To those who say Yamamoto was "murdered" or "assassinated". No, he was a high value enemy combatant traveling in a warplane in a warzone.

[@Nachtsider]

It was a justified killing. That being said, I wonder how he would have continued to strategise the war had Ugaki died that day instead of him.

[@AnthonyJ504]

@@Nachtsider interesting thought but I believe at this point he knew the war was lost. No way he could overcome the industrial and manpower superiority the US had. No matter what strategy he employed. Which is why he was against the war in in the first place.

[@Nachtsider]

@@AnthonyJ504 Absolutely. My main point to ponder is if he would have tried to negotiate peace by 1944.

[@AnthonyJ504]

@@Nachtsider He probably would have wanted too I believe. However The Japanese high command would have likely been against it and continued fighting. I also don't know if the US would have accepted a negotiated peace either. Japan would have likely wanted to keep some of their conquered territories which I don't think the Allies would have accepted. It's definitely thought provoking.

[@bully056]

I honestly think he would have defected in late ‘43, he was an honorable man and I believe that if it meant the survival of his nation he would have done it.

[@malickfan7461]

To be fair, Yamamoto was opposed to going to war with the US. He spent a lot of time studying in the states and he knew how great our industrial capacity and will to fight would be. Ultimately though, he was still a loyal admiral to his own country of Japan. He knew the war would happen with or without him and he wanted to try to secure the best possible outcome for his country.

[@jackhewitt600]

After Pearl Harbour he apparently said in his book that they had woken the sleeping dragon. Implying that he didnt believe Japan could win a war drawn out against the USA.

[@theotherohlourdespadua1131]

Can you verify where you got that? From what I gather, the US has a hand in making Yamamoto a sort of "clean patriot" that "knows" fighting the US was a mistake. It was done under the auspice of Chester Nimitz to create "heroes" the Japanese can at least look up to as to not sulk in their own defeat, same as to why Rommel was elevated by the British for the same reason. Him saying the attack awaken a sleeping giant was nothing more than a fabrication from the movie it came from. There was no first-hand account he said that, nor he felt sorry he attacked the US at Pearl Harbor. He was adamant that it was the right thing to do at the time...

[@jackhewitt600]

Ive read it in articles and from history channels. Maybe it was exagerated or taken out of context to make it seem more exciting. I just thought it was a interesting quote.

@@jackhewitt600 He didn't need to imply that. He said it repeatedly for years. His position on that was never ambiguous.

[@FormulaFox]

Couple interesting details that are often overlooked about this operation, and how even US leadership viewed Yamamoto: 1) The attack took place one year TO THE DAY after the Doolittle Raid. 2) General Douglas MacArthur, early on in the occupation of Japan, requested of Emperor Hirohito that he be allowed to visit Yamamto's burial site - the one at his family's ancestral burial ground, not the public one(which MacArthur DID visit and treated with the utmost respect). It is not known if this request was granted, or if eh found time to do it if it was, but this request, made with the utmost respect to the Emperor and Yamamoto(and despite the fact that as administrator of the occupation he could have just gone there if he chose), is believed to be a major catalyst in why MacArthur and Hirohito became very good friends - a fact often lost to history.

Looking into this , the distance from the airbase in Guadalcanal to Bougainville Island was a 1,000 miles and the P-38's had to fly near sea level to avoid being detected by Japanese radar . Yamamoto 's betty bomber was scheduled to fly from Rabaul to Ballale , and a squadron of P-38's just happened to show up right at the exact time and exact location where the Admiral's flight was . How is it that the Japanese didn't realize their radio transmissions were being deciphered ? .

[@Nachtsider]

Kenji Yanagiya, the eventual sole survivor of the Zero escorts, voiced his concerns that the interception had all the hallmarks of a deliberate surgical strike. These were taken seriously enough that the Japanese subsequently sent false coded messages saying that Admiral Kusaka was going to be touring the front, but the Americans did not fall for it and the Japanese therefore concluded that whatever leak on Yamamoto's itinerary did not originate from codebreaking.

[@SEAetos]

Also US continued to send "patrols" on the same flight path for the next few following days to make it look like it could have been a chance encounter.

A great peace. Although it leaves off a few details about Ugaki right at the end. When the Emperor ordered the surrender Ugaki, who as the father of the Kamikaze was unquestionably going to be hung as a war criminal, got piss drunk. Put on his best uniform, picked up his sword. Climbed into a plane with 2-3 other junior pilots stuffed in alongside him (thing clown car in a Japanese Zero) and took off to kamikaze an American ship. He apparently missed the ship he was aiming for by such a wide margin that the ship never noticed him. He just flew straight into the ocean. His plane was found in shallow water some days later. His final action summing up much of the Japanese commanders actions during WW2. Pointless, Stupid, Unproductive, and Fatal to only his own men.

[@Nachtsider]

It would have been really interesting if Ugaki had died during Operation Vengeance and Yamamoto survived. Without Ugaki there would be no kamikaze attacks; I do not see Yamamoto approving of such a tactic, much less originating it. Also, with Yamamoto still in command, I wager he might try to find a way to end the war before 1945, perhaps as early as 1944.

[@andrewtaylor940]

@@Nachtsider Yamamoto’s skill as a master strategist often gets overblown. Yes, he did engineer all of the IJN’s early war plans and execute them flawlessly. But they had years to plan and test and practice and refine. As soon as those prewar plans ran out, he completely went to shit. Operation MI is the textbook example for poor military planning. Where the entirety of your planning required that your enemy have no agency or freedom of action. He would start where and when you said and arrive on a strict pre-determined schedule. He was a much better strategist of internal Japanese Military politics. The best that could be said is he was one of the few Japanese Admirals willing and able to think outside the box and deviate from doctrine on occasion.

[@Nachtsider]

@@andrewtaylor940 Oh absolutely. He was no Manstein. I would give more credit to Jisaburo Ozawa as a lateral thinker, even. Not recognising Guadalcanal as THE decisive battle and going all out to win it was one of his biggest blunders. But I feel that with him still in command, his nation stood a better chance of avoiding the utter ruin it underwent in 1945. I can see him trying to negotiate for peace as early as 1944.

[@goldenreaperjtx]

It was built in the thousands, yet today under a dozen survive. I'm guessing that it wasn't considered as desirable by civilian pilots as wartime surplus as the Mustangs and Thunderbolts for use as a sport or racing plane due to the higher fuel consumption and more expensive maintenance. They became so rare that one was salvaged from under hundreds of feet of glacial ice and rebuilt at the cost of millions. It was a plane being ferried to Europe by way of Greenland. Today, she's named "Glacier Girl."

I first read about this mission in 1972 and thought awarding the Navy Cross to Army pilots was a mistake the author made--Army personnel didn't get Navy medals! At the time I wasn't familiar with the concept of OPCON (Operational Control). This mission was carried out by Army pilots under Navy control. Navy codebreakers located the target in time to set up an intercept, but the Navy was short of aircraft carriers, had none in position, and had no aircraft capable of carrying out the mission in April 1943. The Army did--and a squadron of P-38s were beefed up with extra planes and pilots, the Navy installed Navy navigational gear and trained the Army pilots in over-water dead reckoning using Navy gear, and the rest is history.

Committing suicide was just about the only honourable thing Ugaki did, considering how he sent so many of his men to their deaths in kamikaze attacks. He should have died instead of Yamamoto.

[@stunick1573]

Suicide is not Honorable! You can thank the Japanese for that false lie. Dying in combat is way more honorable, dying at your own hand because you failed, how is that an Honor? Suicide is a Cowards way out and a Cowards way to die. Just follow the Japanese leadership in Battle for plenty of examples. Lose a fight, suicide by drowning on my ship. Lose my Island fortress suicide. Did Hirohito commit Suicide for getting his country into war and getting H-Bombed?

Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass" of the family Poaceae. This family is also called Gramineae. The family also include some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).

My grandma’s brother was shot down and KIA near bouganville in February of 1943. His name was Lt Raymond Morrissey and he earned a silver star that day. It would be my dream for this channel to tell his story.

This channel has so many good videos keep up the good work and keep doing a good job hope you have a good day!

I thought it was really funny when the pilot just said subscribe and gave a cheeky grin before flying off.

Please do a video about Greece during ww2 Because stories of bravery from Greece are not told

[@brokenbridge6316]

This should be a movie. Because this was a highly dramatic event.

[@juststuff9587]

defiantly worth the two week wait

[@adamdelarozza1985]

The Best re-telling & Animation depiction, for this true Historical event. Great Job!

[@troyfoster6004]

I appreciate the fact that this animation clearly tells the factual version of this story and doesn't dive into the controversy of Thomas Lanphier claiming sole credit for shooting down Yamamoto's bomber. That controversy put a stain on this story that lasted almost 60 years before it was cleared up. I wrote about it for a newspaper years ago and there's even a book about it. Rex Barber shot down the first bomber and finished off the second one, but in the immediate years afterward there was another yarn being spun Lanphier. Regardless, these men were all heroes and they were all brave in doing their part for their country.

[@Nachtsider]

The ironic bit is that Lanphier didn't even need to lie. He already played a vital role by distracting the escorts so Barber could shoot down Yamamoto's plane. But it was unfortunately in the man's nature to hog the glory as shown in his actions before and after the mission.

The animation quailty is the best yet! Totally worth the longer production time.

[@AmanSingh-nw7lw]

yo, your videos in 4k are something else entirely

[@glitchy_weasel]

What a superb episode - the writing is very good, I like how you emphasize important people on both sides of the conflict. And the animations is once again getting better and better with each video!

[@vielplaysdagames2298]

Absolutely fantastic video you never let me down

[@jadpho1380]

I love how you portray both sides. Animation and storytelling is top notch. Keep going! 🎉

[@DarkMatterX1]

100% your best yet. I have no idea how anyone could watch even one of these absolute masterpieces and not subscribe.

[@Soviet_UnionBais]

I love your content… Even if I lose or people hate me

[@psychobeam99]

Bruh. I just watched like 3 animated videos of this yesterday and you drop another one. Hell yeah.

[@overlordmgcover2262]

As you guys are mutating into the next Simple History channel this probably doesn't bother you but I say it anyway. I know you guys need cash from placements. But were you set them in this episode is a mood killer.

[@Nachtsider]

I think the way they place their ads is much better than how others do it.

[@reyanshiscool833]

I just love how the quality of your videos keeps improving. This channel has evolved so much!

[@KapitanYenilmez]

Please Pearl Harbol attack animaiton

[@LancelotChan]

Never know it was so exciting a fight back then when I flew this mission in "The aces of the pacific". Man, you made this super hollywood-class action movie.

[@bird1233]

anyone got the music at 1:31? I'd like to know it's name

[@petebjerkelund5088]

Yarnhub's animation and production just keeps getting better. Good story telling, keep it up! All the best.

[@obiwanfisher537]

The music is shit in this episode though. Please never again.

[@Kxre_]

Great coverage, editing, animations and details as usual, and that smooth transition into the ad as well? That's our Yarnhub baby!
