Right of line, First a foot brMy first duty station was the grunt camp Horno based on Camp Pendleton with 1/1 First Marine Division 2009- 2012brbrI remember walking into report for the first time and as I walked into the building and saw for the first time the complete battle record and flag for the first Marines And I immediately thought to myself “Damn! The old breed left some mighty big boots to fill”brbrMarines of the Old Breed forged the legacy of the First Marine division that the new Breed or anyone else for that matter Can never surpass, but will always fight to uphold and maintain Semper Fi brothers Comment from : Landon Lacy

While the narration is reasonably accurate (except for the failure to mention that the '03 Springfield was still the Marine Corps standard shoulder arm and would be until 1943 and that Adm Mikawa commanded the 8th Fleet at Savo Island, not the Fourth), the film depiction is downright poor I don't know if it's budget constraints, poor knowledge of the subject and/or laziness, it took away what would have been a decent documentary Too bad Comment from : lawrence myers

My father was in the Army they would come in and clean up the mess left by the Marine’s He was joking of course Comment from : Michael Conley

Lots of errors in this video but still able to mostly enjoy it The 37mm with canister was indeed a formidable weapon Broke the back of many charges by the Japanese Until Army troops showed up, there were no M1's available for the Marines Comment from : kelly Borgman

Typical kiwis Strikers in war time, strike breakers (scabs) in peace time! Comment from : Andrew Barten

NEVER call a Marine a Soldier Comment from : Adam Hubbert

The Marines did have a core of dedicated professional NCOs that had served all throughout central america so the few who did have experience with jungle warfare were well placed Comment from : Adam Hubbert

Weellllll there's unprepared and then there's USMC unprepared Comment from : Adam Hubbert

Thank you for including such detailed weapons analysis I however am no longer in the market Comment from : donofon101

The marines mostly used the Springfield at the start Comment from : Tommy Lawton

United States navy attacked Pearl Harbour using either the leased Mitsubishi Zero from Japan or painted the Douglas Doubtless to look the same as a Zero added a tail hook and launched them from the four aircraft carriers that left Pearl Harbour the day before Comment from : alistair may

I respect any race who fights the white man they raped and enslaved my forefathers and discriminate against me to this day Comment from : theiconiumfoundation

It will be 80 years on the 7th August 2022 since the landing of the 1st Division Marines on Guadalcanal I will remember and say a little prayer for those who survived and those who were KIA 🇦🇺 🇺🇸 Comment from : Aussie Downunder

The first model map they showed of Guadalcanal was not the correct model map If you know your Pacific war you will recognise it as TARAWA!!! Silly mistake in the doco 😂😂 Comment from : Aussie Downunder

My grandfather fought on the island with the 1st Marines as artillery I also used to transport a gentlemen in the ambulance who was a Higgins landing craft driver in the navy who just so happened to drop marines off on the island He struggled with dementia but he always remembered the island I would always have to rebuild my repor with him due to his dementia and well I was in the door quickly when I mentioned Guadalcanal and the 1st marines ;) this was years after my grandfather had passed but used to love transporting him because well he reminded my of my grandfather in that aspect Comment from : Scopes Doped

Ya all what the history channel is anymore are these fake reality shows Comment from : James Eveland

The Marines DID NOT HAVE M-1 Garandsonly Army units did The Type 99 Japanese rifle was junk The Type 99 was based on the Mauser 1893 cock on closing bolt action with a horrendous safety This documentary does not touch on the fact that the Americans had the wonderful jungle fighting weapon of the Thompson SMG in its various forms nor the BAR squad automatic weapon Plus the Americans advantages in the 1918 heavy and 1919 light Browning belt fed machine guns These weapons were worlds ahead of anything the Japanese had Comment from : rufus blake

Attacking well armed man in a good position with a full frontal attack will almost always end in a disaster It's like Lee at Gettysburg At Guadalcanal the Americans didn't have to go out looking for the Japanese and that was a disaster for the Japanese forces In the one battle of the Pacific that was nearly equal in manpower the Japanese wasted theirs The ridiculousness of fighting to a outdated Bushido code cost a lot of young men their lives Comment from : Boo Kaufman

The individual soldiers of the Japanese army and Navy were incredibly brave but suffered from some of the worst leadership in any sphere of world war II The commanders of their armies you used tactics that were barely adapted from the American civil war There is no point in charging straight ahead into artillery and machine gun fire It seemed as if it was a lesson that they never learned Comment from : Boo Kaufman

Tribute to Joe Gott, who survived the many landings with the 1st Marines After 3 Purple Hearts Passed recently, he wanted his ashes scattered over the Pacific Comment from : Mike Gantwerger

My Great-Grandad was there… he lost his finger at that time Comment from : Space Hunter

Few of the maps are accurate Sad Comment from : 2ddw

Ok im not sure about calling those samurai charge attack bravery lol running into mortar and machine guns fire with samurai sword, screaming and howling wasn't very smart was it? And they also never learned their lesson, coz the attack failed miserably numerous times and they still kept coming with the same plan of attack That isn't smart that just plain stupidity That would only work if they really did or number the opposition and only if it was a surprise attack from a close range Which is not possible due to the shelling from this shops and air support Humperizer humperizing Comment from : I hia O look i hia too

It’s unfortunate that communist China now has a foot in the Solomon Islands Comment from : Tony Doggett

Describing the battle of Edson’s Bloody Ridge without mentioning Merritt Edson was glaring omission Comment from : Barber Bob Edson

Jesus Loves You Comment from : Sky Portal Music

By wars end the average Japanese soldier looked as if he's spend years in a concentration camp,the Japanese soldier was dying from disease and starvation faster than you could shoot them, basically the war was over for Japan only a matter of time before they bow in defeat Comment from : fabio sunspot

Father was in WW 11 German theater Comment from : William Canter

The Guadalcanal campaign, also known as the Battle of Guadalcanal and codenamed Operation Watchtower by American forces, was a military campaign fought between 7 August 1942 and 9 February 1943 on and around the island of Guadalcanal in the Pacific theater of World War II Comment from : HamburgerCheeseBurger

Light mobile tanks… Well immobile tanks would be just canons - right ? Comment from : Jo LiMag 🇺🇦

Did USA army rangers fight in the battle of Guadalcanal? Comment from : the honourable private

Starting at 28:15, can anyone tell me what the music piece here is? I've heard it sampled over and over in other Pacific War documentaries Comment from : Ｂｉｇ　Ｍａｎ，Ｉｎｃ

How sad that the gross inaccuracies multiply with every retelling of these histories The mix-mash of technical/operational errors in weapons, tactics, reduced this to a brutally dull production No wonder folks struggle to know our history Comment from : Pat Fontaine

The landing craft and islands at 28:50 were Iwo Jima landings Comment from : Paul Redinger

In the battle, all I can see are trees being shot to death Comment from : Ozzie Wozzie Original

I guess Jackson Pollock got to choose where the Stars go for the American Flag close ups Comment from : Ian Murren

I love these documentaries! However, I equally hate how they use footage from other campaigns! Most people wouldn't know the difference but, that is how history gets twisted Some of you will understand this However, I am still addicted to history, no matter how inaccurate the videography accompanying them is 🇺🇸 Comment from : WINDBORNE

We were buddies before we jus had a misunderstanding still to this day Comment from : Bleeed

GuadalcanalJust mention of this word brings a strong sense of pride for the united states marineOnly two word may mean more to themIwo Jima Comment from : djsi38t

At 23:14 this poor fellow, a fine & distinguished English gentleman has to choke out the word "zeke" and this is as close to a square peg being forced through a round hole as is possible in language lol Good effort my fine fellow! Comment from : Canuck_Gamer33

No scene lasts longer than 3 seconds which tells me the makers of this video think we have the attention span of a 6 year old Comment from : James Roberts

Much Iwo Jima footage starting at the 28:15 mark Somewhat misleading The landings at Guadalcanal were totally unopposed Comment from : James Roberts

A fine historical documentary Comment from : Luis Opelario

Burn in Hell anyone talking about the History Channel We get it Comment from : Genghis Roundstone

Guadalcanal, where the US Marine Corps became Marines Ghormly abandoned them and they did what Marines do Adapt and overcome They also had some of the best leadership that the Marine Corps has ever produced Semper Fidelis Comment from : Michael Bailey

The “History” channel used to have these programs Now we have to come to the internet to see them Comment from : Flammable 281

the rifle was M1903 i think, at least for most foot soldiers, i guess only officers got the better rifles maybe? Comment from : Ninja Wizard

Great video Comment from : Germany

All you "experts" that complain about inaccuracies, should go and make your own perfect documentaries Comment from : dar4431

At the stage of the war US Marines were armed with the Model 1903 Springfield RiflebrGenerally speaking the US Army were the first users of the M1 Garand Rifle until about 1943, when there were enough M1 Rifles to go aroundbrAt that time the Springfield 1903 Rifles were withdrawn from front line service(The biggest exception was the Model 1903 rifles that were turned into sniper rifles with the addition of a Unertil scope)The remainder were used by support units or given away to allies,such as Free French Forces Comment from : MrRexdale71

Excellent frontal development on the dude at 46:19 Comment from : David Perry

Semper Fi from the 3rd Battalion 1st Marine Regiment of the 1st Marine Division! Comment from : Pale Rider

All this death destruction and SACRIFICE only to see TYRANNY rear it’s ugly head in America through 2020 ELECTION FRAUD!brI lost an Uncle who was a Navy Pilot at Midway and another Uncle who was captured at Corregidor, survived the Battan Death March, years as a Japanese POW, a Japanese Hell ship and finally freed in Japan at the end of the war My Family know something about SACRIFICE! Comment from : Pale Rider

Like they say in Texas,if you Mess with the Bull You Get the Horns! Comment from : ClarksonsinUSA

The decision to invade Guadalcanal was made quickly by Admiral Ernest J King; for better or worse, it was a very decisive commitment that preserved the American and British supply lines to Australia and New Zeeland allied war efforts This decision bears closer historical examination Comment from : Joel McCoy

Australia was in such peril God bless our Marines and the brave Diggers Comment from : Linda Inglis

この突入作戦に参加した、辻政信の手記によると海と陸からの砲撃で突入地点の飛行場周辺はスコール。その中褌姿の一団が陣地構築。br「一体彼らは何者？」と疑問符。彼等は海軍設営隊が動員した半島出身者。アメリカ軍の上陸と共に投稿。この様な事も知らずに現地に出向くとは。 Comment from : hokutotelecom

These are the best documentaries series by far about ww2 Comment from : T Town

Too nice historic video with clear explaining of events👍👍👍 Comment from : Andreas Leonardo

"Appears" to have been VERY interesting and informative, too bad the sound was near muted NO AUDIBLE SOUND!!! must have been recorded at a low volume, what a waste of a great documentary! sad! Comment from : Vic Garcia

The Marines took the 03 Springfield bolt action rifle into "The Canal" They only got M1 Garands by stealing them from Army units that were posted to the island No BAR or Thompsons were shown as well as the unreliable Reising gun! No motars either?? Shsst, this show has more holes in it that a wedge of Swiss cheese Sad when they get the history wrong! Comment from : Captain Clone

Glaring error made at the 30:00 minute mark Gavutu and Tanambogo Islands are so small they can only be called islets The animation shows instead Florida Island (today Nggela), a much larger land mass which was NOT part of the initial invasion Comment from : Mitchell Hawkes

JUST COME SEE HILL 27 BARANA PARK Comment from : Allan Jarrett Basi

私はこのシリーズを本当に楽しんでいます Comment from : Kiku Futaba

An excellent documentary Comment from : M N

My father was at Guadalcanal with the 1st Marine Division This documentary has many historical inaccuracies, including the type of landing craft, the primary rifle of the infantryman to name two For accuracy of equipment, watch Victory at Sea, Guadalcanal - Episode 6 In the films from that show, you can see the correct equipment - rifles - M1903 Springfield Rifle, Caliber 30 and landing craft - the Higgins Boat made in Mississippi Comment from : 360S0D
