  • Why in earth dies the narrator keep saying "peoples liberation armynavy" that's bizarre as hell
  • @stevehansen5477
    "Peoples Liberation Army Navy" sounds like the current organization of the Chinese military. Never heard the phrase used in conjunction with the military of WWII Japan.
  • @sgt.grinch3299
    The Doolittle Raid was a harbinger of things to come. Eventually, there were hundreds of American aircraft flying in the skies of Japan. The Military Leadership asked for a complete butt whopping. The people of the US were more than happy to issue one in full force. I find it fascinating that the Japanese Leadership believed they even had a chance to create an empire.
  • Whatever the explanation for the Aleutians adventure it was one of the stupidest moves during WW2.
  • @superted6960
    Yamamoto's abilities appear to have been so limited you wonder why the Americans subsequently bothered to shoot his plane down.
  • @Squidstryx
    American People's Liberation Navy?? now I'm convinced that this is a Chinese channel.
  • @isilder
    3:45 AI reader !!!! "Midway Michigan" ... The text is Midway MI . AI recognised its a location, and so treated MI as the contraction for Michigan !!
  • @randywarren7101
    This isn't a bad channel. There is one or two omissions that I can see. Should have maps to show where fleets started and finished. Also have photos of ships and major officers as they were named!
  • @yannistsili6585
    I wonder. If Yamamoto, who lost four carriers, was one of Japan's best navy strategists, how bad were the worst?
  • @sgt.grinch3299
    Battleships were included in the Carrier Battlegroups once the fast ships were built. The slower ships were used to provide air and long range cover for convoys and troop movements.
  • @erikr007
    Sometimes "MI" (as in "Operation MI") is pronounced "Michigan", eg. around 3:24
  • @jmrodas9
    It is indeed very hard to imagine why the Japanese attacked the Alelutians. They occuppied
  • @tonybanke3560
    A lot of if's in their battle plans. No wonder they lost.
  • @sgt.grinch3299
    Please post the names of the ships in the pictures in the future. I’m not an expert with Japanese ships and I’m sure that I’m not the only one. Thank you for your consideration Sir.

    Good presentation. It also has FAR fewer pronunciation errors. A couple have been noted by others (e.g. Michigan) One other (very minor) one occurs at 35:04. The word said here is "Albeit". It is mispronounced as "able it" instead of 'all be it" Here's a dictionary description: "Albeit is a conjunction meaning “even though” or “although.” It's always written as one word, not as “all be it.” “Albeit” is used to introduce a subordinate clause that qualifies or contrasts with the information given in the main clause of a sentence. is a conjunction meaning “even though” or “although.” It's always written as one word, not as “all be it.” “Albeit” is used to introduce a subordinate clause that qualifies or contrasts with the information given in the main clause of a sentence."

    Thia seems to go completely against several of the other accounts of the Midway plan in the series. I am unclear what the authority for this is. Saying that Nagumo was expected to surprise Midway cannot be correct. We have Fuchida's account, mentioned in the series, of the war gaming of the attack which showed that Nagumo was at risk if US carriers were around (although the results were cooked in Japan's favour), and he was warned to take precautions. It reminds me a bit of Falkenheins post WW1 book saying he never intended to capture Verdun which has been questioned by historians. The commentary is still poor - it misses the minus in eg D-Day minus three although it did manage to pronounce the 'Aleutians' correctly all the time. However while it calls the Midway op MI it runs AI together as aye
  • @Adiscretefirm
    Japan needed air strips in the western Aleutians for the 30 clear days a year search planes could see anything
  • @sgt.grinch3299
    Another excellent series. Yamamoto failed to understand American anger and passion for battle. The entire history of the US is replete with war. Sneak attacking was a substandard tactic and proved costly.
