This channel reminds me of how the history channel use to be before it became all reality tv
-
It's incredible how the British did not react after seeing two subs enter the harbor. Then did not warn other bases after the attack.
-
Greetings from Japan. Type A (ko) midget subs got unstable and unbalanced once a big torpedo was fired according to ja.wikipedia. Presumably that is the reason why a 2nd torpedo was not fired soon after hitting the battle ship.
-
Best part about your channel is that you cover events that nobody has ever heard of.
-
Crew on the British Loyalty and HMS Ramillies report seeing two submarines entering the harbour, no action taken. Two ships torpedoed,and no warning issued to other naval bases to be on alert. Seventeen hours later same thing happens in Sydney. Sadly there seems to be a never ending catalogue of shameful blunders.

The world: Our submarines launch torpedos. Japan: Our submarines launch submarines!
-
Here we go again putting the history and military channel out of business. This some of the best history off ww2 I love I watch all these videos.
-
4:30 just so nobody is under any illusion, the Bushido was employed as a psychological tool but nearly all soldier and officer swords were not real samurai katana, they were manufactured on mass using a completely different method. Most heirloom swords stayed at home with the family / wife. Samurai and their swords were outlawed more than 50 years earlier (after the Meiji restoration).
-
Speaking of raids, would be awesome to see the story of the failed landing at Tobruk in 1942 (Operation Daffodil). British troops at the early stage were disguised as german soldiers, and killed with no mercy during the infiltration phase (including the patients of a military hospital). In the end the attack failed for the unexpected reaction from italian non-combatant troops (cooks, transmission, mechanics etc), who delayed british marines long enough.

WTF, I never heard of the Japanese fighting on African soil.
-
Can you talk about the Italian Savoia charge that was performed in Russia :)
-
This is great stuff! Thank you for shining some light on this overlooked part of war history!
-
3:26 the Battleship HMS Ramillies was actually armed with 8 15" main guns mounted in 4 twin turrets.
-
Fascinating. I knew nothing about the Madagascar conflict until now...you're a wealth of info.
-
just when I think I have learned everything about WW2 you post another video!
-
One does wonder at the stupidity of not informing, secretly, all Commonwealth forces about the likelihood of such attacks. Obviously, Sydney paid the price.
-
I love the new RC submarines! It gives the video a new soul wich makes the video a mot more entertaining to watch!
-
LOVING how you have recently switched to the Pacific theater. Love your European theater videos too, but it is wonderful to get such in depth looks in to the oft neglected Pacific theater.
-
You are the master of illuminating historical obscurity!
-
I had never heard of this attack.
