Open City: Japanese Invasion of the Philippines 1941 - Part 5
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- In late December 1941, following the failure of MacArthur's gamble to hold the Japanese invaders at the beaches, the fate of the Philippines seemed sealed. As the Japanese successfully stormed the shores of Lingayen Gulf and Lamon Bay, splitting Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines, in half, MacArthur had no other alternative but to order his troops to withdraw to the Bataan peninsula, where he planned to make a last stand and at the same time he decided to abandon all efforts to defend Manila declared it an open city, to save the capital from destruction and to minimise civilian casualties.

This is brilliant. Thank you, my father was with the USAFFE - he survived the Death March. I will share this with my kids, they never met their grandfather. Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much!!!
I read Day of Deceit by Robert Stinnett. You should read the message FDR/Navy sent to McArthur to let the Japanese hit US bases, even though McArthur's listening stations had every chance to sink Japanese warships carrying J troops with US subs in the area. All our American and Filipino allies died due to FDR's insistence to follow MccCollum's 8 Point Memo.
@@luigivincenz3843 thanks. I may have to get hold of this book to get a full understanding. Based on my web search so far, the memo refers to provoking Japan to attack USA. Are there other books or literatures that will confirm?
It's always great when this channel posts. Cheers from Tennessee
Cheers!!! 😀
loved the presentation and animation of this video! just great! Rival with original "Battlefields" series! well done !
Thank you very much!
Finally! ❤ Long waiting shessh
Thank you for this
Excellent! One of the best presentation of the USAFFE retreat into Bataan. So many details woven into tightly packed gripping story lines, brought to new life by the animation and the video clips. Thank you for a refreshing take on this rather obscure campaign of the Pacific War.
Thanks!
And let's never forget Bataan. Allied soldiers were forced to walk many miles on foot alongside Japanese soldiers ... also on foot. Being Americans, they should have been given bus service! Oh, and lets not forget how they attacked the wives and children of those soldiers, carpet-bombing and firebombing American and Australian cities. Oh wait, no they didn't. That's what the Allies did to the wives and children of Japanese soldiers. Hmm...
that was an amazing presentation
Thanks!
I did three foreign service tours in Manila as a printing specialist 1983-87, 90-95 and 99-2001 managing the US Information Agency printing center which was established there in 1950 shortly after the war and visited many of the locations mentioned in the video and also stayed at the Ambassador’s residence at Camp John Hay were the surrender if the Philippines back to the Americans was signed. I also had a chance to visit Corregidor several times and the MacArthur suite at the Manila Hotel where he lived before the war, which while I was there on my first assignment was taken over by rebel soldiers trying to overthrow Cora Aquino after the ouster of Marcos by the People Power Revolution. During my second tour there the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo
forced the evacuation of Clark and the decision of the US to pull out of Subic due to lack of support by the Philippine government at the time.
This is the best explanation of the WWII occupation and retreat I’ve seen.
Thanks!!!
Your government made the terrible mistake of supporting the yellow movement of the tyrant dictator cory aquino just because your country kowtowing with maoist china during that time.
Now both our countries suffer the consequences by my country Philippines suffering to communist terrorism and USA suffering from the progressive movements painted with the same literal color that ruined my country in the 1980's
Liked the video.
Thanks!
Actually good timing of this video because I am currently on vacation in the Philippines; way down south on Samal Island. I’m midway through video but I heard of a several old abandoned Japanese bunkers just south of general santos city but only one is visible; rest were either destroyed or completely buried. Not sure if any fighting happened there though.
I hope your channel will grow as big as that of Kings and Generals and History Marche...
Nice video as always ♥️
Thank you so much 😀
The past is the past learn from it. Japan and the Philippines now have a strong friendship unlike China. Let Japan and the Philippines grow even stronger together.
Winston Churchill said, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
We should be friends with our neighbors in Asia not from far away country like the United States that’s thousands of miles away across the Pacific Ocean.
@@VnVDSKB1 As soon as China gets out of Japan's and Philippine's waters
@@VnVDSKB1 You can't befriend with someone that don't want to be your friend but want to dominate you. You can submit to their demands to appease them, and surrender but that's not being friends is, that is a subject-master relationship. Is Vietnam ready for that kind of relationship with China? Imagine telling the Vietnamese to be friend with China and the Khmer Rouge in 1979.
@@VnVDSKB1 Friends with a neighbor who steal from you in broad day light. Do you shake hands with a man who squats on your drive way and says he has a right to it because his ancestors used to use it as path walk. I think you're a chinese troll.
I love the voice of the narrator!❤
Thanks!!!
Man you’re GOOD
Where is the color video, of the Japanese tanks entering a town, and Philippino civilians waving Japanese flags at them, in the video?
A good question.
Watch time 23:01 and you will see Philipinos welcoming the Japs.
That cover image Japanese parade was not taken in the Philippines but rather in Japan. Notice that kids were wearing white ball caps 🧢. Filipino kids back then did not wear those caps.
25:20 meron na palang Camel na sigarilyo noon!!panahon pa ng hapon.
Phil History and Historian Just asking Before they surrendered in Bataan there were 71,000 Fil troops and 11,000 American troops(more than)while the japanese based were only 37,000(Japanese army)
Japan have air superiority . Backed by armored division as force multiplier . While philipppine defense have depleted food medicine and ammo
Feeling weird watching this, from manila since birth

Thank you for this wonderful comment!
In the old days philippines intruders getting easy to conquer the philippines because of low count of soldier war weapon and big impact low count of population.
It was acquired by usa in the spanish american war of
1898!
I am curious about the island near manila on the right side. What is it?
thats are group of small island
cabulao island, palasan island,lumaya island,kalotkot island,and soon etc.. that face the pacific ocean
Is this channel produced or narrated by Mark Felton ?
No.
@@FromtheBattlefields Thank you for the swift reply. Your presentations are so excellent I had to SUB just from watching one video. Keep up the good work. US ARMY 1968 -1971. I had 4 Uncles who served in WW2: 1 in Europe, 1 in Pacific, and 2 brothers that served on the home front. All were Army vets.
@@robertrobert7924 Thank you very much!
Wish that you also do content similar like that during fil-american war
Doug dropped the ball -- made rookie mistakes for a General
I don't agree they are poorly trained philippine scout's marksmanships at that time were one the of the best in he world as they were trained by McArthur personally. They doesn't lack perseverance courage either as they did all the fighting and dying delaying Japan's war plan in asia for months and saving australia.They just lacked ammunition and equipment
Gung gong
Japan's leaders made very bad decisions just right before WWll began. One of them was the choice they made when they picked Hitler as their ally. Who could forget the bombing of Pearl Harbor, a deadly provocation that led to the US all-out involvement in the war. They'd underestimated and miscalculated many things throughout the conflict. Among them was the courage and determination of every Filipino who fought alongside the Americans.
Right after France surrender, the Soviet Union came very very close of joining the Axis powers. Only one man stopped that from happening, Adolf Hitler.

It's the other way around Joe. US imposed economic sanction and oil embargo against Japan. So, Japan was provoked. I'm not even a Japanese....I'm a Filipino. US government's big business is just war, plain and simple with no regards to human lives. You can witnessed it right now courtesy of Israel...thousands of innocent men, women and children are dying there right now, not to mention thousands of dead too in Ukraine. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about American people in general. I'm talking about American governments and Western EU gov't including UK. As a matter of fact Americans and EU, UK people in general are great people. It's just their government are so oppressive...more like evil (sorry for the lack of a better word). So, your government does not represent you anymore. The question is who are they representing? I leave that to you to ponder about. Peace, no hate, just an opinion.😊✌

Successful countries success almost always went to their heads😢😮
History is always our part of our Life! But other Filipino like to Change it like the Reporter From Mindanao she tells that US never Help Filipinos when Japanese Conquered Philippines! But We know and we have Videos Picture that times and Americans stay on Air Force camp so beautiful until now is best spot for living! And she was Telling that all Fakes! She did not know our history that Death March and Grave of Soldier who sacrificed life to give peaceful for our future until now and Veterans we salute you thank you for what you did to our Country and give us freedom Filipino and American Australia European othe Soldier who fought to defend our Homeland we salute you! We will not forget what you done! For some reason some Filipino disgrace our history like that resporter From mindanao she never know anything and she want to change it that China is friend and helping us Rather than US! We know Americans ever since i was kid!
Japan must be stopped from getting involved in the defense of the Philippines. accept china
8 hours after pearl harbor attack no red alert status was being given to all forces in the Philippines tsk
FDR & Churchill wanted the USA 🇺🇸 in the War.
It was, they did not have internet like now so it is relative. The plan was to hit Formosa the next day which is modern Taiwan. I can type o this subject for a LONG time and studied this part of the war. Point is they got the news later, communications is a BIG issue and do not feel like typing paragraphs, but check the story, you can see what actually happened.
we should have stayed a Japanese state
I’m just so embarrassed by our WW2 toy tanks… What are they? Panzer II? In 1941?
M2 Stuarts... yes lol tiny
C'mon we're asians..look inside your pants
Why would the Philipinos deserted and went back to their homes? Were they afraid?
After all of this war and conflict. The USA, Philippines, Japan, Germany, Vietnam are friends. Even the Taliban in Afghanistan, show signs of wanting to have a partnership with other nations in the far future. We need to wish for powerful nation like China to be more peaceful also.
China more peaceful? They are the most peaceful already.
Probably Philippines would have a best economy now if only Japan did it in a diplomatic peaceful partnership. War will always not a great way to coexist in a region.
Almost 13,000 Filipinos deserted the battlefield and went home, what a disgrace.
Source?
All Filipinos should have deserted and allied with the Japs to drive away all white colonialists..
The Administration let this happen, before make friends for the benifit of Export, and Many Laborer in China. God bless the Philippines. 🙏
Regardless of who the enemy is today, the fact the Philippines is still in adequately prepared to defend the territory after decades from the last war highlights the failure of the succeeding generations of Filipinos to govern the country and state.
The sacrifices of our predecessors were in vain apparently.
air force compromising of ww1 relics and severely ill prepared thats what the philippine armed forces of ww2 is like now it's the same scenario as the one who's again extremely ill prepared scrambling on getting defenses ready when there's a huge force peaking by stupid senators would be the same stupid senators who wouldn't fund the defense department see what they have done
wow
😢😢😢
1.Luzon is not the largest island in the Philippines.
It is
Yup true, its Malaysia
and today Japan and the Philippines have a pact of mutual interest in the South China Sea.
Not Another Mistake....as they said. The USA is now more than prepared. And Filipinos too.
LOL. LMAO
You are delusional ir and been top Philippines and also a US veteran. Philippines has almost zero military defense unless they are defending against the Congo.
Nukes delaying world war 3, if they don't have nukes world war 3 happen long time ago.
😢😢
One of the biggest mistakes U.S. military officers made was not informing the U.S. soldiers that the Japanese military would not respect any U.S. army surrender.
Japan learned,, and now Japan is telling us , sorry,, but we learn too love, Japan we will accept this,
Stop depending on the US to always have our back just because we have a treaty!!!! Remember that promises our meant to be broken
kung nanalo siguro ang japan sa giyerang yan,baka disiplinado at asensado na tayo ngayon
Ang plano ng Axis Power, Japan, Germany at Italy, gagawin tayo lahat mga labour. Sila lang ang amo, tingin nila mababa uri tayo. Sila lang ang amo dahil Supreme Race daw sila.
oo. mga kurakot kasi ang nanalo!
The lessons of war.. But untill now we Filipinos never learned. Soon China will invade the Philippines bec of its strategic position. Yes U.S will defend us but without a sence of Nationalism and a true heart of love for our country we will never win. 😢
I salute your analysis. Our armed forces are using their profession in milking cow attitude. No sense of patriotism. Unlike that those of World War 2. Now cowardice is the attitude.
Ikaw lng bat mo kami isali kung duwag ka?🙄
A Chinese Invasion is not gonna happen because they stand to lose more by invading the Philippines Militarily if they do invade its another Russia situation but the US and other surrounding powers will probably directly intervene lol
Actually that mistake will not be carried by Filipinos during that time because we are under the US. Colony..in short that shortcoming will be on their sides not us but in terms of that theory it should be to admit that we must learn from that mistake..
😅bobo ka puro pasaway tao dito katulad mo ..nadamay lang Tau dati dahil sa kano
Never test u.s patience they will advanced and conquer
Ganyan mangyayari satin s china kaya ngaun p lng wag n pabully
Until now, Americans are afraid of being overwhelmed by sheer numbers, Vietnam, Philippines and lately Afghanistan!! 😂
What matters now is the Chinese invasion of our exclusive economic zone and their clandestine entry into our country, conducting illegal operations from mining to illegal gambling and putting up companies heavily subsidized by the Chinese government like construction companies. All to the detriment of Filipino businesses.
China is too strong now, it's best not to upset them.

It was bait and switch. Bait with the truth, then switch to the lies. The truth is that the Filipinos cheered and welcomed their honorable Asian liberators, glad to see the western occupiers of their country chased out. Unlike the bankster-controlled western forces, Japan treated the Filipinos like brothers, with respect, allowing and encouraging complete local autonomy.

Scariest time of our history since Japanese dont care the civilians
All of Asia still hates them.
They were in many ways worse than Nazis to everyone.
Its not the japanese but the footsoldier from manchuria, korea and taiwan are the one who do most of the treachery
Poor military command, MacArthur plan is to pull all the forces to Bataan trapping themselves as they video have shown instead of using the knowledge of the terrain to counter attack the Japanese forces to push them back as much as they can.
Actually that is not the "plan" the US air power was knocked out all over so they had to go into super defensive mode.
as a filipino, we could be japanese citizen right now if the us forces didnt comeback to free and save the Philippines japanese imperial army. We could be belong to the most industrialised and sophisticated country in the world.
Shut up, man. I am also Filipino, and you are embarrassing yourself with that nonsense.

They didn't fight the Pinoys, fought the American colonists and the puppets serving the colonizers. They they were there to liberate the Phillipine from western colonizers. That day, had Pinoys not fight the Japanese on the American behalf, a lot of death and suffering could have been avoided.
in the first place, they should not have invaded the Philippines....
Americans did not colonize the Philippines, no colonies were built, only military bases. Also, the American government offered the Philippines independence twice, in 1912 and in 1933. The Filipinos turned it down.
@@saltyfriesman5330 "liberate"
@@saltyfriesman5330 would you say the US invaded France on D-Day?
@@saltyfriesman5330 look at Thailand, how many people were killed by the Japanese "invasion"? Japan even helped Thailand to recover some former Thai territories in Cambodia and Laos that were taken by the French.
Manila declared open city so Japan didn't destroy it,when Americans returned they were the ones who destroyed flat Manila,just like they have done to Berlin, Tokyo..
Your CLICKBAIT of Filipinos waiving flags is misleading. Japanese during the Second World War was an enemy and was never welcome.
In truth The americans and philippnes didn't defeat the japanese in man to man combat the only one who force the japanese to surrender is the atomic bombing in hiroshima.
You need to go back to school.
@@thetruth1859❤
Only the Russians defeated the million strong army in Manchuria in 11!!! days. America should learn.
This is the US propaganda movie. Japan didn’t invade Philippines, but liberated it from the US who betrayed it after a war against Spain and colonized, after Pearl Harbor attack. Then Philippine got independent in 1943 without the US.
You are the real propaganda of very liar and very wrong accusations,the propaganda is your own very liar and very wrong accusations,even you,do not believe your own statement.
