    This is the second lecture in our free online course on World War II featuring military historian Victor Davis Hanson.
    World War II, the greatest armed conflict in human history, encompassed global fighting in unprecedented ways. This course analyzes Allied and Axis investments and strategies that led one side to win and the other to lose. It also considers how the war’s diverse theaters, belligerents, and ways of fighting came eventually to define a single war.
    Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
    The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
    By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

      @@phildouglas9086 I'm reading the data on the website of the NALS, and it contradicts what you wrote. 1) The survey asks for education level, but it doesn't ask which college was attended, or whether the adult was "ivy league." 2) The survey lists adults as either Below Basic, Basic, Intermediate or Proficient. The only "pass" is to be Basic and above. Proficient is defined as being able to analyze and understand complex and challenging concepts and tasks. 3) Among all college grads, only 0.5% didn't pass, not the 43% that you mentioned. In fact, 53% were Intermediate and 31% were Proficient. This is compared to a 13% fail rate among high school grads and a 4% Proficient rate.The NALS data is here: nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d10/tables/dt10_393.asp. Where are you getting your data?

    Being that most of the available programming thrust upon us is mindless garbage I lean towards history & documentaries. Most of the WWII stuff just plays the same old footage, facts, & commentary, overlaid with some dramatic music, and I most often fall asleep. This guy has me hanging on EVERY word, and sometimes backing up a bit, to replay & make sure I understood exactly. Not a word wasted, and the focus on how all the small parts tie into the big picture is what I've been missing in my studies!

One being he is a military historian which is why he is a professor with a PHD. Taught military history at Stanford U. Calling him out as a right winger on Fox News is a bit rich coming from an obvious Lib in terms of somehow discrediting him.

    When the world went crazy and threatened those who would not drink the cool aid this man stood firm to his beliefs and the pursuit of truth. Many great minds were either too scared or too ignorant to take that brave stand. He’s one of the few who risked serious real life consequences in order to stay true to himself and those he educates. The few brilliant and brave people like him who stood up even though it was dangerous should always be recognized and treasured by the public. This man was put to the test and proved his character and seriousness in what he is saying/doing/teaching and deserves an extra amount of trust and respect. I will never forget that and enjoy his work as much as possible. He proved in the modern age he truely would have been one of the few if born in WW2 Germany to not stay silent and work against the government not just go along out of fear like everybody else.

    Simply outstanding. My father served in World War Two and spoke of things which must have been utterly shocking to a West Virginia boy who grew up in the '30s. He had pictures of Corregidor, blasted by fighting, and of the cliffs on Okinawa where Okinawan noncombatants had not long before thrown their babies and children off cliffs onto the rocks and sea below, and then had jumped to their deaths, rather than endure the shame of defeat. I've seen videos of Japanese women training in groups to fight to the death with sharpened sticks rather than be shamed by defeat. The decision to use the nuclear weapons in the hope of perhaps shocking the Japanese out of their cultural deathtrap, and thus save uncountable human lives by avoiding the far, far bloodier alternatives takes on a degree of clarity. And this in the context of Dr. Hanson's discussion of the Allied horror of the experience of the loss of a young generation in WWI.

    It is often understated the losses of allied air forces during world war two. The Eight Air Force alone lost 26,000 dead and 47,000 wounded. The entire US Marine Corps during all of WWII had lost 24,511 killed and 68,207 wounded. RAF bomber
    command lost 55,573 kill in action out of a force of about 125,000 airmen.

      +Samuel Church However, if you were a new recruit into the U.S. services, your chances of being killed or wounded were about 1-in-35 for U.S. Navy, and U.S. Army Air Force, about 1-in-15 for U.S Army ground forces, and about 1-in-7 for U.S Marine Corps. USMC much smaller than USAAF, USA and USN, so the actual number of casualties is lower, but the percentage of casualties per unit engaged is actually higher for USMC.

    This is a brilliant analysis. I lived through the revisionist 1970s where many of my history teachers at school where it was frequently taught that the bombing campaign was a waste of men and resources. It was very negative in concept, and ignored the wider picture. So it is heartening to hear a different view.

      There's nothing brilliant about his analysis. It's the same analysis from every establishment sector. Nothing new here at all.

    I'm watching this after finishing Churchill's MEMOIRS OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR. Hanson's marvelous lecture is helping me tie some loose ends together. Because Churchill was writing from a British perspective, his account is naturally Eurocentric, with relatively little space devoted to the war in the Pacific. Hanson's emphasis on the Pacific theater helps to fill some gaps. Thank you, Professor Hanson and Hillsdale. On to the next episode!

    A NOTE: When the war started, the Navy snatched up a few math teachers from high schools (my Papa was one--brand new teacher from UCLA/USC) to become teachers of navigation at Pensacola. The Navy put the group through Nav training, dressed them as officers, and gave them gold bars (No OCS). Papa was brilliant, so they were wise to select him. As with most, Papa wanted to get out there and fight; and he was, eventually, able to become a navigator in the Pacific Theater. (I am, obviously, so proud of him)
