  • hey ho! Stupid pepol everywhere! Glad to see you all, humain is stupid generaly, this is a true fact :( So just enjoy the movie and try to love something else that your self pls. MERCI beaucoup.

  • back when they used real ammo for sea burials

  • Operation Iceberg was brutal man..comparing D-Day to this. This was utter hell. Very, very horrific.

  • AMERICAN IS SUCK

  • Truly a horrific battle. Not a bad as Stalingrad though.

  • @ProtestantsRUs No... what was shown in this video was the sea battle around okinawa not the land battle that was way more brutal then Stalingrad. Also the pacific front was way more brutal in itself then the eastern front

  • Where is the number one destination for people in other countries ? The United States, who da thunk ? Unfortunately many are bringing their diseases with them, quite a bit uptick in crap that hasn't been around here for a long time.

  • fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uck america i love japan

  • all i gota say is 'FUCK YEAH!'

  • I think I see Cole Phelps from LA Noire

  • It is hard to believe that any planes could get through all of that flak.

  • we human beings will destroy ourself killing each other ..what ever we comment or think ...does not matter....ww3 might not happen but does it need to happen with all these killings takin place in iraq ,afganisthan...and so on....its our animal nature that will finish human race ...hope we humans learn from animals ..lol

  • Atleast we know every United country did their bit in WW2, well about France...

  • My great uncle floated in the sea for three days because of a Kamakazi...

  • My uncle's carrier, CVL-23 USS Princeton, was sunk several months earlier, on 24 Oct 1944, in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. My uncle was a 'plank owner' and the carrier earned 9 battle stars before it was lost in action. Some of the footage in this film is of the Princeton, with the USS Birmingham alongside, fire fighting. A lot of this footage was taken out of context as stock footage.

  • Okinawa = Japan's ultimate fail

  • To see the farsical of war and why we are idiots see ''evil Rothschild'' on you tube and it all makes mad sense,it will change your mind about this world and who runs things.the money lenders,let me know WHAT YOU think.

  • hats off to you marines and navy guys....very brave folks

  • @allanro28 "Kamikaze" pilots too.

  • yeh i agree, my father passed away last year , he served on Formidable in Sinking the Turpitz, before duty in Okinowa. i think a victotia cross won by a swordfish pilot, first awarded in ww2. mayt stories have been told, wish i could remember them all now.

  • @stevesterboy Im sorry to hear about your father. My grandfather also died recently, only 4 months ago. It was only after he died that my dad found his old service records and a number of medals in the attic. He never liked talking about the fighting, he preferred to talk about the good times they had in the Navy and the friends he made for life. Im sure your father also had many fond memories and positive experiances. I dont think people like us could ever replicate it in civilian life.

  • My Grandfather was an Officer on the Aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious throughout WW2. He served in every theater of war against Italians, Vichy French, Germans and Japanese. But the only part of the War he never ever talked about was his time at the Battle of OKINAWA. When questioned All he would say is "1 Kamikaze would cause more fear than a whole squadron of Lufftwaffa bombers", "How can you frighten an enemy that is not afraid of death?" "I still have a sobering respect for those men".

  • Thanks for the videos, very interesting.

  • My Father was on the aircraft carrier HMS Formidable , in the battle Okinawa, was hit 3 times by Kamikazi, damage not as bad as the US carriers as the decks were steel not wood as i believe. Any body know the identity of the ships in the footage??, I have some good bw pics from the deck after battle and clean up . will try and get them posted.

  • Comment removed

  • @stevesterboy The five British aircraft carriers that participated in battle action near Okinawa were Formidable, Illustrious, Indefatigable, Indomitable, and Victorious. Every British carrier suffered kamikaze hits, but all of them had remained operational. Formidable actually replaced Illustrious in the Line after a Kamizaze hit below the water line.

  • The Brits definitely have the market cornered on the best war documentary narrators.

  • While the whole world is up rising and fighting for their freedom, the Okinawans need to do the same and protest for the rights of their own island. Not only did the Japanese exploit the Okinawans before WWII, now the American military is raping the the land and doing so with no disregard of the people. Okinawans need to fight and lead the people to liberation of this military industrialization of its island. Fight like the Taiwanese, like the Egyptians, like the Libyans! Free OKINAWA !

  • @kazumathe1 You're mixing facts. No rape of Okinawa took place after Yamamoto went swimming.

  • hey where did you get that footage i have to make a video of the battle of okinawa for history final and im editing together clips but i cant find video if u culd tell me where u got the video thatd be great

  • stop whining about the narrator. this was the 40's and didn't speak as "modern" as we would do.

  • WAS THIS VIDEO UPLOADED IN 1945!

    I DON'T KNOW YOUTUBE IS THAT OLD

  • WAS THE FIRST VID PART A ZERO FAILING A KAMIKAZE ATACK!!?

  • that would be funny if when those soldiers were firing in the sky with their rifles that they'd hit a Zero

  • @SWI0001 it has happen i bet.

  • Thank god for that earthquake and nuclear disaster in Japan. Karma Bitch

  • You guys are fighting a never ending story, its the past.......

  • USN - in 1942 lost more ships in US coastal waters than the British did during the whole of the war - The second happy time.

    As I recall the USA needed the Japanese to help them decide that the should be fighting on the side of the Brits.

    Go on Youtube and type in 'Nazi's Madison Square Gardens'

    Americans role in WW2, was late, completely incompetant and liability to the British in 1942 - 43. But that doesn't fit the US propaganda hype.

  • @HunterstonB, USA was sending war material & supplies to Britain & the USSR before the latter Lend Lease plan was implemented. USA practiced a policy of isolationalism before WWII, however, our leaders knew we would have to enter the war & so began building up the USN well before WWII. The USN did not lose more ships along the USA coast during Happy Time 2 than the Brtis did in the entire war! If not for our massive material aid & then manpower Brtiain would have maybe had it.

  • Rofl. . . . . .

    Don't Americans love to tell everyone how wonderful they are? All hat and no cattle as they say in Texas.

    Americans SOLD on credit 'lend lease' supplies to the UK and Russia

    There were also Polish, French, Czech, Norwegian, Belgian, pilots who fought in the battle of Britian - Americans were a tiny miny

    Britain, in 1942 has to send 50 ASV's and two aircraft squadrons to defend the east coast. It also loaned the USN an aircraft carrier in 1942.

  • The folks who are not scared of dying but who want to live, are far, far more dangerous than the Kamikazi pilot or suicide bomber.

  • USA started sending materials to the USSR in 1941 slightly prior to June 22, 1941 the day the Nazis invaded the USSR.

  • imagine surviving this and knowing that you have to go back

  • even though im japanese, i think japan was really one fucked up country back then.

    at least they changed after the war.

  • @LuvRangiku And what about those still are not changed??after gaining control of Okinawa,the victorious force took all women from 8 to 80 and raped them mercilessly.

  • @LuvRangiku

    Glad to see that you have perspective.

  • @LuvRangiku We have a tendency to say Germans are so and so, anericans are..., French are, Japanese are..

    I think that peoples are often only slaves of their leaders . It is Hitler, Goering, Goebbels, Mussolini, Pol Pot who caused the ruin of their peoples.. I also, with great regret, would become a criminal if a Hideki Tojo put a rifle in my arms and ordered "Kill other peoples or I kill you".

  • @LuvRangiku japan was a fucked up country. it was a fucked up world at that time. Desperate times called for desperate measures . but in the essence, japan changes after the war very slowly, if at all. US's nuclear bomb left deep scars, and the cold war that followed (the fear of another nuke, coming from a country that has experienced it itsself) was definetely a factor that even in current japanese poular media left visible scars, or imprints. just look at Godzilla, Metal Gear Solid,,etc etc

  • maybe we should keep buying those toyotas and hondas!!!!

  • BEST Footage I have EVER Seen Here on YouTube Wow, thanks for Upload !

  • The Japanese lost the war, badly, miserablly. A culture that values and respects human life will ALWAYS defeat a society that does not..

    It's why the Isreali's alway beat the hell out the Arabs .

    The folks who are not scared of dying but who want to live, are far, far more dangerous than the Kamikazi pilot or suicide bomber.

  • @HunterstonB You are stupid fool ,its not israel that defeats Arabs but American power ,yes Israelis depend from loaf to arms on USA.American peoples are best in the world but they are in the grip of zionists.hitler believed his race is superior,zionists believes their race is superior as god chosen what is the difference between hitler and zionists?none.

  • @HunterstonB Are you implying that the U.S. valued human life more than the Japanese? I may be mistaken, but didn't the U.S. bomb Nagasaki and Hiroshima, which were two major CITIES with CIVILIANS? Didn't that kill hundreds of thousands?

  • Killing civilians? Go ask the Chinese about the Rape of Nanking or any of the numerous other Japanese atrocities?

    Having systematically firebombed most Japanese cities, which were more or less defenceless (the death toll in the firebombing of Tokyo was greater than both atomic bombs) it was up to the Japanese to give in.

    War is simply a killing game - you keep on killing each other till one side is ready to give in. The Japanese went on way longer than than was sensible or logicial.

  • Comment removed

  • @HunterstonB rape of nanking? prove it, this fucked up rape of nanking of yours is a huge suspect currently historians are trying to see if its real or not, its bare existance of the suspect, where the FUCK are the dead bodies? when the FUCK they were killed? HOW the FUCK did they get killed so fast and their bodies just vanished? its another one of china's fucked up hoaxes. your fucked up.

    this video is a fucked up propaganda footage.

  • @dividednation44 how to fuck is this propaganda? its historical footage

  • @miguelrules1234567 the gay fuck talking in the background

    am asking you a serious question: are you deaf? if yes, then FFFFFFUUUUCCCKKKK OFFFFF

  • @dividednation44 Hes fucking explaining whats going on there in no bias to what he is saying stupid shit

  • @miguelrules1234567 full of bullshit, its one of those theater shown propaganda lies.

    sheesh dude cmon lets solve this correctly no need for trouble

  • @dividednation44 i fail to see how its full of "bullshit" care to explain?

  • @manicx12 not to get into this arguement but please dont say the "U.S." cause the people who decided to bomb them were congress the rest of america had no vote its not like all of america said "NUKE EM"

  • a terrible war, between death and life.

  • this was one fucked up war....

  • My Grandfather fought in the land battle of Okinawa and survived.

    Semper Fi!

  • Why?

  • Great Asian women for you  ***lushfmlk.info***

  • holy shit guys, can you even imgaine being there, and watching kamakazes just fucking flying by and shit, hoping to God none of them hits. God damn soldiers are some solid creatures.

  • scary shit..hopefully it never happends again

  • at 36 seconds into the vid, does anyone know if the pilot on the parachute survived or who he was

  • Some birds can not fly in, Asian busizz4me.info

  • at 0:45 i slapped a flying mosquito with both my hands and it fell just like that! slowly turning!

  • Im so tired of Americans taking all the credit for WW2. It is true, without their effort the war would have raged on for many more years, turning out much different than today. However, you yanks didn't join until you were attacked, You did not give any thought to the millions upon millions of people being killed up until 1942, you did not contribute an effort of any matter to the war, until you yourselves were involved. But alas, rest in peace to any man, woman, or child that died in that war

  • @granpaNurgle Just to keep the facts straight...

    We got into the war in 1941 not 42.

    We sent millions of tons of supplies/aid to both Russia and the UK before entering the war.

    We had pilots that flew during the Battle of Britain.

    We provided the UK with 50 destroyers to assist with the U-Boat battle.

    Almost 2,000 aircraft of various types were sent to the UK to assist before we entered.

    So "no effort of any matter" is an incorrect statement.

    Semper Fi !

  • @Toddinfantry dude dont bother posting facts, brits are fuckin ignorant and arrogant douchebags. they are still butthurt because they lost their shitty empire.

  • @HawkXe I disagree. My response to Granpa was only to keep the facts straight, that is my mission. Many Brits are subject to bad info, revisionist history and a general misunderstanding of the role the US played in WW2. Yeah they lost an empire, but I think they are more upset that Americans proudly tell of our accomplishments during WW2, while they just took it and were silent. I don't belittle them this, only give the facts and let them do with them as they will.

  • @Toddinfantry `you said the right thing

  • @Toddinfantry SPOKEIN LIKE A TRUE AMERICAN ;) FIGHT ON BROTHER

  • @Toddinfantry Did the US Send supplies to The Soviet Union, after they invaded Poland along with The germans.

  • @counterstrikenerd321 Yes. The US supplied Russia (not the Soviet Union yet) until the end of the war

  • @Toddinfantry Lenin Took over Russia and renamed it to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. the USSR contains more than Russia, like Ukraine. They were the USSR until The fall of the Soviet Union.

  • @Toddinfantry, You don't have the faintest idea of what you are erroneously stating.

  • @Toddinfantry Self correction....it was the Soviet Union. The USSR was formed in 1922. Must be getting senile.

  • @Toddinfantry สุดยอดมากเลยพี่

  • @Toddinfantry Don't forget the aviation fuel we sent to Britain in which without the Battle of Britain would never have been possible.

  • @SpenzOT Sorry, incorrect. While we did help with fuel, the Brits had up to three months supply of aviation fuel during the BoB. The biggest thing they lacked was more planes/pilots.

  • @Toddinfantry - That is so true and always never taken into account

    What also is not talked about is that the US tried to stay out of WW 2and gets chided. Then when we believe there is a new problem, we went in, only then to be called warmongers

    So it you think the US was cowardly in not getting into WW 2 and then speak out about "US aggression/imperialism" afterward, I really don't care what you think as you will always blame the US for something and are not worth my time

  • @Toddinfantry Don't forget to add that "We killed more than 200,000 innocent Japanese civilians to revenge that they killed our soldiers and destroy our battleship at Peal Harbor"

    Hail American!

  • @mualchon go to hell

  • @mualchon Might go some way in making up for the 300,000 civilians murdered by the Japs in Nanking China December 1937. Hail Ignorance!

  • @ndemontalk keep making excuses you faggot, thats what you amerikans are only good at.

  • @dividednation44 yeah coming from your obvious German decent since you spelled americans with a K not a C what right does your nazi ass have to judge any nation after WWII? go gas some jews and blame it on bad weather you 3rd reich fuck.

  • @JESSIEEDSELL21 shut the fuck up you racist anti german piece of fucked shit i am saudi arabian you whacked fagtard. WW2 is a proof on how the outnumbered germans fought like lions, outnumbered and attaked from two sides, so as the japanese. their homes got burned to ashes, millions of innocent people died and no one gave two shits about it. i hope you will suffer a slow death by fire, freak

  • @dividednation44 in WW2 no one was innocent.

  • @dividednation44 If you're Saudi Arabian, why are you wasting time arguing about a war your country had almost nothing to do with, don't you have women to subjugate?

  • @mualchon You evidently slept through Grammar as well as History classes.

  • @mualchon It's more like a show off or experiment instead of vengeance.

  • @mualchon So, in your opinion, just sitting back and letting Japan do whatever it wanted to was a better choice of action. Do you speak Japanese or German?

  • @granpaNurgle Oh shut the fuck up.. You don't know crap.. Read some, for crying out loud.. Everything you've stated here is factually incorrect.. I would say that the Russians fought 90% of WWII.. They suffered more than any other nation beyond any shadow of a doubt.. And the UK what? Give it a rest you stooge..

  • @granpaNurgle Two words, Lend Lease.

  • @granpaNurgle You do know that there was a fleet of US Navy ships in Britain at the time? America has been cutting off supplies from Japan and supplying more than 1000% import efforts to bring war supplies to the European front? America doesn't take all the credit. Russia possibly lost THE MOST during Operation Typhoon. 1/3 people had a rifle. The other 2/3 had 5 rounds and were instructed to pick up the weapon of your comrades after they were slain.

  • @granpaNurgle Except Hitler.

  • fuck the japs.(sarcasm) well wen they make ur ps3 or something u don't mind them huh? i, tired of ppl hating the axis, it was a long time ago they r different ppl now.

  • @nestor1195 The people that supported the Axis weren't bad people either. There is no good or bad people in the war. Like in the Pacific, regardless of which side you both are essentially the same. Fighting for your country. The adoption of complete disregard for human life to serve the country's cause. For both Germany and Japan, the two main Axis forces of WWII, they had almost close to nothing before WWII. Then, they got an empire. America did the same in the Cold War as did Russia.

  • @laxjoh true. 2 much nationalism separates human rights and wat your country desires.

  • Comment removed

  • Use Atomic bomb was the only choice !

  • Yeah it needs more action

  • War today looks like a cakewalk compared to World War II. That was a "real" war indeed!

  • @chitown2251972, Who are you or I to judge Which hell was worse. Only someone who fought in two different wars could compare them.

  • @chitown2251972 What kind of war? The reason why there are less casualties now is because the capabilities of a single soldier has become much more. Also, range and efficiency has gone up in weaponry. Even still, there are real wars being fought today. You can't compare WWII with modern warfare. WWII was total warfare, which is when the entire country pushes for war efforts. Watch "Restrepo." It's in Korengal Valley, Afghanistan. Under fire several times a day. Real War on Terrorism here.

  • The naval air and sea battles were just as intense if not more crazy then the fighting on land....all that heavy ordinance just fucking blowing off on these floating cities, and huge caliber 20mm mg slugs flying everwhere with fucking planes crashing and kamakazies and firefighting....i guess its somthing of a good thing they dont have to fight wars these days that are so toe to toe and personal, i mean, relatively speaking of course....

  • Those nips were tuff little rice balls. Why didn't we just patrol the island and keep deliveries of food and ammo from getting through? We could have starved them out and saved lots of american lives.

  • @roaringwaterbay

    The U.S did starve them. 

  • WAR IS AMAZING AND SHOULD BE LOVED... so lovely watching people dieng

  • Comment removed

  • @geowar42 WHOT IVE DONE?!?!?!?

  • @socomsix19 yeah well funny when Nazis marched into Holland and killed loads of them and destroyed it. had me in stitches

  • @geowar42 Yeah to that. Those Dutch pricks were the largest collaborators with the Germans in WW2. All tarred with the same brush I guess.

    As an aside, my father-in-law was too sick on the day to do his kamakazi duty. True. And I'm a New Zealander. Huh?

  • @moyadapne oh wow, so your 1/4 Japanese?

    yeah and what that socomsix19 wrote made me angry, just stirring trouble.

    never really liked the Dutch to be honest, always up to stuff

  • @geowar42 My wife is Japanese, but  I'm a whiter than white Kiwi, of British father, and Scottish mother. My old man flew Spifires etc against the Japs, so would roll over in his grave to see what I did. The Dutch call us lazy, coz we have weekends off, while they greedily beaver away. My wife had her eyes opened in NZ, after hearing stories, and watching TV docos about what her Jap forefathers did. Made her angry, and determined to spread the word to all her friends.

  • Last moment of Great Imperial Japan.

  • japanese dogs got what they deserved.

  • @ michiganmoon suppose your right never saw it in that way

  • japan our enemy now dear friend

    germany our enemy now our friend

    iran our friend now our enemy

    remember britain was our enemy first down with england

    why ??? remember the 'red coats' they're bad people

  • Last great war? Don't see what's so great about 60 million people dead

  • @ingo1234100 Perhaps they meant great as in size rather than good.

  • lol at :44, some r-tard shoots at the plane after the pilot parachutes

  • the japanese gave a heck of fight

  • Thank you for saving Australia!!

  • fvck japan. im from philippines. they savage us

  • @CarelessWhisperrr its stuff like that. That cause wars to start, its the past. Japan bombed us in pearl harbor, but do u see me saying "fck japan because they bombed us" no. Actually my best friend is japanese, anyways as i said its the past, its better to forgive and not forget than to say u hate people for something that happened 60+ years ago.

  • @Hamptoncltn Well said, my friend, pick up the pieces and move on. Japan had politicians just like America did; however, Japanese people are amongst the finest people you can meet on the face of the planet.

  • @trevinboy very well spoken o.o

  • @CarelessWhisperrr Sorry, to hear of your loss. But Japan was the only country fighting imperialism while the Phillippines worship Spain, and even to this day, most Pinoys believe and vocalize proudly their "mixed" heritage. Hell, even the name of your country is named after a Spanish King. Japan is pure Asian and strong.

  • @CarelessWhisperrr fuck you american bitch, suck my dick CarelessWhisperrr abestos your shit, I LOVE JAPAN Kamikaze Tokkotai

  • @CarelessWhisperrr damn dude, i know my grandparents told unpleasent stories about them torturing us. fawk some japanese kamaikaze who still believe in there ww2 traits

  • @CutYourPants idk what's with japanese. sacrificing life for their emperor? that's bullshit.

  • @CarelessWhisperrr I'm with you, but I hope you don't have anything "made in Japan".... TV, computer, cars, etc....

  • @CarelessWhisperrr You dick head. Not everyone Japanese kids a savage. Little FUCKER

  • Comment removed

  • @CarelessWhisperrr So you're saying that even little kids would do that? Plus, it's been over 60 years. Why can't you guys just forget about it? Also, in Elementary School, my best friend was Filipino. See? Plus, there were lots of Japanese people who opposed the war and all the retarded stuff the government did. We admit what we've done. But we're not all terrible people.

  • @imp0ssiblew0rds Hey ball sack you can't kill millions of people and just forget about it. What if I said to a Jewish person "its been 70 years just forget about the Holocaust". You are a worthless human being and I hope you die from radiation.

  • @CarelessWhisperrr Because your stupid.

  • @CarelessWhisperrr I completely agree with you

  • Hey Nozomifuji: I've got one word for you - Nanking. Stop bitching about Americans raping Okinawans. That's the the slope calling the kettle nip.

  • Banzai!

  • The big demonstration that Okinawa residents opposed U.S. Military bases was done in this April and May. Please come to Okinawa NOW and look by yourself.

    The Battle of Okinawa doesn't end as long as U.S. bases are occupying Okinawa.

  • The people in okinawa until today suffers from American soldier's crime for a long time. The American soldier commited 6000 crimes only since 1972. Little girls raped and killed by us soldier in this 65 years(1945-2010),too.However, Japan has no jurisdiction to the us soldier's crime.

  • Calvin Sims has estimated that U.S. soldiers committed more than 10,000 rapes during the three-month campaign in Battle of Okinawa.

  • Jap.armys crime in okinawa in the battle was truth. But US soldier's rape and violence in Okinawa was enormous.

  • @Achalel

    At what point did I glorify the American invasion troops? When I said they showed kindness to my grandparents? When I said the Japanese military discriminated, subjugated, and nearly annihilated my ancestors? I am retelling the experiences of my family, no? Did I not acknowledge American atrocities in war? Is this glorification or is this simply your own prejudices guiding your perception of glorification. And from there trying to enter a fight when there wasn't one to begin with.

  • @Achalel

    You cannot treat everything you hear as absolute truth. But then again you are Japanese (or at least your profile says you are) so anything an authority figure says you automatically treat as gospel.

    And it's almost comical that you seem so fixated with American war crimes, which in comparison to Japanese war crimes are almost insignificant. The Japanese did not just commit war crimes in the heat of the moment, but they did so calculatingly and purposefully.

  • @Achalel

    I do not deny that barbarous acts were committed. War is innately barbarous in and of itself. Now addressing the mass rapes that you claim, these rapes were never factually verified, but only alleged by testimony. As I said, I do not deny that rape did occur. The combatants of war become filled with barbarous emotions, weariness, anger, and even lust. However, your claims of 'mass rape' is not factually verified and only alleged by testimony.

  • Japan started the war with the USA. THey should end it or we will. *BOMB DROPS* END OF WW2

  • @Achalel

    Sources, please.

  • War is mankind's worst invention, with its yearly self-renewing patent dating back 3000 years+...

  • @amazingdany war is no invention. Every animal fight for its territory with others. Its just sad, that we human are still animals :S

  • One of the toughest battles in the pacific, maybe the toughest

  • didn't the americans use swedish bofors anti air guns during ww2?

  • @termometen Yes they did. The 40mm in single , dual and quad mounts. One of the most effective dual purpose weapons of WW2.

  • @termometen Yes, the single, twin and quad 40mm were designed by Bofors

  • Great video man, if you want to see a movie that will blow your mind type into youtube old world secrets the omega project codes

  • i think the voice at the 0:01 says: dick!

  • i would hate to fly through that aa fire. so many tracers!

  • This is some amazing footage!

    Up close and real!

    Kudos to the cameramen for giving us this amazing experience and insight int othe battles, that was some real good pictures!
