The day after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Army administered the first “attitude survey” to members of the Ninth Infantry Division, then stationed at Fort Bragg. Soldiers were asked 118 questions about myriad facets of their military service and prior civilian experience. Over the course of the war the army administered surveys to over half a million American soldiers across the globe....

For more than two years during World War II George C. Marshall was the major proponent for invading northern France as opposed to British proposals-often endorsed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt-to instead invade French North Africa and Italy in the Mediterranean. This debate quickly became a highly divisive controversy within the Grand Alliance-one that almost wrecked the Allied coalition. ...

More than one million Black soldiers served in World War II. Black troops were at Normandy, Iwo Jima, and the Battle of the Bulge, serving in segregated units while waging a dual battle against inequality in the very country for which they were laying down their lives. The stories of these Black veterans have long been ignored, cast aside in favor of the myth of the “Good War” fought by the “Gr...

George C. Marshall, the Army’s Chief of Staff during 1939-45 and Secretary of State and Defense during 1947-49 and 1950-51, respectively, is best known as the Allies’ “organizer of victory” during World War II and steward of the namesake economic recovery program that helped stave off communist-incited instability in postwar Western Europe. Far less well-known is Marshall’s extensive engagement...

In 1942, Army Chief of Staff George Marshall revitalized the Army’s tradition of unit-based newspapers with the distribution of field kits “brimming with printing gear,” including mimeograph machines, on which the mostly novice journalists cranked out their news sheets. At a time when the press around the world was censored (even American newspapers were corralled by the U.S. government into a ...

During World War II, over 18,000 dogs were given to the Army’s War Dog Training Center. After a health screening, these dogs received specialized training for military life. They were desensitized to muzzles, gas masks, jeeps, and gunfire, and given separate collars for working and relaxing. Dogs learned to adapt to different situations. One of these dogs was Fleet, Marshall’s beloved (if poorl...

These women who did extraordinary things didn’t expect thanks and shied away from medals and recognition. Despite their amazing accomplishments, they’ve gone mostly unheralded and unrewarded. No longer. These are the women of World War II who served, fought, struggled...

    Fantastic video, took a bit of hunting to find it, sad it has so few views for such a well put together insight. Would love to visit the library one day, its great that its there and Friedman's work remains as it was, an invaluable start to the world of Cryptanalysis.

    With so much disagreement on WWII, has any scholar surveyed the field and tried to bring clarity to all that has been written previously? The scholarship seems to be sprawling a bit. There are books written about the interviews done with German generals after the war. Recently, I have read that they lied in most of what they said.

    Winston Churchill was a fraud, sorry Brits. As he famously said "The winner writes the history books". The British survived the Blitz in 1940 when Herr Goering mis-calculated his air power. Had the Germans done the militarily correct thing, invaded Great Britain (Operation Sea Lion) and let the invasion of Russian wait until Britain was defeated, Churchill would have been crushed like a bug even if the US had intervened, which they probably would not have. A full scale Barbarossa level invasion of Great Britain would have been over in a matters of weeks if not days.

    Excellent discussions by each and the best I believe was the 2nd Speaker discussing the Iraq war and lack of cultural mobilization compared to World War II, almost all the burden fall upon our professional soldiers and not upon the nation. I greatly appreciate that part and his discussion of private military companies...he is absolutely correct in explaining that such did not mobilze our people to go to war against terrorism.

    MacArthur and Marshall were well acquainted with each other in WWI. Marshall was a staff officer under Pershing who MacArthur did not get along with. That's why Marshall was transferred to the Illinois National Guard when MacArthur was Army Chief of Staff. This guy has some work to do in the research department.

    Marshall wanted to keep going through Germany and attack Russia. Deluded. MacArthur thought he was a demi god to the Phillipinos. He wasn't. His way of soldiering was from WW1. The Japanese fought like insurgents. He was completely out of his depth. My father was in the Australian High Command at Port Moresby. The Americans came to the rescue of the Aussies at Kokoda and on the North coast of New Guinea. The Australians came to the rescue of the Americans in New Britain. HQ operated despite MacArthur. He demonstrated that he had learned nothing from WW1, WW2 and the near disaster in Korea. His firing by Truman happened way past when the Korean War was nearly lost. Truman had no choice. MacArthur was deluded too.

    Snow is pushing myths himself. Where are the Americans who think their nations won the war by themselves? He quotes a couple of anecdotes, then goes on to repeat the mantra of the myth, telling us things Americans don't know that I learned reading library books about World War II in the fifth grade. In the end, its just a rationalization for scold Americans and reinforcing your prejudices about them.

    speakers can't even talk, when they do they either read it from paper or just lie about almost everything. Just picking up what you need when you talk about an issue doesn't mean you are professionaly true and scientific. These 3 guys openly lying and distorting almost about everything, unbelievable. How they were not ready, how US never planned something like a world war, how it was a big surprise at PH, how Dresden bombing was nothing. You should be ashamed of yourselfs. These are not myths of ww2, these are distortions of ww2, grey-propagating of ww2, sorry but we ain't buy it:)
