Jesus, imagine being a broken soldier, afraid with no moral left waiting for your commander to come and boost your spirits, then just to hear that he got shot down by the Americans while on the way.
Yamamoto was kind of a tragic figure. He was already in the twenties aware that instead of huge Battleships, aircraft carriers were the key to naval supremacy. He studied at Harvard, and therefor was well aware of the industrial power of the US. Therefor he tried to prevent a war with the United States at all cost, but he could do little against the warmongering nationalistic admirals, generals and politicians in Japan. So in the end he had to fight a war he never wanted. He planned the attack on Pearl Harbor because he knew that Japan has only about a year where they can advance until the US will outproduce and outnumber them greatly. So his plan was to make sudden strikes so he can negotiate peace with the Allies as soon as possible and not have to fight them in a long war.
Spot on! Admiral Isokoru Yamamoto was definitely Japan’s most tragic, in hindsight even sympathetic, combatant. In attacking Pearl Harbor he knees his days were numbered.
Tragic figure....hardly : if you’re opposed to something that you know will cause millions of dead and untold destruction on your country the courageous man RESIGNS. It’s that simple.
Michel Kerger Not really when you’re the commander in chief of the combined fleet, have close relations with the imperial family, and very popular among your men and other officers. Resigning” in this case would certainly be seen as an act of treason and Yamamoto would be executed.
Another source said Yamamoto was hit by at least 2 .50 caliber rounds, including one to the head, which makes me wonder how much of a head he'd have after being hit by that size round.
It wasn't very badass, I think it was quite tragic. Yamamoto was against the war against the USA from the outset, and tried everything he could to prevent it. In the end, he became one of the countless victims of the behemoth his superiors woke up from its slumber. I hope he's at peace
The shots look a bit too clean for a 20mm, so I think it was the 50.s that made those holes. The 20mm on the p38 wouldve caused massive shrapnel holes on a lightly armored bomber like the betty
Thank you again Forrest for this video. After just watching the movie "Midway" at the theater, of course Admiral Yamamoto was a central part. At the end of the film, the producers clearly explain what happened to each key figure of the battle, American & Japanese. For Admiral Yamamoto, they said our codebreakers knew his flight path, date & time, & our fighters shot his plane out of the sky. But now, thanks to you, I know how his life really ends. Can't wait for your next video.
Thanks for the perspective on this historical event! My father was a side-gunner on a B-29 and told many stories of his many flights, from Tinian, Okinawa, and ultimately over Tokyo. He said his air group was separated by a chain-link fence from a couple of other B-29s that had no armaments, they practiced taking off and landings..ultimately one was the Enola Gay. Dad's plane was Angel-in-Da-Skies.
This video sent me on a search to find out more about Ballale. It's amazing how much history there is on a tiny island most people have never heard of. Bless the souls of the British POWs who were murdered there.
No suggestions what to post from me, just support. Everything you cover is thorough and paints a new perspective on history bringing all the loose ends full circle. I don't care what you post, just post more. Keep on keepin on buddy.
*Imagine dying fighting a war you tried to prevent....with a strategy you were against. Imagine you tried talking every sensible logic/ideas with everyone....only to have your ideas shot down and for you to be appointed the leader in an attack you wanted no part of. What a tragic story...*
Thanks Forrest. Your videos really make these events seem so much more real to me. May god bless our veterans! My humble requests: the Boston Marathon bombings and Stevie Ray Vaughn's helicopter crash.
Another great insight to history. And to think I ended up on your site here today "exactly" 77 years after the fact. Amazing. Love your history reviews w/ google earth. Most impressive.
Another new subscriber here, have watched several of your vids, find them informative and entertaining. I would like to point out at the 6:07 mark, the holes on the tail you think are bullet holes are actually very recent damage to the airframe done sometime after 2015, not from aerial rounds fired in 1943. The image starting at the 5:24 mark looks like a screen shot from a 2015 vid of the site, and the image at the 6:07 marks looks like a screenshot from a 2018 video. In the 2015 screenshot, there are no holes in the tail, and the fuselage is still attached the the empennage. In the 2018 vid, there are now holes in the tail, and the top half of the fuselage is no longer attached to the tail. Those holes look like pieces of the aircraft skin cut out by souvenir hunters. They are too square in shape and are lined up between the internal structure of the tail where a hand held knife knife would be able to cut out the thin skin between the thicker structural ribs. I've seen examples of this while I was training in aircraft BDAR (Battle Damage Assessment Repair/Recovery) in the military.
Yamamoto was a military genius. The war could have go on for a long time. We could have even lost Australia or the northern island of New Zealand. Yamamoto being shot down is the first time I think that America has ever publicly admitted to giving the order to assassinate a political/military figure. Which why so many P-38's were used.
Azriel They never had a chance, I don’t think the battle of the coral sea was there chance of an invasion, battle of midway makes more sense. If the 4 carriers hadn’t sunk they would be a great help for a Australian invasion but it doesn’t mean they can defeat Australia, I bet they would manage to land but the US wouldn’t let go of such a large ally in the pacific they would defend Australia to death. The Japanese can’t take a long war and eventually the US industry would be finish producing a lot of carriers and ships. That would overwhelm the Japanese navy, no matter how great of a mind you think of Yamamoto, the power of American Industry and economy will ultimately be the weight he can’t take. War can not be won by minds alone but by statistics and resource as well.
Awesome videos. I do this sort of thing frequently on google maps, it's so fascinating. It's great to see an even more detailed look at it. I'd love to see the black hawk down situation or maybe miami dade shootout in more detail. The original target building still exists in mogadishu but the durant crash site now has a building on it.
I love how clear your vids are and I just subbed. Can you make a video about the battle of Philippine sea and leyte gulf? This would be interesting in google map perspective
A devastating blow to the Japanese forces during world war II, which lead to a domino effect of imperial japanese defeat. Great video forrest, Id love to see you do one on the German operation to rescue Mussolini from the Italy prison in the mountains using gliders and paratroopers
Cool stuff, Forrest! Tho it seems that people want sites that are already well known, I think it would be a great idea to feature some more obscure or less-known sites that have very interesting backstories. Just a thought.
I never knew this... I’m a little ashamed to admit that, but I’m also thankful for the history lesson. May I make some recommendations for future videos? How about Gettysburg, The location of the Donner Party tragedy, and the crash site of either Patsy Cline and or Jim Reeves? Keep up the great work. Thank you sir and subscribed!
Hag,,,for your info, the pilot of one of the P-38"s spotted a plane he felt might be Yamamoto's he moved into position to commence his attack, in the process he "pulled" the trigger to clear his guns, and to his surprise he hit the target, it was the Admirals plane, down it went. This was told by the pilot of "that" P-38
Outstanding, the war in the Pacific is so interesting, our boys fought for our freedom and that is not an exaggeration. Thank you for posting, great job!
I believe there is gun camera footage of the shoot-down. I’ll dig around to see if I can find it. The P-38 was a very capable, superb aircraft and a much feared opponent by the Japanese airmen. Thanks for the video.
I love how you explain in simple for viewer to understand. Thank you for what you did. But If you can go little bit more detail, can you tell what kind of canon/bullet that American posses, that shoot and kill the general?
Cool Thanks.... My dad was a teenager in the Navy over there during that time. Said they went on a souvenir mission, saw a Japanese Officer laying there out of a Japanese Betty Bomber with all these medal on him, no one wanted his sword because it was damaged. Later he found out it Was Admiral Yamamoto. He had me watch films on Guadalcanal alot. Never could find where Yamamotos sword ended up.
I'm sorry to tell you but the Admirals body was recovered the next day and his ashes were inturned after a state funeral in Tokyo and his ancestral home.
@@g2macs Thank you, for the information. I’am glad he was returned to his homeland and family. ☮️ peace not war! We need to talk before we take up arms against one another!

@MysteryFan ; I was intimately involved with charts and maps while in the U.S. Navy, if you give me any Lat. Long., I can generalize the location in my head. Never wondered where Tim Buc tuu was, for some reason.
Lindbergh was ~1 year too late to help with this intercept. This mission was at the upper end of the P-38's normal ~7 hour radius with drop tanks and standard fuel management, but it was feasible without modifications. Lindbergh joined the 433rd F.Sq. (P-38s) in late June 1944, ~14 months later, and gave his talk on July 3. Briefly, he knew that USAAF planes were overbuilt to withstand their entire performance envelope, and could fly non-combat legs on lean mixtures with no short-term damage. Long-term damage is not much of an issue because warplanes get replaced in cycles before then. In his talk, he taught his squadron to reduce 2200 => 1600 rpm, auto-rich => auto-lean, and low => (slightly) high(er) manifold pressure, and thus extend 7 hours => 9 hours aloft, or +30% range. On the next mission on July 4, they flew 6h 40m and the lowest fuel on landing was 160 gallons, enough for another 2+ hrs at 70 gallons per hour. Lindbergh left on July 7, so he was with them barely 1.5 weeks. Apparently he first flew the P-38 on June 20, so he did all that in 2.5 weeks. Engines are engines. www.charleslindbergh.com/wwii/

@BC Bob very, very true...
6:30 P-38's were deadly having both 50 cal MGs and 20 mil cannon. Those holes look a lot like 20 mil hits.
The shots look a bit too clean for a 20mm, so I think it was the 50.s that made those holes. The 20mm on the p38 wouldve caused massive shrapnel holes on a lightly armored bomber like the betty
Sketchboi well the g4m1 betty had no armor except for the seal sealing tanks
They were .50 caliber armor-piercing incendiary.
Those aren't bullet holes. You can see earlier pictures and there are no holes in the tail. People have been cutting pieces out of it.

Military leaders are not "assassinated". They are the enemy and you kill the enemy.

I think Charles Lindbergh had a small role in this, by leaning out the carburetors on the P-38 Lightnings to get the extra range out of them...
Lindbergh was ~1 year too late to help with this intercept. This mission was at the upper end of the P-38's normal ~7 hour radius with drop tanks and standard fuel management, but it was feasible without modifications.

On the next mission on July 4, they flew 6h 40m and the lowest fuel on landing was 160 gallons, enough for another 2+ hrs at 70 gallons per hour. Lindbergh left on July 7, so he was with them barely 1.5 weeks. Apparently he first flew the P-38 on June 20, so he did all that in 2.5 weeks. Engines are engines. www.charleslindbergh.com/wwii/
