USS Johnston ping!
The narrative has been twisted around to the point that the Japanese and Germans became victims to a growing US military Industrial complex.
Any student of history knows the truth about WWII - the question is, do young people read any more?
Awesome!
I have the 3 CD set. Great series.
I have this entire series on dvd at my gun shop... When I get a bunch of youngsters in there that express any interest in history, I put one of the dvd’s in an let them see history in black and white. It is a new experience for them. The hardest one for me to watch is the episode on the submarine warfare in the south Pacific... I actually get to see my dad in action as a young man. I sure miss him - but at least I get to see him, even if only for a moment, and even if only in black and white. I’m still proud to call him dad, and my hero. And I miss him terribly...
Remember watching “Victory at Sea” as a kid, WDSU TV channel 6, think that was the only channel available at that time............Dang I’m old.
During my Naval career we’d freqently show episodes of Victory At Sea as traing films.
Scored the entire 26 episodes in a box set from a garage sale for $5.00.They were brand new never opened.Brilliant series.
I have them all. My father loved the series. He would never miss an episode. He served on Guadalcanal, New Guinea, Cape Gloucester and Peleliu. Richard Rodgers and the NBC Orchestra were fabulous.
My dad made an emergency landing with his B-29 at Iwo coming back from the last mission of the war.
We owe our very lives to the sacrifices made by the valiant Marines who stormed ashore Iwo Jima.
