Australia's Thermopylae - Battle of Isurava - Pacific War #41 DOCUMENTARY

Wizards and Warriors

Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series covering the Pacific War week by week continues with another video. In our last episode, we covered the carrier Battle of the Eastern Solomons, as the Japanese attempted to land reinforcements on Guadalcanal, and we’ve also covered the start of the Battle of Milne Bay, where outnumbered Japanese managed to push back the defenders towards the airfield at Rabi. New developments were also unfolding in the Kokoda Track. With the bulk of the South Seas Detachment finally on New Guinean soil, the Japanese now prepared to start their main drive against Port Moresby; an offensive that would be opposed by brave Australian soldiers in what is considered as Australia’s Thermopylae. Join us as we cover the Battle of Isurava and the Japanese Advance on Eora Creek.
