Pacific - The Island to Island War (February 1942-July 1945) :
The Allied Pacific offensive was commanded by two rivals: General MacArthur in the South West and Admiral Nimitz in the Central Pacific. Their two-pronged strategy seemed simple. But the Japanese were ferocious animals in defence, and severe casualties were the keynotes of the island battles. On Pelelieu, four in ten Americans were killed or wounded. On Iwo Jima only 200 of the 21,000 Japanese survived. Only when their continued efforts brought them to within reach of the Japanese civilian population, did the Americans begin to see the 'animals' as human beings.

Reckoning April 1945:
The end of war in central Europe was a time without pity. Russian and American intervention ensured that no European nation could win. The United Nations was born 'to build for a better world'. America planned to mould Japan into a modern industrial nation. Nobody wanted Germany to be strong again - yet no nation would be responsible for keeping her a ruin. Russia, America, Britain and France agreed to share the supervision of Germany's recovery, amid mutual mistrust.

Remember :
For millions, the Second World War remained the significant experience of their lives. For millions more, it meant the end of all memories. Twenty million Russians dead. Five million Germans. Six million Jews. Over three million Japanese, American, British and Commonwealth dead. The bereaved will never forget the moment they heard the news. Many still remember, each year, at reunions, at the Cenotaph, at gravesides. Yet many also remember less sombre things - moments of joy, laughter and comradeship. But the important thing is to remember.
