This week, the U.S is able to claim a small and much desired victory at sea, but the impact of this is somewhat overblown by those eager to claim vengeance for the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbour. In North Africa, Allied and Axis forces lack the strength and supplies to mount a proper offensive for now. In the centre of the Soviet-German front, Soviet forces attempt once again to cut off and encircle the jagged and messy German lines, but the German military is increasingly capable of repelling these attacks. Singapore continues to hang in the balance, with a decisive Japanese final blow against the naval city seeming increasingly possible.

Pearl Harbor Avenged! - WW2 - 128 - February 6, 1942

The Japanese advance in Burma and the Dutch East Indies, but they've reached the end of the Malayan Campaign- Singapore, which they have under siege. They now prepare for the final assault. The Allies are going on the offensive at sea, though, in the Marshalls-Gilberts Raids, while on land in the Soviet Union the Red Army launches another series of offensives against the Germans.

Guys, one thing about a recent change — I don't know what others think, but I find the "slowly appearing" quotations text tremendously distracting! I think it was way better when it was fixed text. It kind of "forces" to follow the voice with the letters and it distracts from the actual message. I noticed the change in the Pearl Harbor series, hoped it would stay there, but it didn't... And it's probably easier from a technical point of view to make them static! This is something the editor can't notice because s/he knows the content already while adding the text and checking the sync. :D But for someone who watches the content for the first time it's very uncomfortable. And most importantly — I don't think it has any advantages whatsoever... Or do you think it does?

Great episode as usual. Good to see that the Japanese use of the Sultan of Johore's palace to plan for the Battle of Singapore was mentioned this week. By the way, not sure if there may be any chance that the Japanese spy Patrick Stanley Vaughan Heenan might be mentioned in the next two weekly episodes?

Just checked the scripts and doesn't seem to be mentioned. The episodes have probably already been filmed so sadly he likely won't appear in the weekly episodes. We'll see if there's a way we can do his story justice though.

No worries, I will just add a footnote in the comments during the appropriate weekly episode to increase awareness then since actually Patrick Heenan is often overlooked here in Singapore as well. His story is somewhat interesting when understanding his impact to the Malayan Campaign. I suppose Lieutenant Adnan bin Saidi and his Malay Regiment will probably be mentioned since they are quite well known locally in Singapore and Malaysia but maybe not so in the West perhaps?

Thank you! I can see there are several likes to my post, glad to see it isn't just me being weird. :D

O D

The U.S. and I think the British, received good intelligence from Magic on Germany. Among a number of things, they will soon understand that in the long run Germany is running out of fuel and can't replace it.

Is it just me, or do the visuals starting around 5:30 use a UK flag for the US fleet? Also, it's obviously a Canadian soldier digging the trench. Were there Canadians there? >.>

Why lost planes on Enterprise are marked by UK flag?

Excellent episode!

ABDA fleet under the command of a Dutch rear admiral. Even though they didn't have any chance. It does make me proud of Karel Doorman, who would go down with his ship

I really hope you remember the ludicrousness of trying to do anything complex with an ad hoc command of several nations when we get to Burma.

Amazing episode! My OCD can’t help but notice that the flag next to the losses for the American carrier planes is a British one though

My Father was in Singapore in 1942, and from there Burma, and via the Burma Road into China. I have photographs from this time, would you like copies of Singapore, Moulmein, Rangoon, Burma Road, China?
