      I'm really happy you're getting sponsorships, but whoever sees this comment: Don't use BetterHelp. They're terrible in literally every way, read the wikipedia article on them.
      I recommend reading more into them though, or watching a youtube video on them in the background.

      BetterHelp's appalling behaviour is well-known and well-documented by now:
      - they sell patient data. These are people in need, who are treated as a data point.
      - they do not vet the credentials of any of the therapists they list. There's even a disclaimer in their T&C
      It's a data-harvester masquerading as a clinical service and you said "Yeah, but that cheque though."
      And if you're OK with that, I'm not OK with you: bye-bye, enjoy your filthy lucre.

    Those interested in the kaiten should read 'Kaiten Special Attack Group, A Story of Stolen Youth', the autobiography of Yutaka Yokota. He gives sobering accounts of the brutality of IJN training, the dangers and challenges of learning to operate the kaiten, and vivid accounts of the missions he carried out and his remarkable tales of survival. This is a must read for anyone who wants to learn the true story of this fearsome weapon.

    It was bigger than ordinary torpedo. But I thought it was a little small when I thought of a human boarding it.
    But at the same time, the cockpit of Zero-sen was also cramped, so it was probably just right for Japanese at that time.

      Yes, human lives have never been worth anything to the rulers of authoritarian states. Just numbers. Only in democraties they at least have to try to minimize unnecessary casualties as having too many young men killed just to increase the ruler's power or the profits of businessmen can affect elections in the home country. Not that he real rulers are elected anywhere, politics is just a charade to give the people an illusion of being able to influence something.

      The whole idea of intentional death to the user is chilling and indicative of both the power of Bushido beliefs and the desperation of the military leadership to demand this of its own combatants. While more than one allied pilot who knew they were too heavily damaged to escape enemy capture and knowing how Japan treated its POWs choose to make a kamikaze with their aircraft I can understand that split second choice to "die now and take a few enemies with you" rather than die a slow death of starvation, disease, and physical abuses in a POW camp. To be sent on a mission with zero probability of survival and nearly zero probability of mission success speaks to the high sense of duty these guys had that they would do it at all whether they volunteered or were voluntold to participate.

    It's quite ironic that they put a ad for Betterhelp in a video about a kamikaze vessel.

    It honestly reminds me of Italian torpedo "SLC Maiale" ("Low speed torpedo, "pig"). Maybe u could do a video about it. It saw extensive unse during Italian raids to UK ports

    いったいなぜこのような兵器が作られたのか。
    それらを知ろうとすれば、戦争がいかに人を狂わせるかを理解できる。
    同じ歴史を辿らないためにも人々はもっと歴史を学ぶべき

      いったいなぜこのような兵器が作られたのか。=それはただ、一身を犠牲にして日本国民を塗炭の苦しみから救おうとする、若い青年の救国の情熱と至誠のみがこの究極の兵器を作り上げた。海軍機関学校出身の黒木博大尉と仁科関夫中尉の二人の青年士官は日々悪化する戦局に接し、なんとかして祖国の危急を救わんと、相(あい)協力して回天艇を開発し、自分たちが開発した新兵器で相次いで散った。黒木大尉は開発途上の事故で、海底に擱座した試作回天艇の内壁面に、仁科中尉に後事を託す長文の遺書をチョークで書き残して殉職し、後を引き継いだ仁科中尉は回天を実用の域にまで達せしめて、人間魚雷回天としての初陣である、ウルシー泊地襲撃において、自ら搭乗して出撃し、敵艦ミシシネワに体当たりして、見事これを轟沈させた。この動画中、西尾碩夫中尉とあるのは、仁科関夫(にしな せきお)中尉の誤りです。
      彼らと多くの特攻隊員の死は決してむだ死にではなかった。精査してみると特攻作戦は戦死された特攻隊員の方々をはるかに上回る人数の人命損失を米軍側に強要し、これが
      米国の占領施策を緩和なものとし、周辺諸国に日本人の精神力のすさまじさを刷り込んで戦後80年にも及ぶ丸腰での平和をもたらしてくれた。仮面ライダー1号の藤岡弘氏はそう主張しており、自分も、そのように思います。

    At 9:15 you talked about the handle that set the depth and stated there was no way for the pilot to manually set it.
    But then you also stated the pilot would surface and use the periscope to acquire range and bearing, etc. to strike the target, sometimes doing that twice.
    That would take the pilot adjusting the depth of the torpedo/submarine manually.
    That was a bit confusing.

    • @AndrewCZ47
      @AndrewCZ47 5 місяців тому

      No manual steering as in manual control of the dive planes, but they could change the depth preset the torpedo tries to keep. On a normal WW2 torpedo you set this before launch based on target's draft, here they could adjust it from inside using that crank.

      I'm glad they did though, because it's shown me something most ppl aren't even aware of (everyone heard of kamikaze planes, but torpedos?). And what's more, they show it in a pretty technically thorough way

    8:15 something about being submerged underwater in this dark cockpit and knowing it’s the last thing you’ll ever see is horrifying to me. It’s hard to put into words but at least with the ohka you were flying over the ocean in the sun to your end, not hurdling towards your death in a giant torpedo surrounded by metal beneath the surface of the ocean.

    I wonder if it would have been possible at this time to design a kind of UBoat figther. Where the mainsub stays safely away a few kilometers and detaches its small submarines. They get close to their target where they have a high chance of releasing and hitting with their torpedo and then get back to the mother sub.

    • @AndrewCZ47
      @AndrewCZ47 2 місяці тому

      Germany could actually build guided torpedoes late in the war. Nothing like modern ones, just "stay pointed at the loudest sound source", but still enough to give you a good hit chance even on a destroyer. Slower bigger stuff like cargo ships and tankers were basically toast.
