Guadalcanal and the Pacific Theater

Why We Fight ~ 1944 - En podkast av Sasha Maggio (MoT)

Kategorier:

In this first episode on the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO), I'm joined by Kater Miller, a Marine Corps veteran and curator with the National Museum of the United States Marine Corps. Kater shares the story of Guadalcanal, which requires a little bit of back history since the battle lasted about six months and began in mid-1942. The episode is a couple weeks late but in February we had the 80th anniversary of the end of this Campaign (7 AUG 1942 to 9 FEB 1943), which did end in an Allied victory and had marked the beginning of Allied offensive operations in the PTO.
