They would also have one of the larger & more successful resistance movements of the war. By the time US forces would return to the Philippines in 1944, Japan only effectively controlled 12 of the nation's 48 provinces. Guerillas had the rest. They're right up there with the Yugoslavs.

[@bisayaradiodramaoverload1621]

Also, majority of the Philippine Scouts unit with American flags in the video are consists of highly trained Filipinos commanded by American officers. After the surrender of Bataan, many of them were executed by the Japanese because those units inflicted the most heavy casualties to the Japanese. They are really professional soldiers unlike the Philippine Army units who were hastily organized and lacking in training and equipments. It was said that when the scouts arrive to reinforce the front, Philippine Army units get passive boost in morale.

The best explanation about the War by Kings and Generals.

Also the Holy Trinity of War food which they love to eat until they passed on. Tapioca, Taro and Sweet Potato. Like they can eat it boiled, Mushed, fried etc without seasonimg and they always say, you don't face the difficulties we went through last time that's why you do not appreciate the food.

[@gslidevideotester8592]

The Indonesian place names are actually spelled with the pre-independence Dutch orthography instead of modern Indonesian, which is closer to English pronunciation rules. The pronunciation of the city names remain unchanged. Therefore, "oe" is actually pronounced "u", and "dj" is pronounced "j", and that's the modern Indonesian spelling for these cities. Examples include "Bandjermasin" (Banjarmasin), "Moeara Oeja" (Muara Uja), "Martapoera" (Martapura) and so on.

[@dickyadhadyanto4986]

It was 'the Points' where the US for first time experienced the "death before surrender" attitude of the individual Japanese soldier. The Points was only taken after almost every single Japanese soldier had been killed. Of the 2000 Japanese that were committed at 'the Points', only 43 returned to their lines. And this would not be the last time, where the Japanese showed what they thought of surrender.

[@ronchristiantenala4056]

I like how detailed K & G describes and mentioned diferent units and their exploits just like the one where Ed Dyess and his men have fought. Well I guess this concludes the failure of the Japanese push in the Bataan which Gen. Homma have boasted it would only take 45 days to defeat the combined Fil-American defenders. Put in mind the only well trained units are the Philippine Scouts and Philippine Constabulary the rest of the conscripts or volunteers didn't have enough training they were even young as 18 years old. Imagine them facing up the well equipped and seasoned Japanese soldiers. They have put up a good fight destroying Japanese myth of invincibility. Battling Bastards of Bataan still holds!

Yes, they screwed up the pronunciation of city & island names, I heard since childhood, among my parents, aunts, and uncles. Most of my uncles where in the KNIL (Dutch colonial army), though most of those ended up in POW camps, for the duration of the war. The mispronunciations aren't that bad (compared to other videos), but its good to hear them again, as all my relatives from that era have all passed. I was just a kid when I first heard all these ACTUAL war stories, and I'm now in my 60s.

Following the defense of the Philippines over the course of this series takes me back to when I was in uni taking an elective in Philippine military history; there I learned in detail about the poor training and inadequate equipment of the Philippine Army prior to the war. Only the 1st and 2nd Divisions were considered professionals soldiers; the rest of the divisions were reservists called for service mere months before the war, many of whom had never fired their rifles until actual combat with the Japanese. Most have heard/read about the tenacious defense of the Filipino and American forces on Bataan, of course, but the way this documentary goes into the details really helps drive home just how desperate their situation was, and just how determined those Philippine Army troops were despite being outmatched in training and equipment. Not to mention how significant of a role the elite Philippine Scouts (US Army units of Filipino soldiers under American officers) had in the defense, constantly plugging gaps, counterattacking, and pushing the Japanese back. The archipelago may have been under the US flag, but it was still their country that the Filipinos were defending. Hope this series will get into the Filipino guerrilla resistance as well. Aside from their contributions fighting against the occupation, they had a significant role in the liberation campaign as well, being organized to fight alongside US invasion forces, and sometimes liberating entire provinces by themselves. Long live the Fighting Filipinos and the Battling Bastards of Bataan!

Great video as always. I have a suggestion for the advertisement you showed about owning land in Scotland and receiving a lord or ladyship. Many African-Americans and other members of the African diaspora have 'Scottish blood' in them due to the enslavement trade and multi-generational mixing. If you added some b-roll of a member of the African diaspora receiving a land title, that could boost your sales into our demographic as we also watch this content. Thanks for your hard, it's just a suggestion.

This time the Japanese Army respected the tenacious of Filipino and Americans. The Japanese totally believe that Americans are weak as Adolf Hitler describe. The FILIPINOs in the other hand are just stubborn and has a very high ego. Even in other wars in Korea Filipinos shown this stubbornness against the Chinese communist. The Battle of Yoldong were the Fighting FILIPINOs repel the great spring offensive of Chinese and North Korean troops. The FILIPINOs is like somewhat an animal the more it gets wounded the more it gets madder it's like a wild dogs. The Japanese also astonish when the FILIPINOs choose to be beheaded than to leak information to the Japanese. After the fall of Bataan the Third republic of the Philippines was established by the Japanese. Giving the FILIPINOs somewhat freedom and independence in 1943. But the new government of the Philippines didn't really cooperate to the Japanese. Jose P. laurel the guy who was being choose by the Japanese to be the president. Refuse to the Japanese request to declare war to the U.S as laurel said to the Japanese. There's no reason for the Filipinos to declare war to United States especially they Filipinos consider the Americans as a close freind. That's why during the 3rd republic of the Philippines which established by the Japanese Government. Didn't get the support of the Philippines the fact that theres no Filipino that inlist in the Japanese Army. The Japanese really wanted to have Filipino in the army but the new President refuse to do so. .
