Carlson's Long Patrol (2022x195)

Fecha de emisión: Nov 22, 2022

Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series covering the Pacific War week by week continues. Last week, a decisive battle started in New Guinea, as the Allied forces attempted to quickly destroy the Japanese defenses in the Buna-Gona area. Yet we only got to see the beginning of this struggle last time, and contrary to MacArthur’s expectations, there is much more to tell about the bloody Battle of Buna-Gona. Additionally, today we’ll see Colonel Carlson and his Raiders embark on a Long Patrol to pursue and destroy the Shoji Detachment, a patrol that would last for 29 days and that would see the Raiders endure some of the most extreme conditions in the jungles of Guadalcanal.
