new intel found :
Japanese Monographs A description and guide to the Monographs. 03 April 2013: Added Monos 66, 179 and 180. Hardcopies courtesy of Robert McArthur. http://ibiblio.org/hyperwar/Japan/Monos/ Burma and Andaman Invasion Naval Operations (March-April 1942) [Navy] Brief summary of the invasion of the Andaman Islands by one battalion of the 18th Division and elements of two naval base forces, escorted by the 1st Escort Force. The Burma operation mentioned in title was not actually an invasion, but merely a large-scale troop escort operation in which the 56th Division was landed in the already secured port of Rangoon by the 2d Escort Force.

CTD - it's not just a job

That site is a treasure trove of detail. Most of it of no concern, other than the history aspect, which for me is ~way~ cool... I hope keltos01 isn't in any hurry for me to get anything done soon...

Excellent videos Keltos
Btw, the Japanese campaign will be very hard, won't it? Japanese submarines had fragile hulls and couldn't dive deeply. |

Why is that a "secret"? Is it a fake screen shot?
Seriously, why would you or anybody keep such things secret from us?? I am a bit consternated... |
