Stumbeled on to this on You tube, Midway from the japanese perspective

[mogge]

Really exellent documentary of the Battle of Midway told from the Japanese perspective, this is the best documentary i have ever seen of the battle of Midway. Those 42 minutes just flew by, and i have never been too interested in the battle of Midway, probably because i couldnt fully grasp it, until now.

I would recommend the book "Shattered Sword"  for a really fascinating look at Midway from the Japanese perspective.  Lots of interesting information on how the Japanese operated their carriers.

"Hello guys, so here’s an update. Part 2 is still in the making. At moment it’s clocking in at 46 minutes. So, It’s actually longer than part 1. A breakdown of it goes as follows: 0:00-28:00 It starts off with the disaster at 1026 and Hiryu’s retaliatory strike. It carries on to the conclusion of the battle with some analysis. Then I go into some detail regarding the sinking of the Mikuma and the Yorktown. Then the final conclusion. 28:00-46:00 I give a recap of the Morning events but this time from the American POV. This is to illustrate (clearly, I hope), how the Americans were able to get the drop on the Japanese and win the battle. At the moment, I am about 85% done with the animations. Then I have to record, edit, and add the music. And I’m trying something new this time, I want to add some artwork to the video. So once that is all done, I’ll publish the video. Sorry for the long wait guys! the success of part 1 was completely unexpected for me. If I had known, I probably wouldn’t have posted Part 1 without having completed part 2 as well. Thanks for patience and Happy Easter!

Well even the new Midway movie described this. 
I found it to present the confusion and dilemma very well. Even the suicide attack from the B 26. 
 

To me that video was well presented and done. But no real news

Should have know it was already posted.

I watched all three in order a couple of days ago and I was quite happy with his presentation. Imo they were better than some professional documentaries.
