Ikr I recently found him like a month ago and was sad when I noticed he hasn't uploaded without any update for the community from 9 months I can't believe he is back
He's back! Unbelievable, I'm really happy you're back my friend. I was hoping you were doing well! Love the content as always and I can't wait to watch.
Balthasar, thank you for taking the time to present your viewers nothing but the best for your videos. Even though we don’t get uploads as regular as we wish, I would prefer always quality over quantity. You definitely have one of the best channels when it comes to historical warfare. Thank you! ❤
Watching your old videos, when the notification popped up, I could do nothing but oblige! Thank you for your hard work BazBattles, we show nothing but our gratitude!
Just yesterday night I was checking the comments on your last video relating to the people who missed your content when I asked myself, how awesome it would be if you’d upload to suprise us all and put us at ease. Hope you’re doing well! Awesome content as always.
This is the most informative account I have ever seen with information about wrong ships being attacked at the beginning and other details not mentioned elsewhere. Thank you. I visited Pearl Harbor in 2017. It was a very moving experience.
Tbh the thing that I like most of these videos aren’t just the videos alone, which are great, but the narrators voice! You and epic History TV have to have the best narrators voice that I’ve come to come across UA-cam, with no offense to any other UA-cam Chanel of this type of videos
15:36 the phase was thought to have originated from admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. It appeared in the 70s film Tora! Tora! Tora! At the film ending, he said, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.” In reality, the admiral never said the quote. It's believed it was taken from napolean quote, "China is a sickly, sleeping giant. But when she awakes the world will tremble". An abridged version of the quotation is also featured in the film pearl harbour & midway (2019)
The USA always brushed off the fact that a radar operator spotted the mass of Japanese planes were in the air but was told it was naval air exercises, despite no american carriers were in or near that area. The commanding officer that day was NOT up to date on available info despite its availability.
What are the odds? I literally checked your channel yesterday to see if I had missed anything, because it felt like an eterinity since your last upload. And then you upload something today!
Heard this story told several times by different tellers. Nevada getting underway is consistently mentioned, but her magazines being empty....those mad lads. They weren't going anywhere, and possibly even knew the smaller bombs couldn't threaten her without a magazine hit, which were empty. They were presenting a moving target that could take those hits. Magnificent. How many lives did they save by being the shield? Always respected anyone that serves, and things like this are why.
So good to see a video about Pearl Harbor, learning about it definitely affected me as a kid. My grandpa on my mother's side served in the navy and was stationed there - thankfully after the attack had happened.
I was just wondering the other day where you went. Wish you had done a battle that most people don’t already know about but still good to see you again and I look forward to future videos :)
youtube channel Drachinifel made a set of videos on the recovery and repair efforts to salvage the ships after the attack, really interesting topic in itself and really showcases how superior the US forces were in logistics and ingenuity at the time.
My great grandfather was on the Utah the day of the attack, after it sunk he would be moved to the USS Salt Lake City heavy cruiser which would escort aircraft carriers in the doolittle raid.
Suprised you didn't note that the modifications the Japansese made to allow their torpedoes to operate in shallow water had been stolen from the British after Japan studied their attack on the Italaon naval base of Taranto, the OG Pearl Harbour.
I'm listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History series Supernova in the East and I just got to the Attack on Pearl Harbor. It's great to have this amazing piece to provide context and compliment the podcast, and vice versa!
Glad you’re back! Interesting fact about Pearl Harbor: The attack was inspired by a book called the Great Pacific War by Hector C. Bywater, which inspired Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto
Within the course of WWII, the Japanese lost all 6 Pearl Harbor carriers, both Pearl Harbor battleships, and their dreams of an empire they exactly went to war over.
One small caviat for me (history buff coming in full force hehe) The "nearby repair ship" was USS Vestal, and she was already on fire from eariler attacks. The detonation of Arizona in fact blew out the fires on Vestal like a birthday candle, saving the ship and allowing it to later keep Enterprise alive through many, many battles. Otherwise the video is great!
Also, WV might've rolled over like OK did, but her crew managed to flood the other side of the ship (albeit at the expense of a few unlucky enough to be trapped by the water); as a result, she sank upright, ready to be refloated.
And just when it seemed all hope was lost, and that the light was fading from the world… a hero appears. Glad to have you back, Baz. Stick around a while!
Welcome back! I wrote a paper in collage that argued against this notion of the attack being a failure. It achieved exactly what the japanese hoped to achieve. It bought them 6-9 months of uncontested control of the pacific and the time they needed to capture the raw materials needed to conduct the war. Had the carriers been present and utter destroyed (unlikely) then it would have bought them an extra 3-6 months as the essex class were starting to be comissioned in december 1942.
Exactly, i don't know when that bullshit begun to spread, but Pearl Harbor was and always will be a Japanese victory, the newer generations in the US just want to wash it over. But fails to acknowledge all the factors.
Baz battles is alive, I thought something might have happened to him/them in real life, good to see him/them back again and it's damn good to see the animation back again.
He's alive! Always happy to see your videos!
Indeed
Between the both of your channels it keeps me alive 👍
@Kings and Generals Where is our remastered version of the Diadochi series?
I was just about to post the same thing!
Frankenstein moment
“When the world needed him most, he returned.”
Also, your animations have improved greatly, the first vid I watched was Operation Rheinübung.
That was my personal favorite. I love the Bismarck.
My heart skipped a beat when I got this notification. God bless ya Baz, it’s good to have you back.
Same reaction. I was like "No way..." and then "Finally !"
@@Paludion Lets hope it doesnt take another 10 months for the next video
Ikr I recently found him like a month ago and was sad when I noticed he hasn't uploaded without any update for the community from 9 months I can't believe he is back
Same. What a pleasant surprise
A lost battalion vid would send me over the moon
My man goes away for twelve months and then thinks he can drop a bomb, (no pun intented) like this and not saying anything SMH..... Welcome back
Yeah back with a sneak attack !
Well he chose an appropriate battle for that...
Not to be annoying but he’s been away for 10 months
It's so fitting that you released a video on THIS topic after that long silence. Truly a Pearl Harbor moment for us......
Fantastic to see Baz Battles is back once again! Perhaps a World War One battle sometime in the future?
We should get to that in 3-5 years
This shit gave me goosebumps by the end when they talked about no aircraft carriers were present during the attack. Wrong move 🤣
I understand your request, but read 'A world war I battle sometime in the future' again. Ha ha!
JUTLAND JUTLAND JUTLAND
Another masterpiece, best medium to educate history. Thanks to Bazbattles, and glad that you are back
He's back! Unbelievable, I'm really happy you're back my friend. I was hoping you were doing well! Love the content as always and I can't wait to watch.

I'm a simple man, I saw BazBattles on my notif, I clicked.

Really glad to see you back Baz👍.
I had to pinch myself 4 times this time 😁
YES! I had almost lost hope of seeing another BazBattle.
Good to have you back, Baz. Easily my favorite historical battle UA-camr
Never click so fast once I see Raz upload new video
You've been dearly missed. So good to see you back Baz. :)
The man, the myth, the legend. Baz is the man that got history videos like these trending and popular. Welcome back dawg
"Honey, wake up. A new BazBattles vid just dropped."

Celebrate!! Missed your videos, super happy to see new content.
I have maybe 4 YT channels with alerts activated and this is one of them, you made my day when I saw you had uploaded! welcome back!
Glad you're back 👍
I rarely comment but I'm just gonna comment a second time and say that I cannot verbalize how excited seeing this on my home screen made me.
Wow I'm so happy your not gone! Please make more content. I miss these videos immensely.
I was bombarded with joy when I got the notification...

Glad to hear your crispy vioce again!
The ending gave me chills, I love these videos!
what I like about your videos is that you don't engulf us with details that too much of them is boring, but rather you keep it simple. great job
So good to see a video about Pearl Harbor, learning about it definitely affected me as a kid. My grandpa on my mother's side served in the navy and was stationed there - thankfully after the attack had happened.
Oh I'm so glad Baz is back. There's few channels that give me more joy.
BazBattles makes us feel, we all should have been Naval Commanders. Amazing edit and explanation as always.
I'm soo happy that bazbattle came back, and not only that, he came with a bang. I love that new introduction BazBattle :D
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one 😁
The quality of these videos is unmatched
Great work
I was just wondering the other day where you went. Wish you had done a battle that most people don’t already know about but still good to see you again and I look forward to future videos :)
Glad to see you posting again!
Absolutely incredible that you are back! Love your content and cannot wait for more to come ❤
BAZ BATTLES IS BACK!!! Thought you were dead dude..thank GOD!
I click on this channel first time in a year and I see "video uploaded 1 min ago" what are the odds
Ohhh yeahhhh finally you are back! Ive been looking for this blessed moment for a long time. You just made my day.
We missed you Baz.
Nothing better than seeing a new upload
Welcome back, king 👑
Yes! Welcome back, the battle is about to begin!
Holy shit you're alive

Glad to have you guys back
BAZBATTLES IS BACK!! 😍*Town crier*
I have missed the voice of the great commentator ! Welcome Back
*"THE RETURN OF THE KING"*
The legend has returned. The Gandalf of narration! Awaited by thousands. Thank you!
youtube channel Drachinifel made a set of videos on the recovery and repair efforts to salvage the ships after the attack, really interesting topic in itself and really showcases how superior the US forces were in logistics and ingenuity at the time.
Drachinifel does some good naval videos i think my favorite video is "the Russian 2nd pacific Squadron - votage of the damned"
Baz battle!!!!! You come back and bring another pacific battle which i always waitinf
My great grandfather was on the Utah the day of the attack, after it sunk he would be moved to the USS Salt Lake City heavy cruiser which would escort aircraft carriers in the doolittle raid.
Lived to see the first slap back, huh?
@@stevemc01 yup

Interesting fact about Pearl Harbor: The attack was inspired by a book called the Great Pacific War by Hector C. Bywater, which inspired Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto
The Japanese also used the British attack on Toranto (the Italian fleet base) as inspiration for the attack.
@@questionmark05 The Japanese were considering an air strike on Pearl Harbor long before the British attack on Taranto.
Finally!!!! Another long awaited video from the events of World War II... I HOPE FOR MORE!!!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
Yay although I think it will take them a while to get there usual view count
Within the course of WWII, the Japanese lost all 6 Pearl Harbor carriers, both Pearl Harbor battleships, and their dreams of an empire they exactly went to war over.
I’m so happy you are back

I was so bored that I watched all your old videos! Glad you're finally back!
We have missed you. So happy you’ve returned.
And just when it seemed all hope was lost, and that the light was fading from the world… a hero appears. Glad to have you back, Baz. Stick around a while!
The King has returned!!! This just made my day. SO happy you're back. I hope for good
Great to see you back! I missed the excellent breakdown and visualization of the various battles and campaigns.
The man the myth the legend who literally introduced me to historical content on UA-cam! ❤️
Oh my God its been eons
Where have you been my man

Bro you came back!!!! I can't believe this! You really came back!! We've miss you so much!
Amazing video, and awesome to see you post again!
Channels like these help me keep my sanity. Holy Jesus he's back. Man - never stop.

Just when I think you can't get anymore obsolete you go and do something like this...
AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!!!
