TARAWA 2 of 3 WWII RARE COLOR FILM

Now, there, there is another example. In India there were... Why India? In this world. As in the, within our memory, there are two great wars, world war number one, world war number two. We have experienced. So I think some of you or many of you have not experienced what is the war number one in 1914 it was started, and I think none of you were born in 19... (laughs) So I have seen I was a child at that time. The war was declared in 1914. So beyond these two world wars, there were, there were another two great world wars. That is mentioned in the history of the epics, epics of India, Ramayana and Mahabharata: the war between Rama and Ravana and the war between the two cousin-brothers, Kurus and Pandava. But you'll be surprised. In these two wars God is the hero, practically. In the war between Rama and Ravana... Rama is also the Personality of Godhead, incarnation of... And Krsna was also present... In two wars the God is present. You see? God is present. You see? And Hanuman. Hanuman, for the sake of pleasing the Lord, he set fire to the empire of Ravana, to the empire of the Ravana. And here also you find that Arjuna, he fought for the sake of the Supreme Lord Krsna. So fighting, fighting is not bad, provided it is fought for the, for pleasing the Supreme Lord. And fighting is also necessary sometimes. So we cannot make the world nonviolent.

Every time I see "protect a cow" at the end of these videos, it makes me want to eat a bacon cheeseburger.

@zulubro The Japanese did not have good small tactical radios. One of their great failings during the war. They really didn't do much in the way of research and improvements to radio or radar.

[zulubro]

the Japanese didn't have a wireless radio contingency plan in place in case the land line was cut? seems like an inexcusably negligent oversight

@ebusitanus Actually, while a lot of this footage is not Tarawa, it is all actual footage. Bloody Tarawa was made using all actual footage of the battle and used footage from Hatch and other correspondents.

@MelbShufflerInTheUS That was a scene taken out of "Bloody Tarawa" not actual real footage.
