Wait for Me. World of Warships Short Film

Historical ships in the game World of Warships 👉 wo.ws/3MrVWY7
War is a tragedy experienced by humanity on some level every day. With respect to all who have fallen and those who survived, regardless of conflict or side they stood on, Wargaming presents the short film “Wait for Me." This project is intended to capture the humanity and emotion of war and to express gratitude to those individuals who sacrifice for their countries.
"Wait for Me” is based on the poem of the same name by Konstantin Simonov, which was inspired by the poet’s own experience of leaving his loved ones behind to serve on the front lines.
The release of "Wait for Me" coincides with the International Day of Peace, which is celebrated globally each September 21.

Didn't expect the Japanese bomber captain to make it back, but he didn't take an explosive shell to the face like his unfortunate bombardier, and he would have had an oxygen mask within reach for that first breath. If you argue about crash survivability, you're just one of the "ones that couldn't wait" Unlike the Sailor, who joyously returns bedecked with a Purple Heart, the pilot returns somberly in defeat, bearing the dishonor of having survived a lost war, he has lost face both literally and figuratively. Contemplating Seppuku, he embraces his wife for one last time. It is only when the wife returns the hug, letting him know that she still loves and accepts him, that he truly makes it home alive. The cultural differences, and the contrasting portrayal of both victory and defeat, are as profound as the parallels, make this a true Masterpiece.

[@TheRayArk]

No Seppuku. He followed the Tao like a real samurai. And if he survived, then this is his Tao

[@soksdoerng174]

I doubt Seppuku, that's only when a Samurai that's been defeated. He was doing a Kamikaze but survived.

[@WeltSchmerz1349]

@@soksdoerng174 I doubt Seppuku too. I think Japanese pilot succeeded to escape the bomber cockpit and swim up, then he was rescued from the water by one of U.S. ships, so he became a prisoner of war. And he consequently returned back to Japan only when war is over. So he hadn't to commit Seppuku (otherwise it would be a massive suicide of national scale, imagine ALL the survivors slitting their guts...)

[@bcajma12]

Andrew Singleton All must be held accountable for their actions. Even if the actions themselves were carried out with non-malicious intent. "I was just following orders" or "they forced me to" are not not grounds to wholly absolve someone of responsibility/consequence. The consequences of being a kamikaze pilot was at the very least either a fiery death or a pointless one. Speculation after the fact does not change this reality. Nazi Germany (Hitler, his Inner Circle, and their fanatical followers) did many horrible things. At the very least starting the _Second WW_ is the consequence of their actions. Yet what about the regular German soldier? Not the SS, not those fanatically loyal to Hitler or his Inner Circle, just regular Germans through and through. What if it was just a regular man who gunned down crowds of non-combatants, stepped on the necks of French Resistance fighters fighting for their homes, and watched as his entire country was later raped, pillaged, and burned in a bout of mindless retaliation? Well, the combined actions of himself and also hundreds of millions led to the single greatest loss of life from war in human history. Point is, there are always consequences regardless of the person(s), circumstance, or any other factors. "Boots on the ground" might not have the blame solely rest on them depending on the action, but this again does not absolve them of responsibility.

Wargaming. This is very well done. Not only scenematic. But storywise too. Sometimes people forget even the enemy in a war. No matter what conflict. have family waiting at home. hoping to come back.

[@ToXiCEngel77]

I agree WG did a great job capturing the emotions felt by military families during war. Cinematically, only minor costume/uniform imperfections were apparent on close inspection (Chaplain's captain bars placed parallel to the shoulder instead of adjacent). This certainly succeeds at evoking an emotional response...well done WG and thank you.

[@quemapueblos3768]

We are glad that we could bring some attention and respect for the people fight for their countries. Our games tap into the great advances in technology and machines produced by tremendous national efforts to win a war but it's important to remember, notably on the International Day of Peace!, the human side of these events. Thank you for your kind comments

Honestly, I almost skipped this add. But it caught my eye quick. After watching it I looked up the game add. And here I am. I wanted to leave a comment in this that bad. It’s really an amazing short video. I love it because I can feel it deep. Not from experience, but just from having family, and knowing people personally with family who were in combat. It makes me hope future wars could only be fought in video game style. Not to have families go through this pain anymore.

@H.R. Geiger Counter Respectfully you are wrong. For them they are fighting for their families. I am not debating their motives but though the method they are using is extreme it would not be the first time. Tell me now that if the US was facing a superior force and we had no more young men to send into battle would we not fight with our women children and elderly. I do not condone in any way shape of form when people use desperate tactics. But anyone who has been in battle would understand. Do you know of the atrocities committed by the U.S. in other countries. I do. FIGHT TILL THE LAST. Tell me are your children willing to fight to defend their families. At what point do you give up.

[@cooleKinder]

"Wait for me" lyrics by Russian poet Konstantin Simonov. He was take part in WW2 At first, Konstantin Simonov refused to publish this poem, apart from its deeply personal and not intended for the general reader. After only a few close friends were devoted to the poet in his heart a secret. However, they insisted that the poem "Wait for me, and I will come back", which needed because thousands of soldiers became public. It was published in December 1941

My grandfather was wounded in the head, defending Moscow in the autumn of 1941, when he fell completely blind in the battle for Moscow. Grandfather and grandmother were married before the war. Grandfather decided that he would not return to his wife, that she did not need a cripple. She herself was looking for him, he was in the hospital for cripples.
