Hi LostLady and welcome.

What specifically did you want to know.

From an American, Australian, New Zealand viewpoint?

This was a huge theatre of operations with great loss of life.

Be more specific and we will try and point you in the right direction.

You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
