Can you do the following for the next men of valor: Joseph vitori - fooled enemy soldiers by running between machine gun nests. Sylvester antolak - charged over 200 meters on flat terrain I. Order to capture an enemy machine gun nest. Edward Carter - single handedly captured and enemy garrison.
Rest easy now warrior 🙏... I sincerely hope capt Flaherty found some level of peace before his death , but I seriously doubt he did . Most people will never know how much of themselves our warriors really give during times of conflict. Way too many will never get that back and it usually spells doom .... heartbreaking
Theres SO many more great soldiers you can do. Heres a few guys id like to see included Simo Hayha, a finnish sniper who has the highest confirmed killcount ever with at least 505 confirmed kills to his name. Erich Hartmann, the highest scoring ace of all time, served with the Luftwaffe and had 352 kills and was never shot down Michael Wittmann, the highest scoring tanker in history. He had 135 tank kills serving in the 1st SS. Primarily on the eastern front.
Theyre... functional. Yeah, thats a good word to describe them. Definitely the worst infantry rifle of the war. Especially next to the Enfield, Mauser, or Garand
Agreed. I looked through the comment with the time marks for the different segments and was immediately disappointed MSgt Chapman was not covered. (As a note, the USAF uses "MSgt" to denote the rank/grade of Master Sergeant/E-7) In fairness to simple history though he did do a dedicated video on MSgt Chapman.
Im sure you were already told this, but tldr all comments, but Fort Jackson is in SOUTH CAROLINA, not North Carolina...good vids tho, i love your channel
😂😂😂 that line where the the staff searhebt says what the hall is this about flaggertus small stature 😅😂😂😂n he showed up everyone one thi that’s how u do it
Here is a fascinating article I found about China history and their enormous contributions to ww2 that didn't get much attention. And I quote Chinese people saw famines, conquests, invasions, diseases and natural disasters. We saw empires fell and raise in front of our own eyes and kept records in books and writings. We have done this and experienced that. The period of history we are in now is called modern history. There were 5000 years before and likely 5000 years that follow our time in this world. Let me take you back through the history of US-China relations. Japan invaded China in 1937 and brought World War II to the Far East and the pacific theaters. The US waited until 1941 to official send aids to help China after the bombing of the Pearl Harbor that took place in the same year and directly sent troops to China in 1945, a total 9 years after the invasion started. The US likely saw a buffer zone between it and Japan that China created in the homeland. China distracts attention and separate the military presence of Japan in two places - mainland China and the Pacific Ocean. Japan couldn’t concentrate its main forces to fight off the US in the pacific thanks to the sacrifices made by the Chinese. The US exaggerated its contribution in the “China theater” thereafter when it saw needs to criticize the “foul treatment” of it by the Chinese. Politicians and scholars who agree with this would likely to point out the contribution of the US in the war, including: The United States was “the world’s arsenal” in the fight against Japanese and German fascism. within a very short period of time, the United States mounted a large-scale wartime mobilization effort that produced 150 battleships, aircraft carriers, and escort carriers; 120,000 other types of seagoing vessels; 300,000 planes; 100,000 tanks and armored vehicles; 2.4 million vehicles of various description; 40,000 howitzers and pieces of artillery; 2.6 million machine guns; and 41 billion rounds of ammunition. By 1944, the U.S. was supplying two-thirds of the military equipment and materiel used by the Allied nations, including China. The U.S. produced twice as many aircraft as Japan and Germany combined (according to data supplied by The National WWII Museum, New Orleans). The U.S. Navy annihilated Japan’s Imperial Navy, the lifeline of the Japanese empire. U.S. forces sank a total of 611 Japanese warships and naval vessels (including 21 of Japan’s 25 aircraft carriers, and Japan’s only two Fusō-class dreadnought battleships), as well as 2117 merchant vessels, for a total of 9.74 million tons. Over 400,000 Japanese sailors were killed in the attacks. The combined total for the other Allied nations was 45 Japanese warships and naval vessels sunk, as well as 73 merchant vessels, for a total of 280,000 tons. The sole contribution of the Chinese navy during World War II was the sinking of three Japanese merchant vessels. While contesting the Japanese navy at sea, U.S. forces also dealt a devastating blow to Japanese air power. The U.S. succeeded in destroying over 20,000 Japanese aircraft, but at a cost of 14,533 of its own aircraft (according to The World War II Data Book, John Ellis, 1993). Headquartered in Kunming, the U.S. Fourteenth Air Force (formerly known as the “Flying Tigers”) was the only functional combat air force in the Chinese theater of war. To aid China, they flew over the “rooftop of the world” to airlift 650,000 tons of much-needed military supplies to the Chinese. In the course of flying these perilous missions over the Himalayas (referred to by pilots as flying “over the hump”), the Fourteenth Air Force lost over 500 planes and 468 pilots in crashes. By the end of the war, the Fourteenth Air Force had over 20,000 troops and 1,000 aircraft based in China. Despite various restrictions on their activities, the Fourteenth Air Force shot down or seriously damaged 2,908 Japanese aircraft, at a loss of only 193 aircraft on the American side. They also sank or destroyed Japanese merchant vessels totaling 2.1 million tons, 99 Japanese warships, and 18,000 smaller vessels transporting Japanese troops and supplies along China’s inland waterways. Bombing raids carried out by the U.S. Fourteenth Air Force demolished 1,225 locomotives, 817 bridges, and 4836 trucks, killed nearly 60,000 Japanese troops, and guaranteed American air supremacy in the Chinese theater, effectively preventing further Japanese attacks. Due to the severe fuel shortages and the collapse of railway supply lines caused by U.S. Air Force attacks, the Japanese Sixth Area Army determined that it had no choice but to retreat from southern China. The United States destroyed Japanese land forces and disrupted troop supply. The U.S. destroyed far more Japanese troops than any other Allied nation. According to a report by the U.S. Army Chief of Staff, in the period between Pearl Harbor and the end of the war, the total number of Japanese troops wiped out on the Asian Front was 1.5 million. (This figure includes only those killed or permanently wounded in combat, or taken as prisoners of war; it does not include non-combat deaths or troop attrition.) Seventeen percent of these occurred on Chinese battlefields, and eleven percent on battlefields in India or Burma; the remaining 72 percent were wiped out by U.S. forces single-handedly. The American military was also responsible for the vast majority of fatalities among elite overseas divisions of the Japanese Imperial Army. Through technological innovation and the invention of the atomic bomb, the U.S. fundamentally altered the course of the war. However, they ignored that China had been fighting the war longer than any other country, as well as the difference in the nature of the war for the Chinese from them: for the Chinese, it was a war to liberate their homeland from invading forces who had a larger number of modern weaponries and well-trained troops. The contribution of the Chinese to the pacific theater was immense, and was disproportionate to the recognition it gained at the end of the war. Pointed out in an opt-ed. run by the NYT, it reads; China’s resistance to Japan is one of the great untold stories of World War II. Though China was the first Allied power to fight the Axis, it has received far less credit for its role in the Pacific theater than the United States, Britain or even the Soviet Union, which only joined the war in Asia in August 1945. The Chinese contribution was pushed aside soon after the conflict, as an inconvenient story in the neat ideological narrative of the Cold War. Though far weaker and poorer than the mighty United States or the British Empire, China played a major role in the war. Some 40,000 Chinese soldiers fought in Burma alongside American and British troops in 1944, helping to secure the Stilwell Road linking Lashio to Assam in India. In China itself, they held down some 800,000 Japanese soldiers. The costs were great. At least 14 million Chinese were killed and some 80 million became refugees over the course of the war. The atrocities were many: the Rape of Nanking, in 1937, is the most notorious, but there were other, equally searing but less well-known, massacres: the bloody capture in 1938 of Xuzhou in the east, which threatened Chiang’s ability to control central China; the 1939 carpet bombing of Chongqing, the temporary capital, which killed more than 4,000 people in two days of air raids that a survivor described as “a sea of fire”; and the “three alls” campaign (“Burn all, loot all, kill all”) of 1941, which devastated the Communist-held areas in the north. Maybe you will say “oh that’s all the contribution of China in the war? The US killed over 74% of all the Japanese forces during the war. It’s like comparing an elephant to a mouse.” Well, don’t forget this was China’s naval forces during the war: The Chinese navy in 1937, on the eve of the Japan Invasion only had Ping Hai and Ning Hai, two cruisers that were considered “powerful” and “modern” while the rest all consisted of gunboats. Ironically, these two sister ships, were designed and built by the Japanese navy. They were defeated by the IJN during the Japanese assault on Kiangyin Fortress, during the battle of Shanghai. And don’t forget this was the army of China during the war: But what did China gain from that contribution? At the Yalta Conference in February 1945, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked for Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin’s participation in the Pacific War, and promised to recognize Soviet gains in Asia, which included military basing rights, a railroad across the Chinese northeast, and the “status quo” in Mongolia - by which Stalin meant its final separation from China. Chiang Kai-Shek was furious when he learned the terms in the agreement. China was not only not recognized as a great power of the world, but it was humiliated by the so-called allies. Chiang was reported to write down “It’s an insult; they really see China as their vassal” in his diary. There is an entire White Paper written on U.S.-Sino relations during 1918-1945, and F.D.R.’s blinder eye toward Chiang Kai-Shek’s persistent requests for aid. During the civil war between KMT and CCP, the US keeps sending aids to both sides to balance out their powers and numbers so they could fight a longer war while the US benefited from the money made in military purchases. -Wendi Qiu
