Thank you for another fine episode. Five minutes into the video and I learned about the submarine farce. That was tragic to the Japanese side.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Part 6 of battle of midway from Japanese Perspective , Image used in this video is of Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryū , which was an aircraft carrier built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the 1930s. Hiryū and three other fleet carriers of the First Air Fleet (Kido Butai) participated in the Battle of Midway in June 1942. After bombarding American forces on the atoll, the carriers were attacked by aircraft from Midway and the carriers USS Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown. Dive bombers from Yorktown and Enterprise crippled Hiryū and set her afire. She was scuttled the following day after it became clear that she could not be salvaged. The loss of Hiryū and three other IJN carriers at Midway was a crucial strategic defeat for Japan and contributed significantly to the Allies' ultimate victory in the Pacific.

Here prior to the pinned comment again.
The explanation of the Japanese Navy mindset and lack of ability to adjust is really fascinating. During my entire military and business careers, I was taught that flexibility and the importance to adapt was a prerequisite. When I was serving in the SF, we were constantly told the Mind was the ultimate weapon. Leading Men requires adaptation once the operation starts. A highly planned and effective Five Paragraph Order gets you onto the target. Often something occurs that requires adaptation.
The Japanese training and mindset of the Navy seems to have been as responsible for the developments at Midway and later battles. Admiral Nagumo would have been a master of his training and strict disciplined to his orders. I now question if the Admiral had the authority or ability to deviate from Naval doctrine. I thank you for this new perspective and knowledge.
Thank you for your time. Hopefully my comment will find favor with the algorithm. Wake up in morning have 10k more subs.
Too many commercials! Not worth watching!
how's the Americans won midway and turned the course of their war yet they ignored the warning for Pearl Harbor and allow that to go go ahead and get them into the war which creates the dominance of peoples economies lending or lease lending to enable them to find a way into the economy of the free countries like what they're trying to do now finger in Evri pie
They were also fully aware of the impending attack on Pearl Harbour…. and stood back and allowed it to happen
to get their way into the war !!! Chi ching !!!
Very thorough analysis and very interesting!
Excellent work
The Japanese were foolish constantly dividing their forces i.e. their powerful ships, didn't they have a couple of more carriers that could have been at Midway and therefore have 6 or 8 more aviation squadrons to attack the Americans with? I realize the Japanese lost their tiptop aircrews and aircraft ground crew members but they would have had those aircraft to counterattack the Americans wit? Maybe I'm wrong, I thought a couple of carriers went to the Alaskan waters?
I want to know more about the days after the bombs. What happened? Where were the Japanese? What was the plan if the bombs didn't work.
