World War 2 in the Pacific - The Final Decision | Episode 3 | Documentary

The War in the Pacific is at last start to go America’s way. Yet Japan is more determined than ever to fight to the death. The idea - to defeat as many Americans as possible & test if the United States will have the stomach for a long fight. This way, Japan could come out of the war with something.

The Americans, meanwhile, are doing everything they can to break Japan’s will – including launching the most ruthless aerial fire-bombing campaign the world has ever seen. Will a new secret U.S. weapon offer an even quicker way out & prevent a bloody invasion of Japan?

We are so fortunate that this material is permanently available via the internet. This particular documentary is so well produced and the narration is first class. Many thanks to those responsible for this from an 87 year old Englishman February, 2024.

This was very heartbreaking and hard to watch. I was born in 1971 and am EXTREMELY thankful to ALL American soldiers who fought in this and any war that allows me the freedom to do and have the things that I have. If you are fighting soldiers that will kill themselves in order to demolish you, I can surely understand the drastic measures used to end this war! 😭😭😭

It's 70+ years since the war ended. As I watch videos of the war, all I can think of is; we are watching the death's of our Grandfather's and Great Grandfather's. Those who died never saw or knew of their children born to them. Those of us who knew of their ancestors, carry the pride knowing they fought and died to preserve our freedoms.

The brave men who fought for our country cannot be undersatated....war is absolute hell.😢

[charlesmoeller-vunq]

Stunning! All High Schools need to show in History classrooms. I wonder what Japan teaches about WW2. Thank you so much for your hours upon hours of research, planning, and production.

[gangster]

All those who condemn the atomic bombing of Japan need to see this video. It offers a realistic perspective of what America was facing if forced to invade the Japanese mainland. *RIP* brave fighting men who fought and died in that dreadful Pacific war

[peterwiebewall]

This is so horrible😢. The saying is true, "War is hell for both sides, and there are no winners in war. Some lose more than others, but there are no winners."

[wymptsu]

The loss of human life is overwhelming.The world owes a great debt of gratitude to America, God bless America

[daveblackburn]

An outstanding three part series on the war in the Pacific. A lot of history in this series. Glad I had the chance to see it. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate your awesome videos. Respectfully herr Dave blackburn

[FutureMythology]

This video provides a gripping look into the final stages of the War in the Pacific during World War II. It's a stark portrayal of Japan's determination to fight to the end and America's efforts to break that resolve. The mention of a secret U.S. weapon adds an intriguing element to the story. It's a compelling historical account that keeps me hooked from start to finish

It is important to note that wars are won or lost in the factories. Yamamoto knew this. He also knew Japan could not compete with the US industrial might. He told his government the he could only guarantee six months of victory. That was one of the driving forces behind the Pearl Harbor planning and attack. The Japanese military believed that a successful attack could set the US Navy back up to a year or more. The Japanese could have fortified their holdings and made it even more costly to the Allies. It was fortunate for the US that the carriers were not in port during the attack or the Japanese presumption could have proven correct. Ironically, Yamamoto was proven correct.

[bigp]

My dad was in the Philippines 42-45. Saw how cruel the Japanese were to prisoners. He said they were tough fighters. America was resolved tho, the attack on Pearl harbor was a catalyst that said all or nothing.

[andrewbarten]

The era of the battleship was over when Yamato launched. If not for aircraft carriers, the Yamato could have ruled the sea. It was a monster.

[junpinedajr.]

The A Bombs accomplished several things.
1, It expedited the end of WW2, because Japan was force to surrender to the Allies.
2, It prevented the Soviets from occupying Northern Japan and making it a communist nation.
3, It prevented the lost of at least half a million Allied lives and millions of Japanese civilians and military had the US and it's Allies invaded.
4 It quickly ended Japanese militarism and made them shift to Democracy.
So for those condeming The A
Bombs, read those above and you will realise how wrong you are.

The Flag raising on Mt, Suribachi was indeed the second flag raised, but not for a photographer. The first flag was way too small and could not be seen, hence a much larger flag. For Rosenthal, it was his greatest photo.
