  The photo of the Tuskegee airmen is great, but inappropriate. &nbsp;They were brave men, but they fought against the Nazis, not the Japanese. Same with the Montgomery/Eisenhower photo. &nbsp;They had nothing to do with the Pacific war.

  &quot;Torch to the Enemy&quot;, a book on the firebombing, describes several counties in the Midwest which were cleared of civilians to conduct practice bombing raids.

  Too many unrelated images is very distracting.

  What&apos;s going on here? Mark Felton with abonimous grammar. His voice has been lifted for an AI video. Biggest compliment to him.

  When the fires finally stopped, entire sections of Tokyo were simply gone. <br>For many Japanese leaders, the most terrifying part wasn’t just the destruction — it was realizing the Americans could come back again and again with even more bombers. <br> <br>That single night changed how Japan’s high command viewed the war forever. <br> <br>If you had witnessed the Tokyo firebombing from the ground, what do you think would have shocked you most: the scale of the flames… or the sheer number of B-29s overhead?

  Why show the brave RED TAIL airmen in this episode? &nbsp;Also a photo of London citizens in the underground tram system during the Blitz? &nbsp;<br><br>I thought Tokyo was better prepared for catastrophic fires after the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake. &nbsp; The death toll was between 105K to 150K from the firestorms it caused

  Guam, Tinian, and Saipan are not east of Tokyo, they are almost due south.

  Interesting narration. Really could have used a proofreader before posting this. The online subtitles are quite frequently wrong or misspelled. The wording is often repetitive. The images being shown often don&apos;t correlate with what is being talked about. As I said, this needed to be proofed before posting.

  “You don’t know the horrible aspects of war. I’ve been through two wars and I know. I’ve seen cities and homes in ashes. I’ve seen thousands of men lying on the ground, their dead faces looking up at the skies. I tell you, war is Hell!”---General William Tecumseh Sherman, 1879, at Michigan Military Academy (wording approximate)

  Who posts these videos should review them beforehand, with my limited knowledge on the subject I pick up basic errors in the narrative, who knows how many errors are really presented. “Three thousand miles to the east on Guam the bombers are taking off, each fuelled for a three thousand mile round trip” A glaring error. Ai presentation.
