| Video Discription | 80th Anniversary of the Australian 18th Brigade Attack at Buna With Phillip Bradley More Australian and New Zealand content https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDG3XyxGI5lBt8GeHrYoTE4RlKdBg15Tk More WW2TV content about New Guinea and the Solomon Islands https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDG3XyxGI5lBUZXX50eTgj9_tvuhBfHqz Following the Kokoda Trail campaign the Japanese retreated into the Papuan beachheads, the strongest of which was Buna. The US 32nd Division was given the task of capturing Buna but after a month of trying, no ground had been gained and the division was weakened by casualties, disease and exhaustion. Under considerable pressure from General MacArthur the Australian 18th Brigade was brought forward and from 18 December 1942 carried out a series of costly but successful attacks against the formidable Japanese lines of fortifications which led to the fall of Buna on 2 January 1943. The presentation will cover the American experience but concentrate on a series of attacks by the three Australian battalions against the Japanese defences which led to the fall of Buna. A series of photos taken during these battles will accompany the presentation, along with more recent colour photos including drone footage. Interviews with three participants in the battles will also be aired. Phillip Bradley is a leading Australian military historian. His extensive research on the battlefield, in the archives and with the veterans of the campaign has given him an intimate knowledge of the the commando raid on Salamaua. We are thrilled that he is joining us to talk about this dramatic and important battle. 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. https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/general-books/military/Hells-Battlefield-Phillip-Bradley-9781743317556 USA https://bookshop.org/a/21029/9781743317556 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hells-Battlefield-Australians-Guinea-World-ebook/dp/B008YP2A5Q Other similar shows on WW2TV 80th Anniversary of the Raid on Salamaua - New Guinea 1942 https://youtu.be/1no5BeRVhKk The Battle for Shaggy Ridge - New Guinea WW2 https://youtu.be/5IAzkmin3Pk The Japanese Attack on Rabaul 1942 https://youtu.be/Q8mUAl8OQs0 Australians in Bougainville 1944/45 https://youtu.be/sWpvTUTM_oc The Kokoda Track - Australians in New Guinea https://youtu.be/1zsEAFKcR2A An Australian Band of Brothers https://youtu.be/f4Yq64qCupw The RAAF War in the South West Pacific https://youtu.be/TzK_NbxFhDc Japanese Attacks on Darwin and Northern Australia 1942 https://youtu.be/hD4DHpEOQ-Y You can become a YouTube Member and support us here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUC1nmJGHmiKtlkpA6SJMeA You can become a Patron here https://www.patreon.com/WW2TV Please click subscribe for updates Social Media links - https://twitter.com/WW2TV https://www.facebook.com/WW2TV https://www.instagram.com/ww2tv/ WW2TV Bookshop - where you can purchase copies of books featured in my YouTube shows.
