The Stigler story always brings a tear to my eye. That man's honor is beyond measure.

[boyplcj]

Saburo Sakai's story was really a gem. Saburo Sakai spared the allied plane full of civilians, what a man.

[the_Predator]

It was so wholesome when we see the 2 pilots talking with each other at the end ( the incident )

[jarrodkopf]

Why can't we have more people like Franz Stigel? I feel his story should be taught in a lot of history and literature classes because his experience is a great example of modern chivalry, honor, and kindness.

[jomeugene]

Franz Stiegler is an incredible pilot and an amazing human being.

Strictly speaking, during the Winter War, Finland had not yet become part of the axis. Excellent stories, thank you.

The white death's story is so interesting, hero or not, he is a brave and intelligent soldier! Imo he's a hero

[williamsoltes]

The animations, while not realistic, are excellent, highly detailed, and fun to watch; the stories are unique and educational; and the narration is dynamic and engaging. Fantastic work!

[Riggs]

“No bullets fly” is one of my favorite stories I had a fascination for it everytime I have read it.

[lammy]

Saburo Sakai is probably one of Yarnhub's best works yet.
Hahah, the only one that brought some tears, I AINT CRYIN THO!

[Noble_]

The one with Franz stigler and the bomber one, man that brings tears to my eyes everytime, that enemies became friends and died together and man their 2 planes at the end melted my heart to

7:50 Reminds of a quote from the division series.
"Killing is easy, notice I didn't say killing people is easy because if you think of them as people, well it suddenly just gets that much harder."-Aaron Keener, Vangaurd.

I got to meet saburo sakai at the opening of the nimitz museum at Fredericksburg Tx in the early 90s. He allowed me to get a photo of the two of us. I wish very much i could have gotten to spend some time with him.

What a great documentary this is! You have covered so many theatres of war very well. Thank you! As a New Zealander whose father fought against the Italians, Germans and finally the Yugoslav Communists in WW2 I had a European Centric View of WW2. However I had 3 Uncles who fought the Japanese. All were New Zealanders.
I have been fascinated by Japanese Aviation Technology and Naval Technology. I have a great deal of respect for the Japanese and Chinese for that matter.
Please make more of these programmes as I think the have been a neglected part of our history. I Love Japan as I do with South Korea and Taiwan, plus many other Nations in the Pacific Rim.
There is something magical about Japanese Battleships, Cruisers, Aircraft Carriers and Submarines!

I remember a Galland interview where he said in Spain he preferred open cockpit. That way he could smell the oil that enemy combatants burned. An added advantage. I was like goddamn. I never thought about that.

[Daniel-jguk]

It might be interesting for some to know that the descendants of Mr. Galland are running a restaurant in the town of Herne, Northrhine-Westphalia, Germany, these days.

The best story imo is one that never gets told:
The tale of Fritz Klingenberg, and how he, one squad, and a drunken sidekick captured the capital of Yugoslavia.

[cammobunker]

I think the best Saburo Sakai story is him accidentally joining what he thought was a flight of Zeros but turned out to be a squadron of 15 F6F Hellcat fighters. He managed to not only avoid being killed, but also escaped from them with no damage. He was able to use their superior numbers against them, He was of course a master aviator, and the US pilots were nowhere as skilled or experienced as he was, but it's still a remarkable story-and was witnessed and verified by US officers at the time in debriefing. This was 1944 and the old Zero was thoroughly outclassed by the Hellcat, so only an incredibly skilled pilot could have pulled it off.

Just because they're the enemy doesn't mean they're evil.
