About Give the Bastards Hell: The Battle for Milne Bay, New Guinea 1942

In New Guinea’s jungles, a fierce battle turned the tide of the Pacific War–the first major land defeat for the unstoppable Japanese forces. By mid-August 1942, Imperial Japanese forces dominated the Southeast Asian and Pacific theatres, seemingly unstoppable in their advance. While the Japanese South Seas Force pushed north toward Port Moresby along the Kokoda Track, they launched an operation against Milne Bay at the eastern tip of New Guinea. Their to seize the crucial Allied airfields under construction, which would pave the way for capturing Port Moresby and consolidating their hold on the region. For two intense weeks, Japanese marines, supported by tanks and naval bombardments, battled through the jungle-covered strip of land between the beaches and mountains. Facing them was a determined and diverse Allied force–Australian militia, 2nd AIF troops, American engineers, and, critically, Australian fighter pilots–who fought the Japanese to a standstill near the partially completed Air Strip No. 3. Despite desperate human wave attacks by the Japanese, the Allies held their ground. When the smoke cleared, the Japanese had suffered their first significant land defeat since Pearl Harbor. The Battle of Milne Bay marked a turning point in the Pacific War, signalling the beginning of the end for the Imperial Japanese Empire.
