- This episode covers the entire battle of Attu aka "Operation Landcrab" part of the Aleutian Islands campaign during WW2.
Often overlooked, the two week long battle of Attu was akin to many of the battles in the south Pacific in its brutality and loss of life. The battle culminated in a massive suicidal banzai charge that would have made even the last samurai Saigo Takamori proud.
The batlte of attu saw 15,000 men of Major General Albert Brown’s 7th division, under the overall command of Admiral Francis Rockwell face off against 2630 of 2nd district North Seas Garrison led by Colonel Yasuyo Yamasaki. The Americans would be facing numerous difficult terrains such as Jarmin's pass, Moore Rise, Clevesy pass, Fish Hook ridge, Prendergast ridge, Sarana Pass and Buffalo Ridge. Alongside the Japanese, the Americans would be facing hypothermia, trench foot and terrible frost bite.
The battle of Attu saw 2872 Japanese killed in action or commit suicide, only 28 were captured. The Americans had suffered 549 deaths, 1148 wounded, 1200 exposure injuries with another 614 sick. For Yamasaki and those who performed the final Banzai charge, it was a samurai’s death

I just found your channel. Excellent
A lot of your quotes don’t match with what’s on screen. Quotes from the doctor Somewhere between 9-13 min in
Good video. Just a suggestion, lose the snow animation overlay on the stock footage. It works on the maps but not there.
The red curtains sandwiching Patreon message is brilliant; excellent expectations management eliminating interruption annoyance. Carry on!
I think I have a cousin who fought there with the 7th Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop. He later earned a Silver Star later in the war either on Leyte or Okinawa. He was a platoon sergeant leading a patrol through enemy territory. He and his men came under fire from 3 machine gun nests and a sniper. He crawled around each nest, there a grenade into each one, and then shot the sniper before crawling back to reorganize his platoon. After the war he stayed in the Army and fought in Korea. Ever since the action that earned him the Silver Star, the other soldiers began calling him “The Spectacular Speck,” because his last name was Speck. Sergeant James Speck.
This is great content for those who enjoy in depth content and knowledge, like myself.
Great episode! Quality and detail of these episodes have gotten really good 👍🏻
Man am i happy i came across this channel today amazing job dude.

@@ThePacificWarChannel you're welcome look forward to seeing more of your content you earned a new subscriber.
Awesome video thank you
Thank you for the little known battle
This is my first time knowing details about campaign in Attu island.
Almost all Japanese officers and solders died and We had no way to find what happened.
I really appreciate Japanese translation.
Thank you.
A lot of the primary source information comes from Doctor 辰口 信夫:

Thank you very much.
Good video but some of the Drs dialouge wss not what was put up in the text.
Hey, I'm a big fan of your Fall & Rise of China podcast as well as your videos. Always great content.
That said, a small suggestion: lose the bouncy graphics of officers. Please! Distracts from the video a great deal. At least for me.
Anyway, another great presentation of an under-represented battle!
Thanks a lot, will find tune the commander overlays =)
☺️👍

Lol got me. Huge Kenny vs Spenny fan by the way.
@@ThePacificWarChannel eh! my man. not many people know KvS. lol
E vO😢
At first I thought, wow, this small island that doesn’t have significant American immigration sure does have a lot of English ridge and valley names!
Then I realized… the names were given by “immigrants” alright.
May we strive to avoid such horrors happening ever again.
Similar to the New Guinea Campaign and other places during the Pacific war, most ridges, hills and such received names from men who died taking them.

I’m just here to dislike for the Ai art
Go cry about it somewhere else, I bet you also complain about creators using footage from games such as War Thunder in 30 minute videos on tanks that only have a few surviving photos or videos.
well theres no pleasing you, obviously from your pfp the only art you like is naked 2D minors
@@killianlile173 I hate when people cry over simple things. This is a great history channel
Waa waaa 😭
@@WarMonkeyOG Ikr, and they act like there's tons of footage or pictures of this battle when there isn't lol
