I hope you can find more Japanese stories to tell. Good stuff.
Will do that ,so kind of you for the support Sir ,💐💐💐
I will always wonder what would have happened had FDR not insisted on, "unconditional surrender." And if FDR had done the proper thing and fired McArthur after he lost the Philippines, instead of giving him the "Congressional Medal of Honor."
The unconditional surrender came from the fact Nazi Germany promoted they were not beaten in WW1 instead were betrayed by their leadership. MacArthur should have been fired for his aircraft caught on the ground even though he knew the war had started. Was letting the pilots eat before taking off on their own bombing mission. No combat air patrol, definitely a dereliction of duty.
My mother was working in one of those aircraft factories as a teenager. It was a scary time in her life due to the air raids.
My mother worked at Jeep. My father fought on Leyte, Mindanao and Okinawa. After this, because his unit had never been in severe combat with many killed, his unit was sent to Japan for the Occupation. Units picked for Occupation were never in heavy combat, because they were expected to be civil to Japan civilians, and units with a lot of severe fighting could have individuals who might abuse civilians, so those units were sent home immediately after the war. My father was a poor boy, and sympathetic to the starving civilians, and gave food to children, but since he had duties for kitchen work, he also had a yazuka as a business buddy selling food on the black market. One thing that he did was travel to Hiroshima with the yazuka who knew a secret way in unwatched by the US Military Police - you had to have special permission to travel there. What he saw there was repeated to me at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and it made it clear there are no winners in a nuclear exchange. After going to Hiroshima, he never believed in war for the rest of his life.
My mother worked at home,i liked her food!She made me some Ovomaltine in the morning to!

@@Samlind Similar to my father who ran part of a PX in Tokyo. He wrote that he gave a lot of surplus to suffering civilians.
Interesting fact: Prince Mikasa died only 7 years ago at the age of 100.
That's really interesting Sir, did not know that ، thanks for sharing 👍
@@WW2Tales You're welcome
Excellent series. Keep up the good work.
@josephlinck1892 thank you so much Sir
I listen to every thing you make awesome stuff. History first hand as if we are actually there.
Excellent i i would be thrilled to hear more stories and testimony from Japanese veterans
The Survivor's Guilt of these men must have been intense.
The C-47 mentioned early in the video were Japanese license-built copies of the Douglas DC-3.
Over 800 were built as the L2D. Allied code name was Tabby. There is a wreck of one in subic bay in the Philippines. Would be cool to raise and restore it.
I love how it is mentioned a million Filipino casualties. Too bad he doesn't mention who killed most of them as it wasn't us. My father landed at Leyte on that first day. I have been there to see the actual spot. He fought his way across Leyte which was harder than some some. He later landed at Lingayan Gulf, which is a bit north of Manila, where he fought in the Pampanga region till wars end. I have been there to, along with Bataan, Corregidor, and Clark. That all started in 1990 and I met older Filipinos who weren't fond of the Japanese unlike younger ones today. I met my wife there and my father was quite taken by her till he passed away.
True. Japanese low rank soldiers tended to regard the Filipino who spoke English as enemy, in combatant zone. US too, never refrain from bombing indiscriminatory on the civilian area if they suspect any Japanese were remaining. All through 1950's, Filipino's anti-Japanese sentiment was very strong, based on the real experience, making a sharp contrast with Korean's ant-Japanese sentiment that didn't exist much in post war period.
What?!?! Correction the post war Koreans HATE the Japanese and collaborators. For very good reason.
@@lieutenantusubuchi674 The Koreans I've met in the 80s had a very strong anti-Japanese sentiment.
I never knew Kamikaze had the option to come back?
The Japanese "C-47" was a copy of the DC-3. The Shōwa L2D and Nakajima L2D, given the designations Shōwa Navy Type 0 Transport and Nakajima Navy Type 0 Transport, were license-built versions of the Douglas DC-3. The Japanese used the 487 manufactured extensively.
Is it possible they were actual DC-3 planes captured in early 1942 when the Phillipines fell?
I was gonna post about the C47. You beat me to it.
I love listening to ur videos
Sir we really appreciate your kind support and encouragement 🙏 it really means a lot
Really enjoyed
Glad you enjoyed
Japan started it....bad move..They had Bushido.....The US had Boeing...
I cannot imagine the decisions of the Kamakazi pilots not to kill their COs. They knew that Japan could not possibly win. They knew that killing their COs would save many Japanese lives. They knew they would lose their lives in either case. I guess that this is an example of the fact that the habit of unconditional obedience is always wrong. You ALWAYS internally question orders that conflict with basic ethics.
Yes. Sorry boss, my Nambu went off accidentally.
Perhaps you do not understand the Japanese mindset for it is complex Their society is filled with traditions, values, expressions, and thinking that is very difficult for foreigners to truely understand.
As for the Japanese soldiers, they were taught from childhood that honor was everything, and the Emporer was revered like a God. To be dishonorable was a disgrace your name and brought shame upon oneself as well as their family. Killing an officer is a true form of dishonor. Thus they were obedient and fought to the death.
Army's depend on solders not questioning orders. In many Western armies soldiers are shot if they don't follow orders. In world war I many allied soldiers followed orders to march out of their trenches to attack an entrenched position - certain death. Fighting a silly war over some Austrian royalty shot in Yugolslavia - for what. Millions of good men died. And soldiers who even talked of resisting orders were shot. And what is unethical about dying for your country? After years of European powers colonizing countries in Asia, the Japanese said "why not us". After all they were an insular country for many years until Admiral Perry appeared in Tokoyo Bay with his gunships and said "trade with us or else". Being a Kamakaze was voluntary.
Kamakazi were volunteers. And not all were pilots. Some were small boat drivers and divers. In many cases there were more volunteers then they wanted.
It's actually a lot easier than you think when you're half crunked on sake and completely orbited on amphetamines. 🤷♂️
This bot gets funnier and funnier as it finds new ways to mispronounce even the simplest of words.
It doesn't sound like a bot but rather like someone who isn't a native english speaker who, trying to keep up the fluid narration mispronouncing certain words as he reads along. Being Austrian, I think I pick up some "germanisms" in the pronounciacion. If I'm right, his english is pretty good but the speed causes some inprecisions.
Sounds like an aristocratic half-British, half-German.
It's relaxing like a cigar and a really immersive read
Yes, even making different pronunciations for the same word, in one case three variations in the same paragraph. 😂 AI, what a joke.
@@ramblerdave1339five years ago, text to speech was barely a thing. This is a quirky reading, but it's still a real advancement. Let's see how it's doing in another five years😎
Its digusting, the messes governments cause and the people are thrown into and leap into willingly.
Best Japanese books from ww2: Samurai! By Saburo Sakai, Japanese Destroyer Captain by Tamieche Hara, Midway, the battle that doomed Japan by Mitsuo Fuchida. All first hand accounts each author survivors of years of combat. All well written.
@raywhitehead730 Sir we have read Japanese Destroyer Captain ,its indeed a great book to read ,thank you so much for sharing some other valuable Japanese memoirs ❤🌹
I also read that book by Hara, the destroyer capt., a very well written book told by the torpedo professor himself, he used calculus to launch torpedos at US ships in different battles across the pacific and it was adopted by the IJN later. Truly worth a read!
Isn’t the voice computer generated?
The civilian carnage the japanese performed in the Filipinos justifies the number of enemy soldiers by the Allies. The japanese also choose to nearly demolish the old buildings, leaving only rubble behind. No simpaty for them.
What was the ingredient that supressed drowsiness? Something tells me it wasnt caffeine
I wonder if what the OP calls C-47 were in reality Japanese built L2Ds rather than captured C-47s or pre-war DC-3s purchased for airliners? 🤔
Admiral Yamamoto predicted how the war would end, but nobody was listening. His loss was a tragedy for Japan, because he was a true visionary that knew his country had to join the modern world of free societies.
Thanks for this. And an end to the present protagony (it should be a word). All war is stupid. 😎
completely insane, and yet ... perfectly logical
The bot keeps referring to Tiawan, but the Japanese called the island Formosa.
I enjoy your videos but is the audio a computer because you mispronounced many words
There's no fckin' way this dude out flew or shot down a flight of 4 F6F Hellcats that late in the war. Especially comming up off the deck at 1,500 feet. That's an exaggerated story at best.
Hellcats were F6. F4U were Corsairs
@sickritchie Plus he had previously lost an eye, in combat. The accuracy of the book has be denounced.
@@davidkeller6156 Not Saburo Sakai in Samurai ? Then sorry, and thank you.
Fantasitc to finally also hear some voices from the japanese side which I find undeservedly neglected compared to the germans for example. Both wading neckdeep through their darkest era without doubt they at least deserve equal respect, at least for the faiths and hardships of the "normal soldiers". Humans one and all.
It's hearbreaking so many Axis soldiers survived
Do the Japanese go out looking for their war dead like the Americans? That would be interesting
Remember at the time the Japanese Soldiers assumed the Americans would treat the Japanese the same way the Japanese treated those that they occupied which would have been unbearable. Had they known the Americans would treat them soooooo much better then they predicted and helped build Japan into the country it is today they would have surrendered in mass and would have killed their CO's that wanted them to fight on. Once Americans found out how they were killed by the Japanese if they surrender they too didn't surrendered very often.
Great stories and well done but I hope you can improve on the AI generated voices to do better at reading the material as it often pronounces the words incorrectly.
"Scratch one meatball."
Taiwan was not used for the island until after WW2, it was called Formosa. I suppose Taiwan is used so not to confuse those that never heard of fo Formosa.
Kamakazis were bada..
Pissing honolable self laughing. Seven missions as a kamikaze pilot! Whadda failure! I bet he runs their old comrades' association and is the only one to turn up .
LOVE the stories. the AI mispronunciation drives me insane.
Did they capture that many c-47 or is this an Ai interjection.
Oh I see
So we have a german narrating for a japanese?
“We kept our eees peelid”
Horie is pronounced “Hor e ay”, not Hore.
Figured for sure it would be a German diary by looking at the thumbnail. Holding flowers but I thought at first those were Romans… o/
This must be AI audio, since no Englishman would every pronounce "island" as "is-land", or "allied" as "ah-lee-ed".
No english speaker would. But even so, thats pretty good AI audio. I've heard mostly horrid ones.
BTW, this is the diary entry just prior to Hirohito's surrender message, in case it helps with the sequence.
5:06 - MacArthur deserves a lot of blame for that count. He could have bypassed the PIs and allowed surrender to occur, saving many lives, but his bluster required him to "return". A complicated man who did well in his assignment to Japan, but not in several other occasions.
5:53 - The US was sucker-punched, but Mac played his part here also, keeping the B-17s on the ground.
8:16 - Japanese flying goony birds?
10:55 - Aluminum was also in short supply by then, so there was likely additional weight from parts made of (substituted) steel.
13:14 - To die for no reason! What an idiotic aim!
19:42 - On a visit to China some years back, we were informed that Shanghai was the only city in China with a 'China Town'.
20:21 - Japan was on the short-strokes by then. Japan entered the war stupidly, with no one confident of victory, and now the reality was evident.
20:56 - The Japanese government was in chaos at the time.
23:41 - At 3.500#. a Zero was extremely light. A Cessna 172 weighs 2.200#
24:09 - It also loaded the wing/fuselage joint in flight.
27:50 - They also impressed many Okinawan civilians into service as Japanese army personnel, some estimated reach 100,000.
33:59 - No compass? No view of the sun and approximate time of day?
43:38 - Correct; those were the proper targets.
49:10 -You did not follow one of your teammates to assure success?
53:09 - Of course it would do nothing of the sort. By now, even the loss of a US fleet carrier would not affect the outcome of the war by one minute; and yet you continue.
54:00 - There was no 'sake of the war effort' remaining; you were trash, to be disposed of by your superiors tor their claims of a bogus morality.
56:03 - You were out of parts, fuel, and should have been out of teen-age fantasies.
57:41 - Low-octane fuel does not reduce performance. If used in an engine designed for higher-octane fuel, it simply damages the engine to the point of failure.
1:00:00 - This is the story just prior to Hirohito's broadcast of surrender. Got it.
The Japanese licence built the DC3 as the Nakajima L2D
@@katywalker8322 Did not know that. But it's not really surprising; the Oerlikon AA weapon was a Swiss patent and was used by most WWII navies.
Hindsight is always perfect. Yamamoto flatly declared to his government that Japan could never defeat the United States, the best being a negotiated peace. He said at best he could guarantee control the Pacific for six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Any longer than that and he could couldn't promise anything, and to defeat the USA meant a landing in California and a 3k cross country march to Washington. Nobody was listening.
@@osmondportifoy6332 They weren't totally ignorant. They hoped for quick early battle victories, then a negotiated settlement. They were ignorant of the American fighting spirit. Their fate was sealed when the first bomb fell on Hawaii.
@@DennisMSulliva Like the Rebs firing on Sumter.
AI fails again at reading a script!
Japanese c47?
@jagsdomain203 Sir, The Douglas C-47 was a dual engine
transport aircraft which Japan had imported from the United States before
the war.
@@WW2Tales I know what the plane is i just have never heard of it in Japanese service
Japan license built nearly 500 DC-3/C-47s. Licensed before the war, of course. The Allied code name for them was "Tabby."
I think it was designated L2D by the Japanese, and had variants like L2D2/3…etc
Sir in the memoirs the Japanese Pilot has used the exact word C-47
The spoken voice really deteriorated in this video.
Can we get a japanese accent for these? Lol
@Will-rl7lm Sir your point is very much valid ,even some one was ready to beat us yesterday for using British accent in German Memoirs ,but problem is when we switch to other accents like American ,majority of audience starts complaining that they are not willing to accept the new voice/accent
No.
Dang. Would really add I think
Get the south park Japanese accent :^D
Just listen to the story. Not all Japanese people speak in English with the accent I know you're thinking about.
Computer voice narration leaves much to be desired...
I have listened to several of these journals from both German and Japanese sides. Th AI generated voice of this one is by far the worst I have heard.
Many words mispronounced.
there is plenty of lies done by this person.
The more of these I listen to this the more I realize how completely ignorant of American power Japan was. They were doomed from December 7 onward. Their army and navy absolutely refused to work together, bad idea. Most of these reports are BS.
Is this a robot voice? If it's a person, they are sure having problems pronouncing certain words. Its almost too painful to listen too.
You noticed that too. I believe it is a computer generated voice. There are times when the computer cannot interpret the punctuation. Even someone with a sort-of-British accent would not pronounce the words the way the audio come out.
