I have a brother in the Ukraine. Visited the open air museum which gives an idea of the scale of the real WW2. It's mind boggling and horrific.

The movie is on the list of things to watch. I have quite a stack now, thank you.

On a different track, this documentary has no movie visuals etc, but is a documentary about the Australians vs Japanese in the war to try and capture Port Moresby.

The Kokoda track campaign.

No tanks, and only a few artillary pieces make it to the front lines. -g-

Bureaucracy somehow arranged the least trained lower end of Australian forces were matched against the best trained elite Jungle fighters of the Japanese forces. The Australians were officered by older combat experienced men from WW1 but the ranks were typically 18 years old or less.



& MacArthur didn't have a good thing to say during the whole campaign.

The Australians have a long record of not putting up with an overbearing authority. So I am a bit mystified with whats going on there today.

New Zealand too. And Canada.
