What happened to The Pacific? The uncut doesn't start at the beginning of the episode.

I don’t think anything happened really that intro part with narration is only seen in episode 1 and isn’t all that important you can hear the opening theme a few minutes in so they didn’t miss any of the actual show.

I'm glad this series didn't overlook the racism element that a lot of shows or movies do. It was used as a tactic to dehumanize the enemy, which is unfortunately needed in war. The Japanese felt they were racially superior to everyone in Asia and were extremely racist. You could see that with all the Nazi-like atrocities they committed against the various ethnic groups there. WWII brought out the worst in humanity.

American war propaganda promoted extreme racism towards the Japanese. Check out old Dr. Seuss political cartoons. The Germans/Italians were just portrayed as comically buffoonish, while the Japanese were portrayed in hideous racial caricatures. Japanese-Americans who were decorated WW1 veterans who fought for the U.S., were still thrown in internment camps. On the other side, Japanese propaganda did the same thing towards the U.S. and Chinese. Both sides used racial propaganda to dehumanize the other which would be used to justify brutal wartime atrocities. against both soldiers and civilians.

To Chris' question about USSR/Japan, in the '30s, when Japan was expanding their empire through Northern China and Mongolia, there were border skirmishes between the USSR and Japan. But they ended up signing a neutrality pact in 1941. The Japanese planned to break the pact and invade the USSR, but as the war dragged on and supplies dwindled it became an unfeasible operation. After Germany was defeated, the USSR declared war on Japan again and attacked Japanese positions in Manchuria in the final months of the war, one of the many factors influencing their surrender.

This show hits way different than BoB.

The landing on Guadalcanal was thrown together in like a month to stop the Japanese airbase from being built. While the marines had trained for amphibious operations before the war, this battle was the first major offensive operation undertaken by American troops in the war. In Band of Brothers, North Africa, Sicily, and Italy had already been invaded in the ETO by the time Easy Company entered the war. As for the inhumanity showed towards the Japanese, while there was definitely a racist underpinning, a lot of that animosity was created by the way the Japanese acted. They swarmed in Banzai attacks, instead of surrendering when injured they would try to take out the marines or corpsmen (medics) who were checking on them, and they would often torture to death and mutilate their prisoners. One of my family members who fought in the Pacific hated the Japanese for the rest of his life because of the stuff he saw them do.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The brief scene where the US navy lost to the the Japanese fleet was called the "Battle of Savo Island." There's a very informative youtube video about it by a Youtuber called Montemayor. It's 13 minutes long and has over 3 million views, this guy did some serious research for the video. Something else I want to point out is that the marines were using a lot of outdated weapons compared to the US army. The marines had the older bulkier water cooled machine guns that required an oven glove to carry if it overheated. They also had old bolt action rifles from WWI while the army had the much newer and faster firing M1 garand rifles. Lastly, Pat was right, Mickey was wrong, that was Wesley from DareDevil.

One reason you don't want to salute officers in hostile territory is because it puts a target on that officer's back. An enemy sniper might be watching and would love nothing but to pick off your leadership.

Get ready for a ton of violence.

Really? I wasn't expecting violence at all. Thanks for the heads up

Did you all recognize the boy from the first Jurassic Park movie? Little Tim played by Joseph Mazzello. He’s Eugene Sledge (heart murmur).

Interesting. I recognised him from the Facebook movie

German and Italian nationals were also interned during WW2

You can thank the British for allying themselves with Jap spies for Pearl Harbor.

I highly recommend giving a listen to the audio episodes of Supernova in the East from Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. It gives tremendous insight into the japanese and their part in this war and just like everything carlin does those long hours fly by like nothing due to his charismatic style of retelling.
