My wife does understand why I watch your videos along with others, I started doing it so I could understand my father who was a sailor in WW2. I came to understand that he had some sort of PTSD from the fears and trauma of war primarily from the kamikaze attacks and picking up the dead, wounded, and survivors of battles, both aviators and sailors. But as he would say, by the grace of God I continued to live. He was a good father to me and I thank him daily in my prayers.

Sounds like my dad. He had a kamikaze slam into his AA battery while blasting away at it off Okinawa. Lost most of the gun crew. He didn't talk a lot about the war only to say that was the most terrified he's ever been in his life.

We were fortunate to have fathers like yours. I understand more about my dad at my age of 70 than I did at 40. He's been gone for 25 years. These presentations are priceless in that we get a glimpse of what there lives were like in the Pacific, because they seldom spoke of it, except to there friends or peers who experienced the same.

I am 76...my dad was in the Corps from 1932 to 1952. He was at Pearl Harbor, Midway, Palmyra, Peleliu, and Okinawa. He would not talk much to me about it. I have found his records for his 20 year service. He was also in the Marines AAA and Defense Battalion. I am so blessed to have known him; absolutely a man of The Greatest Generation.

It's somewhat the same with me. My father was a veteran of the US Navy South Pacific during World War ii. Rarely spoke about it like maybe once or twice. So these shows and conversations help me to understand what my dad and his generation went through during the war. So thank you very much for bringing me closer to my dad.😊❤

My grandfather was a jerk drunk (not a lot but it was part of who he was). I loved the man but I did not fully understand why he drank until I put his WW II service and PTSD. He was a great patriot and it cost him his hearing (artillery) and yes, he drank too much. There was a tremendous cost to their sacrifice.

Judging the willingness of the Japanese power base to let their people starve and suffer and how dedicated they were to their doctrines did Halsey really do any harm? I am not condoning his statements but they might have raised early American hopes as we had as hard nosed fighting commander as the Japanese. I am speculating. It seems the Japanese that created this had nothing to lose at the end. I think hiding behind the survival of the emporer was an excuse. The several hundred year presence of the philosophical concept manifesting in WW2 in the young officers who acted despite orders to the opposite as they felt they knew better might be part of this. I consider your presentations invaluable, information, context and a sharing of you and your guests reasoning processes. Thanks

What a rich program - both in content and presentation. I am 82 years old. Before this, my knowledge of the navy in World War Ii was basically provided by the original Victory at Sea episodes on Sunday afternoons in New York (your shows give so much greater information). I was in high school then, and would watch with my father, an army veteran from the war in Italy. He also didn't talk much about the war, and I can't remember a single comment of his as we'd watch the program. Did all those guys of the Greatest Generation (my dad worked in the CCC, and other jobs during the Great Depression which he said all paid just $35 a month) have a secret pact to remain silent, and decide it was not to be brought up with their kids as they went on to lead their lives as normally and successfully as possible? And they did it very successfully too, as the U S became prosperous under Truman and Ike, all the while presrving the nuclear peace taking up responsibilities as a world super power.

Terrific episode! My dad, an enlisted seaman served on a boat during the Korean War. A decade after his service, he was a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce in San Jose. They had monthly meetings. One month they snagged VADM Lockwood as their guest speaker. The date was 4/10/63. That was the date USS Thresher was lost. My dad remembered that it was an incredibly somber evening.

History has layers. In the Pacific War, there are battles. Within those battles are the units and the individuals who fought what was in front of and around them. "Above" those battles are the contexts of the campaigns, the men who planned out those campaigns, and the shifting/evolving strategies, tactics, and capabilities they deployed. Trent Hone's "Learning War" is helping me see the bigger pictures of what the USN came into the Pacific War with, and the adjustments from battle experiences and improving technologies and resources.

Great episode as always. I think your success is due to:: 1. Knowledge of the subject matter and the CONTEXT of that subject matter. So much of history cannot be understood without CONTEXT. 2. Your conversational style. It really is like sitting at a table with experts sharing a beer or two. 3. Willingness to call it like it is. Your discussion in the beginning about Hedy Lamarr is SPOT ON. She is not responsible for and didn't even contribute to the advance of spread spectrum communication techniques used in WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, or any of the other crazy claims. Frequency Hopping was known at least a decade before that and her (and her coinventor's) contribution (a mechanical method to synchronize the frequencies) was a technological dead end that was not adopted, as it was highly impractical. Keep up the good work!

You're personal touch and ability to impart so much depth beyond the traditionally well known (and often repeated) history of the Pacific War genuinely sets this series apart. Guys - I know you're devoted to revealing the finer details of the war in the Pacific. You are both truly exceptional in this regard. But eventually you are going to reach the end of the Pacific War. SO HERE'S A CHALLENGE: Start planning to deliver a similar series on the Battle of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean as a logical sequel. Those who fought on that side of the globe deserve an equally in depth analysis and presentation of their contributions to the war effort. Thanks again for such a stellar and entertaining production. To quote Seth, the integrity and accuracy of this series is bullet proof - "Tougher than woodpecker lips". 😉 30:52

What makes a young man raised on a farm to join the service. Volunteer, train and travel to a hell hole in the Pacific to lay his life on the line... you explain all of that and more.

Thank you for your work, gentlemen. It's great to hear your reflections support & expand on my study of the war. My father was SM2 on LST 909. The experiences of 15 Dec 1944 during the Mindoro landings became vivd to me at the ship's reunion in 1997. You see, having down 2 Kamikazes, the 3rd turned while smoking, and stuck an aft portside quarter, a few feet from my dad. The LSTs in front and behind were both destroyed. Decades later, while a parishioner he told me that his lame arm was the result of a combat wound--a Japanese bullet struck his M1 & exploded his arm. "What battle?" Replying he said "Buna!, 1 Dec 1942!" I had just read of the battle, and was thrilled to learn that this righteous man had traversed the Kokoda Trail in all its misery. So when you say "Buna/Gona, I know one who was there. Yeah, Eichelberger was given an extravagant ultimatum, but the General he replaced had repeatedly pleaded for the same supplies that Eichelberger received! I look forward to further conversations, grateful that there things are remembered in such detail & with such passion. Thanks you again.

You two are popular because you humanize the history. Add to that the gravitas Cmd. Toti brings to the discussion and deep history dives that don't go into boredom with counting shells and aircraft. My father as at pearl and fought in the pacific until 1945, so I have delved into the war in the Pacific fairly deeply but I learn with every broadcast. I was an infantry officer - keep it up gents. Hedy Lamar didn't invent frequency hopping, she patented spread spectrum which we use in WiFi. I was on the WiFi design team in NL as an engineer (DMTS) with Bell labs In WW2 most of these technologies were too advanced for the components available at the time. She had no effect on the war - The fellow that made the first WiFi IC's was my boss, Dr. Bruce Tuck of Lucent Technologies. Cheers -

A) Both are just genuinely likeable outgoing folks who engage very effectively in this somewhat informal spoken format...in a way that some deservedly eminent historians simply don't (some people just write a lot better than they speak, shrug). That goes a long way. B) Seth: by his long extensive background in oral history, has known so many veterans and gotten the first-hand perspective. Of course "hearing old WW2 war stories" is hardly unique - although sadly becoming increasingly rare....but I think few have made it a major part of their life's work, and has heard SO many different veterans as Seth has. C) Bill: you bring something pretty unusual to the table. The experience of a long successful career as a seagoing naval officer, combined with a deep interest and knowledge of naval history. It might surprise some viewers to read that this is probably less common among US naval officers than one might think. But most importantly, and probably rarer still, the ability to articulate a compelling integration of the two. The "Submarine 101" episode is a prominent example.

Capt Toti and Seth, your channel is outstanding because you two and your guests don't do just an overview or Hollywood BS stories of what actually happen in a WWII story and claim, "This is the TRUE story"...yeah right. Anyway, yall dig into the whole story...the leadership, the location(s), and the battle. This is the way it needs to be done. For the most part, I'm a Navy guy who served on the USS MIDWAY 73 - 75, USNR and ETS 1979 of duty. Keep on doing what you all are doing! Thank You both!

Gentlemen, you have produced an excellent podcast about warfare in the Pacific Theater of Operations that is invaluable at this specific time in our history because of the fact that you enlighten people about what REALL went on during WW II. This is no longer properly taught by any of the school systems in the country because they deem it irrelevant in today's world and they want to tone down the successes of the United States in general and in the military in particular. They are trying to rewrite history, and it's up to fine gentlemen like yourselves keep the flame of the truth alive, no matter whether it is positive or negative. You do what my mother used to call "slicing the pie right", where you address the negative aspects as well as the positive ones. If KZbin had Emmy's you gentlemen would deserve one. Just keep what you are doing Seth and Bill, it is benefiting everyone. Carry on !

Have bought and read all of your book recommendations. All have been excellent. At this time, I am waste deep in the Big Muddy, I.e. J. Parshall’s “Shattered Sword”. What a great book. I am just 96 pages in and I have learned so much that has never been included in any WWII (Pacific) book. Again, what a great history in a broad sense as well as the particular. Please keep up with the book references. Last, I am a great fan of your videos.

I’ve been consuming the entire channel’s content over the last month. I’d say it’s especially because this material was never taught to any serious degree in my schooling that I’m so fascinated by it. Can’t help but imagine myself in the boots of the men described in some of the diciest war stories you guys have shared

Thank you gentlemen. Bill, you hit the nail on the head. So frustrated over the years to see 'documentaries'' where the producers put 'what ever' ahead of the truth. There is no excuses other than lazy indifference and blatant manipulation for their own ends. I fear the 'Hollywood' people think the public are dumb and won't know the difference. The reason I gave up on the History channel years back. Thank the stars people as yourselves and your guest work to let the truth be know. old saying in history, how do you know where you are if you don't know how you got there. Found Submarine Force Museum channel a few days ago. Excellent back up to what you are doing. please, please keep up the podcast. Your work is much appreciated.

one day growing up as an early teen I found a set of wooden shaft golf clubs in storage. I asked my dad about them and he told me of his time on the sub Blueback. As a junior officer he remembered how admi Lockwood would always meet the sub on the dock on return from patrol. Upon return from a successful patrol the wardroom was invited to a round of golf with him and Dad was able to play in a round with him. Dad said it was a way for Uncle Charlie to get know his people. Rank was dropped and conversation was friendly and interesting. Dad had a high regard for the man in much the same way as your description on your show. Thank you for doing such an informative show. look forward to watching it every week.

Your presentations are consistently valuable. Looked up Ralph Christie and the torpedo scandal, he must have been extremely political to have gotten away with what he did. It is hard to believe testing wasnt immediate and thorough. It is far too easy for things like this to happen. Thank you for the overviews you offer. Not just how but why

There was something going on in BuOrd during the early part of the war and it wasn't confined to the torpedo scandal. Elmer Keith wrote about his less than salutary experiences as a small arms inspector at the Ogden Arsenal. It was like an institutional bias against those who were considered outsiders--one carried to the point of actively pushing back against efforts to improve the material meant for the war effort. It was more important to preserve their bureaucratic empire within BuOrd than to do the job they were meant to do.

I have become a dedicated and loyal fan! I have thoroughly enjoyed and still love Drachinifel! I will always watch his work. I’m subscribed to and love the work of The Operations Room/The Intel Report, Montemayor, and many others. Operations room and Montemayor have the best graphical presentations. Drach has a strong grasp of facts, and excellent research. I really enjoy Hypohysterical History as well. This Australian historian follows the same format and depth as you two. I love Unauthorized Pac and HH, for your in-depth, long-form discussions with lots of context and personal history stories. Would love to see you partner up if/when you return to the subject of New Guinea, Bougainville, or other campaigns where Australia/Kiwis and America cooperated. Know it is hard to cooperate with the other side of the world, like Drach in UK, and Dave in Australia, but it adds a lot to your shows! Congrats in 2M views and Season 3 Gentlemen!

Interesting insights as usual. Regarding MacArthur, he did START to listen to people under him. However, look at the operation after Salamaua and Lae at Finschhafen and Sattelberg on the Huon Peninsula: he surrounded himself with scared rabbits who would not dare change anything he put in place and it almost caused a very big disaster that he would have to work OT to spin. The Australians pulled it out and made him look good again. It was a very close run thing.
