It is 238 weeks since Germany invaded Poland. Here is what was going on 79 years ago during the week of 12-18 March 1944:

quote:

Operation U-Go, Renya Mutaguchi's invasion of India, is in full swing this week, as his men aim at Imphal and Kohima; three Soviets Fronts batter their way through the Axis positions all over Ukraine; and there is a huge Allied bombing campaign at Cassino in Italy, which mistakenly kills a lot of Allied soldiers. That's one busy week.

In circa 1940s I don't think Japan's water quality was that much better than India's.

The Japanese mistakenly believed the Indian population would prefer Japanese rule instead of the British.

I don't know..

It's definitely better now though, even with the radiation.

And exactly six years later, to the day, I was born. And the whole world was moving on to Korea.
