    Thoroughly enjoyed both the Syria and Mariana Islands videos, Laobi. Even learned a thing or two about Japanese atrocities in the Pacific Islands.
    These videos must have taken a long time to research and write.

    • @Laobi
      @Laobi  3 роки тому +2

      Thank you very much sir! Unfortunately the IJN/IJA didn't bother themselves with international law. On the time front the writing was easy, the bones of it were in the noggin already, had to read a few papers on this one for different perspectives (Syria was based on travel and conversations). Just wrote a list of bullet points (usually numbers/quantities which I can never remember) and just expanded on each one as I recorded the audio. The only difficult part for me is audio recording (record light phobia).

    • @Laobi
      @Laobi  3 роки тому

      Thank you very much sir! When I did my leaving cert the history books were produced by a company founded by a wanted member of the Gestapo (not joking, if you can find the series _Hidden History: Ireland's Nazis_ by the late great Cathal O'Shannon it's a must watch). This publisher's books skirted around WW2 in a way that was at odds to what I heard from grandparents and great uncles who had fought in the various services during WW2, this fuelled my interest in the period. Additionally my ancient history teacher (he was ancient) refused to use the books due to their lack of veracity (back then no one knew the history of the publisher). This same history teacher had been a POW of the Japanese, unusually he had no hatred, had visited nearly country across the globe but would never visit Japan as he still had nightmares when he heard people speak Japanese.

    • @Laobi
      @Laobi  2 роки тому

      Thank you very much sir! Parts were in the noggin due to my general interest/love of Japanese things, anecdotes from Japanese friends, visits to Taiwan where I had conversations with old locals who's family members had been in the Japanese military or who were members of tribes that fought against them, and due to the ancient guy who taught me history in high school had been a POW held by the Japanese. I will have to dig through my drive and find the 3 papers and 10 or so lectures I watched mainly for fact checking, but which also added new insights, particularly 1 by a native historian from Tinian which focused on Japanese troop transfers which really highlighted to me why things went so south in '44.

    On the whole liberation of Japan, the Army commissioned a batch of purple hearts so they had enough for the casualties they were expecting.
    They haven't run out of them yet.
    They did finally mint another batch in 2006, because they were concerned the 1945 ones were deteriorating, but they're still mostly handing out refurbished 1945 stock, even to this day.
