Dear sir, his job is fantastic. You talk us about a unknown history. Greetings from Brazil.
The Sarawak Rangers later became 1st Malaysia Rangers. They were arguably potentially the best jungle troops in the world because they were native to that environment. However, in 1941 the British failed to exploit this potential adequately. They came into their own over two decades later during "Confrontation" with Indonesia, when they were initially used as trackers for the Commonwealth forces and later 1st Malaysia Rangers mopped up Indonesian infiltrators with little difficulty.
Thank you for that. My late wife was a Chinese lady from Kuching. I used to tease her when we would disagree over something by calling her a "CT" as the Chinese population were disproportionately represented among the Communist insurrectionists but it was all in good fun.

Thank God I stumbled upon this channel after searching for videos of Battleship Bismarck, Yamato, & Littorio. I haven't seen many videos covering the Southeast Asian theater of the WWII prior to your channel 👌🏽
The creator of this channel is now animating for Kings and Generals on their pactific war series. This guy is really talented, so it's exciting!
@@Zogerpogger Now wonder it felt familiar...
As someone who has done military exercises in Brunei I have utmost respect for the men who fought in the jungles there. The terrain is absolutely hell on earth.
@Cream PiE south East Asian terrain isnt that differents
As someone who loved in the jungles of Indonesia for about 8 years, I can tell you - it can consume people with heat, disease, insects and poisonous snakes. Mountains can slow down a person to just a few miles per day.
Kokoda was worse.

The opening photo features my late uncle, Stanley Ho, and an unknown friend in 1945. It was taken in Beaufort, my late father's hometown.
Wow
Cool

That's fascinating, amazing how images of our predecessors when they were young are just floating around.
I just want to say how tired I am of all the morons complaining about the narration. Not everyone is a native English speaker. People do the best they can and should be applauded for their efforts. Any failure in diction is and should be overlooked and the amazing content just enjoyed and all the snobs should just keep their bad attitude to their selves. One amazing thing about UA-cam is how people from all over the world speaking a myriad of different native languages can learn to share with one another. I have a degree in history and there are times when I spot some error or other but unless it is an intentional attempt at propaganda or disinformation I just
overlook it and salute the content creators efforts to do something I don't have the time or energy to do. So just sit back, keep your rude and obnoxious comments to yourself and just enjoy!
many thanks for a precise HI
story presentation
never too late to learn
ignore the jealous critics more please
Freelancer is cheap
The thing it doesn't sound natural, so it's maybe a program
Yes sir. But at least the people from around the world try to study and speak english. Please just try to respect people learning language. Peace 🤝😊
Stop being silly Roland - it may just be you are the moron here. This is botvoice talk at its very worst. Nothing to do with ignorance or snobbery.
This series is that rare thing - an internet product that is better than anything equivalent available in print in English. More please.
Great the see someone also covering the Dutch! Thanks alot.
Thanks so much for this video. Balikpapan is my hometown. This WW2 history is rarely documented. Fantastic work sir.
Also balikpapan my hometown also
Thanks for the videos. I'm a Malaysian and I appreciate this production of yours.
I realised that there aren't many videos regarding the Battle of Borneo. The British and the Dutch, together with the Australians, US and the Canadians in Hong Kong should have concentrate all their forces in the Borneo. If they have concentrate their forces in the Borneo much earlier, it would be a prolonged war of attrition and it would help the Pacific War much more. The Allies could have play a better guerrilla war in the Borneo due to the thick jungle and the mountains and harass the Japanese in the coastal area.
might want to look in to war in Papua New Guinea and timor and Africa and know Australians were busy.
@金城㱐 Hong Kong isn't very defensible and like many colonial areas were undermanned and had second rate equipment. The high command also underestimated the Japanese to the frustration of frontline commanders who saw what the Japanese were capable of first hand.
Thank you for the video. I thought I knew about the Borneo campaign but you have provided detailed information that I did not know. How could I miss the Battle of Makassar Strait and the USN destroyer attack!

History Lesseons? Propaganda, but NOT History, has led us to believe that the Empire of Japan began its territorial expansion in the 1930’s, invading China, creating the puppet State of Manchukuo and “Provoking” the war with the Western Powers. But, Was this really, how events happened? Did Japan invade China and South East Asia? It seems so. However, the Propaganda does NOT say that for centuries, all Asia was invaded by Western Powers. England occupied India, Burma (Myanmar); Singapore, Malaysia and China (Hong Kong, Nanking, Shanghai, etc). France dominated all Indochina. The Netherlands intervened by the Force of its Arms, to all of Indonesia. And Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and of course, also the United States were in South East Asia cuz, for example this country, the US, occupied the Philippines since 1898. (Spanish-American War). Thus the panorama in the 30's, the Empire of Japan, when defeating to the Tsarist Russian Empire, it also decided to "Grow" by invading its neighbors. In those years, all European nations had colonies in Africa, India, the Middle East, Asia and America. (England came to occupy almost ¼ part of the planet). For its part, the US, in 113 years of existence as a nation in those years, had "Grown" 711 the size of its territory from its original 13 colonies. Now is the picture clear? Japan for its part, had fought on the side of the winners in World War I (1914-1918), and they, the Japanese, not awarded any "Gain". The western victors of WWI divided the world. Japan was excluded. Thus, Japan's motives for attacking and expanding as the Europeans and the US did seem clearer, right? Then they, the Japanese, attacked China in 30’s, which was occupied by 6 Western Powers for almost a century. None of the Western Powers occupying China at this time, OPPOSED or fought Japan for Invading China. NONE! Then, 11 years later after having occupied the territory of China and coexisted without any problem with the Western Powers within China, they, the Japanese, attacked Hawaii, which in turn, this Island had been occupied and annexed by the US in 1898. (In 1900-01, Hawaii became US territory and Hawaii ceased to be an independent nation after more than 630 years of sovereignty. By the time Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States had just completed the 40th anniversary of the military occupation and annexation of Hawaii). They, the Japanese, attacked Singapore, which was then a Colony of England. They, the Japanese, attacked the Philippines, which were occupied by the US and whose Gov’r, Douglas MacArthur reined as Emperor. Truly like an Absolute Autocrat. Therefore, the Japanese did NOT attack (In the 40’s), Singapore, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, etc. In reality, the Japanese attacked England, France, Belgium, Holland, the US, etc. That is, the Japanese attacked the Western Powers invading all of Asia. That is the verifiable truth. But, Propaganda has made us believe that the good guys were us, the US. And of course… Nanking was a horrendous Genocide committed by Japan, but, it was no more horrendous than the 12 Genocides committed by the United States in his History and all over the world. Nor was it less horrendous than the Genocide committed by King Leopold II of Belgium, in Central Africa. Nor was Nanking more or less horrendous than the Genocides that the British Empire committed in America, Africa, Australia, Middle East, India and also in China too. And now, the Japanese are our friends and allies... Yup… But, to fight against China, AGAIN!!!
Protectorates without protection...its like paying for something from Amazon but didn’t get delivery
Holland was taken over by the Germans, so I guess they had an excuse, but for the British, I would like to know how much of the problem with defending the empire in the East was down to being committed to the war in Europe and North Africa, and how much was down to the incompetence and unpreparedness of the British government.
@@jonathanwarner1844 the numbers tells you everything...how could a few thousands make any difference? Might as well not have anyone in the first place.
No, actually it’s like buying a car you don’t need snd can’t afford. The whole region was a write off braced against the strategic needs for defense at that stage in the Pacific campaign.
@Lee Shackelford The French and British knew Hitler would not stop when they gave away the Sudetenland they did it to buy time to help prepare their economy and populace for war and politically there was no appetite for an intervention.
The european tribes were running protection rackets on a big scale. just like modern day triads or mafioso.
To illustrate the theater is one of the best ever! Thank you!
@2:41 its stated that the great Oil fields of Borneo were located in British North, and "Dutch West Side" but the area highlighted is on the east coast of Dutch Borneo. [shades of "Krakatoa East of Java" which is actually West of Java"?]
Nice video! I would turn the volume of the music a bit down though... Sometimes its hard to hear your voice... nevertheless - great job
SARAWAKian Borneo Negara Asia 🇹🇦 😔 😔😔🙏🙏
This is better Truth & Legit history than the history books we Sarawakians had in school under West Malaysia. Should have included our ACTUAL HISTORY.
Your channel is very interesting ... I'm interested about the secret airstrip of Singkawang II.. do you have any references about that?
Thank You, I'm glad you like it.
Most of my reference comes from this site.
dutcheastindies.webs.com/borneo.html
dutcheastindies.webs.com/sarawak.html
You can refer here. They have great contents about the forgotten Dutch East Indies Campaign.
They also mentioned some facts about KNIL secret airfields.
Such a comprehensive explanation of the Battle of Borneo. And perhaps it's true that it isn't a well-known battle as it's not spoken of here in Malaysia. Glad I stumbled upon this video.
do you know Kuching literally means Cat?
TheOis1984 ofc yes there a cat statue in Kuching
Kuhing???
In Malayan Language, and ofc Indonesian, Kuching/Kucing is Cat.
Koting in Filipino means cat also.
@@Roh-c8e also PH: Hey wanna go Sarawak koting?
may I ask for permission to get this video? want this video to put to Uploaded to my account NBS -Northern Borneo Sabah news so that it will be shown into My channel.
Sure, and don't forget to credits my channel too.
This is completely not msde public. It's an eye opener. It just shows how the colonialst are just nothing!
This was an amazing summary of operations in Borneo. Only complaint is the lack of summary information concerning naval and air units.
I have barely come to know of this channel. I am very interested in any historical and military narratives. Your breakdown, graphics, musical score and especially the voice in the narration are superb! Please do more!!!!
Awesome Video!👍
You told us things we're never told in Indonesia. Great content.
Nice. I'm from Sarawak, Borneo. This is good information
Same
The Dutch subs really gave the Japanese hell. Even the measly Air Force did what it could. I've always thought the Dutch didn't get enough credit for their defense of their colonies.

Another great video. Thank you👍🏻.
Excellent quality presentation. Thank you.
Just found your channel, I am a big fan.
Excellent piece of work!!!
Great video, keep up the good work!
I shall be honest and say that I am not a fan of the computer generated voice. It is rather off-putting, and distracts from the historical content.
The content itself though is quite solid, great research and animations.
This is by far the funniest butchering of Sarawak, my head keep hearing SaraWatt 🤣

@Encik PakLan Is a robotic voice, what do you honestly expect?
No I mean, that its a text2speech voice, I just find it hillarious
@Encik PakLan dont bluntly say someone stupid just because of a mere mispronounced word and no other reason... i think the one who lacks intelligent here is you, sir because you clearly don't know the etiquette of the internet. Maybe you should learn some ethics before writing and posting this comment here on a public board. Or simply delete the comment as it'll cause more understatement. Welcome to my ted talk, farvel.
Encik PakLan lets hear you speak English and laugh
I lay in bed alone with my cat Tim while we watch this. My cat fricken loves this stuff. I think he was a soldier in a different life. Perhaps he fought here in ww2? Who knows. We can watch all day.
Thanks for sharing about Borneo ,hope next u can make video about dayak in Borneo .✌️💙

It's cool to see videos on these lesser known battles, but your music and sound effects are very annoying.
Very detail battle. Thank you.
Voice over destroyed all your great work
Great video!
Maye you deserve way more views!
Seems that the Dutch put up more of a fight than the British did.
Same goes for Europe in 1940. We Dutch decimated the German Fallschirmjägers at The Hague. Around 800 of them were transported to England as captives by a torpedoboat. I recommend you read the book of E.H Brongers if you would like to know more about this.
Borneo was way more important to the dutch then it was to the british. But neither of them really had the rescources to put up a good fight.
Yup
Bc of SPICE
It didn't help that the British relocated some of their troops to Hong Kong and Singapore, which to them had much more value than their slice of Borneo.
I can't decide whether to give you an A for the great content or an F for the robot narration of this video.
Very nice Sr,congrats
With solely intention to help,I flew all Borneo last years,and the pronunciation is Baleekpapan.
Thank you from Brasil pilot.
Thank you for the service and sacrifice to all British,Indian officers, soldiers and Sarawak Rangers who have died defending the land of Borneo. May God bless all personnel who have fallen on the battlefield. Amen.

i like this channel, great job
My country history, thanks for this 🙏
2:40 You SAY "the Dutch west side [of Borneo]" but the EAST coast in indicated by your graphic.
Now Sabah and Sarawak states are occupied by Malaya. And Sabah became the poorest state in Malaysia even though Sabah is the biggest oil producer.
As an American, I’m always horrified that our early entrance into the war could have stopped Germany and Japan so much sooner. This especially because I well appreciate the isolationists and pacifists of the interwar period. We were wrong.
Excellent content. Well covered and well explained. I don't think the robo-voice is that bad. I understood what was said. However, you "did" say you would use human narrators, previously.
Love your Chanel...
I am proud Indonesian🇮🇩
Japanese murdered Dutch prisoners of war. The Americans came back and avenged them .
Dutch were so nice to Indonesians that they preferred Japanese occupation over those fucking western democracies rule
Was there a war crime trial for the Japanese officers responsible for the murder of Dutch POW?
@@sirstephen9825 No : the main reason was that within 2 days of official Japanese surrender in august 1945, the indepence leader Soekarno declared independence of the Dutch Indies , proclaiming the republic of Indonesia , which was finally recognized after 4 years by the dutch government in 1949.
also 4 million Indonesians died during the occupation.

The flag of Sarawak is correct. You are awesome
Pronunciation is attrocious. I was especially surprised to hear that Syria is in Borneo. The second syllable is good enough, but the Se in Seria should be "Sir".
Thanks for the historical stories..

As British, I am reluctant to admit it. But only the Americans in the Philippines put up any meaningful resistance to the Japanese in 1941 and early 1942.
As an historian I accept the determination of the Yanks and the utter lack of determination of the British and Dutch.
Was it the senior officers or general lack of morale.
I simply don't know.
The Dutch had already surrender to the Germans, 25,000 Dutchman joined the German army.
If the Allies knew how vicious and inhumane the Japanese were, everyone would have fought to the bitter end. I still find it hard to believe they were so cruel.
