What was the best U.S. Military Unit in WWII?

BANZAIIII

Hooah... ;u;7

Netflix please make a show about this!

Ever heard of the devils brigade?

ryo

That intro ad was unbearable

To the north, The Canadians released the Japanese-Canadians from THEIR internment camps in 1949.. years after the war ended. Good job Canada.

Americans of Japanese descent charging towards fortified positions held by Germans in Italy. We truly live in a society.

I can only imagine the sense of utter confusion and chaos of the Germans hearing a bunch of Japanese charging at them in the middle of a European battlefield.

I had the honor to meet a man from the 442.I tiled his bathroom for him.He is a very humble man.

Tenno heika banzai 😊

Lmao cod 2 american charge sound lmao

If 442nd Fought In The Pacific Theatre
IJA : BANZAI!!!
442nd : BANZAI!!!

It’s all holding up until you shout banzai but the other side charges

I know this is said a numerous times now, but... Sabaton should make a song about these guys and hopefully call it "Go For Broke".

Yup, as stated in other videos, my grandfather fought in the 442nd and was said to have nothing but good things to say about the military, but his and his friends' treatment at boot camp in southern U.S. states would make him wholly disinterested in traveling to the continental U.S. after the war until my brother and I were born in California, some 40 years later.

One of the biggest problems with the 442nd was that they were American citizens caught between a rock and a hard place: they had relatives and heard stories about Japanese American citizens locked up in prison camps on the West Coast, where all of them lost their businesses, homes, and savings, and those who had volunteered for service had to perform well in combat, or it might bode poorly on American sentiment regarding Japanese Americans. Simultaneously, "suicide" missions were typically passed on to the 442nd, like taking machine gun bunkers using zerg tactics, forcing them to take on some of the hardest missions with minimal support and maximum discrimination by "fellow troops." As a kid I would regularly ask what my grandpa's job was in WWII: my dad's response was that he "took out machine gun bunkers"; I thought this made him some sort of grenade specialist, not realizing that they were probably engaged in "Operation Protect Whitey."

That moment when America manufactures better Japanese warriors than Japan

春秋大义，各事其主

Get the shotgun , quick

German General: “Get Hirohito on the phone right god damn now!”

Just to play devil's advocate I think another reason the 442 was assigned to Europe rather than just a lack of trust but also potential conflict between those who having been fighting the Japanese in the Pacific who probably wouldn't appreciate these soldiers fighting alongside them

Always remember that there is a 9 y/o Asian who is better than you at something, football, math, whatever

My Great Grandfather served in the 442nd. God bless their beautiful legacy, and never forget the injustices that happened to American citizens. Go army. Go for broke.

These soldiers are the definition of “if you can’t defeat them, join em.”

I live in a town exactly in the middle of the Gothic Line, north Tuscany. We have a Brasilian troops memorial to remember the volunteers fallen in these places. But I always remember with gratitude also all the other fighters who freed my country.
May them be eternally blessed.💓

Usually armies don't use soldiers of a certain origin to fight opponents of same origin. It happened WWI when italian culture soldiers of the Austro-hungarian empire were sent to fight against Russia instead of the italian front.

But do you think maybe they got all those medals because they thought they had something to prove to the United States that they were Americans

Wow I’m just wow

GO FOR BROKE!!

The intentment camps was perhaps one of the greatest shames of the US during WWII. These men brought honor to their ancestory as well as America as a whole. God rest their souls. ❤

Any fool who says immigration makes us weaker, show them this video

Were their families in the camps tho

Hitler: Italy switched sides again? Oh well, nothing of value was lost. At least Japan is still our ally, right? RIGHT?!

442nd

Wtf. We Western born Asians speak English. Wtf ..... did they really go around yelling banzai l??????

Alert! Friendly Fire is now prohibited.

This should me remade into a move ...
salute to those men

Turns out, my Great Grandfather was a Staff Sergeant in the 442nd 100th Infantry Battalion and fought in Italy in World War II against the Germans. I do still have a picture of him in his uniform and cap but I think that's all I have honestly.

Oh god

burger grease is thicker than blood. I'm proud to be non-anglo American

BRO BANZAI AMERICANS. ACTUALLY FIRE

As a Asian With Caucasian Ancestry Damn this is Awsome!

So you're telling me that Mr. Miyagi is a phony and this whole time was stealing Valor?

banzai deez nuts

The Chichijima incident (also known as the Ogasawa incident) occurred in late 1944, when Japanese soldiers killed and consumed five American airmen on Chichi Jima, in the Bonin Islands. Maybe if they were a little more humane to prisoners, then they would not have been despised.

These guys had to fight way above the curve just to prove themselves in doing so they achieved a level of ferocity that is seldom seen. But you seldom see anything about them? I guess they dont fit into the woke agenda.
