Fun fact, Lütjens never gave permission to open fire. After not responding to Captain Lindemanns request to open fire, Lindemann supposedly said :” I won’t have my ship shot up under my ass, open fire “

“It’s an older code but it checks out” earned my like on this video.

How are you not at 1 million subscribers already? Thought more people would subscribe to this channel by now? The animations are great

The story of the Johnston could not possibly be more insane, honorable and lucky.

Jutland Jutland Jutland Jutland

The 7 being in the explosion is clever

Few minor corrections about the U.S.S. Johnston part. First a 5 inch gun is not a 5" gun turret, it is a 5" gun mount. The second, the "colored dye" fired by the Japanese ships was not for range finding. Each ship had a specific color assigned to it. The reason was so each ship could see where their shells hit and not be confused with other ships rounds. For example Kongo was Yellow, Haruna was Green, Yamato Red and Nagato Orange. For the Iowa class battleships the color codes for AP rounds were: USS Iowa - Orange USS New Jersey - Blue USS Missouri - Red USS Wisconsin - Green

Seeing how your animation production has evolved just shows how brilliant and dedicated this channel is, proud to say I've been watching since the "friend and foe" video with the 101st Airborne division and I look forward to seeing more of your brilliant content

It really makes you appreciate what people did back in those times. Much appreciation for them ❤

We definitely need more of yarnhub cat. Keep going. Your job is great

I feel emotions that I can't describe after watching this

"It's an older code, but it checks out." I know where you got that one from!

I think it would be cool if you did a video on USS Laffey (DD724) She survived getting attacked by dozens of kamikazes all in one day despite her wounds.

Just became a member because I enjoy this channel. Definitely worth $5 a month

hey man don't forget to take a break to so u don't get to tired and keep up the good content dude(:

If anyone is interested in a story of immense heroism from WW2 look into that of Teddy Sheean. I Was told the story of his acts on the HMAS Armidale at a young age and it has always stuck with me. Mortally wounded strapping himself into his AA gun to protect his mates as the ship sank. Truly a giant of a man at such a young age.

You should tell the story about HMAS Sydney vs. HSK Kormoran.

I read "The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors" about the Taffy 3 and the Johnson. What a harrowing tale! Those guys, all of them, were some of the most courageous fighters in all of the war. They turned back a vastly larger force and almost certainly saved thousands of soldiers' lives, maybe tens of thousands. I'm so glad you included this battle. All the attention and resources spent on the Tirpitz has always seemed a little pointless to me. Since it was sitting idle in a fjord in Norway for years, why not just let it sit there and then get it when it tried to exit the fjord? Really great video. The only suggestion I would have for this type of video is to just give us a bit of a pause between each segment.

I've learned more from yarnhub than school.

Stories like the USS Johnston, HMS Glowworm, HMS Campbeltown and many more are why i love history. 🙏

YES I am going to be waiting all day for this!

Fun fact, there was a cat on the bismarck Call the unsinkable Sam

The fact that the captain of the Japanese ship saluted the crew of the Johnston shows how valiant they were, the captain was just like "Yeah you did a good job you deserve some of the highest honors." Most likely.

Such a cool idea to make this 7… videos, thank you yarnhub!

Commander evans what a legend men like this won the war...a true captain went down with his ship

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2427">40:27</a> it was evans who was waving. Like if you noticed too

That was great! Loved looking for the cat! Very enjoyable! Thanks!

This is gonna be on my birthday best birthday gift ever

Damn, that Cpt. Evans from the Yamato battle is a bad azz warrior.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the HMS hood was actually a battle cruiser

Maybe you should make a video about the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Would be fun to watch!

I can't imagine what it would've been like to be on the deck of the Yamato when those 18.1" main guns opened fire. The concussion must have been nearly disabling for anyone unlucky enough to be manning an anti-aircraft gun nearby. I always thought that the crew of a battleship had to all be safely inside the vessel before the main armament could be fired.

Awesome premier man! Thanks for being with us in chat! Also you are where I got my WWII interest from! All I can say is Thank you sir!

Idk why, it’s even better when you guys edited it into compilation.

The "Sammy B" The destroyer escort that fought like a battleship. What a honor to be bestoed upon you. That your bravery made you fight like 10× the ship you were.

Yeah, the earlier animation isn't as good, and isn't as detailed, but it shows how impressive your progress has been. Imagine what your videos will look like in the future!

Captain Lindemann was livid at Lutjens indecision when the Hood and Prince of Wales were firing upon them and furiously told Lutjens, while also ordering the Bridge crew himself, "I will not have my ship shot out from under my ass! Return Fire!"

Love this compilation of naval battles in major wars. You are underrated

Rip to all the fallen graphic cards.

I remember back in the day i would come on youtube and think that it was'nt your video becouse it had such good grhapics ahh the change in grhapics is fantastic

This is an excellent narrative.

Have you heard of the USS Laffey? "The Ship that would not die!". Still here, a museum ship though. Still not dead.

Loved the video. The Yamato segment sounds like poetry! I would like to know and see more but has isolated documentaries, I mean, more of each story in more detail.

The usual practice in naval battles was to have the larger warship in the lead. But the Bismarck radar was damaged when the Bismarck had earlier fired on two British heavy cruisers following it. So the shorter Prinez Eurgen took the lead. This threw of the range calculator and the British salvos over shot the German warships in the beginning of the battle.

Awesome 🎉

The first wave with all cannons shot by the Bismarck actually damaged it´s own main aim radar ; then the infrastructural damages destroyed it´s emergency aim radar, so the cannons were obligated to aim manually and independant from one another, so many were misshotting.

Really great stuff - well done. Good writing and fabulous graphics make this really engaging to watch. Thank you

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1570">26:10</a> literally the most badass man of all time

My dad was one of four men in aft steering who Evans barked orders to at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1880">31:20</a>. Passed away 10 years ago this month.

I like how you used the same battle twice but from a different perspective

So hyped for this!!

Thanks so much for the battle of the Denmark strait! Could we have Battle of Raseiniai with the unkillable KV-2?

Ex navy myself, lucky enough to have never been under real fire ... I can envision this event. Well narrated, obviously well researched; gave me goosebumps.

YARNHUB pls pls pls pls make a video on the battle of opium hill, for context The battle of Opium Hill took place on 14 February 1942 during the Japanese invasion of Singapore.1 Part of the wider battle for Pasir Panjang, the battle of Opium Hill is remembered for the heroic last stand of 2nd Lieutenant Adnan Saidi and the soldiers from C Company of the Malay Regiment’s 1st Battalion, against the 18th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA).2 Today, a WWII interpretive centre named Reflections at Bukit Chandu stands near the battle site to commemorate the heroism of the Malay Regiment.3 Background Opium Hill, or Bukit Chandu in Malay, stands on Pasir Panjang Ridge (now Kent Ridge) and derives its name from the opium-processing factory located at the foot of the hill.4 During the closing stages of the Battle of Singapore, the entire ridge formed part of the western end of the final British defence perimeter around Singapore.5 The ridge also protected the Alexandra area, where the British Military Hospital (now Alexandra Hospital) and vital British ammunition depots were located.6 The Malay Regiment, with 1,400 men in its 1st and 2nd Battalions, was responsible for defending the Pasir Panjang Ridge.7 The 2nd Battalion defended the area between Ayer Rajah Road and the Gap (South Buona Vista Road),8 with A and C Companies of 1st Battalion guarding its left flank along the length of Reformatory Road.9 The 2nd Loyal Regiment, a British formation, was deployed to guard the 2nd Battalion’s right flank.10 Battle of Pasir Panjang On the morning of 13 February, the battle for Pasir Panjang commenced with an intense Japanese aerial and artillery bombardment of the Malay Regiment’s positions, inflicting heavy casualties and disrupting telephone communications.11 The 1st Battalion’s A Company was decimated by accurate Japanese artillery fire and was forced to withdraw from its advance positions.12 In the afternoon, the Japanese 18th Division, supported by mortars, tanks and aircraft,13 attacked the 2nd Battalion at Point 270 on Buona Vista Hill along the Pasir Panjang Ridge.14 Critically short of ammunition, the 2nd Battalion was forced to yield Point 270 and retreated through the Gap.15 The loss of Point 270 gave the IJA control over the western side of the ridge, exposing the right flank of C Company at Pasir Panjang Village to Japanese enfilade fire.16 Despite being outnumbered and outflanked, C Company held the Pasir Panjang Village crossroads against Japanese attacks, strengthened by the remaining soldiers of A Company and two Bren carriers of the Loyal Regiment.17 Unable to advance, the Japanese set fire to the nearby undergrowth and set up a mortar position to bombard the Malay Regiment defenders.18 Private Yaacob bin Bidin of C Company crawled through the burning undergrowth to eliminate this Japanese mortar team with his light machine gun.19 Private Yaacob survived the war and was later awarded the Military Medal by the British for his bravery.20 The battles on 13 February exacted a severe toll on the 1st Battalion, with four officers reported killed and eight wounded along with a “considerable” number of casualties from other ranks.21 The much-depleted 2nd Battalion became a brigade reserve and moved to Alexandra Brickworks, taking no further part in the battle.22 By midnight on 13 February, the 1st Battalion withdrew to reconsolidate its defence.23 C Company left Pasir Panjang Village to take up a new defensive position at Opium Hill on the Pasir Panjang Ridge.24 To its left, B Company was deployed to cover the approaches to Buona Vista Village, while D Company held the Labrador area on the right flank of C Company.25 C and D Companies were separated by a drain of burning oil that flowed from the nearby Normanton Oil Depot,26 whose storage tanks had been set ablaze on 10 February 1942 by enemy action.27 Taken from eresources.nlb.gov.sg/infopedia/articles/SIP_457_2005-01-04.html

The Battle of the North Cape is also very important in WW2; the Nazi Germany battleship Scharnhorst was sunk by HMS Duke of York and other ships on 26 December 1943.

Awesome stuff here. If i may point out a slight innacuracy, Lütjens never gave an order to open fire. Captain Lindemann tells Lütjens "I will not have my ship shot out from under my ass" and orders the guns fired.

Tirpiz took up 3 stories!

Wonderful Narration and Thank You 👌 👍

Yay! The Cat showed his face! All these stories were well done. Its shocking how many men perished.

Professional approach.. Both accurate and interesting. Mindblowing animator skills.

My great grandfather was one of the crew of the USS Johnston.Edit: and he lived to tell the tail

At minute <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2384">39:44</a> the kongo is sailing backwards. Idk if this was intended but it's definitely hilarious 😂😂😂

Thanks for the entertainment:)

I really don't think you need to apologize for the quality of the older videos. I watch these battles with just map data. These are all amazing.

Brilliant as ever ,heard with those Swordfish that they could fly under the Bismarck's guns .. Still amazes me the guts shown by those those crews who flew those things ..

250k away Yarnhub! The big deserved mil is on its way🎉 thanks for these big uploads, I fucking love them.

I love when you post I all Waze want to watch it when a new video comes out 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤!

Thank you for sharing this vid w/ us, enjoyed watching it.😮

I truly do love your videos. Keep up the great work.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1963">32:43</a> I'm glad the kitty cat made it out as well.

Nothing like sailing on the high seas with Yarnhub and the British Royal Navy. Great video my friend.

This channel is absolutely amazing I have no problem setting one of theses hour long videos on before I go to sleep and watch tell I pass out. Thank you for the awesome videos

A sincere salute to every military man ✊ ✊

Gotta love the Return of the Jedi reference in there lol. Never understood why the DEs had the same hulls But not the same engines making them much slower

I hope the battle of the Atlantic shows here

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="685">11:25</a>: That reference... and the very very subtle music change. brilliant.

Over an hour in length....amazing. 😮 keep em comin!

Interessting stories. The mini-subs that strike the Tirpitz are destroyed her so bad that she can´t sail again. The british officers inform the germans at this time to save lifes. The first US-destroyer that sunk in Taffy 3 broke in two before it sunk. They found the wreck of it and after the first torpdeo luncher is no ship.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1594">26:34</a> Commander Evans looks back *with his 3 fingers* to see his torpedos-connecteddd. Holy Smokes O.O

It amazes me how you do these animations! Greatest ones I've seen in a long time, you even explane it really detailed and your voice also helps with your videos! I subscribed when you did a beautiful one about Lydia the white lily of stallingrad! Keep up the good work! Be proud 😊

Great compilation!

Commander Earnest Evans of the USS Johnston was called Big Chief because of his Native American Heritage. Born in Pawnee Oklahoma.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="38">0:38</a> just the Sabaton lyrics, love the reference

love your videos guys keep up the good work can't wait for more

How do you not have more subscribers, besides the infographics show, you are my favorite and probably the best history youtuber

Amazing video! Can't wait to see the next upload!

All day waiting for this moment

i liked how the 2 stories crossed paths

Damn, this gonna have all the stories from all these year

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2370">39:30</a> star trek reference "I'm giving her all shes got capatan"

Great stuff with the animation! Now we get to go through the battles again with great action movies!

1 HOUR LONG GRAB THE DAMN POPCORN BOYS AND SIT BACK AND RELAX 😂 ITS GOING TO BE A HELL OF A GOOD TIME 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You guys are great! Surprised not everybody knows about you guys. What would be cool is the Bismarck but from the Allies side

Les gooo!!! This was incredible! Keep up the top notch work and you will be at 1mill subs in no time!

Great compilation! Thanks gang!

Those British commandos who died in the explosion of that ship... man... that's an unbelievable level of courage, dedication, and selflessness. I'd like to think I'm that brave, but I'm probably not.

Absolutely brilliant. Many thanks. June, 2023.

more rough than my fathers driving, i love the cienimatic action

Love your program very well done so happy I found it
