    At 5:09 a video of a RAN ship is fighting back against the Japanese air attack. in Darwin. My father, Douglas Johnson was serving on HMAS WARREGO, ( a sloop) when it was attacked in the first raid that morning on 19th February 1942 when his ship shot down at least three aircraft . Dad survived the attack after the return from Timor where they had fought off two air attacks on the convoy the day before. He served until April 1946 and finished up as Leading Stoker on HMAS KIAMA , (a corvette).

    And one aspect never get mentioned in those war things ... The internal turmoil and aftermath the impact on the communities . Its one thing to deal with the occupant the enemy etc. When the germans where gone in lots of places it was payday for colaborateurs . My father and my uncle up to the end of their lifes where much more affected of those things than the other aspects of the war. When neighbors turned against each other and what that did to the town and the scars it left . The neighbor who was hiding jews and the ones who snitched about ...their grandchildren still cant look in one anothers eyes . Because its smal communities and rememberance is long there. And right after this ww2 what did we have next ...being the first country where the cold war was Projektingenieur the blueprint for All the ones to come... Civil war communist vs .....

    I think it acted as a deterrent to Spain joining the Axis forces because it was so brilliantly planned and executed so quickly. I have always believed the if you want to have the very best allies in the war, make sure it is Great Britain. For while they civilian population has become weak and slothful, their armed forces, especially the SAS keep up the fine tradition of he who takes the greatest chang, wins. Or Fortune Assists the Daring! if you are Scottish.
