00:00:28,84 --> 00:00:40,28
and sea raid on Pearl Harbor America's
midfoot epic naval bastion.

5
00:00:40,29 --> 00:00:45,03
On December seventh one nine hundred forty

00:00:45,03 --> 00:00:50,67
struck first then declared war after
costly to our Navy was the loss of war

7
00:00:50,67 --> 00:00:52,47
that airplanes and equipment

8
00:00:52,47 --> 00:00:57,58
but more costly to Japan was the effectiveness
of its fall attack in a mediately

00:00:57,58 --> 00:01:02,20
unifying America in its determination
to fight and win the war rushed upon it

10
00:01:02,20 --> 00:01:03,35
and to win the peace

11
00:01:03,35 --> 00:01:09,38
that will follow the Japs copy the German
masters in striking hard at airfields

12
00:01:09,38 --> 00:01:11,82
take them failed northwest of Honolulu.

13
00:01:12,11 --> 00:01:17,54
And the Island naval plane base the first
objective of Japan's treachery scores of

14
00:01:17,54 --> 00:01:20,75
planes were bruised and battered
by the Japs aerial bombs.

15
00:01:20,86 --> 00:01:27,10
Many of these was demolished beyond
repair direct hits were scored on hangers

16
00:01:27,10 --> 00:01:30,93
and these were badly shattered equipment
an airplane supplies were reduced to

17
00:01:30,93 --> 00:01:34,41
smoldering ruins here at the
Naval Air Station is grim

18
00:01:34,41 --> 00:01:39,10
and positive evidence of Jap treachery
their fall blows was struck while Jap

19
00:01:39,10 --> 00:01:46,00
diplomats were talking peace in
Washington America lost three destroyers

20
00:01:46,00 --> 00:01:48,80
here on the scene the United
States destroyers downs

21
00:01:48,80 --> 00:01:54,00
and as they rest on the bottom of Pearl
Harbor with Dexter wash out the Jap bombers

00:01:54,00 --> 00:02:00,80
make direct hits on their Dec first to be
a listing of Japanese deal. Other U.S.

23
00:02:00,80 --> 00:02:02,07
At Oklahoma and Utah.

24
00:02:02,35 --> 00:02:07,21
The latter a thirty three year old target
accurate hit by the enemy bombers make

25
00:02:07,21 --> 00:02:11,70
short work of these two naval now with
their keel cyclically out of water.

26
00:02:11,79 --> 00:02:18,68
They lie helpless wrecks at a sad reminder
of cowardly strategy to make possible

27
00:02:18,68 --> 00:02:23,36
a surprise attack within Pearl Harbor the
Jets built to manned submarines to enable

28
00:02:23,36 --> 00:02:26,50
them to fire sneak blows
within waters that are narrow

29
00:02:26,50 --> 00:02:31,44
and taught us several of these surprise
weapons were blown from the water by direct

beached and captured while the sky and see.

31
00:02:37,54 --> 00:02:42,63
Fire was still raging salvage crews inspected
all naval craft to estimate what may

00:02:42,63 --> 00:02:49,62
be saved before the din the bursting
bombs had been silenced cover ations

33
00:02:49,62 --> 00:02:56,56
were on the way to salvage
these two warships at low

34
00:02:56,56 --> 00:03:01,29
tide the huge propeller of the Oklahoma
still by the enemy was high above water.

35
00:03:01,36 --> 00:03:02,07
It is believed

36
00:03:02,07 --> 00:03:06,62
that these small two men Jap submarines
carrying fuel to a pedo tubes were

37
00:03:06,62 --> 00:03:09,17
responsible for these two
losses to our Pacific fleet.

38
00:03:29,56 --> 00:03:33,88
Here is the actual bombing of the
mighty U.S.S. Arizona Bijapur plane.

39
00:03:35,08 --> 00:03:38,85
These pictures were made by a fearless
camera man who thought nothing of his

40
00:03:38,85 --> 00:03:45,23
personal safety to make possible this
record for all posterity a single lucky hit

41
00:03:45,23 --> 00:03:47,89

that the Valley Arizona.

42
00:03:48,20 --> 00:03:52,69
When a Jap bomb falling directly through
one of the battleships panels exploded in

43
00:03:52,69 --> 00:03:53,21
the engine room

44
00:03:53,21 --> 00:03:59,93
and set ablaze tons of fuel oil
dense black smoke billowed to the.

45
00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:06,13
Guy has a massive control tower began to
keel over the arrows on his courageous

46
00:04:06,13 --> 00:04:10,67
crew stuck to its guns until the
very end here was displayed heroism

47
00:04:10,67 --> 00:04:13,07
that will live forever
in the glorious Annals

48
00:04:13,07 --> 00:04:21,31
and traditions of the American Navy.

49
00:04:23,37 --> 00:04:28,02
The once mighty Arizona now rests on Pearl
Harbor as muddy bottom a pitiful relic

50
00:04:28,02 --> 00:04:32,65
of its former self a grim monument to the
treachery of Japan the once mighty dread

51
00:04:32,65 --> 00:04:34,84
not of armor plate is twisted in pawn.

52
00:04:34,96 --> 00:04:39,08
But the great battleships control
towers still stand by and beacon

53
00:04:39,08 --> 00:04:44,64
that in days to come will cast its shadow
upon Nippon very shores at Pearl Harbor

54
00:04:44,64 --> 00:04:48,51
at Hickam Field in the bomb plot streets
of Honolulu ever is written history

55
00:04:49,21 --> 00:04:52,11
history with a tragic
treacherous ten history

56
00:04:52,11 --> 00:04:54,48
that one hundred thirty million
Americans will never forget

57
00:04:54,48 --> 00:05:01,14
and in days to come the Japs too
will remember Pearl Harbor here is a

00:05:01,14 --> 00:05:05,60
tragic unforgettable page in the annals
of America Hears a cunning deceit of the

Japs will never be forgotten.

60
00:05:07,00 --> 00:05:10,22
Here they hope to score a
knockout before the world again.

61
00:05:11,50 --> 00:05:13,17
The Arizona's gun crawls battered

62
00:05:13,17 --> 00:05:17,63
and broken fire to the last their guns
pointed skyward from whence the enemy

63
00:05:17,63 --> 00:05:23,78
appears the Jets sneak low cost hundreds
of military and civilian lives.

64
00:05:24,09 --> 00:05:28,45
The treacherous attack cost office evict
late two battleships outright another

00:05:28,45 --> 00:05:31,27
capsize the loss of great
destroyers and a mine layer.

66
00:06:01,38 --> 00:06:02,84
While bombs were still bursting

67
00:06:02,84 --> 00:06:06,88
and flames still pouring from our shattered
naval craft a life United States

68
00:06:06,88 --> 00:06:09,11
cruiser valiantly moves
out to join the fleet

69
00:06:09,11 --> 00:06:24,11
and avenge Pearl Harbor June

71
00:06:24,69 --> 00:06:29,18
Nineteen thirty five the Normandy sixty
million dollar luxury liner comes to America

72

on its maiden crossing
of the Atlantic an event

73
00:06:32,16 --> 00:06:35,77
that occasioned a Marine demonstration
that will live in history whistles blow

74
00:06:35,77 --> 00:06:41,48
and siren shrieked the mighty welcome to
the new queen of the famed skyline of

75
00:06:41,48 --> 00:06:45,90
America's greatest city in the fitting
background for America's greetings to one of

76
00:06:45,90 --> 00:06:46,99
the most stately ships

77
00:06:46,99 --> 00:06:53,72
that ever crossed the
Atlantic sixty years later.

78
00:06:53,76 --> 00:06:57,18
Shortly after the United States entered
the war the Normandy was seized

79
00:06:57,18 --> 00:07:01,87
and placed under naval God hundreds of
civilian workers before the Normandy renamed

80
00:07:01,87 --> 00:07:05,51
the U.S.S. Latvia to start so that
some of its costly furnishings

81
00:07:05,51 --> 00:07:09,05
and to prepare it for war duty
as United States plans for

82
00:07:12,38 --> 00:07:16,56
that ruler in one thousand nine hundred
forty two the Normandy of fire up take a

83
00:07:16,56 --> 00:07:18,19
tragedy to the big luxury liner

84
00:07:18,19 --> 00:07:23,15
and to America as the flames rapidly
spread to devastating fury workers madly

85
00:07:23,15 --> 00:07:25,12
scramble to safety fire boats

86
00:07:25,12 --> 00:07:30,38
and fire engines per tons of water
into the second battle vertical

87
00:07:30,39 --> 00:07:33,58
and horizontal close to protect
the ships vital from the planes

88
00:07:33,58 --> 00:07:38,79
but this was all in vain dense cloud of
thick acrid smoke billowed far out over

89
00:07:38,79 --> 00:07:41,53
Manhattan casting a
mucky pall over midtown

90
00:07:41,53 --> 00:07:48,50
and downtown New York while the blaze was

91
00:07:48,50 --> 00:07:50,42
at its height hundreds of doctors nurses

92
00:07:50,42 --> 00:07:53,75
and First Aid workers rushed to
the scene to remove the wounded

93
00:07:53,75 --> 00:07:58,32
and to administer first aid to school
overcome in their efforts to stem the fury of

94
00:07:58,32 --> 00:08:01,03
the spreading flames.
Millions stood in awe

95
00:08:01,03 --> 00:08:05,37
when the norm of the first reached America
on its triumphant maiden voyage again

96
00:08:05,37 --> 00:08:09,84
millions line the New York New Jersey
Shore's to sadly observe the passing of the

97
00:08:09,84 --> 00:08:11,31
doomed an ill fated ship.

98
00:08:13,82 --> 00:08:17,96
Rear Admiral Adama Xandros commandant of
the third naval district ordered all hands

99
00:08:17,96 --> 00:08:21,83
ashore to save the lives of those who are
heroically battling to keep the huge

100
00:08:21,83 --> 00:08:28,45
liner upright hour after hour tons of water
were pumped into the normal day causing

101
00:08:28,45 --> 00:08:30,78
a bad list to port as strongholds

102
00:08:30,78 --> 00:08:34,08
and snapped in tug stroll to push
the giant vessel close to the war

103
00:08:41,53 --> 00:08:44,34
then during the night the
Normandy merits final deal

104
00:08:44,34 --> 00:08:46,44
when with the resulting crunch of ice

105
00:08:46,44 --> 00:08:50,64
and a belted smoke the eighty three
thousand ton vessel dipped a flame scarred

106
00:08:50,64 --> 00:08:54,43
superstructure into the surface of the
Hudson River hundreds were injured

107
00:08:54,43 --> 00:08:58,60
when America lost its biggest naval
accumulate millions of dollars of damage has

108
00:08:58,60 --> 00:08:58,95
been done

109
00:08:58,95 --> 00:09:14,84
and thousands of man hours of labor
have been nullified accident

110
00:09:14,85 --> 00:09:17,44
or sabotage the world may never know

111
00:09:17,44 --> 00:09:22,76
but the fate of the luxury liner Normandy
rechristen the US at Lafayette is one of

112
00:09:22,76 --> 00:09:24,95
the major catastrophes of our day.
