  • As Hitler and the Germans focused on Russia, the situation in the Pacific developed to epic proportions when the Japanese air force attacked the American Naval Fleet, stationed at Pearl Harbor on the 7th of December. This immediately brought the USA into the fray, and back in the European Theater of War, Hitler now had a great deal more than Russia to worry about.

      They did declare war on Japan 7 December 1941 but I think they wanted to make it official. What I mean is the declared war on Germany 10 September 1939 and since Japan was already a member of the axis since 1937. There were Japanese submarines near Canadian coasts and did not want to be accused of aggression if they sank a submarine. At least that's what I've been able to read but yes they did declare war the same day or arguably two year prior when they declared war on Germany.

      The role-model spy Popov for Ian Flemmings James Bond personally warned FDR that the Japanese were to attack Pearl Harbor and that is why they let USS Lexington and Saratoga leave Pearl Harbor. Popov was so furious over how his warnings were largely ignored that he decided to go to Hawaii in person to warn the Naval commander but didn't make it in time. There was an idiotic decision to move the whole Pacific fleet to Pearl Harbor with a 360-degree angle for enemy attacks instead of having the a large part of the fleet staying in San Diego.

    Pearl Harbour Third Strike cancellation was Nagumo's decision as Yamamoto had made a rod for his own back by NOT concentrating his fleet in isolated groups far from the Carrier Force and despite Nagumo's Subordinates clamouring for a third strike V/Adm Nagumo feared for huge losses to his precious aircrews the third strike was therefore cancelled much to his mens displeasure.

    • @vlad78th
      @vlad78th Před 7 měsíci +2

      There was no third strike planned. Nagumo did not cancel a prepared third strike. All of it were lies spread by Fushida, the lead torpedo squadron officer who wanted to mitigate the responsability of the IJN in the defeat. The Japanese almost never focused on striking logistic. Their idea was to create the conditions of a decisive battle, no more, no less. The Kido Butai planes were heavily damages after the first two waves, less than 50% of the planes were immediatly useable and still needed to be rearmed for another strike which would have been recovered late in the afternoon exposing the carriers to enemy attacks especially since the US carriers positions were unknown. As far as Nagumo was concerned he had managed to cripple the US battleships and prevented US planes to attack the carriers. Bombing pearl harbour dry docks and fuel facilities was never part of the japanese plan of attack or secondary targets only. Only in hindsight some 20 years later did Mutsuo Fushida tell the story of a third attack cancelled by Nagumo which could have change the course of the war and prevented japanese defeat at Coral Sea and especially Midway.

      The Americans always seemed to come up with a percentage of mad names. John Wayne's real first name was Marion.
      If you go back hundreds of years, Britain also had eccentric names.
      If you go back to 500/1000 years in the UK, in court cases, you get hilarious names popping up. And street names could be utterly shocking, to modern day ears. Often the streets where 'Ladies' worked had names that we consider shocking. Gropec**t Lane is marked on ancient town maps, in several different towns. Sometimes they survive today, as Grape Lane, etc.
      But sometimes names were given to remember important history. After Hitler ordered the Czech town of Lidice to be wiped off all maps, to no longer exist, (even the cemetery was flattened, the bones dumped elsewhere), the men murdered, the women murdered or sent to death camps, a few blonde very young children sent to Germany, to be adopted by German families, people named daughters Lidice, to let the name live.
      And a town of miners in England donated one day's pay a week, to a fund to rebuild the town, post war, not knowing if England would even win the war.
      Names and the stories behind them, are a fascinating part of social history. Even now, in America, there is a strong trend for Afro- Americans to name children after expensive cars, etc - and in Russia, children could be named after tractors and the October Revolution...

      They did the same with Indian military as POWs. Would use them as target practise for snipers, as POWs. They also ate parts of Allied soldiers. Sometimes from recently killed, sometimes killed to eat. I believe the favoured cut was the big muscles at the back of the thigh.
      The war crime cases dealt with some of this, but of course, if nobody survived the massacres, there was nobody to give evidence.
      I know 3 American airmen, not identified, so as not to horrify their families, were killed on purpose for one particularly savage military officer to eat. NOT from hunger, but out of a sadistic, sick power trip.
      But the Japanese got off on a technicality. Everyone knew, and the poor chaps who had been told they had to be defence counsel, because nobody would volunteer, did such a professional job, they broke the case on technical grounds and all the senior officers were furious.

      There never was a plan for a third wave, That is all in Fujitas memory, now widely discredited. Even even if, several US planes got shot down by the now up and angry US AA. A third wave would have achieved nothing, if the damage to the returning planes from the second wave would not have made it impossible from the get-go. Also, he knew that US carriers where not in harbor. If not, the question was...Where were they? He could hang around, with the US carriers out there, while his planes were on a pointless mission, with his carriers and destroyers at the end of their fuel, or cut his losses and prepare for the inevitable next battle, preserving crucial and priceless assets of the IJN. As for Midway, Nagumo was given insufficient forces for both invasion and air cover and had to make the best of a chaotic situation.

    3:20 Hitler felt the best Germans had immigrated for America in the 1700 - 1800s. By 1790 as many as 100,000 Germans had immigrated to America, comprising an estimated 8.6 percent of the population of the 18 states. He felt he had to work with the remainder what was left in Germany, an amalgamation of a populous of perpetual weakness that could never really fully be resurrected to glory from the past, but he was still going to try to instill a new order.
    Poignant that German settlers designed and pioneered Conestoga wagons, which was used in the opening of the American Frontier.

      I'm three-quarters descended from Germans who emigrated to Texas in 1849, in the aftermath of the political unrest and "revolutions" of 1848. My grandfather had a theory that the Germans in that period who valued freedom left and came to America, and those who were OK with tyranny and oppression stayed in Germany. He believed that this was responsible for both World Wars--but perhaps that's an oversimplification.... 🤠

      The tripartite pact only came into force if they were attacked, not the ones doing the attacking. Hitler was not compelled to declare war on the US. Why he did so still isn't perfectly clear, but they were already fighting an informal war in the Atlantic and the US was already overstepping the lines of neutrality in their aid to the UK. He seems to have thought it prudent to formalize it.

    What I find so remarkable is not the fallacy that “America won the war” and that Germany would have won without its interventions but that America’s undoubted contribution made to bringing about its end SO quickly…and in two theatres.
    America’s industrial and military mobilisation in such a short time is truly astounding!
    If one considers that Pearl Harbour occurred on the eve of 1943, yet only a year and a half later the D-Day landings were able to take place whilst America was fighting a major war simultaneously in the Pacific as the major player!
    That it was able to produce all the matériels for such campaigns is surely its greatest feat and where its biggest credit should go.?

    0:51 - "The Blitz" was one of the Nazi's larger mistakes; cost a ton of pilots and A/C, did nearly nothing other kill a lot of civilians.
    3:55 - ",.,,other nations..." did their part to add to the distress, and did FDR, given his inability to understand economics.
    4:13 - This is a common claim, but the Germans managed (by political maneuverings) to pay nearly none of the reparations, regardless of the moral issues.
    7:04 - To conquer the totality of China was not within the Japanese abilities. Ever.
    10:44 - Looks like Admiral King there in the middle background.
    11:58 - It took a lot of reading to come to some understanding regarding how the Japanese ended up starting the war with the US when most of those in power understood the chance of winning was near zero.
    Cannot remember the name of the book which did make it clear, but it was a result of 'unanimity' required in government decisions and a fear of being seen as less than resolute, meaning that unless 100% of the government said "stop this stupidity!", the stupidity continued. The Japanese arranged a government which gave veto to the worst sort of war-monger, and got war as a result.
    12:36 - The Japanese had access to that supply of petroleum before starting the war, and, at the time, the ability to hire the bottoms to get it to Japan, unmolested. After starting the war, Japan now "owned" (by conquest) the oil, but it was over a thousand (vulnerable) miles from where it was needed! Japan's greatest need was for economists who could explain matters and government officials willing to listen.
    12:59 - And substitute Japanese domination.
    14:39 - Certain issues are to be agreed-upon prior to negotiations, as the Palestinians are discovering now.
    17:19 - Not only the Naval power, but the general economic power; the US must have been amazing to him, coming from Japan.
    17:38 - Not sure that statement has ever been reliably confirmed, but it was certainly true.
    30:57 - There are numerous claims that "someone should have known that the target was Pearl Harbor", none of which has ever been shown true by evidence. But there was ample evidence that war coming and Kimmel and Short were delinquent in their charge of keeping their forces at the ready. Far more to blame was MacArthur who suffered not at all for far worse failures.
    35:51 - Don't think it was Yamamoto, but the Admiral on location (Nagumo?).
    39:00 - Nothing about Hitler declaring war on the US?
    40:39 - OK, there we go!
    41:26 - Nope. His hopes were 'crushed' 9/1/39. Read "Wages of Destruction" (Tooze), and "How the War was Won" (O'brien). Modern (non optional -Vietnam) wars are economic competitions, unfortunately scored by deaths, but neither the Nazis nor Japan ever had a chance of 'winning'. The only questions had to do with how they'd 'lose'.
    44:18 - Churchill's claims exceeded his grasp, as it had for many years prior. Churchill was living on P. R. releases.
    44:43 - MacArthur, with 9 hours warning did nothing; should have been court-martialed and cashiered.
    45:24 - Perhaps Mac should have spent time training troops rather than counting his booty.
    48:05 - I'd sure like to see a cite for that claim. In several books, Genda blames the Admiral commanding the local fleet.
    50:45 - O'Brien ("How the War was Won") makes the case that that the claim was honored more in the breach.
    53:35 - Yes.
