The Only Land Battle Fought on U.S. soil in WWII (Strange Stories)

On the The Aleutian Islands campaign
, the Canadian soldiers were issued with American M1 helmets to avoid friendly fire incidents..

I call BS, Guam was a territory of the US, therefore they were considered US soil. the Marine base there were ousted and then re-liberated after years of occupation by the Japanese. Fact check needed here.....just saying.

*Only land battle fought on US soil*
Years later: Area 51 Raid
Years later: Aliens are mad that we didn’t release them so they attack us. Boom they turn us into mindless McFUCKS and we walk around like headless zombies. Sounds like fun.

Always learning new things, thanks to history lesson

This historical event could make for a great PLAYERUNKNOWN Battlegrounds scenario/map. 🤦‍♂️

4:50 ish that’s mans mag is up side down

Battle of Attu & Kiska: Monty Python Edition.

My previous school had a map of the state of Alaska, even though I am from Norway. And on this map there is detailed description of these two battles, pretty cool tbh, the japanese planned to invade the third island in the island chain too if I remember correctly, but then chose not to.

Wow killing each others with no enemy

It should also be mentioned that the 1st special service forces was a joint unit of Canadian and American troops.

Stupid battle... Idiots.

You’ve been kicked from the server for excessive friendly fire

This story is really funny

Trust is the foundation of every relationship. So is not killing each other.

Is this the new battlefield v map?

Too many ads dude

Alaska: oof am shoot Canada lol | Canada: am will attack American and Alaska lol

Soldier: this is enemy?? | Government of canada: no

This is why we need to build a wall!.

F**k Raid Shadow Legends

The War of 1812 all over again, but this time, it's modern.

*Canadian sees American*

Canadian: do u want to 1v1 me

Hello simple history, my great grandfather fought in the battle of Attu I was wondering was there ever a banzai charge. My grandfather had told me that he was involved in a bayonet charge when a Japanese soldier charged and stabbed his elbow. On his way back a grenade landed in front or beside of his Jeep and caused an explosion causing head trauma but not killing him. He fought with the Americans. I was wondering if this story is flawed and if any of it is inaccurate.

I" m sorry but with this picture looks like US vs Canada

If I recall correctly, some of the troops the US brought into the campaign had just gone through desert warfare training because they were supposed to go to the North African Theater.

What about Pearl Harbor? Is that a U.S soil?

They made a war where there was none

Whoo agrees that the Japanese were a Worty opponent!!

Anyone else getting fallout vibes ? Glad I stumbled on this but of history.

This was one of the most highly kept secret from the public in WW2

Im surprised they didnt get kicked out of the server

Austria: "Y" proud

Damn it Carl, stop shooting the Canadians!

From a very technical standpoint, wouldn't the Philippines be considered "US soil" as it still was under US administration when the Japanese attacked?
It would be like if Puerto Rico was attacked. No one would say PR isn't US soil.

Aleutian Islands campaign Japanese Military Song.

Wow, that was f*ed up

This what happens when call of duty players become recruits.

313 casualties? And the Japanese still lost the island!
Can you imagine outscoring your opponent 313-0 and you still lose?

Einfach geil 👊🏼💙

Get your facts straight. Alaska, Guam and the Philippines were all territories of the United States in 1941 that were captured by the Japanese after the attack on Pearl Harbor. So there was more then one land battle fought on U.S. soil. If you were to change the title to North American soil, then you would be correct. But since you say U.S. SOIL, you are dismissing the 1,700 American troops who died on Guam and the 15,000 that died in the Philippines to retake american soil captured by the Japanese.

Mission failed, we'll get em next time.

Why are the Canadians wearing US m1 helmets and not Canadian Mk2 helmets?

Americans freaking out when the fog starts speaking American

Well this was embarrassing

Not a single photo of the actual islands or what remains of the Japanese installations...

Canadian officer: Men, prepare your apologies with the bullets of your rifles

Really ?! Can't they shout out to each other before firing ?

I bet we killed more yanks then they killed of us.........eh

28-4 Canadians . ehh

What about Pearl Harbor. I meannn technically ppl did fight the Japanese at Pearl Harbor

A royal cluster f**k

Professional narrator, animation looks like a 2 year old made it

There's a great book about the Aleutian Islands campaign called Ghosts in the Fog for anyone interested

Alaska was not a state then, so if you count it as a US soil you also have to count Guam and the Philippines that had a similar status to Alaska at the time.

Spanish civil war?

I think Hiroshima and Nagasaki are a bit more bizarre than this operation.
Or maybe the internment of over 100.000 Japanese-Americans who didn't commit any crimes.

Ironic how they all had m1 helmets

I was just reading about this on a booked called: "Ghosts in the Fog" so the timing couldn't have been any better lmao

A WW ll Japanese submarine surfaced in Feb. 1942 at Santa Barbara, CA and fired at the beach. Nobody was injured. He did manage to displace some sand.
