Very different than the war in Europe - the Japanese didn’t surrender; battles were on islands - so no place to go! You either win or die. Also, the series Band of Brothers is based off one book, so you can really get to know all the characters. The Pacific is based off 3 books, so you get a little less connection with as many people

The battle scene in this episode is the Battle of the Tenaru and it was absolutely a massacre. The Japanese attacked the Marines with a detachment of 900 men and the Marines killed 750 of them and captured 15 more while only suffering 41 killed. Oddly, the maps the Marine Corps had were mislabled and the Tenaru River was actually the Ilu River

My only issue with Chesty Puller is is slandering of the Army Soldiers who served in Korea during the Chosen Reservoir. He lied about what had happened and insisted they were cowards he dropped their weapons and ran away at the first signs of trouble. This story carried on for many years until it was uncovered that the Army units actually were a vital part in saving the 1st Marine Division from being completely surrounded and desperate being outnumbered, under equipped, under manned, and surrounded managed to hold off multiple Chinese divisions on the Marine Corps flank before finally be overran.

There were very few Japanese on Guadalcanal when the Marines landed, and nearly all of them were construction personnel - not combat soldiers. They mostly fled into the jungle. They were later reinforced by thousands of combat soldiers. Do realize the Japanese high command grossly underestimated the strength of the Marine force on the island and thought it was a regiment or less when reality was there was almost a division of Marines. You are correct about suicide and the Japanese were honor-bound to not be captured.

You may be interested in watching 'Flags of our fathers' and 'Letters from Iwo Jima'. They are companion films (same story from opposing sides) directed by Clint Eastwood about the battle for the Japanese island of Imo Jima during WW2 in the Pacific

[@hellowhat890]

That scene where they wake up stranded on the island with no navy to get them out actually is quite terrifying. The U.S. at this point had lost 21 ships at Pearl Harbor. Many would not be salvaged or returned to service until one or two years later. So the unfortunate reality was, in order to conserve what ships they had, since the Japanese had the advantage in numbers, the U.S. would get their ships out of harm's way.

Luckily the Japanese Navy didn't find and sink the supply ships. If they did the Invasion would have crumbled there.

I'm glad I caught this series at the very beginning. It's one of my favorites as it's very different from Band of Brothers. It follows three different people and their story spans over the course of three years rather than one unit across the 18 months of the war. The Pacific grew on me slowly and I think it has it's moments where it surpasses the Band of Brothers. Cheers from Prague.

[@BanditoBurrito]

Hahaha boosegumps, she's cute.

[@dastemplar9681]

At the time, Japan’s military upheld the moral standing where it was the greatest service and greatest honor to die in combat. This led to the Japanese throughout the war using suicidal tactics and refusing to surrender. This would lead to Japanese garrisons that defend the islands to literally be wiped out, for example, the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945 saw to a Japanese garrison of over 21,000, after 1 month and 1 week of brutal relentless fighting, only 216 of the Japanese garrison surrendered, the rest were killed. They also would use defensive tactics that would lead to the Americans using crude and destructive tactics in order to root out any opposition. The European theater may have cost more American servicemen’s lives, but in terms of brutality and horrible fighting conditions, the Pacific theater takes the cake on that one. It was a theater in where mercy rarely existed and the Americans and Japanese fought and clawed at each other savagely. This series will show you a new level of hatred in a combat environment so buckle up. You two are in for one hell of a ride.

[@parkeydavid]

Both Eugene Sledge and Robert Leckie wrote books about their experience in the war. Sledge wrote " With the Old Breed - At Peleliu and Okinawa". Leckie wrote " Helmet for My Pillow".

[@brucechmiel7964]

The surface engagement was called the battle of Savo Island and was a critical defeat for the US Navy. The big explosion the Marines were cheering for was the flag ship's magazine exploding. The Navy completely underestimated the Japanese especially after Midway. They were excellent at night fighters without radar guided cannons. Torpedo hits were scary accurate. By sunrise what was left of the armada withdrew, and the invasion supplies and ammunition are all left at the bottom of the channel. To make it more dire, it was "tradition" the UCMC were given obsolete kit. Water cooled vickers machine guns and bolt action springfield rifles. The fighting was beyond brutal. And it gets worse the closer they get to the mainland. My grandfather was lucky. He was army in the solomons He could see the tracers in the hills above. He would have been a casualty to if he didnt know how to type (28 years old he would've been cannon fodder). Instead he became a company clerk. He and a lot of other guys felt guilty doing their jobs away from the fighting.

[@brettpeacock9116]

The battles on Guadalcanal actually began some 9 months after Pearl Harbour, and went on for several months. The Naval/Carrier Battle of Midway had already been fought and won by the US, but Guadalcanal was the first Land defeat of the War for Japan.

[@void870]

You should definitely check out the book written by Eugene Sledge, “With the Old Breed” The stuff that he talked about in that book is insane, and it really shows how brutal the war really became. The show wasn’t able to show quite all of it, without running the risk of being censored from TV. Eugene originally wrote the manuscript for his family to read and understand what he went through, because it was easier to write it down than really talk about it. Later on, his family convinced him to publish it.

[@ESPER_Power]

The Pacific theater of operations was known as the meat grinder, and you are about to see why they called it that, a warning this was one of the quietest episodes of the series.

[@benschultz1784]

The various sea battles off the coast of Guadalcanal are the reason why the New Georgia Strait is called Iron Bottom Sound. The Japanese and US/Australian fleets had a back-and-forth cycle of control of the seas with the rise and setting of the sun, the Japanese had greater success at nocturnal engagements

[@jameswg13]

The training to deployment was about 5-7 months in this case. However the Japanese had been at war for over 5-6 years at this point so they were fighting a fanatical enemy that was highly experienced and experts at jungle warfare

[@jeffreybaker415]

Well said. Using "Helmet For My Pillow" (Leckie) and "With The Old Breed" (Sledge) it looks to be about 6 1/2 months to a little over 8 months, respectively, from having the initial drill sergeant yell at them to boarding the ship for deployment. Sledge may have had a bit more as a mortar man, or it might have simply been when their particular operations needed people. Six months-plus is a good chunk of training, but they were up against an experienced enemy, from a society that started the military indoctrination well before they entered the military.

[@ShawnTheDriver]

"How fucked are you now, how fucked are you now? How fucked are you now....you're surely fucked now." That part always makes me laugh lmao

[@kennethbedwell5188]

The naval battle you see is the Battle of Iron Bottom Sound. It’s called that because there were so many ships sunk the entire area is one great big ship wreak By this time, The Japanese soldiers were a battle hardened core of veterans. Over 10 years of battle in China had hardened them and taught them all the tricks of the trade. Infiltration, jungle fighting, were all part and parcel of their trade. As for the scene where the Marines are playing with the Japanese soldier, you have to understand, Japan had surprised attacked Pearl Harbor. America was neutral before this. The hatred felt towards the Japanese was palpable because of the over 2900 sailors and Marines that had died in the attack. Even after the war, it took years for the people involved to stop hating each other. The reason why Japan loves America now is because General MacArthur was so compassionate towards the Japanese people in his military governorship. That helped heal the wounds of war.

Sorry I know I am late in commenting on this video. In terms of what you guys were talking about in the last bit the difference between the marines fighting in the Pacific and the paratroopers of the 101st in Band of Brothers in terms of training was thus. Paratroopers were a wholly new concept at the time in terms of combat. The airborne divisions were highly specialized units and what you might consider the precursors to special forces such as Navy Seals. Their training was thus much more extensive and rigorous due to being such a new concept. Regular marines on the other hand did not require the same extensive training and in the wake of the attack against Pearl Harbor the armed forces were willing to take new recruits en-masse seeing as the U.S. military at the time was not very vast. The surge of patriotic fervor and zeal in the wake of the attack also prompted a vast amount of people to enlist, and people lying about their age in order to get into the service was not at all uncommon. Some units had troopers as young as 16 serving. For some they simply managed to bluff their way given their height and appearance, while in other cases it was simply a matter of people willing to look the other way.

[@donlove3741]

Error all infantry (Marine/Army) recieve intensive physical training in Boot /Basic . They are hard ! They're also trained in weapons/tactics. These Marunes in this series were in Guadalcanal. Late 1942. They've been in Australia NZ training before going to Guadalcanal. They were hard and ready and they kicked ass.The US Navy had almost as many deaths as the Marines in the Guadacanal Battle. The Japanese ,as you point out, chose death over surrender. Consequently NO Quarter from either side. The Black Flag ! A vicious, motivated,capable and well trained enemy ! Oceans of blood .

[@ViPro2023]

The vast majority of Americans do not meet the requirements to serve in the Military. Not that the standards are particularly high, but just because there's so many. Physically and mentally healthy, no serious criminal history, High School diploma or GED, and pass the aptitude test. Many Americans meet most of those requirements, but few meet all of them.

[@karlmoles6530]

Peopel are used to the United States being overpowering but at Guadalcanal, the Japanese were just as powerful if not more so. It was a bloody, grinding struggle that went on for months, on land, on sea and in the air. Two American Admirals died in one naval battle. The Carriers the United States had later in the war just weren't there yet. Guadalcanal was won by Marine and Navy guts and blood

[@ScarriorIII]

Recommend you listen to Dan Carlin's Supernova in the Pacific, he really goes into detail about how terrible the Japanese Empire really was...This series is going to be hard, b/c you're going to find the way the Marines treat the Japanese distasteful, but if you listen to the podcast, you'll understand why. In most cases, the Japanese were worse than the Germans.

My grandpa was on Guadalcanal for most of the fighting as an officer. I think he lost around 50lbs there and he started at 160 lbs

[@magamale2111]

More specifics: they only survived for that long because they figured out how to locates Japanese food supplies. Most of the later fighting was hand to hand because both sides ran out of ammo

Remember, the Marines in the Pacific fought for far longer than Easy Company and the European Theater of War. The events in Band of Brothers wasn't until 1944 and they saw the end of the war in 1945. The Marines in the Pacific fought since 1942 so in their mindset, it felt like the war was double the time.

[@gryphon9507]

It was very hard to take prisoners in the Pacific. Japanese soldiers were told that if they were captured the Americans would do all the horrible things they did to prisoners. So it was better to just die for the Emperor, and if you didn't or couldn't it was a great dishonor. The soldier in the river was crying because he had not died with his fellow soldiers was yelling at the Marines to shoot him. Because if these kind of suicide attacks, their was almost no instants in which prisoners were taken alive, and medics were instructed for the most part not to help their wounded. In most of the pictures of the time of actual Japanese prisoners they are often walking around in nothing but their loincloths, to make sure they didn't have a hidden weapon.
