Footage of Japanese Admiral Yamamoto’s State Funeral- 5 June 1943
Isoroku Yamamoto (1884-1943) was a Japanese Navy Marshal and one of the most famous Japanese commanders during WWII. He joined the Japanese Navy in 1904, serving on the cruiser Nisshin during the Russo-Japanese War, were he was wounded at the Battle of Tsushima, losing two fingers on his left hand.
Between 1919 and 1921 he studied at Harvard, and was twice Naval Attache in Washington DC. During these times, he traveled around the US a lot, learning about American culture and industry.
His first own command was the cruiser Isuzu in 1928, followed by the aircraft carrier Akagi from December 1928 to November 1929.
He participated at the London Naval Conferences in 1930 and 1935, because he spoke fluent English.
He was opposed to the war with China and Japan joining the Axis, which led to him being critisised by many other Japanese officers. He was made commander of the Combined Fleet in August 1939. promoted to Admiral in November 1940. Yamamoto was especially interested in naval aviation, and he was involved in the development of the Mitsubishi G3M and G4M bombers.
His most famous role in WWII was being the mastermind behind the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Yamamoto was against a war with the US, because he was aware of Americas industrial power, and knew that just attacking the American fleet in the Pacific and taking American bases would not be enough to win against the US.
Nevertheless, he obeyed his orders, and planned and carry out the attack against Pearl Harbor. This made him a prime target and one of the most well-known Japanese admirals in the US.
After Pearl Harbor, he continued to command the Combined Fleet, including during the terrible loss at Midway.
He conducted an inspection tour throughout the South Pacific in early 1943, but American Navy intelligence deciphered codes about his exact route, and the Americans launched Operation Vengeance, a plan to kill him.
On April 18th, 1943, his G4M transport plane was shot down during flight over Bougainville by American bombers. His body was found the next day by Japanese troops and cremated; his ashes were returned to Tokyo, where he was given a state funeral on June 5th.
This video shows footage from Japanese propaganda newsreels aired on June 8th, depicting his state funeral.

Blotting out the swastikas doesn't change history, you know. What happened still happened. If you're gonna do that, what's the point of posting this at all? Stop trying to white wash history & just present as it was.
Always refreshing to see that people value me spending dozens of hours translating and timing subtitles by complaining about a small details about an image. This is a speech, by the way. The image is just there so you don't have to stare at a black screen. But my guess is you didnt watch the video at all, just immediatly went to the comment section to complain, you ungrateful little s.... Anyways, feel free to not watch my videos, or upload this stuff yourself without the censored Swastika.
@@GermanWWIIArchive I watched it start to finish actually. Being an avid studier of all things National Socialist, it is a speech I know very well & credit where it is most certainly due in the effort that was made, thank you. I just find it frustrating when I can go to at least 4 other channels who don't seem to have found the same necessity in removing "a small detail" as you put it & just presented the historical newsreel uncensored.
Again, its a speech. There is no video. I cannot understand why you would care so much about a single image that has little to do with the actual speech. And, if you can go to "at least 4 other channels", then why dont you just do so? Instead you sit here complaining. Stop watching my videos, go to these other 4 channels and be happy there.
When I see the soldiers among the young girls picking the grapes instead of risking their lives on the eastern front, I can't help wondering who their fathers are.
Great that this isn't censored. I don't believe in diluting history or sanitizing it. We learn from history. People need to see and recognize real hatred for certain groups...and not repeat it!!!
*Danke fürs Einstellen!*
Is there any newswerk that include the capture of norway or anything related to norway? Thanks for the content!
Search, I have seen them. Remember, most are from 1940
It was said after the war by the Americans and British that suddenly come August 1944, there were more people claiming to be in the French Resistance than there were people in France.
Excellent presentation. Leave it as it is w/no sound. It's an historical documentary. Seldom do we see thru a tank gunner's periscope like this.
ありがとう ございます! 🙏
The longer the war went on, the more these films began to resemble a joke. By January 1945, the Germans had already lost the war, it was just a matter of securing it for the allies.
Danke, es ist immer sehr interessant, auch solche Einblicke in die damalige japanische Zeit zu erhalten.
2:32 Is that Taboritsky in the back right side?.
Fascinating footage. Many thanks!
War is shitty for everyone involved
Daha fazla Japonya’dan veri istiyoruz. Türkiye’den selamlar 😊
Interesting here how they admit they’re retreating without having it seem like retreating. All these films are odd, as by mid 1943 the population of Germany was convinced that they weren’t going to win the war. Goebbels, in his diary, said that the government was worried that the public was tired of the war and that they had to do something to prevent that from turning against the government. So certainly, in films in 1944 and later, when we see all of those happy faces, we know it’s false. I always wonder, when watching these films, how many that I see, military and civilian, survived at the end, and how many I’m watching, did not.
The coffin looks so small. Or is ir the cremated remains?
cremated remains
Grandios 😊
Thanks very much!

It should be noted that unlike in western armies, the title of Marshal in the Japanese Empire was largely honorific and had little to do with actual command power. During WWII, only six Japanese officers- three Army Generals (Terauchi, Sugiyama and Hata) and three Admirals(Yamamoto, Nagano and Koga) were given that rank, two of them (Yamamoto and Koga) posthumously. 00:32 The officer in front carries Yamamoto’s sword, the officers behind him carry his medals on cushions, as it is common during funerals of soldiers. 00:34 Yamamoto was awarded the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Chysanthemum, Japans highest order, posthumously on April 18th, 1943. 00:55 The Suikosha was a friendship and research organization for the Japanese Navy, founded in March 1876. It was an official organization with the President being a Japanese Prince Navy General, and the Director being the Minister of Navy. It operated facilities open exclusive for naval and higher civilian officers and provided help and financial support for navy officers. The organization was abolished with the end of the war, but a similar organization, called the Suikosha Foundation, was created in 1952 and is still active as a support organization for former and active Japanese Navy officers. 01:01 The song “Lay Down your Life”, in Japanese: 命を捨てて (Inochi wo sutete) is a traditional Japanese military funeral march. You can find a modern rendition by a Japanese Army Band here: ua-cam.com/video/rTly0_KJVPI/v-deo.html 01:06 I believe this torn and shredded Japanese war flag was recovered from the crashed plane Yamamoto was in, but I’m not 100% sure. 03:03 Koichi Shiozawa (1881-1943) was a Japanese Admiral during the first half of the 20th century. He joined the Japanese Navy in 1904, ranking 2nd out of 192 cadets in his class. He served as an officer on various ships, including cruisers and battleships, from 1905 to 1909. During WWI, he was a naval observer to the UK from 1917 to 1919, and served on the British HMS Resolution and HMS Royal Oak. Various other staff positions followed, including commander of the 5th fleet from February 1938 to January 1939, commanding the ships during the Second Sino-Japanese war. He was promoted to full admiral in November 1939, and had his last command, chief of the Yokosuka Naval District, from September 1940 to September 1941. He was a lifelong friend of Admiral Yamamoto and presided over his funeral; Shiozawa himself died a few months later in November 1943 at age 62 of an acute pancreas aliment. 03:24 Prince Saneatsu Tokudaiji (1889-1970) was a Japanese nobleman. He became chamberlain to the Emperor in 1932, and a member of the House of Peers in March 1937. Additionally, he served as a Lieutenant colonel of the Cavalry troops during WWII, although he never held a frontline command. He resigned from the House of Peers in May 1946 and became chief priest of the Heian Shrine in November 1960, until he retired in September 1968, dying two years later. 03:42 There is a small section of footage missing here, probably due to damage to the original film rolls. 03:44 Prince Fushimi Hiroyasu (1875-1946) was a Japanese Naval Admiral and head of the Fushimi-no-miya family, one of four branches of the Japanese imperial family. He served in the Russo Japanese War, became a member of the supreme war council from 1920 onwards and was a strong supporter of a stronger Japanese Navy. He was promoted to Marshal in May 1932, and served as the chief of the Japanese Navy General Staff from February 1932 to April 1941, his last military assignment. He died shortly after the end of the war in August 1946. 03:55 Yoshimasa Yamamoto (1922-2014) was the oldest son of Yamamoto. He wanted to enroll in the Naval Academy, but due to medical complications, he studied agriculture at the Tokyo Imperial Academy. He later volunteered to become a Navy pilot but was again declined due to his bad eyesight. After the war, he studied engineering and worked at a paper mill in Nagaoka; he was also the honorary president of the Yamamoto Museum. He died of pneumonia in June 2014. 04:28 Hideki Tojo (1884-1948) was a Japanese General and Politician who served as the 40th Prime Minister of Japan from October 1941 to July 1944. He joined the Japanese Military as an Officer in 1905, serving in various staff positions and quickly developing an interest in politics. After becoming Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army in 1935 and leading it in the first stages in the Sino-Japanese war, he returned to Japan in May 1938, he became Vice Army Minister, and finally in July 1940 Army Minister. He quickly became one of the most influential Japanese politicians and was an advocate of an alliance with Germany and Italy. After Prime Minister Konoe failed to reach a diplomatic solution with the USA, he resigned, and Emperor Hirohito made Tojo the new Prime Minister. Tojo was ultimately responsible for escalation the strained relations with the USA to a war, beginning with the attack on Pearl Harbor. HWhen the war situation turned against Japan, more and more influential politicians demanded his resignation, and he was finally forced to resign in July 1944. After Japan’s surrender in 1945, Tojo was arrested by the Americans and tried by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, found guilty of war crimes and waging a war of aggression and ordering mistreatment of prisoners and civilians, and was hanged on December 23rd, 1948. 04:50 This is Yamamotos grave at the Tokyo National Cemetery in Tama. It is still there today. 04:58 Heihachiro Togo (1848-1934) was a Japanese Marshal of the Imperial Japanese Navy, serving between 1863 and 1913. As commander of the Combined fleet during the Russo-Japanese War, he managed to successfully pin down the Russian fleet at Porth Arthus in February 1904, before achieving a stunning victory in the Battle of Tsushima, where the Japanese sunk 21 Russian ships, including 6 battleships, totaling 135,893 tons and captured 5 more, while losing only 3 torpedo boats. These successes made him a national hero in Japan and respected abroad, with British press calling him the “Nelson of the East”. He died on May 30th, 1934, and his state funeral was held on June 5th, 1934, the same day as Yamamoto 9 years later.

Interesting video.
I would like to ask if you have any combat documentaries about the Grossdeutschland infantry or armored divisions in World War II, especially on the Eastern Front. There are not enough documentaries about this division that are popular on UA-cam. I hope there are detailed combat documentaries about them.
Wow, Wow, Wow ! Outstanding footage of Bf 109 's. Colour so bad though it may as well been black 'n' white ! But great to watch anyway, probably just degraded with age; that and the fact that colour film was still a very new thing and not as good as b & w at the time. Would like to see more footage of 109's like that !

German military was not ready for war, probably another 2 more years ,almost at the end of ww2 their very effective automatic rifle invented, just imagine having that rifle at the beginning of the war? The Russian army used a full automatic rifle almost from the beginning of ww2, nevertheless the German military was all about perfection
