You couldn't make up a better story. After watching a handful of them. On this documentary and many others I've watched. It just blows my mind..
This documentary about the Australian rats of Tobruk is one of the best films of its kind. Wherever they went, the Australians were some of the best, toughest soldiers, in both the first and the second world wars .

Yeah, as I discovered the Brits used the Australians, Kiwis and the Canadians because they didn't want to waste their own men, Canucks and Aussies and Kiwis were expendable. Did it in WWI as well. I got fed the line in school how great we were! Years later a Scots uncle in the RAF told me about the colonials who arrived in full gear, ordered to take off their gear and boots only to find the British soldiers wearing them the next day and the second hand gear given to the colonials since they were second class people. The colonials had two enemies, he said: the Brits and the enemy. Now I don't quite know how to take that and I have no way of verifying it but it sounds suspicious, especially when you find out that Winston Churchill gave credit to the colonial soldiers. Good boys, thanks for taking the brunt of the rush (so our boys, the Brits, could go to glory after they decimated you!) So the Aussies were sort of on a do or die mission, damned if they did and damned if they didn't. Toughest fighters because they had to fight everybody not just the Germans.
Awesome documentary

What a story of the SS Ohio. Sounds like that would make a pretty good movie.
IMHO best British general during the war was William Slim.

Erwin rommel wasn't in charge of "hitlers bodyguard" that would've been Heinrich himmler of the ss idk where they got that from
By this point in the war, March 1944, most people realized the fallacy of siding with the Japanese imperial Army. Hirohito‘s army what is already guilty of atrocious war, crimes. Like some of the survivors of this campaign to defend India, it was a desperate battle to the bitter end.
Is that anthony hoppkins?
