effort to pursue the US dive-bombers but they were already low on ammo. A few landed on the surviving Japanese carrier- the Hiryu but the rest simply patrolled above the fleet until they ran out of fuel and ditched and were picked up by Destroyers. Even though all of their aircraft were lost, most of the Japanese air-crew survived the battle but not many would live to see August 1945.
@ejpbruel Remember Warsaw 1944 where great allies stood waiting for hitler to destroy our capital only because we did not want to accept communism. Remember FDR jewish president of america who was shaking hands with mass murderer stalin. Lets end this hypocrites.
@shiloh1944 Of course he was shaking hands with Stalin. What do you think the alternative would have been? Still, I'd rather be in league with hypocrites than mass murderers.
@ejpbruel FDR brought america into the war apparently because of evil nazis. However; there are long term consequences of american occupation of Europe. One of them is mass immigration of people from all over the world and policy of multiculturalism imposed on Europeans. And of course they support communist habits by encouraging corporate bailouts and suppressing free competition.
The results of WWII would have been inevitable even if Japan won the battle for Miday. During WWII the US had 163 aircraft carriers (22 fleet class and 141 escort class) . During Pear Harbor the japanese only had 10 aircraft carriers. For the entire duration of the war, Japan produced only 26 functional carriers total, many did not have carrier pilots. 3 or 4 carriers would not have made any difference for the overall war.
?? in midway their objective was to trap the american carriers and to destroy them for a swift surrender of the Usa and iam not sure their objectives in Pearl but they did have enuf fuel its just that Admiral izruko Yamamoto thought that it was no good on atttacking again because the american where now ready for another wave
@Shinigami x More importantly is why the attacking forces did not destroy the massive fuel tanks and storage area. That alone would have eliminated any US actions for 6 months or more. There would have been no coral sea, Wake, Doolittle raid, solomons, midway and more. More important is that submarine action would have been extremely limited....oh well who knows...take it light
Too many exaggerations, superlatives, the ship models of the so called Japanese fleet show everything but Japanese ships (mostly German battleships and British and American carriers). If you want to go for facts, then read a good book, if you like the pictures, then watch this vid and turn off the sound.
this is you tube mate. if people nwanna read a book they can. what do you expect. cant stand people like you. if you dont think its up to your standards no ones forcing you to watch it. alot of people find it interresting and theirs allso alot of younger people watch this .

Don't be negative with this. You should know how video is patched together on these military docu's. Try helping others that visit these videos learn what is going on and what the mistakes are. By teaching the truth about WW2 we can help preserve the past and hopefully use this learning to guide the future.
By the way this program is known for its generalities, vague information and bad bad video edits.
the battle of midway was a worst battle if Japan they lose aircraft carrier call Akagi the one attack pearl harbor just once three zero airplane came back!!! How did American destroy Akagi? Because, since 1921 Washington Naval told Italy and Japan they are the 2nd best when USA, FR, and UK are 1st best of Naval!!!
@ROTFT2@ROTFT2 You are misinformed about the Washington treaty. It was a 5-5-3-1.7-1.7 ratio. US and UK at party, Japan at 3/5, FR & Italy at 1.7/5. At the time the US could have crushed all other nations in a naval arms race. All other nations were broke. Japan was already spend 30% of national budget on Naval vessels & at that point knew they could never out produce the US so they went with quality rather then quantity. OH and they did not obey the treaty limits at all.
@ROTFT2 IJN carrier Akagi was built on a battlecruiser hull which Japan would have had to scrap under terms of the naval treaty of 1922. Since carrier tonnage was unrestricted Japan and the US converted unfinished hulls to treaty legal ships. Akagi was the largest carrier in Nagumo's group, displacing over40,000 tons.
@VeeGlo Just a small correction Carrier tonnage was indeed restricted. Unfinished battlecruiser hulls were recycled (by Japan, US and UK) into aircraft carriers to save money (and time, and resources) because they were fast ships. I believe you can still find online the english version of the Washington Naval Treaty. Regards.
one question i dont understand is why all 3 japanese aircraft carriers were all traveling together, secondly why were so many japanese killed in the attack? also the carriers didnt sink they were later sunk by japanese destroyers?
The world remembers how the US got into WW2 3 years later then everyone else.
how heroic! Congratulations. And then after the red army rolled back the Wehrmacht
they claimed to be the sole victors. in reality they had colonial slaves from all over the world
to pick their hot potatoes out of the fire for them.

At the battle of Pearl Harbor the Japanese failed to attack the ship repair yards and the huge oil installations, which contained the only fuel oil the US Navy had for the first 6 months, thereby losing the war on the first day. The yards had most damage repaired within 12 months and put the Yorktown, damaged in the Coral Sea, back into action for Midway

for people to live on continents is perfectly in order- The lord didn't create any borders.
But some countries declared land to be that of their kings and rulers. Thats wrong, So
your philosophy failed. All this bull abt passports and so on is not right. Hawaii belonged to
the polynesian people. Vikings didn't care, they raped , pillaged and robbed what and who was in their way. So its ok if someone invaded Norway? Since it happened all of the time you might not complain about it right

@lunafringe10 Spanish conquest of South America was indeed bloody but Inca generals Calucachima, Quisquis and Ruminahui (Stone eyes) did not make their conquest easy.
English colonization of North America was even more bloody and one of the techniques to destroy the native Americans was to have a deadly sick white spit into the mouth of a native in order he would die at a disease his body had no resistance to.
Spaniards never did so but they had other bloody techniques.

I'm not an American but I've always felt that Midway should put paid to the odd notion that Americans can't fight. Outnumbered, outgunned and in many ways a step behind in technology the U.S. navy smashed the really competent Japanese fleet, largely due to the personal courage of a handful of torpedo plane and dive bomber pilots. That sounds like fighting to me.

In contrast to Pearl Harbor, their preparation was poor and their wargaming considered only one result: victory for Japan.

@Valen123456 Hi, no arguement about U.S. intelligence gathering and the resultant strategic decisions but on a tactical level the battle hinged on a handful of men in torpedo planes and dive bombers that were nothing more than targets for the Zero in 1942.

@eastern2western I don't think that's entirely true. The Japanese had a superiority in carriers and at least technical superiority in other ships. They made a mistake in not invading Hawaii. Had they taken it, they would have controlled the Pacific but they could never have mounted an invasion of the continental US.
They also missed the US carriers at Pearl Harbor.
By these two mistakes, they missed their chance and they were overwhelmed. Midway was only the beginning of the end.
Camerameister 8 months ago
@Camerameister In my honest opinion the Japanese were screwed just by the bad luck that those US aircraft carriers had left Pearl Harbor before the Japanese attacked. As long as the US had those carriers it could still mount an effective defense of the homeland and Hawaii. The US didn't need numerical superiority b/c they had already cracked Japanese naval code.
The US could completely outproduce the Japanese so the Japanese either had to win it all at once or not at all.

The Imperial Navy's down fall was the loss of their veteran aviators. As the War with the US progressed, Japanese aces were never taken out of active service to train new crops of pilots. They simply fought until they were killed. The US however made certain that their experienced aviators were not killed off in battle. They realized how important it was to keep experience around to pass down to combat cherries. You saw the difference in skill in 1944 at the Marianas Turkey Shoot.

@Lumotaku If you put the Kido Butai against the Grand Fleet of Jutland in December 1941, unless the Grand Fleet could get in its gunnery range, it would be highly likely that the entire Grand Fleet would be sunk without any damage to the Kido Butai. The six carriers could deliver bombs and torpedos up to 200 miles in advance of the fleet. So unless the Grand Fleet could sneak up to within 10 miles of Kido Butai, they just would be sitting ducks. Kido Butai was indeed more powerful.

@anebt . Needless to say, Bombing and Scouting Six from the Enterprise still lost 18 out of 33 planes altogether. But most of those were from running out of fuel en route back home or having to ditch because of battle-damage. No more than four or five SBDs were downed by the pursuing Zeros and at least two of the Zeros were shot down by SBD rear gunners who only had a single .30 calibre MG. The six Wildcats of Fighting-3 led by Jimmy Thach got at least six Zeros and lost only one in return.

@anebt The Japanese fighter-controllers saw the US dive-bombers approaching but the Zero pilots were ordered to remain at low level because they still saw the torpedo bomber as the most dangerous threat. Contrary to popular belief, the last US torpedo squadron- Lem Massey's Torpedo 3 from the Yorktown- was commencing its attack run at the SAME TIME as the SBDs were attacking from above. And yes you are right, most of the Zeros were already low on ammo, were scattered and their pilots were tired.

@aziqbal Most of the Zero pilots who were airborne when the 3 carriers were hit made a half-hearted effort to pursue the US dive-bombers but they were already low on ammo. A few landed on the surviving Japanese carrier- the Hiryu but the rest simply patrolled above the fleet until they ran out of fuel and ditched and were picked up by Destroyers. Even though all of their aircraft were lost, most of the Japanese air-crew survived the battle but not many would live to see August 1945.

For the entire duration of the war, Japan produced only 26 functional carriers total, many did not have carrier pilots. 3 or 4 carriers would not have made any difference for the overall war.

i still wonder why iruko yamamoto didnt ordered another attack on pearl harbour
ShinigamixXXx 1 year ago
@ShinigamixXXx
He didnt order another attack because:
1. They'd need more fuel
and 2. Their main targets were the USA carriers, destroying them would give them a huge advantage during naval battles

?? in midway their objective was to trap the american carriers and to destroy them for a swift surrender of the Usa and iam not sure their objectives in Pearl but they did have enuf fuel its just that Admiral izruko Yamamoto thought that it was no good on atttacking again because the american where now ready for another wave
ShinigamixXXx 1 year ago
@Shinigami x More importantly is why the attacking forces did not destroy the massive fuel tanks and storage area. That alone would have eliminated any US actions for 6 months or more. There would have been no coral sea, Wake, Doolittle raid, solomons, midway and more. More important is that submarine action would have been extremely limited....oh well who knows...take it light

Too many exaggerations, superlatives, the ship models of the so called Japanese fleet show everything but Japanese ships (mostly German battleships and British and American carriers). If you want to go for facts, then read a good book, if you like the pictures, then watch this vid and turn off the sound.

@patsyd80 And how can I foresee that this isn´t a good vid without watching it? Very logical mate. By the way: you mean Youtube and a good level don´t fit together?

Don't be negative with this. You should know how video is patched together on these military docu's. Try helping others that visit these videos learn what is going on and what the mistakes are. By teaching the truth about WW2 we can help preserve the past and hopefully use this learning to guide the future.
By the way this program is known for its generalities, vague information and bad bad video edits.

the battle of midway was a worst battle if Japan they lose aircraft carrier call Akagi the one attack pearl harbor just once three zero airplane came back!!! How did American destroy Akagi? Because, since 1921 Washington Naval told Italy and Japan they are the 2nd best when USA, FR, and UK are 1st best of Naval!!!

@ROTFT2 @ROTFT2 You are misinformed about the Washington treaty. It was a 5-5-3-1.7-1.7 ratio. US and UK at party, Japan at 3/5, FR & Italy at 1.7/5. At the time the US could have crushed all other nations in a naval arms race. All other nations were broke. Japan was already spend 30% of national budget on Naval vessels & at that point knew they could never out produce the US so they went with quality rather then quantity. OH and they did not obey the treaty limits at all.

@ROTFT2 IJN carrier Akagi was built on a battlecruiser hull which Japan would have had to scrap under terms of the naval treaty of 1922. Since carrier tonnage was unrestricted Japan and the US converted unfinished hulls to treaty legal ships. Akagi was the largest carrier in Nagumo's group, displacing over40,000 tons.
VeeGlo 1 year ago
@VeeGlo Just a small correction Carrier tonnage was indeed restricted. Unfinished battlecruiser hulls were recycled (by Japan, US and UK) into aircraft carriers to save money (and time, and resources) because they were fast ships. I believe you can still find online the english version of the Washington Naval Treaty. Regards.
