Battle of Bumfuck Nowhere

2000 Australians with 140 Special Forces Abbos

vs

100 Emus

Result: Decisive Emu Victory

>>1036333
The commander thought that the completely outmatched Japanese fleet could win a decisive battle against Americans who knew where the Japanese fleet was and were determined to sink it.

So really being a stupid then?

I never really delved into the eastern front of WW2.
Any recommended readings, particularly on naval engaments and the such?

>>1036481
Eastern front refers to Russia v. Germany. You want the war in the pacific.

I have no recommendations (not the anon you're talking to) but this will help prevent you from getting books you're not interested in.

My mistake, I was just reading a thread referring to Japanese as eastern in a different context.

The Great Stand on the Ugra River

>>1036134
You forgot to add to the fact that large numbers of those 123 aircraft destroyed were simply out of fuel instead of being shot down.

Sorry man, I don't know many books to recommend to you on that.
