WW2's bloody battle for Arakan

Military historian Lucy Betteridge-Dyson discusses the 1944 Arakan offensive in Burma — 3 Commando Brigade's amphibious assaults alongside Indian and West African troops of XV Corps against entrenched Japanese positions. The Burma campaign remains criminally underserved in podcast form, and this episode covers both the operational challenges of fighting in some of the worst terrain on earth and the multinational composition of the force. A strong entry from History Extra, which doesn't always deliver at this level on military topics.
