Summary

Who won the race to liberate Rangoon: Mountbatten or Slim? When was Operation Dracula in 1945? Why was the treatment of Slim so bad after his incredible achievements? Join James Holland and Al Murray for Part 6 of this series, as they explore the forgotten victories of commander Bill Slim and the 14th Army at the end of a bloody Burma Campaign in WW2, where the biggest enemy wasn't the Japanese but the remote landscape of jungles and rivers.
