Here we are 3/4 of a century later and still learning things about WWII. What a massive human endeavor. It is mind bending to me that so much went on in so many places, obscure corners of the world.
One of my current fascinations is the forward PT and Submarine bases of East Indonesia. Thousands of men fought there in what is still relative obscurity. After the war the fleets of PT boats were assembled and burned in remote coves of the islands.

I am more interested in WW 2 than WW 1...WW 2 is just more interesting...
East Indonesia...Dutch East Indies? Occupied by Japanese for most of the war...
yes, I am quite aware they were occupied by the japs but nonetheless, there were forward bases supplied by PT and submarine tenders.
