This is a good one. Some interesting stuff i haven’t heard/ forgot. The amount of planes and tanks both sides built is insane. And I’m sure the axis used and lost almost all of theirs. The scale of it all is mind blowing.
I mean... that's WHO we as people ARE. Everyone who think different should look what we did to our planet/animals... it's a part of our nature. We need an IDEAS to kill for. As an excuse

I am really a docu diehard, and this docu opload is intens and extreme in so many ways. This subject is Close by for me both of my parents where teens in ww2 my mother in Holland and my father in Indonesia back than the Dutch Indies my mother experiance the German invasion and my father the Japanese invasion Don 't get my wrong this is a great docu but for me it isn't a good sleeping remedy what my parents tolt my where basicly the daily things in war a friend in school that didn't came back constanty on the run for a safe place and the creative things they came with to get enough food for their families. So for them it was not about the big battles sometimes there was somebody who built a radio to get information from the BBC, for me was the war close by when i trough food in the bin, my mother shout in this house we Don 't trow food in the bin so thanks for this upload and mam and dad thanks you for the love and wisdom you gave us RIP❤ sweet mom and dad
I like how Japan just gets a pass for all their genocide smh. Also love how people forget they refused to surrender. Also the justification for the bombs is easy it came down to a choice send millions into a grinder over there to kill millions or drop 2 bombs and end the war.
It’s a bit offensive saying Germany was wrecked and Melbourne was untouched but you fail to mention the hundreds who were bombed in Darwin (thankfully it was mostly evacuated but the town was utterly devastated), or the hundred plus aerial assaults on our soil. Why make comparison this way? Human suffering matters far more than cities that can be rebuilt. Germany and England were the two great powers of the war. Australia wasn’t. The focus on the countries was not equal for a good reason. It’s also just not a competition as to who had it worse. Just really thoughtless as a statement. This horrific war saw my grandad traumatised because as a navy gunner her was sunk by the Germans 3 times, twice in one night. It’s a miracle he survived. People from countries with zero connection to Europe except British colonialism were forced or coerced into dying en masse in our country. Don’t minimalise our country’s suffering by making a bizarre false comparison. The way you spoke gave the impression that Melbourne got off easy and doing that is totally ignoring the Melbourne men who died, were maimed, and crippled to PSTD, which is no mentioned at all.
I love how these historians claim that the bombs weren't necessary although I bet if it was one of them assigned to land on the beaches of Japan and fight another year or two to defeat the Japanese and no telling how many more civilians would've been killed. The Japanese started that war by bombing us it was only right that we ended it with a bigger bomb.
So, Japan actually tested out biological/chemical weapons on China. They sent down the bubonic plague via bombs, and a few other really bad and deadly diseases as a test. Japan actually had planned on dropping those types of biological/chemical weapons on/in the United States on/around the first week in September. So by the USA dropping the two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it actually caused Japan to surrender (obviously), but it prevented an attack which could very well have turned the tide of the war in the pacific. The European campaign was already finished back in May 1945, and Japan surrendered at sometime in August 1945.
Island hopping was bad enough as it is. Just imagine storming the heart of the army responsible for it. The Japanese were so extreme in WW2 we would’ve basically experienced the Vietnam war in 1945 rather than the mid 70’s. Having to fight civilians and venture through jungles laced with traps and ambush tunnels. That already happened in the islands but it would’ve been way worse in their homeland I bet
I hard disagree. Collective punishment is immoral. Also the will of the Japanese forces are highly overstated. They were already crushed and forced onto the main islands. They had almost no raw materials or food stocks coming in, and their military was extremely weakened. While there are stories of Japanese soldiers fighting for DECADES onwards, there’s no real reason to believe that they would continue the fight if the Americans had been able (and we definitely were going to eventually) to capture the emperor and force capitulation that way. In reality Truman wanted to put the Soviets and the rest of the world on notice of the atom bombs. ALSO it’s a soldier and sailors job to fight and if necessary die for their nation, but that isn’t the job of civilians. The bloodthirsty nature of that perspective is what leads to the justification of war crimes and genocides.
I was in Japan in 1988, I spoke to an old Japanese man he was in his 80s. I asked him about the bombing America, atomic bombs ever dropped. He said it was the best thing that happened to Japan. I asked him why, he said our leaders would have killed us all. All of the Japanese would have fought anyone who invaded their country. They would’ve fought to their death.. He said the bombs killed less people. The leaders would have done the same as Hitler in the bunker, total destruction of the people and the government. Tokyo, would have been a copy of Berlin, And the number of death would have been 1000s times more. It sounds crazy but the bombing did help to change the leadership thinking. Because they did want the bomb on top of them. It’s like having thousands of liquor weapons, both sides. No one wants to use it. .
@@HatBilly2008 USA wanted to end the war alone, before USSR was ready help. Japan would have surrender soon after USSR declare war against them. It is a debate. We know only one type of history, the happened one.
@@robirvine6970 yes, killing some peopled to save more people is just crazy, but when a government that is sick has power anything can happen.

As always in these videos, I consider that which is relevant, and dismiss that which is not. This is, of course, MY judgement, but it springs out of a basis of extensive knowledge and exposure. I claim no expertise, I merely exercise the abilities God gave me. The important thing is that I and my opinion can change if presented with creditable evidence contrary to my position. That is my favorite thing about history- even biased interpretations of history may have something relevant for me to consider…
Civil liberty violation,interment camps,is understandable during war but IN HUMANE,BARBARIC,VIOLENT TREATMENT IS DIFFERENT and America interment camps WERE Humane,NOT Barbaric, and as a practice NONVIOLENT. Can you say the same about Japanese and German interment camps?
They said only 25 Japanese were prosecuted for war crimes in the Tokyo trials. However, I've read from other sources that over 1000 Japanese were executed for war crimes. Not just found guilty and given prison sentences. Executed meaning put to death. Not sure where they got their sources from and which one of them is true.
There is a few reasons. For one, it’s immoral to directly target the leader of a country for assassination. Second of all, there were probably x4 the amount of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the emperor’s home city, and it would send the message that the U.S. is cruel. Thirdly, they didn’t want to annihilate Japan as a country, they just wanted to end the war.
I was born on Pearl Harbor Day, so i learned all about it. It saddens me greatly to imagine 19 yr old boys waking up to their own death, but i would have preferred USA have a way of SHOWING the japanese what the atom bomb can do by dropping it on a far away island. Granted, just like 9/11, the USA knew Pearl Harbor was going to happen and let it so they had a reason to join the war.

Great documentary. But I feel this under-represents the significance of American contribution to Britains cultural survival. There’s a considerable chance that the commonwealth would’ve never prevailed if the United States had not been there to rescue them.
Funny how the terms "world war" or "total war" are so easily abused. Considering most nations on our planet didnt fought during WW1 or WW2, and considering the war was mostly in a handful of geographic locations, I just dont see it as "world war", only a few big nations ruled by men with big egos sending men that just want to live to die, fighting for invisible lines or useless ideals, none of these men who are fighting will ever benefit from in any way. There is no pride in winning a war, only shame, the shame of knowing that so many people died for nothing at all
When a man like Adolph hitler comes to power and decides he’s going to build a war machine and take over all of Eastern Europe, ruthlessly killing and enslaving civilians, turning entire cities to dust, how is engaging him and fighting for your countries independence “dying for nothing at all?”
Worth every minute. A look at the governmental side of WWII.
