Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series covering the Pacific War week by week continues. After the Japanese Evacuation of Guadalcanal and their disastrous defeat at the Bismarck Sea, the Allies and the Japanese Empire discussed what their plans would be. Today, that calmness will finally be broken as Admiral Halsey and General MacArthur set out to carry out three naval landings at the same time: Nassau Bay; the Kiriwina and Woodlark Islands; and New Georgia, the bulwark of the Central Solomons. Thus, join us as we delve into the start of these important offensives, in another exciting episode of the Pacific War.

[@scottschreffler8798]

You said existing series would not become member exclusive.

[@KingsandGenerals]

@@scottschreffler8798 we had to either cancel the series or release the standalones for the members and the long episodes for everyone.

[@Ccdddttt]

Can’t believe we’re approaching 100 episodes, epic series!

[@jlvfr]

And it's still 1943!

[@JC-mx9su]

I always wait some more episodes to learn about ww2 in the Pacific Theater.

[@redschadow4887]

It's probably going to take at least 300 Episodes to cover the entire war in the pacific theater

[@cmachinist]

And 84 is actually an undercount. We're really on episode 91 due to prelude episodes 0.1 - 0.7

[@chrismartindale7840]

It was not a short war. We are going to get a lot more episodes. Don't forget, events are happening as they did in real time for people 80 years ago.

[@Therabidrabbit89]

Aussies and Yanks, Brothers in arms, we wouldn't have been able to fend them off back then without you guys, My Great Grandfather fought in WW2 and he always praised the Americans. Thank you

[@paulceglinski7172]

Without the Aussie Allies that whole mess would have been three times difficult. Only the Diggers could've held Port Moresby in that jungley mountainous place. Much respect for those guys. Cheers from a Tennessee Infantryman.

[@ToddAdams1234]

@@paulceglinski7172AND like @dingonutz88 emphasized, the A&A team (Aussies and Americans) did fantastic jobs ind the Pacific theater and my grandfather was spending his time in the European theater. Only 2 things I know about my GF in war was that he met Eisenhower and survived the battle of the Bulge and got a medal from some action. I don’t know what action it was because he passed when I was 7 and my Dad nor anyone else ever mentioned anything about the medal OR anything else. Oh the stories that he could tell me now that I’m old enough to listen and remember.

[@paulceglinski7172]

@@ToddAdams1234 I had an Uncle that served in the Solomans somewhere down there. He was 20-21 in 1943. He died young in a car wreck in 1983. He was my age now 62-3. I was 22, 2 months shy of 23. The stories he told me when I was 10 to the to the I joined the Army in 1978. It started as light campy army stuff, but by the time I enlisted the stories were very graphic with the wounds scars to prove his point. Uncle Jr. wasn't one to pull a punch. He always spoke highly of the Australians and wouldn't tolerate anyone that didn't. And he could prove it with some award he had from the Australian Command or some such. As I got older I started trying to find out what he was doing. Led me to deeply respect the Australian war effort. Cheers from Tennessee

[@Therabidrabbit89]

Good on ya lads, much respect 🇦🇺🇺🇸🤜🤛

[@paulceglinski7172]

@@Therabidrabbit89 LOL!!! No worries then, as they say. I'm quite serious that I would like K&G to make a long vid of the Australian effort in New Guinea. If I was a Patreon I'd ask for something on the Coastwatchers too. There's some down under guts! Behind Japanese lines. Imagine what they would do if they caught you? Chilling. Makes me think they had guts and brains in equal measure and a dash of crazy. LoL. My kind of people! LOL! Cheers

[@dearsirormadam20]

The fact that we get free videos on KZbin by Kings & Generals is truly a gift. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@billslocum9819]

Such great writing in this series, even the word balloons are gold. From 10:45 "For two hours the men waded and staggered through the swamp, laboriously dragging out their feet, sinking now ankle deep, now up to their loins in the foul slime; dragging out their hindquarters by slapping weapons crosswise on the reeds and getting a purchase on them." I feel like a kid again with this series, reading a Bantam War Book at 2AM on a school night, unable to sleep.

[@feemster8861]

Great books. I still have some of those.

[@drakependraig7083]

Well I just learned of books I had never seen before. Thank you!

[@Bob-tn5xn]

My grand father was with the 4th marine P co. Raiders and I'm delighted that you knew about the bio -luminescent algae ! They had secured native guides to navigate that area only to find out that the swamps were so horrific that the natives didn't even go there ! Being behind schedule they had to push all night and the native guides draped the glowing algae on their packs of the raiders so they could stay in line and not lose anyone ! My grandfather also carried a boys antitank gun which upon exit from new Georgia he threw into the ocean and claimed it was lost by "accident" the NRA american rifleman magazine did a story on the boys gun years ago and the centerfold photo is a picture of raiders and the one in the back of the line with the boys rifle over his shoulder is my grandfather alongwith popalka , sudro, mc ginty and Ross ! Ross was wounded early on in a rearguard action ! Thanks for the details it helps piece together alot of un awnsered questions that we can't ask anymore since they have all passed away !

[@Khookies-lp2lu]

Must be interesting to see stories you only ever hear bits and pieces of strung together and animated like this.

[@Bob-tn5xn]

@@Khookies-lp2lu actually I have a unpublished manuscript written by a C/P member before he died highlighting the new Georgia campaign ! My grandfather started telling me about the Raiders in 1973 and he lived till 2007 so I heard many a story , it's just nice to see others highlight their existance

[@simonbishop4160]

It’s a great resource. The lesser known battles in the Pacific are fascinating and shows the complexity & hard work involved in logistics needed

[@jonbaxter2254]

Every time you zoom in on these islands, they become so much more rugged and confusing in geography. It was awonder anything got done in the days before scanners, GPS and internet.

[@robbabcock_]

Thanks for another great installment! 🇺🇸⚔🇯🇵

[@patrickblanchette4337]

What a blessed day for me! I got to go onto the USS Bowfin, Missouri, & USS Arizona Memorial with my family & then come home to watch this informative & interesting video!

[@jaythompson5102]

Very interesting episodes you can see the Americans getting better and better at amphibious landings through the war. They became effectively masters of it by the end.

[@joeywheelerii9136]

Crazy to think how many would be done. The Army did dozens of em in the Phillipines campaign of 44-45

[@THEDAVILAK1]

This is pretty much all a person will ever need to know about the Pacific War. I can already see me coming back in a decade or two from now and watch this again. KaG you people are VERY appreciated

[@Maverick0451]

Brilliant!! I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand times, this series is outstanding. It always brightens my day to know that I have a new episode of the Pacific War to enjoy at the end of the day!! Thank you as always for your brilliant content!!!

[@guyprovencal1742]

@Kings and generals, y’all have outdone yourselves once again. I eagerness anticipate each new installment. This is probably the most comprehensive and complete history of the Pacific Campaigns that I have ever seen. Phenomenal job!!!

[@WilmerCook]

As and old history buff you channel makes my day! You guys do a VERY GOOD JOB~~~THANKS!!!

[@tomriley5790]

My Grandad (who landed on Sicily and in Normandy) said he thought the Navy put the worst seamen in landing craft - "afterall their job was to run their ship aground :-)!"

[@LiquidfirePUA]

😂

[@hugod2000]

This is a brilliant series. I love the detail. Thank you so much for making it.

[@paulceglinski7172]

This series has been fantastic! Well done K&G. I can't wait to see how the channel puts a long vid on this campaign like the Guadalcanal long video. I hope the Australians get first place in such a vid. Keep 'em flying K&G. Been subbed for 2 years now and this series has been outstanding. Cheers from Tennessee

[@KingsandGenerals]

Thanks for watching!

[@savagewombat6949]

This is such a great series - Thank you for sharing it!

[@vuhaitran4429]

Amphibious operation at night! The Allies sure had gone a long way.

[@rodmarker2071]

Amazing series !!!!! so well researched and produced .... 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@williamromine5715]

It amazes me how difficult it must have been for the navigators to find their landing areas in the dark with all the small islands and inlets. They had none of the modern equipment of today. They are unsung heros of those operations. I don't see how they did it.

[@Anvilarm07]

So much I did not know about these campaigns. Thank you.

[@jeffmcdonald4225]

Thank you for this series, and to our Australian brothers and sisters, we're sorry for inflicting MacArthur upon you!

What an amazing series! Keep it up!

[@BlueyChandler]

Great detail and coverage of the battle of the Pacific.

[@somewhere6]

In retrospect, the grinding campaign through the Solomons and eastern New Guinea seems very slow and costly compared to the island hopping that came later. (mind you, even then, an operation like Peleliu was wasteful).

[@ronjohnson6916]

Great job on some stuff that normally gets a paragraph at most.

[@28282222]

One occasionally hears the faulty claim of the importance of China in tying down Japanese infantry units to the Pacific fighting. This video perfectly highlights the fact such infantry would be (nearly) useless without airbases to project power, naval units to move them around and supply them. If China did collapse and Japan somehow magically moved anothe 1/4 million troops to the SW Pacific they would have been impossible to supply or keep from being by passed and isolated.

Join the Navy they said. See the world they said. All they see are black dots in the sky constantly.

[@mouraborisova8558]

I understand much more about the fighting and the Japanese were not as much of a problem as the terrain. When the Japanese could use the terrain it like ge😢a bunch more men. I also have a better appreciation of the Zeebees. Man where those guys tough. Fighting the Japanese and then building landing strips. I guess the only thing that they didn't do was to make coffee.
