  1. I was about to say the movie Hacksaw Ridge showcases how ferocious the battle was. Nicely put together and well-filmed.❤

  2. Good story to share my dear friend 🌹💕 beautiful work done here. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have great weekend. Be safe there

  3. Those tunnels are amazing, practically a museum. Very cool to see and I can imagine it is a heavy experience. 🦾📺🛡️

  4. I've seen the movie Hacksaw Ridge. It was a fantastic movie. Your tour of this location is fascinating and the underground tunnel tour was amazing! Thanks for sharing this piece of history!👍

  5. I hope that one day we will meet up in one of our travels 🙂 Explore some cool places together! One never knows! Great video in Okinawa, I didn't know much about it! I am learning from you! Brilliant thumbnail! This video makes me realise how much I hate the idea of war, I hope that the first person who came with this idea is now burning in hell! We must promote love and solidarity and not war!! WAR turned around comes as RAW (matches perfectly, raw behaviour carried by raw people)! Beautifully filmed, so professional! Shurijo castle, a wonderful place! Loved the underground footage as well, so mysterious and untouched like 75 years ago like you said! look at those walls! The music again spot on and your commentary exceptional! You should be proud of what you did with this video Tom! Impressive! xx

  6. Fascinating history, very well told. It was so sad and moving to see just how many men died in this battle, from both sides. The underground tunnels were incredibly well preserved. It must have felt intensely moving to hear about those poor men who committed suicide with hand grenades and see the marks on the walls. Thank you for sharing this with us. You really did a great job.

  7. Japan is the most vulnerable place when it comes to war. Japanese are great fighters for inventing such ways like this, tunnels are made to use for escapes that's why they did that. The battle was so cruel so it takes a long time to think and plan for it, because if you'll never plan it out, you may loose the battle.

  8. Hi friend, I really like this tour that you did on the island of Okinawa retracing the history of WWII.
    The emotional impact of seeing the exhibits and descending into the tunnels of the headquarters is truly impressive.
    It is a large labyrinth of tunnels and rooms, there is still a wooden table and chairs from the time.
    Have a good start to the week and thank you.
