The Complete Story Of WW2 In 5 Hours

The Second World War was a total war in which massive armies advanced, confronting whole populations with impossible choices. The manufacture of weapons transformed industry and the workforce; area bombing campaigns reduced cities to rubble; sieges doomed populations to starvation; racial policies sponsored campaigns of genocide. Told through incredible archive footage & expert interviews, this is the ultimate guide to WW2 as it happened.

[@alexeichoquet7822]

In regard to the Rape of Nanking, the assertion that "the brutality of war breeds more brutality" does not explain the barbarity of the Japanese, After all, the British, French and American soldiers who advanced into Germany in 1945 did not display any such savagry towards the German population even equal to what the nazis had done, let alone in excess of what they had done.Nor did they approach the levels of brutality that the Japanese did in the Pacific war.

I love how these historians claim that the bombs weren't necessary although I bet if it was one of them assigned to land on the beaches of Japan and fight another year or two to defeat the Japanese and no telling how many more civilians would've been killed. The Japanese started that war by bombing us it was only right that we ended it with a bigger bomb.

[@Thatguyrocky]

So, Japan actually tested out biological/chemical weapons on China. They sent down the bubonic plague via bombs, and a few other really bad and deadly diseases as a test. Japan actually had planned on dropping those types of biological/chemical weapons on/in the United States on/around the first week in September. So by the USA dropping the two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it actually caused Japan to surrender (obviously), but it prevented an attack which could very well have turned the tide of the war in the pacific. The European campaign was already finished back in May 1945, and Japan surrendered at sometime in August 1945.

[@bouncyblight2001]

Island hopping was bad enough as it is. Just imagine storming the heart of the army responsible for it. The Japanese were so extreme in WW2 we would’ve basically experienced the Vietnam war in 1945 rather than the mid 70’s. Having to fight civilians and venture through jungles laced with traps and ambush tunnels. That already happened in the islands but it would’ve been way worse in their homeland I bet

[@JasonGarber-n9y]

Well said my friend, well said .....

[@user-ix6ml3ol3u]

I hard disagree. Collective punishment is immoral. Also the will of the Japanese forces are highly overstated. They were already crushed and forced onto the main islands. They had almost no raw materials or food stocks coming in, and their military was extremely weakened. While there are stories of Japanese soldiers fighting for DECADES onwards, there’s no real reason to believe that they would continue the fight if the Americans had been able (and we definitely were going to eventually) to capture the emperor and force capitulation that way. In reality Truman wanted to put the Soviets and the rest of the world on notice of the atom bombs. ALSO it’s a soldier and sailors job to fight and if necessary die for their nation, but that isn’t the job of civilians. The bloodthirsty nature of that perspective is what leads to the justification of war crimes and genocides.

i mean, with total war, everyone is kinda involved with the fighting....just a different fight, in todays age, there is the battle front, and the home front, without factory workers squeezing out shells, guns, tanks and airplanes, what are you gonna fight the war with? its just a different kind of fight, total war is not fought on the front line but on the factory floor, its a whole lot harder to pump out enough equipment than to tell your soldiers to run that way. You misunderstand the term, total war doesnt mean your gonna fight the war totally, it means you are going to use every recourse, every man woman and child, and the entire economy TOTALLY in the war effort in order to achieve victory. totally everything is going to be put towards the war effort, not just in fighting specifically, but in production, and every other aspect of your entire civilization, if you looked at germany, especially during the great war, literally every aspect of the entire civilization, the entire nation was used towards the war effort, not just factories producing equipment, but even livestock, and grain, every single thing being used for the war, thats what total war means

[@tokaio_xiii]

​@@loremastertimmy4048this is super spot on. I don't think war will ever be fought the same again, in terms of how an entire country would be concentrated on the war efforts with how technology has changed, the need for manpower has definitely differed. I feel like if we do head toward global conflict the most damage will be done from behind screens and computers, and also possibly would see much more open civilian resistance to being an active part of the war effort.

I was in Japan in 1988, I spoke to an old Japanese man he was in his 80s. I asked him about the bombing America, atomic bombs ever dropped. He said it was the best thing that happened to Japan. I asked him why, he said our leaders would have killed us all. All of the Japanese would have fought anyone who invaded their country. They would’ve fought to their death.. He said the bombs killed less people. The leaders would have done the same as Hitler in the bunker, total destruction of the people and the government. Tokyo, would have been a copy of Berlin, And the number of death would have been 1000s times more. It sounds crazy but the bombing did help to change the leadership thinking.

I have a respect for the Vietnam groups. they are fighters. against the Japanese .against the French and Americans.

Why make comparison this way? Human suffering matters far more than cities that can be rebuilt. Germany and England were the two great powers of the war. Australia wasn’t. The focus on the countries was not equal for a good reason. It’s also just not a competition as to who had it worse. Just really thoughtless as a statement. This horrific war saw my grandad traumatised because as a navy gunner her was sunk by the Germans 3 times, twice in one night. It’s a miracle he survived. People from countries with zero connection to Europe except British colonialism were forced or coerced into dying en masse in our country. Don’t minimalise our country’s suffering by making a bizarre false comparison. The way you spoke gave the impression that Melbourne got off easy and doing that is totally ignoring the Melbourne men who died, were maimed, and crippled to PSTD, which is no mentioned at all.

It was a battle for freedom ,depending on which side you look at it from . Germany was basically the USA of Europe at the time , actually slightly more advanced . Germany was asking for their own sovereignty.However they got bullied into a regional war and became the bully .It is what it is .

You can’t just say it’s inaccurate without saying why.

If this guy says TOTAL WAR one more damn time.

[@michaeldover]

This is not a complete story of WW II. It's not even chronologically presented. This is more of a propaganda presentation about how the war affected civilians. Even the combat-type footage does not match the narration. For example, there is a section about the Battle of Britain with much footage showing US 8th Army Air Force bombers and fighters. I could only make it through half of this before I went elsewhere.
