Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series covering the Pacific War continues with a video on the Papua campaign of 1942-1943 as the allies score their first victory headlined by Australia. After Midway, Japan’s momentum in the Pacific was shaken—but not broken. Determined to isolate Australia and seize Port Moresby, Japanese commanders launched a brutal overland offensive through the jungles and mountains of Papua New Guinea.
