You said existing series would not become member exclusive.

@@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

[@ToddAdams1234]

@@Hillbilly001AND 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.

Good on ya lads, much respect 🇦🇺🇺🇸🤜🤛

@@Hillbilly001 We still say it don't worry about that mate lol See if you can find a movie called Kokoda, it's about us Aussies in PNG and to be fair our boys wouldn't have managed to do what they did without the help of the locals (Fuzzy Wuzzies) we called em, because of their fuzzy hair, Legends of people the Papuans much love to them as well

There is one thing the CCP does not every want to see because it knows it can’t defeat it. A unified and pissed off United States. The EOJ and Nazi Germany found out the hard way

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@robbabcock_]

Thanks for another great installment! 🇺🇸⚔🇯🇵

[@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

[@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!!!

[@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!!!

1943 tiene eventos y operaciones muy poco conocidos. Felicitaciones el equipo detrás de King and generals

[@Anvilarm07]

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

[@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.

[@eriktronstad8063]

[@vuhaitran4429]

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

[@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).

[@cornishdiaspora918]

Just brilliant, thank you.

So it begins! Let's see how the Allies attack all these little islands.

[@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.

[@jeffagain7516]

Again I hear you mention the Japanese "Disaster of the Bismark Sea". In fairness to Rear-Admiral Kimura Masatomi, I suggest he was used as a scapegoat for this debacle. Considering he was fighting an Aircraft vs Destroyer battle, without air support or heavy anti-aircraft provisions from cruisers or battleships that could have supported him, it's a bloody wonder EVERYTHING didn't get destroyed in his TF !!! Sure, some of his decisions can be questionable in hindsight but at the time, with only the info he had, the true blame obviously falls on his superiors in Rabaul sending him on that run without adequate support or even info on potential enemy countermeasures. Sucks to be the middleman ...damned if ya do, damned if ya don't. Also worth mentioning, is the fact the Japanese didn't think their code system had been broken yet, this late in the War. Really? That in itself is rampant stupidity.

how could the raiders pass over a deep and "impassable swamp" obviously it was passable.

[@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.

[@chrisnizer]

Those divisions of troops in China had to be constantly supplied and supported with vital resources that didn't make it to the troops in the South Pacific Islands. That's why keeping them in the China/Burma theater so strategically important.

[@28282222]

@@chrisnizer not that important. A lot of their food was seized in China or grown in the captured areas. They were not hugely reliant on fuel..some. The South Pacific was a war of machines like high technology aircraft, warships, submarines and the ability to create airbases and infrastructure. If Japan had managed to move 1000s of more troops from China they just would have starved or “withered on the vine” as Japan didn’t have sufficient shipping. Of course some strategic resources went to the troops in China but not that much as they were primarily a WW1 style infantry based army there.

[@chrisnizer]

@@28282222 VERY important: food, weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, transportation, EVERYTHING needed to keep those troops in fighting form. I spent a year in the Pacific my friend, 365 consecutive days, a bit more than just a few youtube videos. So whoever told you keeping those troops in China wasn't important was either lying to you or didn't know their own arse from a hole in the ground.
