Achtung, Akhtung, welcome to We Have Ways of Making You Talk USA with me, Al Murray,

James Holland, and John McManus.

And John, a few weeks ago we spoke about Guadalcanal at some length and the Solomon Islands campaign.

And we kept touching on Bougainville.

And so, I mean, although in our last meeting, we tried to include this,

but James just went on and on about Italy to the point.

It was just obnoxious, wasn't it?

It really was.

No, it was just exclusively elbowing aside the subject that you had slated, John.

And it was just not interesting.

I held my hand out.

It's shocking business. But I feel that even by having mentioned it, I might set him off. So what, what we're, quick, quick, John, get in with Boogh. Get in with Bougarville. Why do you want to talk about it? Anyway, the Gothic line. No. No, do it. Let's hear more about Kesselring.

Now, Bougainville is the is a capstone of the whole Solomon Islands campaign on some levels.

And it's this, you know, a huge island. It's, it's a horrifying place, like so many places in the Pacific.
