A special show to acknowledge the 80th anniversary of the Japanese landings at Rabaul. The Battle of Rabaul, also known by the Japanese as Operation R, was the instigating action of the New Guinea campaign, and was fought on the island of New Britain in the Australian Territory of New Guinea, from 23 January into February 1942.
My guest Phillip Bradley will also talk about Japanese massacred 160 Lark Force prisoners at Tol Plantation, on the southern coast of New Britain. Nearly 850 Lark Force prisoners of war were also killed on July 1, 1942, when an American submarine sank the Montevideo Maru, the Japanese “hell ship” upon which they were being transported.
Hell's Battlefield is Phillip Bradley's book that tells the whole story of the Australians against the Japanese in New Guinea during WWII, from invasion in 1942 to the brutal end game in 1945.
