I think the pacific theatre of WW2 gets overlooked in general by the public. Maybe it’s in my head idk.

Just seems whenever you hear anyone mention WW2 it’s only the European front. You’ll hear about the atom bomb and Okinawa and Iwo Jima, but overall I feel it’s get overlooked. And it’s a shame bc it was more brutal than Europe.

Exactly. We didn’t learn about the Philippines or the Midway Islands in school. I learned that on my own as an adult
