The Invasion of Biak

1 tim 26 min•9 januari 2024
This week Seth and Bill take a step back from Operation FORAGER to look at the invasion of Biak which occurred in May 1944. In this little-known operation, the 41st Infantry Division was tasked with invading the island off the coast of New Guinea in an effort to capture airfields for further support of the upcoming FORAGER and the push toward the Philippines. Due to a massive Allied intel failure, Biak almost went sideways as the 41st landed against hardened and battle-tested Japanese troops on an almost 1 to 1 basis. The fighting that goes on in the operation and the decisions made by the command baffle the mind and very nearly lead to total disaster. Tune in and see what Seth and Bill have to say about this forgotten invasion in the Pacific. #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum
