Week 244 – Germany's Existential Crisis – WW2 – April 29, 1944



The fighting at Kohima is up close, personal, and vicious, as it is at Imphal. The Allies consolidate their gains at Hollandia, the Japanese are advancing in Central China, and it seems like the Chinese Nationalist Army has lost the support of the civilian population. This might not surprise you when we take a closer look.

  1. It is insane to think that believing in a political ideology is somehow going to prevent defeat. I guess that's why it's called "Faith" their is no evidence to support whatever you believe so you must have "faith".

  2. My grandfather was on LST 499 during Exercise Tiger. He was very nearly killed by German machine-gun fire when the E-boats attacked. He once told me of the horrors he saw in the aftermath of the atack, he said the surface of the water was covered with the bodies of dead Americans. LST 499 survived Exercise Tiger and made the landing at Utah Beach on D-day, June 6th 1944. On June 8th wile transporting German prisoners back across the English channel, LST 499 struck a German mine and sank. My grandfather was thrown down a ladder and badly broke his back, earning a purple heart and effectively ending his war. Afterward he met General Eisenhower on 2 separate occasions while he was recovering onboard a hospital ship. Hearing those stores as a kid inspired me to research military history and peruse a career in the military. I wouldn't be the man I am today without the influence of my grandfather. They truly were the greatest generation.

  3. Surely the Jaoanese must have had a very hard time waging war in Manipur and Nagaland,with the majority of the entire state's geography covered by hills,its very hard to even move from one place to another yet the Japanese came to wage war

  4. The seeds of the collapse of China into communism because of Nationalist greed and corruption is the biggest thread in 44 and so often ignored.
