Discover the untold story of how American military strategists bypassed Japan's most heavily fortified Pacific base during World War Two, saving thousands of lives without firing a single shot. In nineteen forty three, Rabaul fortress in New Britain housed over one hundred ten thousand Japanese troops, five airfields, and three hundred sixty seven anti-aircraft guns, making it the most defended position in the South Pacific. Allied planners faced an impossible choice: launch a costly amphibious assault that would cost tens of thousands of casualties, or find another way. This documentary reveals how General George Marshall, General George Kenney, and Admiral William Halsey developed the revolutionary bypass strategy that changed Pacific warfare forever. Learn about Brigadier General Kenneth Walker and Major Raymond Wilkins, who gave their lives proving strategic bombing alone couldn't neutralize the fortress. See how the November nineteen forty three decision at the Quebec Conference isolated Rabaul, trapping the entire garrison without invasion. From the carrier strikes led by Rear Admiral Frederick Sherman to the final surrender overseen by Vice Admiral Jinichi Kusaka, this is the complete history of strategic innovation that shortened World War Two and became the blueprint for island-hopping operations across the Pacific theater. Historical documentary featuring verified accounts, accurate statistics, and the real commanders who made the decisions that saved over one hundred thousand American lives.
