The Path to Pearl Harbor Wrap-up with Extra History LIES
Added 2023-01-06 20:56:29 +0000 UTCWelcome Extra Historians to Lies, where we talk about the mistakes we made and the details we couldn't quite squeeze into our Path to Pearl Harbor Series. With questions like, what's the difference between an Admiral and a Commodore? How did the Japanese think they could fight the US, the USSR and hold down all of China at the same time? And what happened to Nomura after the attack?

Man I can’t believe you didn’t touch on the treatment of American POWs, the Japanese fire bomba bag of the United States west coast and history revisionism. I understand its the "path…but you made the Japanese as victims when they were committing war crimes on a daily basis.

To re ~ ask an earlier question: would the Battle of The Bulge be done as a one off, or would it have to be voted on by the Patrons?
