The Forgotten War Podcast: Burma Campaign WW2

about 1 year ago

As a young staff officer, Lunt had a unique view of the high command. He found General Alexander (3 from L) too refined. In contrast, Bill Slim (2 from R), in an ill-pressed shirt he’d likely slept in, was both “impressive and reassuring” and “dominated the scene”. #BillSlim #WW2 #BurmaCampaign

A rare photograph from the sadly mostly forgotten battle from the Burma campaign. The story of the 14th Army story is incredible. #billslim

The ruins of the tennis court at Kohima, a scene of terrible violence. For the Japanese the defeat at Imphal & Kohima was a devastating blow - as humiliating a loss as Singapore had been for the British. They never recovered. Imphal ended 75 years ago today.@KohimaEdTrust

@jwmeiser I'm with @LincolnJopp. #BillSlim's leadership in #Burma in #WW2 was remarkable. I'm using him as the case study for the intro chapter of a new book on #leadership because he turned the tide, leading to unexpected victory. Recommed @robert_lyman's brilliant 'Slim: Master of War'.
