172 - One Year Since Pearl Harbor - WW2 - December 11, 1942 

Wish I was following you earlier when things looked hopeless.

The tide started to ebb for the axis sometime ago. Many of their boats are now grounded and they aren’t going to refloat anytime soon.

It's definitely special seeing it play out and recounting history

@@dusk6159 Oh yes.

So the Sailor Senshi are named after Soviet Offensives? Can´t wait to see what Mercury does.

Most definitely!

i was having the exact same feeling, like if i watched their documentary of pearl harbor like 1 month ago. What the fuck is happening with time?

It kinda makes you wonder how fast the war would’ve finished if you were alive during it. Or maybe it would be a hell of a lot longer, idk lol

Agree time flies fast 🕰️

@@Alexq79- In that it would've definitely felt the exact opposites. Years would've been eternities.

Sea-based guerrilla fighting in effect... small & "stealthy"/ hard to hit wins out

@@elektrotehnik94 yeah funny how these battles really changed USA navy doctrines

Guadacanal is littoral waters were small vessels can shine.

And like other battleships to enter service in WWII, she was superfluous and pointless in the carrier era. Shore bombardment could have been (and often was) carried out well enough without getting any of the Iowas involved both in WWII (where old battleships, cruisers, and destroyers could do it) and in the Vietnam War (modified landing craft equipped with massive amounts of firepower that could get much closer to enemy positions, and the cruisers and destroyers again), the AA carrier escort role was already covered by cruisers and destroyers, and the big gun is redundant on something that’s going to be attached to a fast carrier task force and thus never going to be anywhere near enemy ships (EDIT: This also means battleships were not needed to defend fast carrier task forces from enemy battleships or cruisers because the fast carrier task force would simply outrun and/or outrange enemy surface units, which they can afford to do because aircraft vastly outrange ship-launched torpedoes or big guns and are much more accurate. Good luck even finding, let alone getting close enough to, a fast carrier force that has a several-hundred-mile lead on you). Before you say “but those decorations!”, most decorations given to ships are there as a mere “participation award” simply for being present at a battle (even if the ship did literally nothing). All of New Jersey’s decorations were given for actions in which she was merely present or only did relatively minor duties that could easily have been covered by other, more strategically useful assets.

@@bkjeong4302 except fast carriers needed fast battleships for escorts to protect them against battleships and cruisers. That is why they were there with the carriers. It is not as if Battleships suddenly become superfluous overnight.

​@@bkjeong4302 Heavy surface units did perform useful roles in WW2. For example covering forces not equipped to handle enemy heavy surface units when there are no carriers around. Admirals not using them properly doesn't mean they were useless or superfluous. A Battleship group containing New Jersey and a few other BBs hanging out north of the landing zones in the Battle off Samar for example could have made the costly stand of Taffy 3 unnecessary and wrecked Admiral Kurita's Force A quite handily.

@@PalleRasmussen Fast carriers DON'T need protection against enemy battleships and cruisers, unless they’re being outright incompetent (which is the only reason Glorious was sunk by gunfire). Any carrier fast enough to need such a fast escort is fast enough to simply outrun and outrange enemy surface vessels. The whole point of a fast carrier strike force is that it simply stays out of the range of enemy surface units, which allows it to attack with impunity if weather conditions permit. Even at night, all the fast carrier force has to do is just maintain the lead it had during the day; the enemy surface ships wouldn’t even find the carrier force from hundreds of miles away (due to the ranges of WWII-era surface-search radar), let alone reasonably get close enough to pounce. The navies of the world THOUGHT battleships were necessary to protect carriers from enemy battleships and cruisers. That doesn’t actually mean that was true. I SPECIFICALLY POINTED THIS OUT in my previous comment when I said the Iowas were never going to be anywhere near enemy surface ships

@@bkjeong4302 I agree that the ressources poured into battleship construction in WW2 could have been put to far better use. However, from a technical point of view, they are amazing machines.

G'day, NEWSFLASH...! Adiction and Intelligence are NOT causually related. Goring's mother abandoned him when he was 3 months old, leaving him with Household Servants while she went back to German SouthWest AfriKa where her husband was the Imperial Colon-ial Commissioner (Traumatic Maternal Deprivation Syndrome). The next time Herman saw his mother he was 3 Years old, and after running the length of a Castle Dining Hall to reach her..., Herman jumped up to grab her Waist-belt with both hands and commenced kicking her legs with his little hobnailed Boots, drawing blood from her shins, screaming..., "You left me...! You LEFT Me...! YOU LEFT ME ; You BITCH...!" After he was shot in the leg during the Beer-Cellar Putsch he was given Morphine - and BINGO ! For the first time in his life he encountered something which filled the hole in his personality left there by having been abandoned with Strangers as a baby. And for the rest of his life he was forever trying not to take too much Pain Relief. By training I'm a Registered General Nurse, and by personal autodidacticism I'm an Aeroplanologist....; and I've passed Exams in both Pharmacology, Psychology, & Psychiatry. If you were sufficiently fortunate as to have grown up in a happy stable prosperous loving stimulating Family environment..., then Bully for you ; but do not delude yourself into thunkin' your experience and reactions to be in any way universal. And if you are not a Junkie, then what that means is merely that you were not sufficiently damaged as an infant, child, and adolescent for you to be unable to resist whatever Pain Relief you can access. Here's a triptych of Datapoints... The "Survivors" of Childhood Sexual Abuse display 18 times the Suicide Death Rate of the background population, as well as 48 times the Deathrate from Accidental Overdose, and those Deaths cluster around 18 years following the Abusive Event/s. (Melbourne University School Of Medicine, Australian Medical Association Journal, February 2010...; reported on ABC Radio National). Goring was an intelligent person, but he was a deeply damaged and thus dysfunctional unit. His selfishness was a consequence of how he was raised and trained ; and when he grew up he CHOSE to attempt to become as selfish as he could possibly be. Wherever you behold a Selfish vicious Arsehole...; there you see someone who survived a truly shitty start to their Life. Count yourself lucky, and "Judge NOT thy fellow (Hu)man, Least thine own Heart (Soul) Be weighed in the Balance, against the Feather of Truth...., And found to be Wanting..."

Sad day for him and all other animal rights activists worldwide.

@@2Links G'day, Goring was NEVER an Animal Rights Activist. He was a Medieval Baron with a Forest HUNTING Preserve. It was illegal for other CitiZens to hunt in his Forests, because he wanted his Game to be tame and easy to approach and Shoot from up close. "Forest Conservationist"...? Technically, yes ; but ONLY because he wanted the Animals and Birds to be easier for a lazy fat old Junkie to be able to kill for the fun of it. He collected paintings & sculpture, too, but he was not a Patron of the Arts either. Just(ifiably ?) sayin'. Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

For the Americans out there, 12/10/21

December 10, 2021 - unambiguous dates work in everyone's variety of English.

It became inevitable, because the Axis overextended its supply chain and forces.

They lost in 1940. They failed to destroy Britain and the Commonwealth and Empire rallied ! Massive man power and unlimited resources ! Even with a neutral America they had failed ! The British would just keep on doing the same coalition building and attacking as and when they could just like before. Egypt lost ! 😢 OK ... now you have to fight East to India or South to Cape Town ! On and on ... until the Bomb is dropped on Berlin ...

@@hachwarwickshire1718 That was Germany's most fatal mistake, even more than invading the USSR in the first place. Defeating the UK, or at least coming to a settled peace, would have been the solution to Germany's biggest weakness which was its inability to import resources by sea. Not saying they would have succeeded in the end if they still chose to invade the USSR, but at least they wouldn't have been doing it with one hand tied behind their backs and running out of steam in October 1941 because they demotorized their army to save fuel.

The Battle of the Atlantic (between German u-boats and Allied convoys between North America and the British Isles) won't be decided until June, 1943. That's just after the month the Germans will call "Black May" after taking unsustainable u-boat losses while hardly sinking any Allied ships. That's a stunning reverse from the previous pattern where the Germans were sinking many dozens of Allied ships per month for the loss of only a handful of u-boats. Black May results from a combination of Allied technological and numerical improvements that rapidly tip the scales against the u-boats. Although u-boats will continue to sink Allied ships until the end of the war, they won't interfere much with the Allies' ability to move incredible amounts of materiel - and men - across the Atlantic, making the invasion of Normandy possible in just a year.

@@danielmocsny5066 I wonder if it would be possible to figure out how much of that ability to move supplies across the ocean was solely due to the huge number of transport ships being cranked out by American shipyards versus the additional escort carriers and destroyers. It would be interesting to combine all the charts of Allied shipping losses, German u-boat losses and Allied ship production and see if there was a point where nothing the Germans did was going to affect the outcome of that battle. Seems like even without the advances in sub-hunting technology the Allies were destined to win by sheer brute productive force.

The Germans regularly broke the British codes.

The reasons the Axis lost will always be multi-faceted. There was never only one reason but many.

Also, all the axis nations demonstrated shocking levels of incompetence when managing what resources they had

Japanese & Nazis both obviously spread themselves way too thin. Instead of taking some victories and collecting the spoils, they just carried on like they wanted the whole world.

What about Rodan and Mothra?

@@stevenguild2707 all of them. Even the robot one. Lol

Would allies and axis unite against Godzilla? Does common humanity overcome fascism vs liberalism when faced with such a monstrosity?

I think china would unleash it's top secret weapon called the coronamissle..... It's would end it all

Godzilla was awoken as a result of US nuclear test bombs. I think the original from about 1948 is good viewing. I recommend watching it.

don't worry, they will be.

Dave, thanks for pointing that out, it's a glaring error in this free but otherwise phenomenal series.

I agree. it's not 'nitpicking' at all. we want to be as accurate as we can. so if there is a little 'flaw' in this monumental series, (because after all, they can make a mistake every now & then, we're all human), then it is up to us in the 'audience' to 'correct the record'. we don't hold it against Indie, & I'm sure he'd appreciate any minor corrections.

Stan, apologies but I was being a little tongue in cheek there, who is that pedantic about such a phenominal series, really!

Yes the Luftwaffe investigated the use of glider in Hayward Stopped At Stalingrad p291-3 says they weren't used because 1. strong winds and bad weather 2. were very vulnerable to fighter attacks 3. no way to get them out of Stalingrad once they landed 4 facilities in the pocket were insufficient to handle gliders at airfield 5. If landed in open country there was not enough fuel so to reach and transport the supplies back to where they were needed.

It was Marshall and King who wished to capture Casablanca first to secure Morocco and southern end of Gibraltar in case Spain intervaned militarily in favor of Axis and attack Gibraltar. It was an empty and overrated fear though (British wanted to land on Tunisia as well but they were overruled) since after Rommel's decisive defeat at Second Battle of Alamein , Spanish became more and more neutral and Allied sided

Latinamerica be like: what if we declared war on Japan?

yeah, he actually said that if any bombs fell on Germany, then you could call him, 'Meyer'.

The only thing dumber than Goering was anyone who believed him twice.

Interestingly enough it was the Guadalcanal campaign, rather than the battle of Midway, that was more often cited in the postwar by surviving Japanese generals & admirals as the the point where Japan had lost the war.

@@lycaonpictus9662 I'd say that's because if you are losing suddenly, it takes time to admit it. By Guadalcanal though, the scales had already tipped. Guadalcanal was what really cemented it or rather brought the Japanese to the realisation that the scales had tipped.

@@tams805 I'd rank Midway above Guadalcanal in terms of impact as well, but only just. In many respects the impact of the Guadalcanal campaign is underrated, at least in popular memory, as the campaign tends to be overshadowed by Midway or by more bloodier and more attritional (albeit less decisive) ground battles that followed. In many respects the Guadalcanal campaign was the Kursk to Midway's Stalingrad.

@@lycaonpictus9662 Midway did significant damage to the Imperial Navy. To me, the Pacific War was about he strength of the navies and air force. During the Battle of Midway, the Japanese also invaded a couple of the Aleutian Islands, during which a Zero was forced down completely intact. The US captured that plane and reverse engineered it, figuring out where it was vulnerable. That helped quite a bit. But there's no question the lengthy Guadalcanal campaign exhausted the Japanese Army and Navy. They learned they would be unable to push the US out of the South Pacific theater.

The Battle of Midway was obviously important but the Americans were fighting as underdogs. It wasn't a real reflection of the course of the war. Rather, it was the Americans punching above their weight at the time and getting rather lucky with their dive bombers stumbling on the Japanese carriers at the best possible moment for the Allied cause. In the Guadalcanal campaign the Japanese probably had more luck, handing the USN some of its worst defeats in history. Yet the Allies still won because at this point the war is starting to mature into a battle of attrition. The US war machine is gearing up and is already able to outlast Japan in a longer contest of production and logistics, even while Operation Torch gets the lion's share. Along with New Guinea, Guadalcanal represents the first time when the US and Commonwealth forces meet the Japanese on the ground and turn them back. Allied air power is the difference-maker as well. Even though America has hardly any of its pre-war aircraft carriers left, Japan cannot capitalize because Japan does not have enough remaining carrier strength of its own to take out one Allied-held airfield. Henderson Field is the key to the whole campaign, since it greatly complicates Japan's ability to resupply its forces on Guadalcanal. America's war machine will soon be turning out new ships, airplanes, tanks, and everything else at a pace the Axis cannot hope to match. Then it will just be a question of how many Japanese soldiers, sailors, and airmen will commit suicide in a pointless attempt to delay the inevitable Allied victory.

I would argue that the show is credible.

I wont like your comment. I will offer my sympathies for your loss.

@@shawnr771 Thank you. It always felt weird for me to "Like" someone's comment about a death or something of that nature as well.

but you also can't forget, that the soviets were also mad at the Western Allies for not opening up a second front, in order to take pressure off themselves.

@@norwegiantactician I was using the old CD based game. I need to try a download.

More than just the limited Japansese production numbers, the comparison between theirs and American production capability was downright scary for the IJN. The US Navy could afford to keep losing capital ships and carriers in big stupid attritional battles, because there would be three ships to replace the one sunk by that time next year.

It also affects their Anti-Submarine capabilities with Destroyer losses. US Submarines in 1942 are mostly ineffective because of torpedo design problems. But in 1943-44 these problems are resolved and it will have very negative effects on the Japanese cargo and passenger ships.

@@legatvsdecimvs3406 The battle of the Atlantic tends to be at the forefront of what people imagine when think of submarine warfare, but the US submarine campaign against Japan was the most successful submarine campaign in all of human history. It just didn't get as much war time press. By war's end Japan's merchant fleet will be crippled, possessing only 12% of it's prewar shipping, with the nation starved off resources and the economy a shambles. 55% of those losses were sustained against US Submarines, which also sank 30% of the Japanese navy.

Being their first real campaign, you expect the Americans to be not very competent. I would have thought after Monty's example that the same wouldn't be true of the British. It just goes to show how rare military competence really is. The same sort of mistakes made by 8th Army pre-Monty are made by the British and especially the Americans in the Tunisian West.

@@steved5495 he US Army was going through a learning curve as all armies do when they enter combat especially against an experienced force. If you want to know about that and how the US gained experience and combat effectiveness read Atkinson An Army At Dawn

@@caryblack5985 Atkinson was my source. Until this channel covered 8th Army's campaign against Rommel I hadn't been aware of how badly the British fought pre-Monty. Both Anderson, 1st Allied Army commander, and Fredendal, II US corps commander, fought their forces as battalions, regiments, and brigades rather than as divisions and corps. The attacks all lacked mass and, at least for the Americans, lacked higher supervision of officers for whom this was the first time in combat. This is going to bite them eventually.

@@steved5495 Yes it is a very good source .It should be even more widely read especially for those who think the US just began with only winning battles and had nothing to learn from the enemy.

well, if you like this series so much, then spread the word.

@@GaldirEonai Thanks for your reply. I don't know much about tank tactics, but recon is super important because vision is so restricted. Why didn't the Russians do adequate recon in order to know where those hard points were and then shell them out of existence before attacking? It just seems like there were a lot of incompetent officers in charge. I suppose Stalin's purge of the officer corps in the late 1930s was still being severely felt at the end of 1942. And when the fast way to rise in the ranks was to be a yes man communist, the talent was squelched badly unless they would spout communist nonsense.

It's easy to sit here 80 years later and criticize everything having a complete map of the situation on the battlefield not covered in fog and snow. While most of the commanders on the Soviet side here of recently organized units had received only accelerated training and were generally very young(many Company commanders were only 21 years old and inexperienced, made many errors in judgement). 1. Soviet operational objectives were kept limited. 2nd Battalion is to take point A and proceed to point B the next day. More experienced commanders who received complete training could shift forces to support nearby units or could decide to go around heavily defended enemy positions, but this was not the case at this point. 2. Soviet Forces by December 1942 had extended beyond their own supply lines which were dependent on functioning railroads to the north. Ammunition and fuel was limited because of this. 3. Weather was generally bad in Southern Russia in December 1942 limiting Soviet aircraft operations to support Ground Forces. It also contributed to overall poor situational awareness on the battlefield with the enemy's(Axis) defenses obscured by walls of snow and fog. 4. Using radios would be counterproductive, as German Field Intelligence units would listen to what was being said on unencrypted channels of radios of this time, which had only a few set frequencies for all units. This was like telling the enemy what you planned to do. Before Operation "Uranus" Axis positions had been mapped out with exact locations for Soviet Artillery to hit and neutralize. Here the situation was constantly changing where unknown to the Soviet unit commander he could find himself surrounded because his neighboring unit was not where it was supposed to be. The German Wehrmacht is not yet depleted and still has many experienced reserves.

30-40% of soviet tanks are light tanks, not only t34s

@@legatvsdecimvs3406 I know it is easy to criticize so I do little of it unless there are things happening that should have been thought of beforehand. Heavily politicized armies are almost always incompetent until the cream can finally rise to the top. It is horrifying that the Russians had to take such casualties in order to make much headway. This went on throughout 1943, with them taking terrible and colossal losses at Kursk. The Germans took bad losses, as well, but even at Kursk the Russians generally took up to five times the losses the Germans did. I doubt that it was due to inferior courage on the Russian side. That only leaves equipment or leadership. I am not a fan of political generals, regardless of which side they are on. They are much too often incompetent or just plainly corrupt. Thank you for your reply and the points you outlined! 👌

@@МихаилЧерников-п2т OK, but that still leaves 60 to 70% of their tanks being much more capable. Training must have been not as good as their enemy's. Thank you for your reply. 👌

The US involvement was inevitable, with or without the attack on Pearl Harbor, the USA could not allow the Axis to dominate Europe and East Asia.

Invading and occupying the Philippines would still bring the US into the war. Maybe there wouldn't be the white-hot passion on the American side, but "Remember Bataan!" would replace "Remember Pearl Harbor!" The battleships would remain the core of the US Navy for a while.

It's not important if they saw them as lesser men,that is just propaganda fodder for masses.Suposedly,in Mein Kampf, Hitler thought of Japanese as useful tools of German expansion,there is even a scene in Japanese 2011 movie Admiral (Yamamoto) where he and colleagues scold some of subordinates for blindly trusting heavily edited Japanese translation of the book where he pulls out German original and in fluent German reads and then translates to them such a passage. Geopolitically,they certainly would have eventually fought one another.There are no eternal allies, only eternal interests.

You mean Japanese ? Well for Nazis the top race was Germanic so yeah they there inferior. However since they were allies and fought the same enemy, the Japanese were granted "honorary aryen" title by the German propaganda. Once the war over it might ending in a sort of "Cold war" between former axis powers, with Germany controlling Europe and Japan - Asia. However I don't see how US could be defeated/occupied by Axis power since none of Germany and even Japan had the capacity to do so

Phillip K. Dick's novel "The Man in the High Castle" (the book, not the gawdawful TV show) is one of the best alternate takes on what might have happened if the Axis prevailed. Essentially a grimmer version of the real post-WWII world with worse conditions in colonial lands (instead of the independence movement of the '50s) and a slow-simmering cold war between Germany and Japan. Hard to say if they would have eventually launched WWIII or gone the way of the US/USSR conflict that stayed a proxy war until the Soviet system fell apart.

Yes. Perhaps not immediately, but that was planned for some undetermined day in the (possibly far) future. The Nazi belief system was really bizarre, not just because of their race theory nonsense, but because there was no room in it for cooperation between peoples or nations. It was all a zero sum game where every nation was in deadly competition for mastery over each other. After colonization of the eastern conquests, which would have also involved genocide on an unprecedented scale, the Nazis envisioned that their empire would fight future wars against both the United States & nations in Asia for global hegemony. The German state, in their hands, would have been in a near constant state of either war or preparation for future conquests. Peace was merely a temporary pause to prepare for the next.

Wikipedia has an article "Shock troops" which explains the difference. The article begins with: "Shock troops or assault troops are formations created to lead an attack. They are often better trained and equipped than other infantry, and expected to take heavy casualties even in successful operations." The article goes on to explain, among other things, the USSR's shock armies in WWII.
