This week, it seems that the Allies are setting themselves up for disappointment across the fronts. In the USA the press is buzzing with anticipation of a huge "revenge" attack coming any day now against Japan. In the USSR Stalin is confident that the relentless assault of his forces could lead to the collapse of German fighting capability within 1942. In the UK, Churchill is hoping for tens of thousands of US forces to sweep across North Africa. Indeed, these expectations might be checked in the coming weeks.

German U-Boats to Strike New York - WW2 - 125 - January 16, 1942

Operation Pauchenslag, long-range German submarines operating just of the US Coast, kicks into action this week, as does the Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies. They also take Kuala Lumpur. Meanwhile, the Soviet Red Army offensive all along the Eastern Front has its first full week of action, with the Soviets making some real territorial gains in the center, though a German offensive in the Crimea catches them off guard.

Man I live for these uploads, and it’s one of the few places where instead of idiots arguing in the comments it’s got people either expanding on the information in the video or having a joke.

German commander - We have reached america victory is ours, Sir its long island, commander - and we are getting out of this awful place.

O D

Thanks. As point of interest. .. you may want to check out MARCHING ORDERS by Bruce Lee... (I know) . it covers the U.S. breaking of Japanese codes that gave U.S. intelligence on German plans and a look at the Japanese interoperation and strategy..

A bit disappointed that the third battle of Changsha wasn't in the recap at the start of the episode. It did involve 300,000 troops and was the only significant Japanese defeat for the first few months.

Yeah I was a little surprised at that too, since the Third Battle of Changsha ended on 15 Jan 1942 in Japanese defeat.

Like this channel does its best to talk about the Asian side of the Asia Pacific War, but the historiography (or maybe the Youtube viewer numbers) prompt them to move back towards Europe. For example, we get to know when the British, Americans, Germans, and Soviets switch commanders, but not so much in Asia. That said, they have the right books, Tower of Skulls is very good. I am hoping that they go into depth on Burma. It would be really good to have a "state of" the Japanese army special at this time.

I knew an old WWII Merchant Marine sailor when I was a kid. One day I asked him how many ships he had shot out from under him. He didn't skip a beat (we were working) he said 5. He never talked to me about it again. I later SCUBA dived a lot of WWII wrecks off of VA, NJ, NY. You could see how big they were. Most tore in half, 1 inch sheets of steel twisted like foil. Ripped apart.

Hi Chris also scuba dive in the waters off Nova Scotia . I've also been on many shipwrecks from both Wars Halifax Harbor what is the staging area for convoys to both World War 1 and World War II, I've also seen the Twisted remains of merchant ships that met their ends in the waters off the harbour because of enemy action or striking one of the many Shoals that make entering Halifax Harbor a somewhat dangerous thing. . one such ship is the Russian merchant ship Kolkhosnik she left Boston to Halifax with war cargo including tanks (which are still there )when she struck a reef and was carried over it and sunk in 140 ft of water . I dove on it a couple of times it is something to see

My father joined the Royal Canadian Navy When The War Began , including Convoy escort Duty in a Corvette hmcs Summerside and one of the old flushdeck Destroyers Britain got The Americans in the Lend Lease deal 6 of them went to Canada. He would tell me his War Stories when I was about 12 years old I would sit up night after night listening to them dad passed away in 1980s and one night I got to thinking all these stories live only in my memory and that's not the best place for them so I took my time wrote them all down as best I remember them and made copies for my brothers and sisters hopefully this will be remembered.

Hey Time Ghost team! Cheers for another great vid :) You mentioned a while back that Goebbels was concerned about how the German people were being continually fed tales of amazing successes of their army in the east, but no final victory had been forthcoming. What news is coming to them now that the Red Army has taken the initiative?

Hey, just wanted to give my sincere and complete appreciation to Indi, Sparty, Astrid, and everyone that puts this amazing production together. I've been watching your work since the very early days of the Great War and have been enthralled with the level of detail and passion you all pour into these historical projects. World War 2 in real-time, Between two wars, and War against humanity have been some truly impressive, eye-opening, and inspiring pieces of work. The lens through which you view and communicate the events of the past as truly horrific human stories that we as humanity need not repeat, makes me feel like I'm in the right place, learning the lessons from the mistakes, pitfalls, and triumphs of our ancestors. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Both of my Grandfathers have served in China as a medical officer and an MP in the European theatre for the United States respectively, so viewing this content has brought me ever closer to the lives they lived when they were close to my age. I cannot believe it has taken me over half a decade to vocalize my thanks for what you do. Keep up the wonderful work timeghost team!
