Wolves of the Pacific Bonus video DVD

Comments

1. Who lost WWII? White people did.
2. That was a close call with the Japanese Central Force. If Admiral Kurita had better situational awareness, He probably would have pushed on to Leyte. Halsey should have left his strong battleship force behind to guard the northern flank of the landing beaches before going after the decoys.
3. Typical American propaganda ;-)
   Top 100 submarine aces of all time only Germans
   "The Americans were a joke"
4. Excellent documentary.
5. Furniture log administrative chaos vote vital indication seventh.
6. Just for you Kevin.
7. The USS Bang was in Groton, CT. when I was in sub school - 1967.. I was on USS Redfish, AGSS-395 starting in late '67..then on USS Razorback to the end.. That one is now in North Little Rock, AR. for visitors..
8. My brother served aboard the USS Robert E. Lee during the Vietnam war. I was always worried about him. He survived, thank God, many didn't, they are on Eternal patrol
9. Should of left that bastard G. Bush out in the waters for the sharks.
10. Is filme foarte mute super fain yutube
11. Manitowoc, WI produced 28 submarines during WWII.
12. I downloaded this
13. They don't mention Admiral Clifton Sprague with his escort carriers, destroyers and destroyer escorts of Taffy 3 were the real heroes of the battle of Leyte Gulf, by turning back the Central Force of Kurita's strike force, against all odds. That is a whole story by itself and a brave one.
14. My grandfathers cousin was a welder at the Electric Boat Factory in Wisconsin where they manufactured submarines. He later was sent to naval yards in California to repair damaged ships. He told us that he would spend almost 16 hours working and would get 8 hours off when these ships came in for repair. Also, I went to a couple of seal seminars and learned that the seals used on periscopes and the drive shafts on submarines were from the Chesterton Seal Co. Most people don't think about the sea pressure that is exerted on a submerged vessel. But something has to hold the water back.
15. Served on the old diesel Boats, Nuke fast attacks, and SSBN's. Good boats, good crews. Wish I could do it again. Alas they don't take on 80 year old guys.
16. 3:40 they forgot to mention that the Kaiser did not order unrestricted submarine warfare "just because", but because the Brits armed their civil merchantmen and opened fire at German vessels, which was a violation of international law.
17. I ment my great grandfather
18. my dad worked FDR and was in the submarine
19. Thanks so much... excellent documentary... great footage !
