Battle 360 is a great show, so many people nowadays have zero knowledge of our History.

Halsey was lucky not to have been court marshaled after being fooled by the Japanese

Battle 360 Episode 9 -”Battle of Leyte Gulf” is an exceptionally good History Channel piece.
When my father was alive, he told me he participated in the Battle of Leyte Gulf Off Samar. I also knew he was on USS Heermann. I did not know until I watched this Battle 360 episode a half dozen years ago, how much he’d been through.

On vacation in New Orleans. I had the honor to chat with a survivor of the CVE-65 outside the WWII museum saturday. Also met the son of a Navajo code talker at my reunion.

To this day I’m amazed that Hollywood (even in its better days of war movies) has never given Leyte Gulf any consideration.
