The Japanese launch attacks all over Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and launch a preemptive surprise attack on the American Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. The war is suddenly much larger. In the USSR, the Germans find themselves now heavily on the defensive after the failure to take Moscow, while in North Africa, Erwin Rommel decides he must withdraw out of Cyrenaica to await reinforcements.

Five days ago, we covered the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor minute by minute in real time over five hours. If you missed that, then check out episode one right here, you'll love it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Joh2BXPsrXs.html NOTE: An error snuck through our controls regarding the Japanese casualties at Wake, we are working with RU-vid to have it fixed before the video goes public. We apologize for this inconvenience. Japan attacked a whole variety of places that day, launching massive offensives all over SE Asia and the Pacific.

Fun fact: December 11th Poland also declared war on Japan, but what makes it interesting is that Japan... rejected it. Yup. Hideki Tojo response was: "We do not accept Poland’s challenge. The Poles, fighting for their freedom, only declared war on us under pressure from the United Kingdom.". Also despite this declaration Polish and Japanese intelligences continued cooperation against USSR and... Germany. Spoilers: The symbolic peace treaty was signed in 1957 with total causalities of this war being: 0. Though I think that there were some Poles serving in British army in either Singapore or Hong Kong, I'm sure I read about them somewhere, but I'm unable to find anything about them now. Also Witold Urbanowicz was flying with Flying Tigers. But none serving directly in any Polish army. Fun fact about the fun fact above: It was the only Polish war declaration in XXth century.

Same could be said for the battleships as well. Although if they hadn't been blown up in Pearl Harbor already, they would have been during the first major naval engagement the US tried. I have a mental image of some geriatric admirals chest-thumping in a conference room somewhere - "Just wait 'till we get 'em within range of our big guns! Then we'll really give 'em what-for!!!!" Then sending the entire fleet out en masse to get anihilated by the Japanese carrier squadrons a hundred miles out.

@fakecubed 11 месяцев назад

The battleships were too slow to keep up with the carriers and they lacked the support ships to go on any voyages to the Philippines and wouldn't attempt it. At best, the battleships would have remained close to Oahu, and eventually gone to Guadalcanal after Midway. It might be interesting to speculate about how things would've been different at Savo Island; the invasion of Guadacanal and Tulagi was done with essentially all available forces that could be scraped up and sent and that might have included the older, slower battleships. But it's hard to imagine them participating at all in the Coral Sea or at Midway. Coral Sea was too far, and if they'd been sent to defend the Midway coast it would give away Nimitz's trap. But all this speculation is kind of nonsense. If the battleships and carriers were both intact after Pearl Harbor, I don't think Yamamoto would still be in command, and Nimitz probably wouldn't be in command of the American forces either. Who knows what the new Japanese leader would do, and what Kimmel would have done in response.

@kemarisite 3 года назад

Actually, a number of the submarines in the Western Pacific were older S boats (6 of the 25 subs in the Phillipines) which used the older Mark 10 torpedo and could not use the Mark 14 because it was too long for their tubes. An example is S-44, which gutted the cruiser Kako with a spread of Mark 10 torpedoes after the Battle of Savo Island in 1942. Mark 14 production and stocks were so low at the beginning of the war that many newer boats used the Mark 10 because it was available in the depot.

@robertkoons1154 3 года назад

Submarines weren't very successful on Japanese side either of 9-12 fleet subs around pearl harbor, plus 6 midget subs. Not one US fleet unit was hit.

Im always impressed of how good the japanese did in 41 and 42 despite how little ressources they had. Their strenght was an outstanding officer corps, proficiency at night attacks, and high morale. They had arguably the best officers in the world. However their strategic thinking can get little praise as they ended in the worst position possible because of it by the end of the war, with the IJN and the IJA being pretty much independent entities.

@emisat8970 3 года назад

The DoW was really just a formality at that point. U-boats were sinking American shipping to the UK and USSR, and American warships fired back to defend the convoys. Hitler (ever the gambler) thought: Well, if the Japanese can tie up the Americans in the Pacific, they'll pull convoy escorts from the Atlantic which will make starving Britain easier. Same logic he used to justify invading the USSR; "The British are only resisting because they hope the Soviets will do the work for them. If I take the USSR, they'll make peace." Seems ludicrous to me or you, but Hitler up until 1941 had always been extremely lucky with his gambles.

@mrb3nz 3 года назад

it helps to understand once you realise that Hilter (along with Tojo, Mussolini and Stalin) is NOT a fully rational strategy genius. All of these dictators are driven by their irrational conviction that their opponents are "inferior" and "uncivilised". They don't see the war situation in factual terms, they are blinded by their bigotry. It will become even more apparent in the 2 last years of the war

The coverage of Pearl Harbor was/is probably probably the best I have ever seen. You put faces to the material and made it real. I seriously wept after watching all ten episodes. It is first class and second to none. Seriously, after watching Pearl Harbor it put the human element into the story and brought it to life. It was so much in fact that when Roosevelt was giving his speech you could just see all those who died during the attack. I k ow you are think why is the attack on Pearl Harbor was any different than the deaths that were occurring all over the world. I guess it was the way the Japanese went about all this, and the fact that it was a U. S. Territory is another.

@@rcgunner7086 Stalingrad went on for months and much of it was hardly epic - house-to-house fighting, battles over ruined apartment blocks. Sometimes troops could hear the enemy breathing in the room next door while they reloaded. It got to the point that Germans began to tell jokes mocking Wehrmacht communiqués - "Our troops captured an entire floor in the building and despite fierce enemy counter-attacks managed to hold onto two-thirds of the communal kitchen." Except for some highlights, not as easy to make into gripping historical documentary.

@lycaonpictus9662 3 года назад

Definitely not. It would be impossible to cover those battles in the same amount of detail in real time. They have a lot more moving parts and they play out a much longer period of time. Politically, Pearl Harbor is also a more significant event. Stalingrad and Kursk were military turning points, but they didn't fundamentally change the nature of the war. A couple people have asked if Midway would get the same coverage and I'd bet against that as well for similar reasons. It was militarily significant but didn't really alter the nature of the war. The Pearl harbor attack and the attacks elsewhere by Japan around the Pacific on the same day, along with the response by Germany and Italy, would end up transforming what were still two entirely separate conflicts into a single, global war.

@@nicholasconder4703 I didn't say he was the worst. I said he was one of the worst. So why did I say that? Blunders such as this for one. Short and Kimmel were cashiered for Pearl Harbor: their failures were nowhere near as bad as the destruction of those B-17s was. They didn't know the Japanese would attack at that time and place; it was a sneak attack. MacArthur knew the attack was coming, let his air forces get smashed on the ground and then lied about it. Beyond this we have his massive self-aggrandisation, his pomposity and his disgraceful treatment of allied forces, particularly the Australian Army. Worst of all there is his catastrophic failure during the Korean War. He completely ignored the possibility of the Chinese entering the war and then was massively insubordinate to Truman. Dreadful commander.
