SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Jack Bowsher – Thunder Run: Meiktila 1945
DESCRIPTION:The Battle of Meiktila should be the stuff of legend in our collective memory of the Second World War.  Had it been carried out by Monty, Patton, Rommel, or Zhukov, it would be as well-known as the battles of France, Alamein, the Bulge, Kursk, or Overlord.  Yet it is the most incredible battle that you’ve never heard of. \n The culmination of all-arms manoeuvre warfare in the Second World War; tanks, motorised infantry, self-propelled artillery and air support charging across the dusty dry belt of central Burma, striking the Japanese Burma Area Army by surprise. Outnumbered and surrounded, 17th Indian Division and 255th Indian Tank Brigade annihilated their enemy in the battle that really finished the Japanese in Southeast Asia. \nHistorian Jack Bowsher talks about his new book Thunder Run: Meiktila 1945 \n \n
