Astonishingly, The Loss Of Four Victorious Aircraft Carriers Shocked The Japanese People (Ep.2)

Before 50Cent, there was 80 cent

A detailed and accurate presentation of the topic - my compliments. One suggestion: There are plenty of photographs which could be presented coinciding with the historical story line. Why not use them to add a visual reference to the story?

Great historical account, but more images and video would yield far more subscribers. Just sayin.

In one way the pearl harbor attack was a favor to the USN as battleships were hit in the attack and the carriers were at sea. Today battleships are museum displays. On the side his height of 5'3" is my height. Yea

Yamamoto's schedule was not revealed by decoding the JN25 naval code. It was revealed by decoding the Code used by the Japanese army garrisons in the Solomon's. These were obtained by salvage from a Japanese submarine (I-1) that had been sunk in shallow water by a couple of New Zealand minesweepers off Guadalcanal.

Wait til they start losing cities....They started this. Bad Move...

What were the other 14 ships the Japanese lost????

It has been debated whether Yamamoto’s execution shortened the war. It’s possible. As he predicted, the Japanese were on the offensive for six months. After Midway they were on the defensive, Although they did win several battles in the Solomons before their final defeat.

I liked it for a moment till the monotonous voice got to me. Bad choice.

Go is not checkers

The loss of FOUR carriers was shocking. The loss of many veteran pilot, whom they couldn't afford to lose, was also shocking. But they were most shocked as to how the Americans knew about the plan and were prepared for it. They didn't know their secrets codes were broken months before.

why post a narrative as a video? W/O reference to a series of images (at the very bare minimum) and no video at all... this is click bait at best; regardless if the narrative may be informative and accurate?

Boring. I don't think it's accurate but it's so boring I stopped watching.
Ever hear of inflection ? This is probably a computer voice.

Thanks!

This battle and it's outcome was kept hidden from the Japanese people!

Astonishingly, not one word about the loss of four aircraft carriers in this vid. what a waste ...

ああ、くそ says the Japanese commander...

It always amazed me that some of the most senior officers in Japan all warned about getting into a war with the US and that it would ultimately fail in the long run- and were correct. And its a shame that many, MANY men died on both sides as a result of not taking that advice seriously.

Mess with America you get bad results. Our enemies might want to remember that.

The Russian shells were designed and built by Harry Brierly and his brother nothing worng with British engineering. Until it came to ships. ...Even then it is always about desperation and inclusivity.

Germans could not know that their Enigma coding system was unciphered until end of the war. Japans could not know same thing despite Midway defeat and Yamamoto incident!

What was the problem of Germans and Japans?

I would love to see more images displayed during the narrative. Im sure there is no shortage of appropriate material to choose from. This is far and away the best and most informative series ive ever seen, and i eagerly await each installment.

The US Navy made it possible to win at Midway by the action at the Coral Sea. One CVL sunk and one big CV damaged so bad she was out of action for 6 months and one big CV'/s air group so badly shot up it took her 6 months to get a new qualified air group, thus there could have been 6 or 7 CV's at Midway.

It was a calculated risk that the Japanese would not suspect we had broken their military code and won that bet; Yamamoto wagered his life that the Americans had not broken that code – and he lost that bet.
After Pearl Harbor luck was seldom if ever on the side of the Imperial Japanese forces.

What does the picture shown have to do with the Japanese losing four carriers at Midway? I'd say it doesn't apply at all.

“Led Zero”? 😬

cannot listen to AI.

No mention to the 02/07/1932 attack on Pearl Harbor by 150 planes from two aircraft carriers!
Look in up!

I find the Washington Naval Conferences very interesting. The Japanese wanted a larger fleet, but as Yamamoto pointed out, Britain and the US especially had much greater industrial resources than Japan did. If there was no agreement and both sides started maxing out their naval production, Japan couldn't build 60% of the US capacity. Roosevelt was a naval man. He might have done it. It's also interesting to imagine if this might have led to increased militarism in the US.

No. Not astonishing at all.

astonishingly shocked

I am listening to this while translating my Japanese wife's Japanese tax returns to English to submit to Uncle Sam.

"Go" is hardly a "Japanese form of checkers". As soon as one reaches this howler, the rest is suspect.

Roosevelt had an insatiable urge to fellate Joe Stalin, and understood the only way to get there would be to force the US into the war on his side. Frankie surely understood that no Asian culture could tolerate losing face, and that by cutting off Japan's access to resources, they would be forced to attack. Then onec they did, he promptly ignored the Pacific and started shoveling aid to the Commie swill.
Patton said we fought on the wrong side in the war. He was correct, which is why they had him murdered.

I wouldn't call those 4 aircraft carriers "victorious".
