I just let out an audible "Oh Shit" when I saw this notification. The gods are good my friends.
Same thing for me man, lol. Just saw it and i was like "click"
You ain't the only one boss.
Same here and I really have work to do...... but........... mañana.....
Very nice down low Audible advert... don't forget to support the podcast! haha
I did the exact same thing
Why was my first thought "damn its only 4 hours" 😂
I had misread the time and thought it was 3 hours and was kind of tight on that.
I hoped for 5 plus! but quality over quantity was maybe the cause? or that's cut for the "extra show" like the final wrath of the khans episode...
Right? What a ripoff! Lol
I just finished and am sad now😩
2:28:50
"Mr. President! Can I call you Frank?" Why have I not heard Dan do this before?! This was awesome among awesome.
Hardcore History teaches the value of patience. While I miss the old days when it consisted of shorter but regular episodes the quality has never dropped. Now it feels like an event when Dan Carlin uploads the latest episode. A quality of its own perhaps.
Quality has a quantity all its own.
Low key if it ain't like 3 hours long I feel kind of cheated now...I'm such a hack.
I read "a quality of its own, perhaps" in Dan Carlin's voice. It was pretty dramatic.
@@JeremiahHaydock *boom*...
Sucks for us but these episodes are evergreen. In 100 years this will still hold up quality wise
I've learned more about History from Dan's podcast than I ever learned in school. Another great job!
I don't know how your school system was, but I never had the option to take a History class. Instead we had Social Studies, which is a bit of History, a bit of Civics, and a lot of telling us what to think about the world, instead of teaching us HOW to think about it.
There's plenty to learn in school, you just weren't engaged with the material
My son is a history teacher in high school here in Washington state. He uses Dan's material regularly for his classes. And his classes are ALWAYS full. He gets interesting veterans to come and give presentations, along with historical reenactment groups. I kinda wish I had a history teacher like him when I was in school.
@@briangarrow448 Your kid's doing it right. People like him are desperately needed in education in general, for they're the ones who actually get kids interested and invested.
School history teachers wouldn't have the luxury of being able to spen five hours uninterrupted on one topic when you have a year's curriculum to cover.
I never thought I’d live to see the day this came out
*cum
The degree to which this is palpably relatable is depressing.
lol.. my twin bro and I could not believe it! DC is the absolute best.
@@vrenespanolandenglish4504 I prefer Marvel.
@@possiblepilotdeviation5791 Ba Dum 'tss
I had plans tonight...
They just got cancelled.
Drop everything you’re doing folks, it’s time for some Hardcore History.
Seriously, I've been so waiting for this
Been longing for this one. Superb work again, thank you Dan!
💯 accurate
Thx... since I blocked one propaganda history channel. This Cia's sorry ass popped up. UA-cam needs competition. It sucks as is.
@@janezjonsa3165 what
As a truck driver Dan's work is Gold for me. And free on YT too!
I found this series when I was traveling from VA to CA 🙏🙏

Despite the millions of conversation that google has spied on, it still failed to recommend this channel.
I am deeply disappointed
google is a joke
The Doolittle Raid had a huge and critical impact on the war: Yamamoto's grand plan to finally crush the American carrier forces in a decisive battle was an operation to take place in the Central Pacific. His superiors denied the plan repeatedly, and the Japanese army officials also vetoed it. But when Doolittle's bombers hit Tokyo, all opposition to the plan vanished--suddenly, destroying those carriers became a matter of securing the Emperor's physical safety. Thus, Yamamoto got the support he needed to carry out his decisive battle at Midway.
It was also Yamamoto's worst operational plan ever, full of arrogance, denial of the possibility of danger, refusing to consider contingencies and the impact of unexpected developments. Even his wargaming session was half-hearted and obviously a rubber-stamp. Furthermore, Yamamoto settled for compromises with other high-ranking officers in the navy to divert other naval assets for simultaneous actions in other parts of the Pacific, diluting his navy's strength at the time of his decisive battle. Between that and American code-breaking (and a brilliant gambit on the part of Nimitz to subtly force King's hand to allow him to get all of his carriers out of the South Pacific and towards Hawaii, where he believed but did not yet have firm confirmation that the operation would take place), the US Navy was able to set up a trap for the Imperial Japanese Navy. Since their intelligence told them that the Japanese would be able to bring only four (or five at maximum) of its carriers to the battle, it meant that the US could field enough aircraft between three carriers and the planes on a reinforced Midway Atoll to have relatively equal numbers (if not necessarily equal quality in terms of planes and pilots). Thus, for the first time in the war, the US (or even the Allies in general) could fight a direct and decisive naval battle with the main Japanese force by choice rather than as an act of desperation. And so, the US Navy destroyed four of Japan's critical fleet carriers and ALL of its accompanying carrier planes (which were not being produced in large enough numbers to quite meet demand at the time) and a decent number of its elite airmen, along with some of Japan's best carrier specialists (damage control, engineering, flight operations, etc). The sunk heavy cruiser and another heavy cruiser heavily damaged was just icing on the cake.
Thus, the Doolittle Raid had a tremendous military impact that was only discovered after the war, and it was an impact that the Allies could not have expected to result from it. The intent behind the raid had been for morale--mainly to bolster Allied morale rather than hurt Japanese morale, which was certainly successful--but it ended up being far more successful than anyone had imagined.
Also, the notion that the US Navy was seriously risking two of its carriers for this operation is really overblown. The entire plan revolved around keeping the carriers safe; that's why they launched so early--they would not risk the carriers by continuing to sail closer after they'd potentially been detected. The real cost was that it took two fleet carriers away from other operations at a critical time, which was problematic, but it was deemed worth the cost. Lastly, even though the bombers had to be launched far earlier and farther than had been planned, most of the bomber crews survived the war, and many of them avoided capture altogether; I don't think any of them were shot down--they just ran out of fuel and had to crash-land where they could in China.
Great observations and well written!
My father worked with a Japanese American that was a teenager in the concentration camps, he would often talk to my dad about his time there and according to my dad everytime he would round his way to talk about this one lieutenant that singled him out to ridicule him. As the conversation would change to this one man, his anger would become so visible that my dad says the air in the breakroom would get hot. Supposedly this guy marked down the lieutenants name and after the war would hunt him down several times to threaten him at his business about how he would explicitly kill him.
That's what I appreciate about this broadcast is the history according to the first hand accounts, hearing what the people that were there felt and saw provides something so much more than any textbook in school could teach
Dan, if you're reading this, you're a national treasure. Please don't ever stop.
You are a worldwide treasure

I feel very fortunate to have such quality content so readily available. For free too. Thanks Dan, I am a huge fan.
totally agree.
Throw dude a dollar. 😎
😊😊p
I remember Westpac 1987 onboard the USS Constellation. I was a 21 year old Airman Apprentice. I remember flight deck training and the speed and precision of the crew to launch, recover, and launch again. I was in a tomcat squadron, VF-21 freelancers. In the Reagan years the Navy had all the aviation fuel they could burn. It was battle flex deck almost daily. We were a finely honed machine. The tip of the spear. God bless my shipmates that took it to the Japanese at Midway.
All this and I can't join the military because of vision. Totally bullshit.
topgun came out that yr and america kicked communisms arse... what an awsun time to be alive
You didn’t do shit lol
Listening to Dan is like watching the Batman interview the joker for 6 hours.
Spot on
Tremendous gravitas with the occasional humor.
Dan, you... complete.. ME.
"It's the ocean baby, you don't know!" Lmao XD
“QUOTE: ‘Ag-een and ag-eeen and ag-eeeeen’ END QUOTE”
I knew that the Japanese Army was vicious at times, but when you hear the specific details listed towards the end of this episode it really leaves me in awe. I completely understand why a serviceman in the Pacific would come to loath them.
My grandfather was a marine in the pacific to say he hated the Japanese would be a understatement. In some ways I get it from listening to these or at least a kind of understand it
My grandparents truly hated the Japanese. My grandfather was an aircraft mechanic on P-38's. I could get him to talk about the planes for hours, but he would never talk about the combat he was forced to do at times when the airfields came under attack. Rest well Pappaw, I love you and granny and miss you every day.
That's what happens when you breed warriors. Short, short warriors
I guess my grandfather was kind of an enigma he was very proud of the fact that he never killed a single person in the Pacific as a teenager my reaction was meh whatever. As an adult in my reaction was wow that's impressive. Listening to the series my reaction is now holy s*** that's a miracle.
@@Jargonecius sounds like the weasel just didn't want to do his job.
What's this ? Hours of delightful historical storytelling. Praise the gods.
I was genuinely excited when I realized it was a multi part series. And beyond trilogy? Most dope
YES FINALLY!! I CAN ONLY RELISTEN TO THE SERIES SO MANY TIMES!!
i was on lap 3
Don't lie...you can listen infinitely...and catch new shit each time...inflections in tone, random odd details, shit your brain just glazed over after hour number 3 on lap number 5...i.e. my Death Throes of the Republic
Hmm the old intro is better.
"December 7th, nineteen forty one, a day which will live in infamy..."
Rerorer, agree.
People need to know if their president's a crook .... AMD I'M NOT A CROOK

Its Always shorter in later episodes of the series itl be back dont wory
EDIT: Oh BTW I take pride in the words ich bin ein berliner
@@self-transforming_machine-elf am I not supposed to be able to tap the “read more” option? Is that the joke? If so: LOL
Please do a series on the Byzantine/Eastern Roman Empire. One of the civilizations that most people know little about
Mike Duncan's podcast is pretty good. Different. But good
It be great to get a podcast about belisarius taking back rome!
He has some podcasts on the punic wars that are pretty good as well. Go to dancarlin.com to see the 100s and 100s of podcast available.
@@Bakupa91 YES!
Check out history of the byzantine empire on Spotify
As hesitation and doubt surround us all, Dan Carlin and his team are here. Steady and sure.
Those FDR speeches rouse me even now. What a master politician and amazing American
The description of "The Old Breed" at 3:09:38 might be the greatest description of any group of people, ever, in the history of the world.
When I got done i listened to it like 3 more times and came back now to again it's so good.
I was just thinking that YOUR description of Dan's description was pretty good as well. Semper Fi, Mac!
Oh my god Dan I love you. That thirty minute intro before you get back to where you left off gave me goosebumps. Don’t ever stop man, you’re saving my sanity
I really hope you do a series on the war in Europe! I'm so addicted to listening to Hardcore History
"It's the ocean, baby. You just don't know...", Dan is the man.
Dude I just blurted out"fuck ya!" In public once I got this notification. So excited to start part 4
Without a phone for almost a year and come back to THREE dan Carlin podcasts. Least I know what I'll be listening to for a good minutw
Words I can't wait to hear: "what you're about to hear is the final episode of our 11 part series on the Japanese empire in world war two. Its our longest episode ever at just under nine hours, but we wanted to be thorough. And now without further ado, Supernova in the East part 11."
Be careful what you wish for XD
You'll hear it in about 7 years
I understand you're enthusiasm and feel the same in part, but I'm with the others who warn careful what you wish for because an 11 part series would likely take another 2 to 3 years to complete and that's a best case scenario, more realistically it could be four years or more and though I've throughly enjoyed the subject matter I am always just as excited to see what the next episode or series will cover.
I hope we as a species have unlocked the secret of greatly extending our lifespans long before Mr Carlin departs our world because there isn't anyone who can replace him. The time I spend listening to Dan dive into history the way he does is absolutely bliss.
You forgot the part where he suggests you start from the beginning or go ahead and listen if you like to jump in.
Can't wait for Alexander.
I good sequel to this series would be a series on the rise of Mao.
Yep, one of Dan's heroes so I'm sure he'll do a good job covering the beautiful cultural revolution.
Kara Sparrow ooh also insurgencies within Asia against the Japanese during WW2 I love hearing about the Korean guerillas
Chinese civil war? I mean I guess we got a bit of that here, but not too much.
@@workhorse7134 Dan's heroes? Hate to get political but is this for real?
Damn the art work for this is one is awesome. Excellent storytelling. Ran through the last three episodes and now I'm here. Listening to Homer tell a story must've been a bit like listening to Dan tell a story. Thank you for making this.
Literally have never been so hyped in my entire life.
Well the Japanese probably didn't have a guy named Murphy so they hadn't heard of Murphy's law yet?
Can you please sell shirts that say "It's the ocean baby, you don''t know."
I want one that says "SCRATCH ONE FLAT TOP" personally
END QUOTE
WORD
Holy crap! I read your comment the moment he said this...it's a 4 hour pod...the odds...
I have never clicked so fast on a youtube update
As a newcomer to the series, I'd like to say thank you to Dan Carlin and the production team behind him. These podcasts are marathon listening sessions, but they are incredibly valuable, both for the in-depth and even-handed treatment of the subject matter (some of it heartbreaking or horrifying), and for asking the hard questions that come from these events. As I listen, I hear echoes of the past coming up again and again, questions we think of as long since settled returning in the global politics of the world today.
Literally read the books you recommended for these episodes and used them for my own history channel, you remain an inspiration!
Soooo good. And loving the inserts of actual radio broadcasts, etc... A couple have actually brought me to tears thinking about what Americans were experiencing sitting next to their radios, and taking the President’s word as EVERYTHING.
Makes you realize that almost the entirety of history and what we call "historical accuracy" depends solely on witness testimony.
If witness testimony doesn't hold up in court, why do we let it inform our view of history?
Thank you Dan. As an Australian, it's great to hear our involvement in those times
"the rhythm I feel now is like the Americans are trying to strike a match and the Japanese are trying to blow the match out..." It sounds cartoonish and funny but this is so accurate when you see that timeline of "arrival" of American planes -- incredible!
Amazingly well researched and presented, didn’t know hardcore history had uploaded this until today.
and... and I just noticed that ONE day ago an even NEWER episode has been uploaded... this is honest to god one of the best days of my life.
My jeans are so high and tight I can barely breath.
Shouts out to everyone all over the world, doin they thang and stuff like that ...
You're the highest and tightest mommy I've ever seen, jeans. Thanks Hitler!
@@lnorman79 Is this a Dan Carlin/Your Mom's House crossover? I'm not ready for that.
hey Hitlers

Looks like I’m going to bed at 1 am now
Dude its 4.50 am in Perth , Western Australia, i just got home from a 14hr shift at work, and need to be back in that hell hole in 10hrs... looks like 4 hrs of that is going to be spent with Dan!!!! fuck yeah!!!! Hardcore History!!!!
HCI episode have been my lullabies for about a year now. I kid not. (Glad this came out. I'm on the second-time-around for all his podcasts. lol
Dan Carlin has a special gift fir bringing history alive. Especially in this episode of the crucial 15 minutes at Midway. He documents in cruel reality, the tick of time, the edge of pain, the what of sane. An unforgettable narration.
We, Sailors, remind Marines that their checks say, "Department of the Navy." Their answer is, "the Men's Department."
I’m a soldier in the army but I don’t consider navy to be weak. I’d much rather take my chances on the ground. Then be trapped in a fucking ship on the open ocean fuck that. I’ll stick with my saw and a hole in the ground.
@@Anomaly-uz9pr I get it. Glad there are different services with different experiences.
@@estern001 ocean is terrifying to me you just don’t know what’s out there or below you could be ufos sea monsters fuck that
@@Anomaly-uz9pr fucking exactly my thoughts... I'm terrified of drowning in deep ass water, which is weird because I'm a decent swimmer and always have been but uhh yeah, I feel like I would constantly be freaked out if I had to stay on a boat in the middle of the ocean all day. Hell I didn't much like going out on my grandfather's boat in the middle of a lake without the potential to get shot at/torpedoed/or sunk in some other way.
I watched Dunkirk the other day, the movie, and there are multiple scenes in that movie of big ships getting sunk and guys getting trapped underwater as it does down and shit.... that shit makes my skin crawl lol
Thank you so much. This makes my night at work SO much more bearable.
DAN mothereffing CARLIN, the suprise upload!
I've been waiting almost TWO YEARS to find out how this story ends
edit: and I'm still left hanging. I dunno I think the japanese might still have a chance.
I am in the exact same boat. I thought part 3 was going to deal with the Coral Sea and Midway. I was so sad when it ended with Pearl Harbor. My heart about stopped when I saw this pop up.
It ends with a nuke
It ends with the Hardcore History episode titled "The Destroyer of Worlds" which is itself about a nuclear near miss.
@@Hiraeth-zq8ze lmao I was coming to say that
@Jason Gardner ha
Counting the days for SUPERNOVA IN THE EAST - PART V. Can't wait to hear more about the battles in PAPUA NEW GUINEA and about the BATTLE OF MANCHURIA.
This series, among Dan's numerous others, should be considered a national treasure.
My personal favorite is "Celtic Holocaust" If you've made it this far, you'll love this, or your money back
Hardcore History is undeniably the most important podcast out there right now. There's no question about it. Especially if you've always been interested in the extremes of human experience ;-)
“What the allies are about to do here is ambush a surprise attack. They’re launching a surprise-attack against a surprise-attack, it’s a counter surprise attack…”
I spit out my coffee belly laughing
Has the same energy as the one line from the Sith Assassin character in SWTOR: "I love assassinating assassins. They always look so surprised."
Shame there is only one Dan Carling, as I crave more hardcore history!
Your experience with wargaming shaped how well you told this story, I can tell. Great content, I only wish there was more. I would really like you to do a show , as through as this one, on Korea & Vietnam.
These videos have been getting me through long 12 our night shifts. Wish they would never end.
Don't know much about King but Mcarthur should have gone down fighting in the Phillipines with his men like Colonel Travis did at the Alamo.
Your the man I needed something other than news today
Awesome story telling. I wonder if he would ever let someone put some video to this? Things like historical maps and pictures...
So excited! Exactly what I needed in my life today. You're my hero Dan
Only 700 views in 17 hours????? What the hell UA-cam. Considering he usually gets hundreds of thousands per video, it seems hard to believe this one is doing so poorly especially during quarantine
The algorithm rewards those who upload regularly and punish those who don't.
I got the notification and the video was private for 12 hours after. May have negatively affected the engagement
I don't know about anyone else but I'm going to listen to it through Google music rather than here
you had me at midway... checking if the power went out
we are all tied for your number one fans...
i truly appreciate your way of describing how culture influences outcomes and our hindsight interpretations
wow Dan, always worth the wait
I started on this one. Heard your advice on starting on the first one. So I went and found and first and started listening. Here we are now, and I’m completely enthralled in your story. The story. Your ability to share historical information in a colorful and interesting manner!!! Thank you sir!!! One question, have you heard the good news!??? JESUS HAS RISEN!!! He is alive.
Once a great man said :- " I'm multilingual in my ability to MISPRONOUNCE the names"...
Reading With The Old Breed right now so great timing
Love your series! Thanks for sharing for free
With where we are today I'm putting in my vote for an American Civil War or Revolutionary War series after supernova.
Sir, Thank you for your impecable timing. I will now commecnce to listening to this several times, and start binge listening to previous shows.
This was the biggest present I could hope for!! I am writing this even before listening to the episode because of how hyped I am to hear what Dan has to say to continue this one. Supernova in the East was the series that got me into Hardcore History and I cannot be more hyped right now
Tonight just got so much more interesting
UA-cam Users: New video!

Website Users: *I’m 4 parallel universes ahead of you*
"The most important 10 minutes of history."
Damn I wish I could tell a story like that.
Your the best ever at telling the story of history. Honestly keep the good work up. I love your work.
Years of the greatest story telling. A bottle of apple pie and my head phones. Delightful

Dan, this stuff is incredible. Awesome as always!
Thanks, Dan, for distracting us from these troubled times.
My grandfather was in the battle of midway stationed on the USS Yorktown, I wish I got more personal accounts from him...
Respect for your grandfather.
Huge thank you for these videos. Can’t be easy getting them out at the moment and if anything the wait just makes them more special.
Thanks Dan. I am absolutely loving this series! I can’t wait for part V.
And this makes my entire evening.
Was just thinking "Huh i hope part 4 of this drops soon." I look and bam, here it is. Cant wait to listen!
Thanks so much Dan!
I need to learn how to break these up so I can enjoy it for a couple days but everytime I end up binging it all at once.
I'm a big fan of the Carlin flow.
When Mr carlin gets deep into the excitement of the moment in explanation of quotes and endstated outcomes he sounds a lot like George Carlin which is another man I adore listening to.
Imagine old Joe doing fireside chats. This was a brilliant move.
Never clicked so fast on an upload!
The only one I paid for was worth.. the ghosts of the ostfront.. it's about the western front.. Germany and Russia.
@@michaelflowers6654 they are all worth it imo!
YES! Was just listening to part 3 last week
Excellent! Love this series!
I wish I was seeing more comments from more recently. I listened to this the moment it came out, which it seems like everyone else did too.
Dan definitely has fans absolutely dedicated to his craft, but his work changed my life interests and has played a massive role in the direction my life has taken. I want to see more people finding out about him... Constantly... And hopefully finding out they also are massively interested in history. This stuff is super important
New here, more people ARE finding out
@@sangyedorje excellent that makes me so happy
There are a number of fine history podcasters whom I enjoy greatly.
Then there are Mike Duncan and Dan Carlin. And Dan's longform shows are #1.

Had enough what? Rioting and looting? I agree.

Great job Dan! Hearing all this naval warfare talk reminds me that a Hardcore History on the falklands war would be very intriguing.
Dan was recommended by a friend and I just love Hardcore History.
If anyone returns to Singapore in the not too distant future the Battle Box tour is a must as is the Old Ford Factory and Changi, gives us a real insight into the past, and an appreciation for, the now.
