So far we have covered active fighting in Europe, Africa, and Asia. With the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union this summer we have already seen the scale of this war increase to an overwhelming new level. As if all of this was not enough, more trouble seems to be brewing in the Far East, and Hideki Tojo plays an important role in escalating the matter. Hope you enjoy this episode, and as always be sure to respect our rules of conduct when commentating: community.timeghost.tv/t/rules-of-conduct/4518

A question for Out of the Foxholes: Hello Indy and Crew! Been watching since 1914 and my favorite outfit to wear on any given day is my "I've got 99 problems, I'm an Austro-Hungarian soldier in 1915" shirt and hoody combo. (My question contains spoilers for the war) How much influence did the East Indies oil and Malayan rubber have on Japans ability to continue war operations? We know that Japan felt as though it had no choice but to attack the western holdings due to impending embargo crisis, but did the capture and use of East Indies oil and Malayan rubber actually solve this issue? Or did it solve the resource issue temporarily? I know that by 1945 only 5% of Japan's merchant fleet was left due mainly to US submarine effort so obviously they were not getting what they needed by that point. I love the incite you and your team can give! Thank you!

I often wonder what might have been had Ishiwara, not Tojo become Prime Minister. He held enough influence and reputation that he could be an outspoken critic of Japan's hypocrisy and actions in Asia all throughout the war. He also believed in the creation of strong Asian allies instead of imperial servants. Under him, Imperial Japan could have gone in a drastically different direction.

Tojo's power came from his status as war minister, not from the prime minister gig. He was war minister from July 1940 to July 1944. There was a limitation on Tojo's power that this video doesn't mention. Although he was war minister, he did not select the army chief of staff. For most of the time Tojo was war minister, the army chief was Sugiyama Hajime, a fight-to-the-death fanatic. Japan adopted a "Strike South" strategy to attack the United States and Britain at an imperial conference in July 1941. This decision was a response to Hitler's offensive against Russia, not to the U.S. oil embargo. The Russians pulled their troops out of Asia to deal with the German invasion, so Japanese militarists figured that this was their big chance.

In Japan, as in the UK, allocation of all vital steel armor plate production in particular and all steel in general was controlled by the Navy. That is why any new tank production/ design for the IJA involved a long humiliating begging exercise by some unfortunate "Army officer/ diplomat" at IJN HQ. It is interesting the First WW1 UK tanks were constructed with the official encouragement of the First Sea Lord, Winston S Churchill, top RN seadog. He also made a game effort to have them designated as "land ships" so the Royal Navy would still keep control of how the new weapons were going to be used on the Western Front. That was a bridge too far for the Army.

There are some things that I have been wondering about. Why didn't Japan use Russian territory to trade with Neutral countries like Turkey or Sweden or Switzerland or Spain or Portugal or it's allies like Germany and Italy since Japan and Russia was not fighting each other. Japan continued to honor it's neutrality pact with Russia. So if Japan and Russia was still on good terms with each other, then that would indicate that Japan most likely did communicate and trade with Nuetral countries as well as its Axis allies through Russian territory. Another thing: Did Russia have a similar nonaggression pact with Japan, similiar to the soviet German Molotov Ribbentropp pact? Did Russia provide Raw materials to Japan as well similar to the Molotov Ribbentropp pact? And one more thing : Did Japan and Russia really remain at peace with each other from 1941 until August 8 1945 upon signing of Matsauko Molotov pact, or were there still border clashes between Russia and Japan even after the signing of the Matsauko Molotov pact. And finally did Japan actually control North Sakhalin even after 1925? All the way until 1945? Please try to find answers to these questions and please try to do a documentary on these questions I have. Please let me know as soon as you get a chance. Iam hoping and expecting to hear from you soon. And I also hope to receive your reply soon or hopefully perhaps even sooner. Thank you so much in advance.
